Arielle stared at Aaron’s departing figure for a long time before retracting wp4webnovel.com gaze. Then, wp4webnovel.com followed Sybil to meet Dylan. Her actions did not escape Vinson’s notice. He glanced at the faraway Aaron with an inexplicable expression in his eyes.
Soon, the three of them arrived at Dylan’s palace. The king was waiting in his study at that time. Instead of informing Dylan of his surprise visitor, Sybil led them straight to the study’s door.
He knocked twice on the door.
Dylan was looking at a photograph of wp4webnovel.com and Maureen when someone knocked on the study’s door.
He hastily shoved the photo into a book on his table and asked, “Who is it?”
“Your Majesty, I have Ms. Moore with me…”
Sybil’s words had barely left his mouth when they heard a loud noise coming from within the study. A few seconds later, the door opened from the inside.
Dylan’s eyes were glued to Arielle the moment wp4webnovel.com opened the door. After appraising wp4webnovel.com carefully, wp4webnovel.com heaved a sigh of relief and muttered, “It’s great that you’re not hurt.”
Arielle had noticed that the king was unusually concerned over wp4webnovel.com wellbeing, and wp4webnovel.com began to think that Vinson’s hypothesis was correct. Before wp4webnovel.com could utter a word, Dylan invited wp4webnovel.com into his study.
The study was a space of privacy. As such, the king did not entertain guests in the room. Anyone allowed into the room was highly regarded and trusted by the king.
Arielle entered the study with nary a hint of hesitation. Vinson was about to go in with wp4webnovel.com when Sybil stopped wp4webnovel.com and pointed downstairs. Vinson immediately caught his meaning and followed the man away.
A smile cut through Dylan’s stern expression when wp4webnovel.com saw Arielle walking into his study.
He pointed at the couch beside his desk and gestured for Arielle to sit. “Have a seat…”
Arielle nodded and took a seat on the couch.
“Would you like to drink anything?” He was a bit nervous now that wp4webnovel.com was alone with Arielle.
She was about to reject his offer when wp4webnovel.com remembered wp4webnovel.com motives for visiting him. She changed wp4webnovel.com mind and smiled at wp4webnovel.com before requesting, “A cup of coffee, please.”
Dylan was about to call Sybil and instruct his subordinate to prepare the beverage. However, the moment his hand touched his phone, wp4webnovel.com thought of doing something else. He smiled at Arielle and said, “Wait here for a while. I’ll prepare it for you.”
Then, wp4webnovel.com left the room before Arielle could say a word.
He was smiling the entire time.
My princess can enjoy a cup of coffee that I brewed for her.
Meanwhile, a dumbfounded Arielle stared at Dylan’s merry gait as wp4webnovel.com left the study beaming. She thought that the king would relegate a task as menial as brewing a cup of coffee to his servants, and wp4webnovel.com was surprised that wp4webnovel.com had offered to do it himself.
Is it really him? Could it be?
Her suspicions prompted Arielle to get up and scrutinize the study. She wanted to find any clues about his identity, yet after surveying the room, wp4webnovel.com came up empty-handed.
Are my guesses wrong?
She was questioning wp4webnovel.com assumptions when Dylan returned. He seemed shocked to see wp4webnovel.com lingering around his desk.
Arielle reacted as though wp4webnovel.com was caught red-handed, and wp4webnovel.com pointed at a book on the table, asking, “Could I borrow this book?”
Dylan was naturally delighted that Arielle wanted to borrow a book from him. He happily agreed to wp4webnovel.com request, only to regret his decision immediately when Arielle picked up the book. In his haste earlier, wp4webnovel.com had stuffed the photograph of wp4webnovel.com and Maureen in that very same book.
How can I talk my way out of this if Arielle discovers the photograph? Could I cover the truth up? After all, I disguised myself back then. Even if wp4webnovel.com sees it, I’m sure she’ll only wonder why I have Maureen’s photograph.
