was no sign of Vinson and Arielle.
Aaron was overwhelmed with despair. He had not been able to sleep well as he was busy handling national affairs
and keeping a watchful eye on the rescue operation.
Celeste was so worried about her son that she decided to leave the palace to meet him. Her heart sank when she
saw how frail and skinny Aaron had become.
“It has been a week, Aaron. Arielle and Vinson might have…”
Before Celeste could finish her sentence, she noticed Aaron had turned around and glared at her. “Don’t utter
those inauspicious words, Mother. Don’t make wild guesses.”
He gritted his teeth and emphasized those last four words, as he refused to believe Arielle and Vinson were dead.
Celeste did not want to think they had perished in the incident either, but she did not believe the couple could

Nonetheless, Celeste was still worried about his health since he had not had enough rest during this period.
“I understand you’re worried about them, Aaron, but you have to take care of yourself too. What if you fall ill, and

do.”
The person standing in front of him started sweating buckets. “I’ll try my best, Mr. Rhaylie…”
The man narrowed his eyes and responded with a deep grunt. After putting his phone aside, he tapped his index

He picked up his phone once again and dialed a number.
