Chapter 1426

He Has Guts

Vinson’s gaze darkened. It looks like he’s really not my father-in-law. I need to switch up my strategy to
locate him.

As the thought crossed Vinson’s mind, he saw Dylan was about to speak when Arielle’s voice rang out.

“Your Majesty, he’s quite skilled in combat. Do you think he could stay to protect me?”

Dylan had not expected to hear that suggestion from her. But it does make sense. After all, her life is
under threat. Now that she has met someone who can protect her in critical situations, it’s
understandable that she’d want to hire him as a bodyguard.

Moreover, he had already heard of what happened to the bodyguards, and he was alarmed to hear
how badly injured they were. I probably wouldn’t have had the chance to see my precious daughter
again if it weren’t for this young man’s help. I’m worried for her safety. We haven’t caught the culprits
yet, and they failed in their mission. Hence, it’s likely that there’ll be another attempt on her life. I won’t
let anyone harm her again, not even a single hair on her head. It seems that it’s indeed time to get her
a better bodyguard.

Dylan’s gaze shifted to Vinson subconsciously, and he asked, “What’s your name?”

“My surname is Knightley,” Vinson replied, changing it from ‘Nightshire’ to ‘Knightley.’

“What do you work as? How did you become so skilled?”

Arielle furrowed her brows as she glanced toward Vinson. She had come up with the plan of letting
Vinson become her bodyguard at the last minute. Hence, they had not discussed anything beforehand,
and she did not know how Vinson would handle Dylan’s questions.



Vinson looked at Dylan and replied in an apologetic tone, “My apologies, but I’m afraid I can’t answer
that.”

I haven’t gotten everything in order yet. If I make up an answer recklessly, what’ll happen if the king
sends someone to look into it? The best solution is to reveal nothing. That way, he won’t have any
clues to help him dig up any information about me.

Dylan was stunned. I’m the king, yet he dares to talk to me in that manner.

Pretending to be enraged, he fixed Vinson with a stern glare and said, “You know who I am, but you still
dare to talk to me like that?”

Vinson raised his eyebrows. “Everyone has their secrets. Moreover, you’re not a tyrant. Why wouldn’t I
dare to talk to you like that?”

Dylan was secretly a little pleased when he heard that. Not bad. He has guts!

Gazing at Vinson, he said in a sincere tone, “I’m truly grateful to you for saving Ms. Moore from such a
dangerous situation. Unfortunately, the danger hasn’t passed. Since you’re a skilled fighter, I wonder if I
could hire you as Ms. Moore’s bodyguard for the time being.”

“That’s…” Vinson turned to glance at Arielle, a torn look on his face. “I still have some business to
attend to, so I’m temporarily —”

Without waiting for Vinson to finish his sentence, Dylan cut in and said, “I’m willing to hire you at three
times your current salary.”

Arielle also looked up at Vinson. Well, well… He puts on quite a convincing act. Even though he
desperately wants to be my bodyguard, he’s acting as if it’s an imposition.



“Mr. Knightley, I’m sure you know I’m a doctor and that your king specially invited me here. Turlen lacks
medical practitioners, so I’m here to impart my knowledge. But you can see for yourself the
predicament I’m in. I’d feel much more at ease with you by my side to protect me,” said Arielle while
looking at Vinson with an earnest expression.

Vinson’s eyes flitted to Arielle imperceptibly. I wouldn’t have expected anything less from my wife.
She’s on the same page as me and has a tacit understanding of my actions. If I agree too quickly, I
might arouse the king’s suspicions. After all, I’m only a stranger in his eyes. But if I pretend to hesitate
and the king is serious about hiring me, it’d work more to my advantage.
