Arielle was desperately trying to calm Dylan down. She was worried he would act rashly and confront Nancy without sufficient evidence. That would only put him in grave danger.
Dylan took a deep breath, calmed down, and asked, “How much evidence have you gotten?”
Arielle looked around cautiously and said, “Let's go back and discuss this later, Dad.”
They were out in the open, and she was worried someone would overhear them.
Dylan took a hard look in the direction of his mother's palace and begrudgingly turned to head back with Arielle, causing her to heave a sigh of relief.
In the meantime, the person who had sneaked away after eavesdropping on Dylan and Arielle was running back to Celeste’s palace.
“Your Majesty! Your Majesty...”
Celeste frowned when she saw Miranda rushing toward her, panting heavily.
“Have you forgotten your age? Why are you still so rash?” There was no hint of anger in her voice as she nagged at Miranda.
“Your Majesty, l-I... m-made... a major discovery!” Miranda stammered while she was trying to catch her breath.
“What is the matter?” Celeste got up and poured her a drink, then added, “Take a drink and catch your breath first. You can take your time to tell me what happened.”
Although Miranda was in a hurry to tell Celeste what she overheard, she was too breathless to even finish a proper sentence.
She gratefully took the glass of water from Celeste and finished it in a gulp.
After regaining her breath, she spilled out what she saw and heard earlier to Celeste.
“Your Majesty, I heard a girl call His Majesty Dad! And she said they should produce evidence, throw it in her face so that she couldn't talk her way out!"
