Chapter 1366
Arielle Moore and Vinson Nightshire
Chapter 1366 Be Her Guide âWho are you looking for?â Arielle asked the strangers in Ustranasion. We are the only residents here.
Did they come looking for us?
At that moment, Dylan was so touched that he could barely speak in coherent sentences. The sound of his daughterâs voice rendered him speechless. Dylanâs silence prompted Sybil to step forward and snap Dylan out of his daze.
âI-I came here to look for you. Thank you for traveling all the way here to teach us your medicinal skills,â Dylan stuttered as he tampered down his excitement.
âItâs my pleasure.â Dylanâs Ustranasion reply and understanding caught Arielle by surprise. Deep down, she couldnât help but feel slightly guilty. After all, searching for her father was the true reason she came here. Instead, she used teaching as an excuse to cover up the truth.
Nevertheless, Arielle was determined to make the most of her time here and teach them to the best of her abilities. Itâd be up to them to learn as much as they could from her.
Suddenly, Dylan thought of how Arielle had opened the door before he knocked and asked, âWere you planning to head out?â
âTurlen is sealed off from the outside world. Now that Iâm here, I plan on immersing myself in its culture.
This way, I wonât have any lingering regrets when I leave.â Arielle glanced at Dylan as she spoke.
Somehow, she found him strangely familiar. It felt as if theyâd met before.
Upon hearing Arielleâs explanation, Dylan couldnât help but rejoice in his decision to come looking for her.
âMay I have the honor of being your guide?â he asked her with a hopeful look.
Dylan was dying to spend more time with Arielle. Since such an opportunity had presented itself to him, he seized it without a second thought.
Sybil panicked when he overheard Dylanâs offer. It will spell trouble for His Majesty and Princess if the queen mother and Her Majesty find out.
But when Sybil caught sight of Dylanâs hopeful and eager gaze, he couldnât bring himself to quash the latterâs hopes. Oh well, Iâll let His Majesty be.
On the other hand, Arielle was taken aback by Dylanâs offer. He wants to be my guide?
For a few moments, Arielle mulled over her thoughts. Wait a minute; it wouldnât hurt to have a guide with me. After all, Iâm not too familiar with this place. Itâd be great to have a translator by my side in the event that I donât understand Ustranasion. Yet, he looks like someone from a high ranking. Wouldnât it be a waste of his time if he became my guide?
âIf you have nothing else occupying you at the moment, itâd be great to have you as my guide,â Arielle replied with a warm smile.
When Dylan first suggested the idea of being Arielleâs guide, he couldnât help but feel anxious. To her, I must be nothing but a random stranger. I wouldnât be surprised if she rejected me.
Unexpectedly, Arielle agreed. Her simple reply sent Dylan over the moon. The happiness he first experienced when he gained power in Turlen paled in comparison to the giddiness that Dylan was feeling right then.
âAre you heading out alone? Or will you be accompanied by your parents?â Truthfully, Dylan wanted to spend some alone time with Arielle. This way, he could strengthen their bond as father and daughter. In the future, Arielle would be less likely to shun him if their relationship came to light.
Despite Dylanâs wishes, he was afraid that the queen mother and Her Majesty might find out about their exchange. My own desires are not worth the risk of having our relationship exposed. Itâd be best if her parents tagged along. Their presence would dispel any suspicion that people might have towards us.
The corners of Arielleâs lips upturned into a smile. How could I possibly have fun alone and abandon my parents, who accompanied me here to Turlen?
