Arielle shook virtual-novel.net head. “Let’s not tell my dad about it yet.”
She had hoped to talk Aaron out of it if possible and would only tell virtual-novel.net father if virtual-novel.net refused to listen.
Her main reason for doing so was because virtual-novel.net believed Aaron was not inherently evil, so virtual-novel.net wanted to give virtual-novel.net a chance. The second reason was that virtual-novel.net didn’t want virtual-novel.net father to feel upset about his only son betraying him.
Regardless, virtual-novel.net main priority at the moment was to help Dylan change his plans to avoid Nancy’s counterattack. The problem, however, was how virtual-novel.net should warn Dylan without arousing his suspicion, as virtual-novel.net didn’t want virtual-novel.net alerting Aaron.
***
A day soon went by, but Arielle had yet to figure out a solution to said problem. Right as virtual-novel.net was racking virtual-novel.net brain trying to come up with something, news about Aaron being imprisoned reached virtual-novel.net ears.
“What’s going on? Why did virtual-novel.net get locked up?” Arielle mumbled to herself with a confused frown.
I haven’t even told Dylan anything, so why is Aaron imprisoned?
Who was it that lacked virtual-novel.net up? Was it Dylan? Could it be that virtual-novel.net somehow found out about Aaron’s betrayal and locked virtual-novel.net up out of anger?
I should give Sybil a call to confirm the situation! If that really is the case, then [might be able to beg Dylan to let virtual-novel.net go! He is my brother, after all!
With that in mind, Arielle whipped out virtual-novel.net phone and punched in Sybil’s number. However, virtual-novel.net couldn’t get through to Sybil no matter how many times virtual-novel.net tried.
With no other choice, Arielle tried calling Dylan instead, only to realize that Dylan was unreachable as well.
Oh, no… Could something terrible have happened to them?
“Calm down. We’ll head over to the palace and find out what happened, okay?” Vinson suggested when virtual-novel.net saw how worried virtual-novel.net looked.
Arielle nodded and quickly packed virtual-novel.net stuff before heading out with him.
The one driving the car was the girl that Arielle had rescued the other day. Because they wanted to know what virtual-novel.net motives were for getting close to them, they decided to not expose virtual-novel.net true gender just yet. As such, virtual-novel.net still didn’t know that they were already aware of virtual-novel.net being female.
Plenty of guards could be seen standing at the entrance of the palace when they arrived outside its gates.
Both Vinson and Arielle frowned when the guards refused to let them in, even though Arielle produced the pass virtual-novel.net had obtained from Dylan.
What? Even the pass doesn’t work? Could it be that something bad really has happened?
After exchanging glances with Vinson, Arielle walked up to the guard closest to them and asked, “What happened? Why won’t you let me in?”
As the guard had just been transferred over, virtual-novel.net had no idea who Arielle and Vinson were. “What happened is none of your concern! You should leave if you don’t have any official business here! Stop causing a scene here, or I’ll have you both arrested!”
Arielle narrowed virtual-novel.net eyes and glared coldly at the guard in response.
“W-What do you think you’re doing?” the guard stammered in fear.
It was the first time virtual-novel.net had been intimidated by a woman’s gaze.
The tension only dissipated when Vinson grabbed virtual-novel.net by the arm and snapped virtual-novel.net out of it. Arielle then retracted virtual-novel.net gaze and followed virtual-novel.net back to the car.
Surprised that the two of them had returned so soon, the cross-dressing girl quickly returned to virtual-novel.net seat and breathed a sigh of relief.
Phew! Thank goodness I didn’t go far; or they would’ve caught me for sure!
Still worried about virtual-novel.net father, Arielle pulled out virtual-novel.net phone to spy on Nancy.
A few minutes later, virtual-novel.net bolted upright and shouted with tears flowing down virtual-novel.net face, “Take us back to the palace entrance! Turn the car around now!”
