Arielle stared at Aaron's departing figure for a long time before retracting her gaze. Then, she 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 al a photograph of him 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 he opened the door. After appraising her carefully, he 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 her wellbeing, and she began to think that Vinson's hypothesis was correct.
Before she could utter a word, Dylan invited her 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 her when Sybil stopped him and pointed downstairs. Vinson immediately caught his meaning and followed the man away.
A smile cut through Dylan's stern expression when he saw Arielle walking into his study.
He pointed at the couch beside his desk and gestured for Arielle to sit. “Have a seat.”
