Chapter 1425 Someone Wants Me Dead
Dylan did not know what was running through Arielle’s mind. Spotting the white bandage around her arm, he asked
with a pained look in his eyes, “How did you get hurt?”
Recalling how the four assassins had attacked her, Arielle answered coldly, “Someone wants me dead.”
“What?” Dylan widened his eyes in astonishment. She’s here as an esteemed guest at my invitation. Who would
dare to target her?
“I don’t know who wants to kill me, but if it weren’t for the bodyguards and this passerby, I’d probably be dead by
now.” Arielle glanced toward Vinson as she spoke. He was the passerby she was referring to.
Just moments earlier, Arielle had thought of a plan that would allow Vinson to stay by her side.
Dylan’s expression darkened. I don’t care who it was. I won’t let anyone who dares to lay a hand on her get away

“Don’t worry, Ms. Moore. I’ll find the culprits as soon as possible,” he declared solemnly, concealing how upset he
felt.
There’s no way I’ll spare the lives of those responsible for this.
Arielle gazed at him and said, “It’s important to capture the culprits, but it’s even more important to find out who
was the mastermind behind the incident.”
She was curious to know who she had angered to the point that the person actually sent assassins to kill her.
“Absolutely,” Dylan replied with a nod.
Even if she hadn’t mentioned it, I would’ve made sure to investigate the matter. The woman I loved the most gave
birth to her. She’s my daughter and my most beloved little princess. How dare someone try to assassinate her
under my watch? Whatever it is, I have to give her an explanation.
Meanwhile, Vinson had been quietly observing Dylan ever since Arielle greeted the latter with “Your Majesty.” Xavier
said there’s only one person named Dylan, and that’s the king. Arielle also enquired about the man in the photo and
learned that he looked nothing like the king when he was twenty years younger. We suspected that Arielle’s father
went under the alias Dylan to date Maureen. That was our guess at the time. But I’ve just realized that the king
seems overly concerned about Arielle.
After hearing Arielle mention that a passerby had saved her, Dylan’s gaze fell upon Vinson as Arielle pointed toward
him. He gazed Vinson up and down, studying him carefully.
He looks like an average person on the surface, but he has a unique air about him that contradicts that impression.
Nonetheless, I’m truly grateful to this passerby for saving her. If he hadn’t stepped in to help, the consequences
would’ve been disastrous.

He walked over to Vinson and patted the latter’s shoulder. “Young man, you’ve done a heroic deed today. Tell me,
what is it that your heart desires? As long as it’s within my power, I’ll grant you anything you ask.”
When speaking to Dylan, Arielle would subconsciously use Ustranasion because that was what she had used during
their very first encounter.
And since Dylan also spoke to Arielle in Ustranasion, he used the same language when speaking to Vinson without
even thinking about it.
Quietly withdrawing his scrutinizing gaze toward Dylan, Vinson looked at the latter and answered calmly, “It was no
big deal, Your Majesty. There’s no need to reward me.”
A hint of a smile appeared on Dylan’s stern face when he saw how humble Vinson was. “It isn’t no big deal. Ms.
Moore is someone extremely important to me. Saving her life is just like saving mine. Just go ahead and tell me
what you want.”
Although Dylan emphasized the word “extremely,” Vinson’s attention was caught by another sentence.
Saving Arielle’s life is just like saving His Majesty’s life? He shot a discreet glance at Dylan.
He looks different from that man in the photo indeed. Even if his appearance were to change over twenty, thirty, or
even forty years, there would still be some resemblance.
