HE'S NOT HUMAN
CHAPTER 27
Bella was awake when a burly arm hugged her waist tightly, someone behind her body lying down and hugging her. Bella is about to wake up and be angry that Arro is not coming back as promised. But, that burly hand restrained Bella's movements. “Arro?” mumbling Bella.
Arro did not reply, he buried his head in that embrace, inhaling in Bella's very intoxicating scent for him. Arro still can't receive all the information from Adena.
Bella who felt the tremors of Arro's grieving body and his tightly held hands, Bella understood that things were not going according to Arro's plan. “Is everything okay?”
Arro did not reply, he took a deep breath before saying, “Bella, I love you.”
Bella smiled as she took Arro's fingers and linked with her fingers. “I know. I love you too.”
Arro then flips Bella's body to face him, a water circle falls from the corner of Arro's eye. “Marry me tomorrow. I beg.”
Bella was surprised to see Arro with her tears there. Never had he seen Arro this weak. “Iya, we'll get married tomorrow,” said Bella pulling Arro into her arms. Bella wants to calm Arro down from whatever is bothering him.
The next day, Bella wakes up without Arro beside her. But, Jasmine was already there while holding a bunch of pretty flowers. Jasmine who realized Bella had woken up immediately approached Bella.
“Bella, the ceremony will be held in two hours. There's still a lot we have to prepare.”
Bella was a little confused by Jasmine's remark, ceremony? Ah, true. Last night Arro proposed to her and today he promised to get married. Bella thinks Arro didn't mean it. Bella's face was red, she still did not believe she would get married within two hours.
“Oh and this is a bouquet of flowers from His Majesty Arro. He said, happy birthday to the bride,” said Jasmine while mimicking Arro's heavy voice.
Bella chuckles at Jasmine's behavior. Bella receives the flower and then breathes fresh air in the flower. The smell is sweet, Bella likes it. After putting the flower next to the nightstand, he immediately rolled his hair up and said, “so, what should I do?”
Jasmine smiled happily, then she clapped her hands twice. From the direction of the door, four young women in simpler clothes walked in and saluted Bella.
“They are palace servants from the Main Kingdom. Her Highness Arro is calling them to help with the bride's preparations,” explained Jasmine.
“Our cordial greetings to the Queen,” they said simultaneously.
Bella was a little surprised by those words. He's still not used to it. “Ha-hai .. I'm Bella.”
“Queen Bella.” Jasmine Correction.
“I-iya I mean like that.” Bella then rubbed her nape because she was a little uncomfortable.
“Alright, bring in the Queen's wedding dress.”
One of the four young women came out and re-entered with a luxurious bone-white dress. On the front of the dress was decorated with glittering gems that hung and crept into a magnificent but not excessive pattern. While behind it is left open, which will display the beautiful back of the wearer.
Bella could not hide her surprise. His mouth was wide open. Since when did Arro prepare that fancy dress.
“Nona Bella, please come with me to clean yourself.”
Bella according. It will take more than two hours to prepare.
...----------------...
Jasmine takes Bella to the park where she gets her memories. The park has been decorated as beautifully as possible to be a place of blessing with Arro. Up ahead, Arro is already wearing a tuxedo suit that is in line with Bella's dress. Arro's hair has also been cut short, Arro became very handsome. Bella can't stare at Arro for long, otherwise her heart will forget her normal rhythm. Bella turned her eyes away, she saw Levi was behind Arro, Agnor beside Levi and Arzeus was not far from them. Bella also saw about ten troops on some sides guarding the place.
Bella was very nervous but she tried to smile. At that time, he really hoped he had a family that would be happy for him. But no one from her world would be happy for Bella. Perhaps best, Bella does not need to return to Human Land.
Arro could not hide his admiration of seeing Bella in that wedding dress. Bella's hair was tied up slightly and the other hair was allowed to unravel. A small crown on the top of Bella's head. Then the bouquet of flowers that he gave, Bella already held. Bella walked towards him like a beautiful slow motion. Bella's smile completes Arro's happiness. Eventually, he will have another family. Someone who would really be by his side. Forever.
Arro welcomes Bella's hand. Arro can feel Bella's hands are very cold. “Are you okay?” asked Arro a little worried.
“I'm so nervous,” muttered Bella slightly whispered. Arro then clasped Bella's hand to channel the warmth.
Bella did not know what to do, she only saw Arro scratch a little index finger to bleed a little. Arro then put his injured hand into a container made of water-filled crystals.
“Please, Miss.” Agnor then invited Bella.
Bella was a little scared, but she saw Arro who convinced her, Bella then took the sharp object and scratched a bit of her finger, just like Arro did. Then put his hand into the container.
Then Agnor cast a spell that Bella did not know what it meant. Bella sees blood from Arro's finger and blood from his finger running like a red thread that links to each other and surrounds her ring finger and rotates to form a ring there. The thing that happened with Arro's finger. A red thread made from Bella's blood surrounded Arro's ring finger and let out a small glow before disappearing. Suddenly Bella felt a pain in her chest. It doesn't hurt too much. Just like a little electric shock. Arro felt it too. Then, Arro and Bella's still faint marks, turned very clear.
“Ritual is done, Your Majesty The King can kiss the Queen,” Agnor said with a small smile and retreat, giving privacy to Arro and Bella.
Bella didn't expect there to be a kiss. Bella shook her head little to Arro, she was so embarrassed kissing in front of everyone. But Arro doesn't care about Bella's arm. He already pulled Bella and kissed her inside. The sound of applause from those who witnessed the blessing removed Bella's nervousness. He kisses Arro.
The event that started that morning was over before the sun rose. No dancing and so on. They are in a state of war. Especially Damian who is still unconscious.
After taking Bella to the room to change clothes and rest. Arro now meets Agnor, Levi and Arzeus in Damian's room. Arro was a little worried about seeing Damian who was unconscious.
“How is it?” asked Arro worried to Jasmine who was examining Damian's wound, on top of the wound, there were clumps of leaves that had been pounded. Jasmine has expertise with medicinal plants.
“The wound is close to closing Your Majesty,” replied Jasmine.
“How about Ardios? You haven't found any information?”
“Nihil, somehow Ardios like lost in the swallow of the earth. I don't have any information about him,” Levi replied.
“Maybe I can help by getting back into Damian's memory, Your Majesty. I might be able to see a little information there.”
Arro slightly weigh. “Alright, but don't interfere with other memories. I will kill you if you interfere with his privacy,” threatened Arro.
“I can't dare, Your Grace.”
Arro then gives Arzeus access to approach Damian's body. He put his finger over Damian's head and closed his eyes.
In just a few minutes, Arzeus opened his eyes again. He kept his promise, he only saw what happened back then. “As Mr. Agnor said, Ardios used black magic as well, Your Majesty.”
“Is that all you see?”
“True, that's it, Your Majesty. After defeating the black masked troops, Damian helps Mr. Agnor but is hit by an attack on his chest, after it—”
“Wait.” Levi interrupted Arzeus's sentence. “You said black mask?”
Arzeus nodded in fear.
“Your Majesty, Abercio's troops were also at that time wearing black masks. Don't-don't .. it is an ...” Levi hung up his sentence.
“Bella,” murmured Arro panic. He saw them all there. No one was keeping Bella in her room. Arro rushed straight to Bella's room. Everyone who was there also immediately ran behind Arro.
Arro's eyes widened when he saw the four servants who were supposed to help Bella were already lying lifeless around the messy room. Arro like possessed, he shouted loudly to break all the glass objects in the room. The hanging crystal decorative lights fell down and broke into the hard floor.
Netra Arro changing colors. Red as blood. A black dark aura raged around Arro. Obviously Arro's power is perfect. “Find Bella or I'll behead you all!”
“Good, Your Majesty!” answer them all simultaneously.
