The palace guard noticed Alexander and quickly straightened up to bow.

“Your Highness!”

Carmella took a pause before she slowly opened her resting eyes. Alexander was already standing before her with

hands on his sides as he greeted her respectfully, “Good morning, Auntie.”

“It’s not morning anymore.” Carmella smiled. “I heard you young people like having, what’s it called… brunch? Hah,

I have some light food with me here. Treat it as brunch. Come have something to eat!”

“Thank you, Auntie. I’m not hungry.” Alexander quietly looked around with an alert expression but did not see

Aurelia at all.

“Alexander, what are you looking for?”

“Nothing…”

“Are you looking for someone?”

Alexander froze and hesitated for a moment before he replied honestly, “I heard that you asked Aurelia over. I

have a few robes that I need her help with too. I wonder if she’s done with you here.”

“She is.” Carmella took a sip of tea nonchalantly. “But I’ve already sent her back.”

“Sent her back?”

Alexander frowned and estimated the time. When he recorded the video outside of the hall, Aurelia was still

speaking. He then sent the video to Neil, and even if the corner in the garden was relatively isolated, it only took

him a little more than ten minutes to leave and return.

Could Carmella make someone vanish into thin air in that short amount of time?

Alexander’s heart pounded.

He never had a mother. It was Carmella who had raised him and his sister. The significance of his uncle and aunt

was far greater than his birth parents.

He knew that Carmella overestimated herself sometimes, was too arrogant, and thought too highly of herself. She

was the queen of the country, so it was inevitable that she had some quirks of temper.

Despite that, Alexander had always thought that Carmella was kind… at least not to the extent of taking the

initiative to harm someone!

His hands balled up into fists, shaking slightly.

His voice was not loud, but it was clear. “Auntie, forgive me for being rude… I saw Aurelia here earlier, and when I

came back the way I left, I didn’t see her walking out!”

“What do you mean?” Carmella squinted. “Are you saying that I’ve locked her up?”

Alexander lowered his head. “I didn’t say that, but it’s bizarre that she’s gone in a little over ten minutes. And I’m

worried that Mr. Harris won’t let this go. Based on how General Harris dotes on him, he might seek an explanation

for his son.”

“Shut it!” Carmella slammed a hand on the couch armrest with a fierce look. “Are you trying to intimidate me with

Noah Harris?

“Noah is only a general no matter how much authority he has over the military. We’re the royal family. What sense

does it make to be scared of him?”

Alexander looked at her. “Noah Harris is indeed just a general, but it’s also true that he has power over the military.

Hundreds of thousands of troops in Southeast Aciatic listen to his orders! What does the royal family have aside

from a title?”

He chuckled with a tinge of self-depreciation. “Auntie, you’re well aware of it… An upset Neil is an upset Southeast

Aciatic military! Why would you fight him when you want so much to secure the royal family’s influence?”

Carmella scowled.

These words hit her sore spot. This was also the reason she disliked Alexander. The boy had too good a head on his

shoulders. He had such a penetrating perception of things that he was hard to control.

However, there was one thing Alexander was wrong about. She had indeed let Aurelia leave!

When Aurelia rejected the money and passport, she knew the method could not work. She considered a more

indirect way to eliminate the girl.

Hence, no matter how foolish she was, she would not lay a finger on Aurelia, given the broad daylight and how

transparent the palace was!

“Alexander, are you questioning me when you use this tone on me?”

“I dare not, Auntie. I’m just reminding you.”

“I really don’t know where the girl went!” Carmella was flustered. “She didn’t know how to patch those garments

up, so I let her leave.

“Every word I say is true.” She stared at Alexander. “Do you want me to swear by it?”

Alexander paused.

Southeast Aciatic was a religious country, and swearing to the gods was serious. Once one had sworn, one would

not dare to break it.

Carmella would not joke with something like this.
