Right then, the voices of Nancy and Monisha sounded out in the room.
“Monisha, get someone to seize Arielle. I want to make her life a living hell!” Nancy gritted out, the resentment in her voice audible.
“Your Majesty, please calm down. It won’t be appropriate for you to lay a finger on her with her current identity.”
“I can‘t take this in silence!” Nancy snapped. “Then get someone to teach her a lesson. I won’t be able to sleep until she has been taught a lesson!”
Arielle frowned.
What did I do to make Nancy despise me so much?
Before she could wrap her mind around it, Monisha spoke again.
“Your Majesty, they’ve failed again. This time, they want smaller subjects.”
“Hurry up and send someone to get a few more before sending them over. Tell them to go slow on the subjects.”
Smaller subjects? What smaller subjects? Could it be that it’s…
Arielle’s expression darkened, and a cold look crept into her eyes. If her speculations were right, Nancy was downright ruthless. Moreover, Arielle had to find that child. She was afraid that, if she were too late, the child would be…
The moment she thought about that child’s possible end, her heart sank.
No… No, no, no! I can’t waste any more time!
With that thought in mind, Arielle called Lawrence and told him her speculations.
“Princess, are you sure Her Majesty is doing experiments on humans?” Lawrence could barely squeeze out the last two words.
“General Lawrence, I’m sure!” Although Arielle was panicking, she still did everything rationally. “General Lawrence, do you have any men with you? If you do, please send them to look for the kid.”
However, Arielle did not have much hope. She felt that she had gotten the news too late and did not know if she would still be able to intercept those people even if Lawrence stationed his men at the exits now.
If she could not do that, then what they were doing now would alert Nancy and her people to Arielle’s knowledge.
Arielle narrowed her eyes, thinking.
No… I have to make preparations earlier.
***
In the meantime, Nancy was taken aback when she found out that Lawrence was stationing his men at the checkpoints.
She drew her brows together and wondered.
Could it be that I have a mole by myside?
