"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting so long, Prince." Violet approached Aaron after just changing her clothes.
Violet was wearing a white shirt with a knee-length black span skirt. Her body no longer felt cold because she had cleaned herself briefly using warm water. Although she felt guilty for making Aaron wait too long.They were in a large house with luxurious decorations in every corner. Aaron sat on a large sofa with a cup of hot coffee on the table and a thick white towel wrapped around his shoulders. Her hair, which was starting to dry after a little rain, was still messy.Aaron rubbed his hair as he took the towel and held it. "So, what did you come here for?"Violet sat down slowly in a polite manner, facing Aaron. "Our purpose in seeking you out here is to ask you to return to Austar to be heir to the throne, Prince."Aaron looked at Violet with a cold glare in his eyes. "Heir to the throne? He needs me?"Violet nodded her head. "Yes, Prince." She spoke quietly and carefully, knowing the conflict between the king and the Prince of Austar. "Who else will look after Austar if not you, Prince? Austar has changed a lot now, and surely you must know that too, Prince."Aaron exhaled softly while picking up his coffee cup, still puffing hot smoke. "I'll think about it since I'd rather be here. I need some time to relax." He took a slow sip of his hot coffee.Violet nodded in understanding of him and Olson's sudden arrival in Aaron's presence. She could understand that. "Well, I understand, Prince." Violet opened her voice again with a different topic of conversation. "So, how is your wife doing? Miss Zara."Aaron stopped sipping his drink when he heard Zara's name come out of Violet's mouth. Of course, the first thing that went through Aaron's mind was how Violet knew this. Didn't that woman just come to the city of Mahataran?Seeing the look of confusion on Aaron's face, Violet quickly explained. "I'm sorry, Prince. I already know some information about you, including the information that Prince Aaron is married, and if this is your consideration for returning because you don't want to leave Miss Zara, of course, you can bring Miss Zara to live with you in the kingdom, Prince."Violet also learned other information about Aaron and Zara that Aaron had actually been helping Zara's work and secretly helping the Campbell family from behind with the assets that Aaron had brought with him when he escaped from the kingdom so that Zara and her family could be in the successful position they were in today. Aaron put his coffee cup on the table and casually replied to Violet's offer to bring Zara to Austar. "We're divorced. I even got kicked out with $500."Violet and Olson were surprised to hear Aaron's words. They were even more shocked to hear that Aaron had only $500 in his pocket. It was very little money for the Prince of Austar. Even their allowance was bigger than that. The looks on Olson and Violet's faces quickly seemed to turn into annoyance. "How can they treat you like this, Prince? They are gone too far." Olson commented in a rather high tone of voice.Violet's face turned red. She was distraught but had to maintain her manners in Aaron's presence. The blonde woman shook her head, her cheeks slightly puffed up with anger. "How rude of them. I will chastise Zara and punish her severely for mistreating you like this, Prince."Aaron raised one hand momentarily, then gave Violet a cold stare. "There's no need. I'm not in favor of that. I'd rather take it slow. And the reason I wanted to be here was purely to relax." Violet exhaled heavily at Aaron's words. She watched Aaron with a concerned look on her face. Violet felt that her Prince was very pitiful. "I will prepare everything well so that you can take revenge on them."Violet looked visibly excited, with her eyes sparkling. Her wet, wavy blonde hair moved slightly as Violet's head nodded confidently at her words. She was ready to avenge Zara for getting her Prince into trouble.Aaron watched the Violet in front of him intently. His light gray eyes searched Violet's face without skipping an inch. Violet had always been beautiful; now that she was older, she was even more beautiful with her long, wavy blonde hair. Aaron recognized that, especially during the rain. Violet looked absolutely stunning with her wet face and hair.Aaron fixed his sitting position quietly. "How about you become my woman?""What?" Violet was surprised to hear Aaron's offer. She was confused and thought that her Prince had turned into a strange person. In her heart, she said, "Did Prince Aaron hit his head on something, or could it be that he has turned into a pervert?" Violet shuddered slightly at the thought of those possibilities, so she adopted a vigilant stance with her eyes gazing cautiously at Aaron.Aaron could see a different vibe from Violet. "Take it easy, I'm not as bad as you think." He spoke as if he could read Violet's heart.Of course, that embarrassed Violet. She immediately bowed her head with her hands and played with the hem of her dress. "I'm sorry, Prince." She felt stupid for thinking badly of her Prince, which made her unconsciously show disrespectful behavior in front of Aaron.Aaron picked up his coffee cup, which was now getting cold. "I'm sure you're coming to this Mahataran city that is unknown to the people of Austar." He took a small sip of his drink and then looked at Violet confidently. "And I'm also pretty sure that no one knows you're my secretary." Violet smiled reluctantly as she fixed her hair behind her ear. "No one knows except Olson and, of course, our king, the Prince."Aaron nodded his head. It was exactly as he had expected. Of course, Violet wouldn't suddenly become Aaron's secretary without an order from the king. Aaron had already guessed that. He gulped down the remaining chocolate drink in the cup, then placed it on the table after thinking of something as the beginning of his revenge plan on Zara."That's good then. You just need to disguise yourself and become my woman." Aaron's words made Violet look confused. Aaron could read the look on Violet's face very clearly. "Soon, there will be a party held here and I want you to accompany me there."Violet nodded her head with a smile, beginning to understand Aaron's offer. "Yes, Prince. Of course, I will do that for you and prepare everything well." Her tone of voice sounded very excited, and she had a bright, cheerful look. "I will make you get what you want, Prince Aaron."A lavish party was in progress. It was a party thrown by Mr. Thane to celebrate the 70th birthday of the Wood family, a family famous in Mahataran city as the 4 dragons guarding Mahataran City. Of course, the people present there were not random people. Those present were people from respected and honorable families. A woman in an ankle-length maroon dress that accentuated her upper body was smiling happily, clinging to a man's arm in a matching suit. "Thank you, Jhony. For bringing me to such a luxurious party.""I'm also very grateful to you, my future son-in-law." Rozie, who was also invited by Jhony, expressed her pleasure. "Because of you, we can be in this place and make people who know us jealous."Jhony smiled at the compliments from Zara and Rozie. He stroked the back of Zara's hand on his arm. "Of course, you deserve to be at this party with me."Rozie looked happy. If only she could bring her cell phone to this party. Unfortunately, this party was private. Those who could
"What really happened?" Zara and a few others were asking the same question as Jhony.They were shocked by what Mr. Thane had just done in front of Aaron. All the invited guests knew very well how the Wood family was, a respected family that was highly respected by everyone. But Mr. Thane was respectful to a man whom not many knew. Mr. Thane raised his face again and looked at Aaron. He saw Aaron, who gave a code wink with a hand gesture that signaled that Aaron didn't want Mr. Thane to say anything about Aaron's true identity.Mr. Thane understood. He nodded slowly while holding the pen in his hand. "Thank you, prince, for coming to my very humble birthday."Mr. Thane looked delighted to receive the gift. Everyone there was surprised at Mr. Thane's seemingly respectful attitude towards Aaron. "Why is Mr. Thane being respectful to him?" That's what most people questioned.Mr. Thane could immediately tell Aaron's status from the gold engraving of the dragon crest on the tip of the pen
People who heard about it started speculating about it. "Apparently, they do have a relationship. That guy is definitely not a random guy.""Yes, he must also come from a respectable family. No wonder Lord Thane respects him" said another guest. They were talking with admiration. How could they not? The couple looked good together.However, it made Zara feel annoyed. She glared at Violet with her hands folded arrogantly. Zara looked at Violet sarcastically. "You should have found out about that guy first. He's nothing more than a useless man."Elegantly, Violet replied to Zara's words. "What do you mean? which guy are you talking about? I don't find any flaws in Aaron." Violet looked at Aaron with eyes that searched every inch of the man's face. "He's handsome, charismatic, reliable, and just plain awesome."The people there exclaimed in admiration. "If Miss Violet says so, it must be true. It's not strange that Miss Violet is side by side with him. They are indeed a perfect match."T
"Let go!" Zara threw her hands together with a slight push from the security guard dragging her out of the party building. "You guys have gone too far. You'll see. You'll pay for it."The guards let them go by slightly pushing their bodies away. Rozie winced in pain as the bracelet on her wrist pinched her skin. "Can't you guys be nice? That's rude. It's unethical.""Leave and don't try to come near this building again. You don't belong here. Disgraceful people." The officers waltzed away after belittling the three people in a loud voice. The guarding became tighter with the addition of security personnel near the entrance.Rozie raised her hand, pointing at the officers. "You're really heartless people. Can't you be gentle? You treat us like trash. What a shame!"Rozie held her sore arm. "Ah, they were really rude, hurting my hand." She clutched her bracelet frantically. "Oh, no. Look, my expensive bracelet is ruined because of them."Her jaw hardened as she stared into the distance
Aaron was eating his breakfast quietly—toast with salad and fruit juice made by Olson. Today, Violet didn't join Aaron for breakfast. Early in the morning, Violet had left to take care of something outside.Violet's appearance in Mahataran City was unknown to anyone, and no one knew if it was to meet with Aaron. The woman had spread false information that she would take care of a new business development here so that no one would suspect her of meeting the royal heir.After breakfast, Aaron looked at the morning scenery on his veranda while enjoying hot coffee. Aaron paused for a moment, then looked at Olson behind him.Olson immediately rushed over to Aaron with a respectful bow. "Is there anything I can do for you, Prince?""Prepare a car for me." Aaron placed his coffee cup on the table. "I want to go to the company to see how things are going."Just staying at home made his body a little uncomfortable. Being outside seemed to be a breath of fresh air,Olson nodded. "Yes, Prince. I
Aaron is a hard worker. He always takes his work seriously. That's why he has many skills. When he chose to be a cabinetmaker, he did well.He always made cabinets with details and also with suitable materials. That's why Rozie was often angry with her because the profit they received was negligible. She would talk about the many needs, such as buying groceries, housing Aaron here, or shopping.The cupboard Aaron made once sold for a thousand dollars. It was a decent price, even though it wasn't satisfying for Aaron. He asked Rozie to be patient because he had to organize the next sale. But the woman was impatient, so Aaron was forced to sell his cupboard. After the successful sale and he gave the money to Rozie, the woman would return to insult him, cursing and asking for more."I'll teach you a lesson!" This man in front of him was one of the problems Aaron often faced when he was in the life of a son-in-law.Because his cabinets were of good quality and sold more often than cabinet
The two black-clothed people who had stopped traveling earlier looked at each other. They had the duty to guard this place. Based on that duty, they could naturally take precautions. Especially there was an important meeting happening in this place. The meeting had many guests of high-status people. Given that the two people were unwilling to take the consequences, they might as well not work here."Sir, everyone who is in this place has an invitation. So you can't enter this place." a guard with a slightly shorter body than the other men spoke. He looked at Aaron and wanted the man to understand his words.Violet had set up the meeting in the company building to emphasize that she was serious about the business she would conduct, and she had not invited only a few people to reinforce what she wanted. So, the suspicions about her possibly meeting with their prince were not known by others, and her status as a secretary was also not known. Those in the kingdom of Austar knew her bet
It was a bold remark, too bold for a con artist to say. His neck veins tightened even more until it was obvious that Andy had been through hell, and he didn't think it was fair to him.A donkey-like squeal screamed out of his mouth when Aaron released his grip. "Kazal! You have to hold him!"Kazal stammered as he experienced a shocking situation for him. He set up a stance weakly to face the man in front of him. In his heart, he wished that if this man left immediately, then this matter would be over. "Sir... you should turn yourself in now for injuring a security guard here."Kazal's whole body was cold. He was sweating. This was completely against his instincts, but Andy's hand had suffered an injury that seemed so severe. He could not stand idly by and had to act.Maybe he would also get something dangerous on him like his hand had on Andy. Or his legs or his other limbs. He had so much on his mind that gulping down saliva was difficult. Coupled with the gust of wind that touched
