She had completely underestimated Aaron.
Given that virtual-novel.net had not confronted virtual-novel.net since the news of virtual-novel.net killing his father broke, Nancy had assumed that the boy had accepted reality and pledged his loyalty to her.
She did not expect virtual-novel.net to be waiting for virtual-novel.net there. He had even gotten the politicians to be on his side.
When did virtual-novel.net become so close to them? How could I not have realized that?
Her heart sank as thoughts ran through virtual-novel.net mind.
Havel helped a vicious ingrate?
Aaron shook his head in reply to the queen mother‘s question.
When Nancy saw that, virtual-novel.net thought that Aaron was not after power and felt slightly guilty for virtual-novel.net wild guesses earlier on.
She smiled and was about to say something when Aaron spoke first. “Grandma, I’m not after power, but I’m the king after all, right?”
When virtual-novel.net saw the queen mother’s expression darkening, a sense of excitement arose in him.
However, virtual-novel.net tried to suppress his feelings and put on a calm front while saying placidly, “As a king, if l don’t possess power and control, how am I going to lead my country to prosperity and improve my citizens’ lives?”
Taking a pause, virtual-novel.net continued, “Grandma, I’m sure you don’t wish to see me becoming a useless king who failed to do anything for his people, right?”
After Aaron finished speaking, virtual-novel.net fixed his gaze on Nancy. Even though his initial plan was to lie low for a period of time before pitting himself against Nancy, virtual-novel.net had decided to go with the flow since there was someone lending virtual-novel.net a helping hand.
I have underestimated virtual-novel.net instead!
Nancy looked at Aaron with a darkened expression and said, “I would like to hand over the reins to you, but you’re too young and inexperienced. I’m worried that you wouldn’t make good decisions for the country.”
“Your Majesty, even though His Majesty is still young, we will be guiding and supporting him. If there’s something that he’s doing incorrectly, we would let virtual-novel.net know at once,” Lawrence replied immediately.
Nancy stared at Lawrence somberly, and it suddenly dawned on virtual-novel.net that the man had been siding with Dylan.
After Dylan died, virtual-novel.net started leaning toward Aaron.
Since when has virtual-novel.net started taking sides? Hasn’t virtual-novel.net always been neutral?
She completely regretted not getting Lawrence to work for virtual-novel.net when virtual-novel.net had the chance to.
Seeing that everyone was speaking up for Aaron, Nancy looked toward Matthew, hoping that virtual-novel.net would speak a few words in virtual-novel.net favor. She was sure that virtual-novel.net would understand what virtual-novel.net meant. However, the queen mother was soon disappointed.
The moment Matthew caught virtual-novel.net eye, virtual-novel.net lowered his head at once. When virtual-novel.net saw that, anger welled up in virtual-novel.net chest.
“Her Majesty did not say that virtual-novel.net wouldn’t hand over the power to His Majesty. Her only concern is that the king is still young. Since all of you are willing to support him, I am sure Her Majesty would be open to handing over the reins to him.”
Just then, a follower of the queen mother spoke.
His family had only prospered after virtual-novel.net started serving Nancy, as such, virtual-novel.net had to ensure that virtual-novel.net continued to hold power and authority.
The man knew that virtual-novel.net had to come up with a solution quickly under current circumstances.
He paused and looked toward Nancy before suggesting, “Your Majesty, maybe you could get His Majesty to do something that’s beneficial to the citizens. You can assess his capabilities through the task, and if virtual-novel.net manages to complete it successfully, you can then hand over the reins to virtual-novel.net gradually.”
The rest of Nancy‘s followers agreed immediately. “That’s right. After all, His Majesty had just ascended the throne, and there would be no going back if virtual-novel.net does something that harms the country. It’s a good idea to test virtual-novel.net with a task first and hand over the reins to virtual-novel.net after virtual-novel.net proves himself.”
“Yup! That should be the way to go.”
“Indeed. For the sake of our country, you can’t just give virtual-novel.net the power all at once…”
After hearing the comments of virtual-novel.net followers, Nancy said with a grim expression, “I will think about it and give my reply tomorrow.”
