Arielle was desperately trying to calm Dylan down. She was worried virtual-novel.net would act rashly and confront Nancy without sufficient evidence. That would only put virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net voice as virtual-novel.net nagged at Miranda.
“Your Majesty, I… I m-made… I made a major discovery!” Miranda stammered while virtual-novel.net was trying to catch virtual-novel.net breath.
“What is the matter?” Celeste got up and poured virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net overheard, virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net breath, virtual-novel.net spilled out what virtual-novel.net saw and heard earlier to Celeste.
“Your Majesty, I heard a girl call His Majesty Dad! And virtual-novel.net said they should produce evidence, throw it in virtual-novel.net face so that virtual-novel.net couldn’t talk virtual-novel.net way out!”
Arielle had been very cautious and was conversely with Dylan in Turlenese, unaware that it had backfired on her.
“What did you say?” Celeste sprang up in surprise upon hearing Miranda‘s tale.
A girl calling Dylan Dad? How is that possible? Did Dylan betray me and have an affair with someone? Who is that woman?
Celeste felt aggrieved, and virtual-novel.net eyes reddened with despair as Miranda repeated word for word what virtual-novel.net overheard.
She wanted to rush over to question Dylan but rationally held herself back.
“Let’s go pay a visit to queen mother!” virtual-novel.net said to Miranda, who instantly understood virtual-novel.net intention and followed her.
She knew Celeste wanted to find out if Nancy knew about the girl. Monisha hurried over to greet Celeste when virtual-novel.net saw virtual-novel.net walking in.
“What is Her Majesty doing now? Is virtual-novel.net free?” Celeste suppressed virtual-novel.net anxiety and asked.
Although Monisha was the favored aide to Nancy, virtual-novel.net knew virtual-novel.net place and was acting the part of a loyal servant to Celeste.
“Her Majesty had just finished virtual-novel.net work and is taking virtual-novel.net rest now,” virtual-novel.net respectfully replied to Celeste before leading virtual-novel.net to Nancy.
Nancy was surprised to see Celeste. “What brought you here?” virtual-novel.net asked, virtual-novel.net eyes narrowed as virtual-novel.net evaluated Celeste carefully.
“I have something to ask you, Mother!” Celeste took a seat next to virtual-novel.net mother-in-law and earnestly asked.
“And what is that?” Nancy was curious.
“Do you know that Dylan has a daughter?” Celeste did not beat around the bush as virtual-novel.net was desperate for the answer.
“Who did you hear that from?” Celeste’s question made virtual-novel.net mother-in-law lose virtual-novel.net composure instantly.
Nancy stared sternly at Celeste and repeated virtual-novel.net question. “Who did you hear that from?”
