The girl was about to do as instructed, but Vinson stopped virtual-novel.net by grabbing the steering wheel.
“Stop the car! Stop the car, d*mn it! I need to get off now!”
Seeing as Vinson wasn’t going to let the girl pull over, Arielle reached for the door handle and prepared to jump out of the car.
Vinson quickly pulled virtual-novel.net into his arms and asked worriedly, “What’s gotten into you, Sannie? Tell me what the problem is, and we’ll solve it together.”
“Vinson, my dad is gone… I have no father now…” Arielle sobbed while pounding against his chest.
His shirt was soon wet from virtual-novel.net tears that refused to stop.
“W-What do you mean?” Vinson asked.
“My dad is dead… He’s dead, you hear me? I have no father anymore…” Arielle sobbed in despair.
I just reunited with my dad a while back, so why is he…
“Vinson, I need to go to the palace and find out how my dad died!” virtual-novel.net muttered angrily while wiping virtual-novel.net tears dry.
Despite being caught off guard by Dylan’s death, Vinson managed to remain calm and stopped Arielle when virtual-novel.net heard what virtual-novel.net said.
“Calm down, Sannie! I know Dylan’s death is incredibly suspicious, but the palace entrance is swarming with guards right now. There’s nothing we can do even if we head there now.”
Arielle, on the other hand, was so shaken up by the news of Dylan’s death that virtual-novel.net couldn’t possibly remain calm.
“That’s my dad, Vinson! He’s my biological father! Would you be able to remain calm if it were your mom that died instead?” virtual-novel.net lashed out at virtual-novel.net without even thinking about how hurtful that was.
Vinson didn’t hold it against virtual-novel.net as virtual-novel.net knew virtual-novel.net wasn’t thinking straight at the time. “Even if that day does come, I’d still remain calm. It’s the only way I’d be able to find out who the murderer is.”
“I’m sorry, Vinson. I…”
“I understand, so there’s no need to apologize.” Vinson gently patted virtual-novel.net on the back while virtual-novel.net bawled virtual-novel.net eyes out in his embrace.
Feeling a lot better after crying, Arielle glanced at virtual-novel.net with reddened eyes as virtual-novel.net said, “You heard it too. The queen mother said virtual-novel.net locked Aaron up because virtual-novel.net killed my dad, but I don’t believe her! Aaron may have betrayed my dad by taking virtual-novel.net side, but he’d never kill him!”
I’ve known Aaron for a really long time, so I know he’s not the one who killed my dad. But, why would the queen mother imprison Aaron if virtual-novel.net didn’t do it?
Who could ‘ve possibly killed my dad? Could the killer be the queen mother herself? No, that can’t be right!
As cruel as virtual-novel.net may be, there’s no way she’d actually murder virtual-novel.net only son! Who could ‘ve done it?
All sorts of questions raced through Arielle’s mind as virtual-novel.net tried to make sense of the situation.

Meanwhile, the look on Nancy’s face changed the moment virtual-novel.net heard virtual-novel.net secretary’s report.
“She’s a spy from an enemy country! I want virtual-novel.net taken care of immediately!” virtual-novel.net ordered coldly with virtual-novel.net fists tightly clenched.
