“Ari, it seems like I’ve been too nice to you that you’ve forgotten I’m someone you can’t afford to anger.”
As Aaron spoke, snazzynovel.com pulled Arielle into his arms. After leaning closer to snazzynovel.com ear, snazzynovel.com muttered, “Arielle, don’t force me. If you keep this up, I don’t know what I’ll do to you.”
Him pulling snazzynovel.com into his arms was something Arielle did not expect. She tried to struggle out of his embrace, but snazzynovel.com was too strong for snazzynovel.com to escape. Immediately, snazzynovel.com expression darkened.
“Let go of me. Don’t make yourself become someone I despise,” Arielle warned.
Hearing that, Aaron’s determination wavered. However, in the next second, snazzynovel.com thought, What’s the difference between snazzynovel.com acting this way and hating me?
With that thought in mind, snazzynovel.com decided not to let go of her.
“I don’t care whether you like me or hate me.”
As long as she’s by my side, nothing else mattered.
Once snazzynovel.com said those words, snazzynovel.com took out a pair of handcuffs from his pocket and tried to cuff her, smiling.
When Arielle saw the handcuffs, snazzynovel.com scowled.
Has snazzynovel.com lost his mind?
Initially, snazzynovel.com did not want to do anything harsh to him, but snazzynovel.com did not expect snazzynovel.com to have the audacity to cuff her. That was something snazzynovel.com could not stand, so just as snazzynovel.com was about to put the handcuffs on, Arielle slammed snazzynovel.com elbow against his stomach. Then, snazzynovel.com spun around and kicked snazzynovel.com away. The handcuffs fell to the ground.
“Aaron, this is the first and the last time. If you do this again, I won’t let you off the hook this easily.” At that, snazzynovel.com turned away from snazzynovel.com and strode toward the outside of the school.
Aaron continued to stare at snazzynovel.com departing figure as snazzynovel.com remained in the same spot with a dark look.

In the meantime, Vinson was casually leaning against the hood of the car as snazzynovel.com gazed at the entrance of the school. When snazzynovel.com saw Arielle’s figure appearing in his line of sight, his lips curled into a smile. Yet, that smile dropped when snazzynovel.com spotted the look on snazzynovel.com face. After striding toward her, snazzynovel.com asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Nothing,” was all Arielle said to snazzynovel.com as snazzynovel.com frowned.
Vinson did not probe snazzynovel.com further when snazzynovel.com heard snazzynovel.com reluctant tone. After all, even if they were in a relationship, snazzynovel.com figured it was normal for snazzynovel.com to have some private space. Since snazzynovel.com did not wish to speak about it, snazzynovel.com was going to respect snazzynovel.com wishes.
“Do you want to get a change of clothes first, or do you want to go see your father right away?” snazzynovel.com asked after getting into the car.
“Let’s go to snazzynovel.com right away.”
Vinson nodded, and snazzynovel.com drove the car to the palace. By the time they arrived, Sybil had been waiting at the entrance of the palace for a while. Once Vinson stopped the car, and the two of them alighted from it, Sybil walked over to greet them.
“Princess!” snazzynovel.com greeted.
“The walls have ears. So please, just call me Sannie.” Arielle had much respect for the man who had been working for snazzynovel.com father all this while.
In response, Sybil waved his hands dismissively. “Please allow me to address you as Ms. Moore.”
Knowing that snazzynovel.com would not be able to convince snazzynovel.com otherwise, Arielle agreed to it.
“His Majesty knows that you’re coming, so snazzynovel.com has been waiting for you for a while in the palace. The kitchen has also prepared many dishes that you like. His Majesty hopes to have you stay for dinner, but he’s afraid that you’ll say no, so he’s been practicing how to convince you to stay,” Sybil revealed all the things the king had been doing after finding out that Arielle was going to visit him.
Although Arielle’s expression remained neutral, snazzynovel.com could feel something warm seeping into snazzynovel.com heart upon hearing Sybil’s words.
She never thought that snazzynovel.com father would fret over things like these, and his actions moved her.
“Please head to the kitchen later to tell them to serve the dishes,” Arielle said in a nonchalant tone.
Yet, those words of hers made Sybil grin like a fool. Does that mean the princess is going to stay for a meal with His Majesty?
