The Arrabella Twice Lives
Chapter 10 Aiden's first friend
In a beautiful flower garden in the kingdom of Clarines, a little girl with blonde hair and beautiful blue eyes, seemed to be enjoying seeing the flowers there.
" Abel, you wait here for a second, okay? father will speak first with Viscount Benedict" Duke Reese said to the little girl.
Apparently the little girl is Arabella Naomi De Reese, her daughter.
" Good father "Arabella smiles happily
Arabella was alone and walked the path in the flower garden, she overheard a noise like a quarrel.
" Is there someone here too?" muttered little Arabella while looking around her
From behind the bushes, he saw a boy being beaten by 3 other people.
" Sonly child, you're not even at the level of the crown prince ! " call little man 1
" Look at your looks, ugly !" exclaim Little guy 2 does not like
" have you come back, don't dream of being on the same level as the crown prince! you're just a village boy !" said Man 3 banged
" Where can you be like that !" arabella suddenly appeared in front of the beaten little man.
The little man's eyes looked familiar, the brownish-yellow eyes were a hallmark of the royal family's descent. The eyes looked at Arabella behind her long hair, but the look on her face showed dislike towards those around her.
" Who are you? how dare he disturb us !" ask the 1st man
" I'm the one who doesn't want to see others oppressed. How can you beat your friends like this?" tanya little Arabella growled
" friends? he's not our friend! " answer, Man 2 is upset
" You guys are really evil !" arabella exhorted one of the little men boldly. The little man fell down and pushed back Arabella.
" U. K.." said Arabella
" Haha.so don't like to interfere in our affairs !" exclaiming Man 3 while smiling with satisfaction
The beaten child helped Arabella stand up and look at her with her yellow eyes. Arabella smiled brightly at the little boy.
" Sister is okay? it looks like he's hurt, right?"arabella asked gently and extended her hand. The little man returned Arabella's hand and smiled faintly.
" I. I.." the little man was nervous
When Duke Reese came to his daughter, the three bullies left and were immediately frightened.
" Abel what's wrong, son? who's this kid?" duke Reese asked as he looked at the small Aiden whose appearance was disheveled and his face was covered in long hair.
" Father, the three sons of the evil nobleman were bothering this brother." said little Arabella innocently of her
" Daughter, you're okay, right?" asked Duke Reese kindly
" I'm fine, sir " replied little Aiden
After that little Arabella treated the wounds on Aiden's face.
" why would you just shut up in a beating like that? why not fight? if I'm sure I'll reply to her " said Arabella annoyed
" When they fight for what, they often do this to me. I've been used to it since I lived here" Aiden said resignedly
" They are evil children, although you are the son of a servant, but they must not bother you so much" said Arabella annoyed
" Even he thought I was a servant's son, but they were a prince here. But, they always annoyed me despite knowing so "little Aiden's mind was sad
After that, Aiden and Arabella became more familiar and every time they were in the palace environment, Arabella always encouraged Aiden who was a loner to play together. Those days were wonderful days for Aiden as he spent his time with Arrabella. And at that time Arabella did not know, that her little friend was an outcast Prince and the King's first son from his first wife.
" Sister, why do you say you're going so far away?" arabella asked with her innocent eyes and full of sadness
" I don't know either, but this is for you" Aiden said as he handed Arabella a silver crystal necklace.
" I don't know after this we'll meet again or not "inner Aiden is sad
" This necklace is so beautiful" Arabella said as she held the necklace happily
" This is our friendship gift from me, I hope you take good care of it. This is a precious necklace for me "Aiden reminded
" really? if it's valuable to you why are you giving this to me?" ask Arabella wonder
" Since you are my first friend, you are also valuable to me "Aiden replied shyly
" ah..really? you are also my first friend" Arabella said with a smile
" It's good to hear it. Oh yes the necklace is a necklace belonging to my late mother, my mother told me that the necklace is very special" said Aiden
" Thank you brother, you gave me this precious necklace. I promise I will always wear it and take good care of it" Arabella said happily
" Okay, "Aiden smiled
" So, you can tell me where you're going?" ask Arabella
" I really want to say goodbye to you, I will go visit my family in a faraway place" Aiden said
" Then, are you coming back here?" ask plain arabella
" If you want me back, I'll go back "Aiden replied with a smile
" So all your actions depend on my answer?" ask Arabella while pouting
Aiden rubbed Arabella's head gently.
" I'll be back as soon as possible, just calm down" Aiden said
" Promise?" ask Arabella
" I promise "Aiden replied
Arabella and Aiden tied pinkie promises and smiled at each other.
From then on, Aiden returned to his aunt's house in the Londo area and was never seen again in the palace nor in the land of the Clarines.
Arabella searches for her and misses her, but Aiden seems lost to the earth and there is no news, moreover Arabella does not know the name of Aiden as long as she is friends with him.
***
Aiden woke up from his sleep, and his body was sweating a lot.
" Why do I dream about it again after all this time ? is it because I miss him too much ? It was a beautiful dream anyway, but you may not remember me, Bella "murm Aiden with a bitter smile.
At that time Arabella did not know, that his simple little helping hand was when he helped Aiden, the smile he showed in front of Aiden, and his innocent gaze, making Aiden's frozen and cold heart slowly melt away. The thing Arabella does is simple, but it means a lot to Aiden who has no friends and does not receive love from his parents. From then on, Aiden swore in his heart that he would protect the girl who gave him Love, and slowly made him fall for it in any way.
***
Early in the morning, Arabella got up and took a bath. He seemed excited to immediately go to the party at the Benedict family home, even though the party will be done in the afternoon.
" Why do you look so excited this early?" ask Peter wonder
" Of course, shouldn't life be a spirit" replied Arabella with a smile
" Is there anything good going on?" ask Ethan curiously
" There are actually a lot of good things going on" replied Arabella happily
" Is this about your sword master?" ask Peter
" Yes this is also about him "Arabella replied
" You're seriously going to practice swords?" ask Peter not sure
" Why did you ask that? you agreed to agree yes yesterday, you must not retract your words !" arabella reminds me
" Oh well, not ", said Ethan
" We just want you to always be careful and don't force yourself" said Peter softly
" Yes my brother, take it easy" said Arabella
" We probably won't see you much in one week, because we've got business at the border. Me, Peter and Dad, are you okay here with Felix, Layla and Daisy?" ask Ethan
" Yes, it's okay brother. You don't have to worry "Arabella replied
" Our brother seems to have grown up" said Peter
(" Ah yes I just remembered, there was a problem of piracy of merchant chariots on the border of Clarines, In the past my father and my two brothers were very reliable and most powerful warriors , therefore they are always assigned important tasks and I am always left behind. And since then I love playing to the palace only to meet that fucking Eugene, stupidly me ") inner Arabella is upset at herself
While the duke Reese from earlier did not speak and just drowned in his daydream.
" dad? dad, is there something you're thinking?" ethan asked worriedly seeing Duke Reese daydream
" It's okay" replied Duke Reese
" What's up Dad?" ask Arabella worriedly
" Haa. Like his father must tell you. Especially you Abel "Duke Reese sighed
" I ? what do you think is related to me?" ask Arabella
" Yes" replied Duke Reese
#FLASHBACKS
When the meeting in the palace was over, the King summoned Duke Reese personally.
" Honor my majesty the king !" duke Reese said in a salute
The king looked at duke Reese and smiled slowly.
" May I know what reason the King called me?" ask Duke Reese
" It's about your daughter" replied the King
" My daughter? is that a rumor about him spreading?" duke Reese asked carefully
" It's also related to that, but Duke Reese aren't you planning on including your daughter's name as the crown princess?" ask the King seriously
Duke Reese was choked and shocked to hear her.
" Her Majesty the king, my daughter has many flaws, she is also careless and spoiled, if she becomes the candidate of the crown princess, it is very unlikely that your Majesty the King" Duke Reese said
" It's a pity that I like your daughter. And it seems like the crown prince is also personally interested in your daughter, the duke. " The king smiled
" His Majesty the King, my daughter." duke Reese was nervous
" Your Majesty the king, I will not dare to defy the King's noble request" Duke Reese said as he bowed respectfully
" So you agree, right? Your daughter will only be a candidate for the crown princess, whether she becomes the crown princess or not, I leave it to the crown prince and the people themselves to vote for her" the King said with a smile
" All right, your highness I agree" Duke Reese said with force
#ENDFLASHBACKS
Arabella was shocked when she heard the story of her father and the King.
" Why did you do that? didn't I say I didn't want to get involved with the royal family !" ask Arabella upset
("No, I don't want my life flow to be like in the past ! no !") inner Arabella fear
" Abel, you heard father's explanation just now, right? he was also forced to register your name in the crown princess election" Ethan said firmly
" You calm down first, you're just on the list of candidates for the crown princess. Not her being a princess 👑 right?" ask Peter to relax
" Right too, I'm not yet a princess 👑! it's just a candidate, right ? that means new candidates? Haha.. " Arabella laughs no crap
His father and two brothers were shocked to see the change in Arabella's expression so quickly.
" What are you doing?" ask Ethan
" Did he eat wrong?" ask Peter wonder
" Abel, are you okay? like you're too shocked, aren't you?" duke Reese asked worriedly
" I'm fine Dad, then I go first huh. I want to meet my sword teacher "said Arabella cheerfully
" This half?" ask Duke Reese
" Yes, because later in the afternoon I have business, later in the afternoon I have to attend the party "Arabella replied with a smile
Arabella left as soon as possible.
" He was so excited" Peter said
" It wasn't long before she was shocked to hear the crown princess say, she changed her expression quickly" Ethan said
" Yes that's good we're not too worried about her. After all, father was also sure she would not be the crown princess" Duke Reese said confidently
" Truly, there's nothing to worry about. Our little Abel has started to grow up" Peter agreed
" Dad just remembered, isn't this the time he chose a partner for you, Ethan?" ask Duke Reese
" huh? dad, Peter, we have to get going late" said Ethan distracting
" This brother always switches the conversation when asked about marriage" Peter said in wonder
" Noisy you !" exclaim Ethan
***
Arabella and Felix went to the sword training ground and saw the sword training, but no one had yet trained there. Demian looked at it and looked surprised.
" Good morning Felix, Miss Naomi" Demian said hello
" Good morning too Demian" said Arabella and Felix
" You guys came so early ?" ask Demian in wonder
" Yes, I want to see his sword practice early because I have an interest later in the day. But, it turns out that I came too early" said Arabella feeling disappointed
" Yes, the sword practice only started at 9am" Demian told
" How is this, miss? are you going to come back or stay here? " ask Felix worried
" We have come all the way here, where we can just go home" replied Arabella
" What are we going to do here?" ask Felix
" sorry Mr Demian, is there a library?" ask Arabella
" library?" demian Mumbles
Demian drove Arabella to the library, and Arabella was fascinated to see many books there.
" I can't believe that a small library like this, also has complete books. You guys like his soldiers like to read too?" ask Arabella while picking up one of the books
" Some of us read books. But it was the cedric teacher who often read books, " replied Demian
" Oh so so, the diligent masked teacher also "said Arabella praising
" Is that a compliment?" asked Aiden who suddenly appeared from upstairs
" teacher? good morning teacher Cedric !" exciting Arabella spirit
" You're so excited, coming so early" said Aiden in surprise
" i'm actually here to ask you for permission, because I might not have seen your sword practice today" Arabella said
" why? are you feeling unwell?" ask Aiden worriedly
" Ah no, it's because I have an interest for the afternoon and afternoon I have to go to the store in the city center" replied Arabella
Arrabella spent a little time reading the book there, Aiden also read the book there, and secretly he smiled when he noticed Arabella.
" I began to feel uncomfortable with this "inner Aiden mask that was beginning to feel uneasy
No time passed quickly, the sun was hot and Arabella said goodbye to Aiden. But, he saw Aiden was also preparing to leave.
" Guru, you want to go out too?" arabella asked astonished to see Aiden riding on his horse
" Yes, the teacher wants to go to the city center" Demian replied gesturing
" This idiot, why did he tell her?" aiden's mind is upset
" your majesty, you don't have to thank me" Demian's mind pleased
" So, is the teacher going downtown too?" ask Arabella
" Yes, I want to buy some stuff "Aiden replied cuek
" Then how about if the teacher just come with me, we will go in the same direction" said Arabella gladly
" No need, I can bring my horse" Aiden said, declining
" Teacher, how can you get to the city center so quickly on horseback. Later your horse will be exhausted on the road, if you follow Miss Naomi it will be faster" Demian said giving advice
Aiden smiled "Fuck, you're Demian !" aiden's mind is upset
" Demian is right, teacher" said Lorenzo confirming
" Because you're not moving fast, you need a noble impulse "inner Lorenzo
" Even Lorenzo is following along !" aiden's mind is upset
" Yes, right. It's okay you can come with my train teacher " said Arabella happily
" Any right if you don't mind "Aiden replied at last
" I've created an opportunity for you noble, have fun, ah this is thanks to my hard work, Demian good work !" inner Demian was proud of herself
Aiden and Arabella get into the car together, Aiden looks awkward and nervous near Arabella. On the other hand, Arabella also saw Aiden whose face was flushed red.
" Guru, are you not well?" ask Arabella worriedly
" No, why?" answer Aiden cuek
" your face looks flushed, do you have a fever?" ask Arabella worriedly
" I ? blushing? no!' no !' exclaim Aiden
" How is this? I can't help but be nervous in front of him? it's the first time I've been this close to her again "inner Aiden feels embarrassed
" A sick person like him, who may admit that he is sick. A person like him must have pretended to be strong "inner Arabella
" Well, if there's anything that makes you uncomfortable you can talk to me" Arabella said
" Oh yeah, why are you going downtown?" ask Aiden
" I .. it's to buy a new dress " replied Arabella nervously
" Don't be nervous like that" said Aiden casually
" How can I not be nervous? you always had that creepy "inner Arabella aura
" Oh yes, if the teacher wants to buy what to the city?" ask Arabella
" I want to buy some clothes" replied Aiden cuek
" The crown prince's feast of maturity will start in 3 days, and I will have to prepare clothes to come there. Although I was actually lazy, Arabella must have come there too. I wish he didn't recognize me at the time "inner Aiden
" Bas a cold-blooded man, he always answers coldly all my questions. It is worthy of being called the legendary sword teacher, his attitude alone like this "inner Arabella was irritated
" If you want to buy clothes, let's go shopping together. It just so happened that I was also going to a dress shop" said Arabella kindly
" Well " said Aiden agree
" It would be better if you remembered me, Bella. But I can't expect much from you. I just hope to God, that in this life you will be happy, because I will make you happy "inner Aiden hope
They reached the city center and got off the train. Arabella orders Felix not to follow her, but Arabella forbids him because she feels safe with Aiden. Aiden and Arabella walk to Arabella's grocery store to buy clothes.
" Now this is her shop, let's go in "said Arabella
" Okay, replied Aiden
Arabella and Aiden walked into the store and were shocked to see someone they knew.
" Little lion, we meet again" said the man with a smile on his face
" Why is he here?" aiden sounded annoyed
" You !" arabella was shocked
