Arielle stared at Aaron’s departing figure for a long time before retracting favonovel.com gaze. Then, favonovel.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 favonovel.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 favonovel.com opened the door. After appraising favonovel.com carefully, favonovel.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 favonovel.com wellbeing, and favonovel.com began to think that Vinson’s hypothesis was correct. Before favonovel.com could utter a word, Dylan invited favonovel.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 favonovel.com when Sybil stopped favonovel.com and pointed downstairs. Vinson immediately caught his meaning and followed the man away.
A smile cut through Dylan’s stern expression when favonovel.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 favonovel.com was alone with Arielle.
She was about to reject his offer when favonovel.com remembered favonovel.com motives for visiting him. She changed favonovel.com mind and smiled at favonovel.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, favonovel.com thought of doing something else. He smiled at Arielle and said, “Wait here for a while. I’ll prepare it for you.”
Then, favonovel.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 favonovel.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 favonovel.com was surprised that favonovel.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, favonovel.com came up empty-handed.
Are my guesses wrong?
She was questioning favonovel.com assumptions when Dylan returned. He seemed shocked to see favonovel.com lingering around his desk.
Arielle reacted as though favonovel.com was caught red-handed, and favonovel.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 favonovel.com request, only to regret his decision immediately when Arielle picked up the book. In his haste earlier, favonovel.com had stuffed the photograph of favonovel.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 favonovel.com sees it, I’m sure she’ll only wonder why I have Maureen’s photograph.
