" Very good Miss" said the 1st Man praising
" Thank you beautiful lady" said the 2nd man with a smile
" Yes yes, please enjoy the word "Arabella.
Arabella approached Aiden and gave him 1 bottle.
" Guru, this is for you" said Arabella
Aiden took the bottle and sipped the drink.
" Teacher how's my training going?" ask Arabella
" You have a lot to learn again to regulate your breathing, and also your horses are still stiff" Aiden said coldly
" Okay teacher, I'll be excited. Oh yes teacher, may I ask you something?" ask Arabella
" what do you want to ask?" ask Aiden
" Do you know anything about Prince Aiden?" ask Arabella
Aiden was shocked to hear her to the point that she was choked by the water.
" uhuk uhuk "
" Why is he asking about me? shouldn't he remember me? according to the sacred book, he would not remember the person who gave the crystal necklace to him, as he used the crystal power that "inner Aiden was shocked
" Guru, what's wrong with you? drink it carefully "the word Arabella reminds
" Why does her face look like a ghost? " inner Arabella wonder
" Why are you asking about him?" ask Aiden
" That's because I was curious about her "said Arabella nervously.
" Where might he believe if I told him I knew him from a past life, and I wanted to know him more closely, then support him to be the crown prince of "inner Arabella confused
" Curious? why?" ask Aiden wonder
" I heard he was the first son of the King's Majesty, and I was curious about him. That's just "the light of Arabella
" Why are you asking me about her?" ask Aiden to get confused
" Because you said you were from Londo, maybe you knew him too. So, do you know him or not?" ask Arabella
" I don't know him "Aiden replied firmly
" Well, then I won't ask you again" said Arabella
" Liar, I clearly know that you know about Prince Aiden. Why are you hiding her ?" Said Arabella upset in her heart
" Why is he asking about me? does he remember me? it's impossible.obviously. "Aiden's mind was shocked.
Aiden looked at the girl he liked deeply and thought hard. But the girl did not realize Aiden was staring at her.
#FLASHBACKS
Little Aiden is playing with little Lorenzo at his aunt's house (Yurian ).
Yurian is seen preparing good food and also cakes to eat.
" Your highness prince, how are things in the palace? is the palace really that big?'" asked Lorenzo curiously
" It's really big, the name is also the palace "Aiden replied lazily
" why aren't you happy living there with the king's majesty?" asked Lorenzo with a plain face
" I'm not comfortable being there, and I don't have any friends" Aiden replied sadly
" really? aren't you a prince? surely many will play and befriend the noble "asked Lorenzo in wonder
" Because I'm not a real prince" Aiden replied sadly
" Don't your majesty say you have one friend? who her? is he a boy?" asked Lorenzo to switch the conversation
" She's a girl, she's 3 years younger than me, she's my first friend in the palace" Aiden said happily
Aiden was very excited to tell Lorenzo about Arabella. Soon, Yurian and Albert (Aiden's uncle) call Aiden and Lorenzo into the house.
They eat together, suddenly Yurian looks surprised to see Aiden.
" Aiden where is it? why don't you wear it?" yurian asked while looking at Aiden's neck
" What's the matter aunt?" ask Aiden confused
" The crystal necklace your mother gave you, why don't you wear it?"ask Yurian to panic
" I gave it to Arabella "I answered Aiden plainly
" What ? why did you give it?" ask Yurian to panic
" My wife, why are you so sweet? " ask Albert confused
Aiden and Albert saw Yurian panic about the crystal necklace.
Yurian tells Aiden that it is a protective necklace, a saint given to Canaria as a gift, because it has helped many people who are in trouble. Inside the necklace was a force often called the protective girl, and Canaria said that Aiden could ask for one request on the necklace, which she called for, but in return her childhood memories will be erased by the power of the necklace.
" Aunty, why do aunts believe such a thing?" ask Aiden not to believe it
" Aiden, aunt is serious. Why don't you keep the necklace all right ? your mother told your aunt that you keep the necklace, and you gave it to someone else" Yurian said resentfully
" Aunty take it easy, the necklace .. He'll look after her he promised me " said Aiden calmly
" Who is he? who did you give that necklace to? your mother said if the necklace was to be given, then you should give it to someone valuable to you "ask Yurian
" He's precious to me bi "Aiden replied with a smile
#END FLASHBACKS
After hearing Yurian's story about the crystal necklace, Aiden initially distrusted her and said that it was superstition. But, Aiden believed as he himself felt the power of the crystal necklace worn by Arabella to invoke reincarnation. However, the biggest question was why did he feel that power? and why he was reincarnated, and did not forget the past events, including his feelings for Arabella that still exist. That big question still hasn't been answered? it remains a mystery in his life. One thing he knew, that the return of Arabella in his life was a REAL proof of the power of that crystal.
" We only met when we were kids, which is why you don't remember me. Did we ever meet when we were adults? why don't I know? But I'm grateful, because you're alive, yes that's what matters "inner Aiden wonders and is confused
" Guru ! teacher !" Arabella half yelled
Aiden was still drowning in his daydreams and did not hear Arabella.
" Guru, are you sick?" arabella asked as she gently touched Aiden's cheek
Aiden was shocked and immediately turned his face away.
" I'm sorry, teacher, you're shocked. Don't get me wrong, I'm holding your cheek because like you're overheated, I just want to make sure you have a fever or not "Arabella looks awkward
" La..other times don't do this !" aiden is upset
" I made him angry again.huu "inner Arabella felt guilty.
" All right, I'm sorry, teacher.. " Arabella is sorry

" I have to finish this all within 2 days, before my manhood party starts "worrying Eugene muttered
The sound of people opening the door was heard by Eugene.
" HORNS "
" Good afternoon" said Liam, bowing as a sign of respect
" What's up Liam?" ask Eugene
" Someone from Duke Reese's residence came here, to meet his highness "Liam informed
" What?" Eugene was surprised to hear that
" Has he coming? as expected, he will come to me sooner or later "embraced Eugene in his heart
" i'll meet him" Eugene said
" What does your honor mean?" liam asked not understanding
" I'll see her myself, don't you hear?" eugene replied annoyed
" i mean, what noble would meet the servant himself ?" ask Liam
" waiter? whose waiter?" ask Eugene
" The servant of Duke Reese's family who came here, your majesty" replied Liam
" What?" Eugene sounded angry
" His Majesty must have hoped that Miss Arabella would come, but she didn't. Oh, he looks angry. People as gentle as noble, if angry will be very creepy. Haa.. I actually don't want to talk anymore, but I have to keep talking.." Inner Liam was afraid
" Say ! what's duke Reese's servant here for? Can you tell me the OBVIOUS HUH??? " ask Eugene angrily
" He came carrying a message for his highness the crown prince, and there were also some carriages coming from the residence of duke Reese" Liam began to fear
" A few cars? for what ? what are those cars carrying?" asked Eugene in an introductory tone
" I.that's.they carry a lot of women's dresses" Liam replied in fear.
" WHAT???!" Eugene was surprised to hear her and looked annoyed.
" How dare that woman, reject me again. Absolutely outrageous! he thinks he who dares to refuse my rare attention, I will keep you in my grasp Just wait, Arabella "inner Eugene full of anger
Eugene reads a letter from Arabella, and he seems to get even more upset when he reads it.
" Did he really hate me?!! what's my lack, with the guy she likes? I am the 1st man in the country. Why would he reject a man as perfect as me? WHO DOES HE think HE IS?!!" eugene shouted as he tore apart his letter

That afternoon, Arabella and Felix said goodbye to everyone at the camp because they had finished training and it was late afternoon.
Aiden and Arabella become awkward with each other as they talk and make the people around them suspicious.
" sa. I will go home first teacher "said Arabella looks shy and her speech so stuttering
In their minds they still floated the incident this morning when Arabella fell on Aiden's body and when he looked at Aiden.
" Ba.all right.you're careful.." Aiden looks nervous
" why is this happening in my brain? I'm afraid I'm gonna explode "inner Aiden panicked
" I'll see you tomorrow" Arabella said.
" It's a shame, why do I remember this incident again?" inner Arabella panic
" Yes.ce.hurry up and go" said Aiden
" what happened to your highness and Miss Naomi?" demian whispers to Lorenzo
" I don't know, but there must be something going on when we're not there" Lorenzo replied quietly and curiously
" This time we're the frequency yes, Lorenzo "demian smiled
" Okay, just this time I agree with you. I was also curious " said Lorenzo with a smile
" well, you look so sweet when you smile at Lorenzo, I always look at you expressionlessly. It's good now that I can see your handsome face smiling" Demian said charmedly
" Disease ! don't talk to me in that tone, I'm a man and normal !" lorenzo was upset
" Do you think I'm not normal? whoa wah.. Lorenzo, you got a storm?" Demian felt bad
Arabella and Felix walk away, and Aiden catches up with a familiar box of cookies.
" Miss Naomi, wait !" exclaim Aiden
" what's the matter, teacher?" ask Arabella
Without saying much, Aiden handed the box to Arabella. Arabella smiled looking inside her box was a chocolate cake.
" Bakery pia? well, this is my favorite cake." said Arabella glad
" I bought a cake at that store and didn't spend it because it was too much. " Aiden cuek
" When you say you want to give it to me. Wear the reason his cake is not all out, I know this is still a new "inner Arabella happy
" Thank you teacher, this is my favorite cake" said Arabella glad
Unknowingly Aiden smiled happily, Arabella was shocked to see him.
" He smiled softly like this. This was his first time, and he looked very handsome, and his lips were sexy. Even though his face was invisible. Haa... Why did I become perverted like this? " Arabella panicked in her heart
" Miss, let's go" Felix said
" he.iya.. " Arabella walks away carrying her cake
Felix senses that Arabella is starting to have feelings for Aiden, he feels jealous but in his heart he says that his love for Arabella will he keep for himself. He knew that he could not have Arabella, but he was determined to always be by her side and protect her.
***
Arabella, on her way home, suddenly stopped her train.
" Felix, why stop? " ask Arabella
" Miss, like her it's the train of the Collete family" Felix replied
" The Count Collete family?"
" that must be Claire, why would she stand in my way?" Arabella wondered in her heart
" Miss, do I have to say something to Count Collete's servant?" ask Felix
" It's not necessary. I'll go down "Arabella replied firmly
Arabella got off her train, she saw Claire was already in front of her with a waitress beside her. They saluted Arabella. It is a tradition of every kingdom, that they should pay their respects and greet first to the person of higher family status. Arabella who came from the Duke's family, which means that his position was only under the 1st emperor level should get the respect of the Collete family who had the status of Count.
Arabella answered the respect and greetings of Claire and her servant. Their eyes met each other, the scent of competition began to smell from two women who had been enemies in the past, or maybe enemies in the future as well.
" I'm sorry for my impoliteness Miss Arabella" Claire said with a smile
" you'd better have a good reason why you're stopping me in the middle of the road like this" Arabella said in a sharp tone
" Haha, actually I have no intention of stopping you. I'm also on my way, I want to greet you and also invite you somewhere "Claire keeps that smile
" Pubscribe me? in this way? is this polite?" ask Arabella cynically
" I wanted to pretend to be nice to her, but since she was ruining my mood, I got upset" Arabella's inner self was upset
" Miss Arabella, please have a polite conversation with my lady !" the servant said with an annoyed face and a sharp tone of speech to Arabella.
" Rini, stop it ! you're so disrespectful to Miss Arabella" Claire said resentfully to her servant
" What the fuck are these guys?" Arabella said in her heart while looking at Claire and her servant with a dislike look
" Just a lowly servant, you dare to say impolite and scrupulous to my missus" Felix said resentfully
" Felix, it's okay. I think Miss Claire chose the wrong waiter "said Arabella mocking
" What?" ask Claire in surprise
" Miss Claire, don't you see that your servant needs to be disciplined?" ask Arabella quipped
" if I hadn't been disturbed, I wouldn't have done this Claire "inner Arabella
" Rini, quickly kneel down and apologize to Miss !" exclaims Claire held back in annoyance
" Well, miss, what's wrong?" asked Rini with a plain face
" You still dare to ask ?!!" claire was angry
" I must endure this humiliation. Arabella, wait and see. I'll avenge your humiliation this "inner Claire is upset
Suddenly Arabella felt her crystal necklace momentarily turn hot like fire, then return to its original state.
Rini knelt down and apologized to Arabella, Arabella forgave her. Then Claire apologizes to him for being disrespectful, telling him she meant to invite Arabella to her house for a chat, as well as her apology at the tea party.
" Well, I'll come tomorrow afternoon to your house" said Arabella in agreement
" Thank you Miss Arabella, for accepting my goodwill" Claire said with a friendly smile
Upon seeing Claire's smile, Arabella said in her heart.
" One look also knows that if you force your smile, I didn't realize you used to smile fake like this. To attract the attention of the crown prince, you pretended to be an innocent woman who was kind and friendly to everyone, but for now your acting did not work for me. I who am now will not be deceived, I who am now will not be an evil woman like in the past .."
#FLASHBACKS
Arabella and Claire were candidates for the crown princess left at the time. They're embroidering for a show on the crown prince.
" Arabella, what are you gonna embroider?" asked Claire with a plain face
" I don't know yet, if you're Claire ?" ask Arabella curious
" I don't know yet either " answered plain Claire
Arabella embroiders an empty handkerchief, she looks joyful while thinking about the crown prince. Until finally seen the carving of the Phoenix bird on the handkerchief that had been empty.
" May your highness the crown prince like her "said Arabella while hugging her handkerchief.
He looked exhausted and fell asleep on the couch. Without her noticing Claire sees her handkerchief secretly and smiles cynically.
The next day at the palace, Arabella looks happy while carrying a handkerchief of her embroidery all night. However, on the other hand he saw Claire crying and was in Eugene's arms.
" Her Majesty the crown prince . greeting" said Arabella saluting
Eugene looked at her cynically and ignored the greetings Arabella gave. He seemed confused by what happened.
" Claire, why are you crying?" ask Arabella worriedly
" You're still asking why she's crying?" asked Eugene cynically
" i. I really do not know." replied Arabella did not understand
" Your highness, hu.huuu... it is your majesty.I am fine, I will make it again.." Claire was crying
Arabella's voice: I didn't know why Claire was crying, until Eugene pulled my hand violently and took me to Claire's room. Eugene's gaze at that moment frightened me, as well as making me hurt.
" What are you doing?" arabella asked as she held her painful hand
" I know you're jealous of Claire, but you shouldn't be doing this !" eugene half shouted
Arabella looked at Claire's room everything looked messy, the torn-up dress was strewn everywhere and most importantly her embroidered handkerchief was broken. Claire could only stand beside the crown prince, and cry as if she was oppressed and helpless.
" Why did this happen?" arabella was shocked and did not understand
" Can you still ask?" asked Eugene cynically
Several servants who served Arabella at the palace testified that Arabella, who told her to damage Claire's embroidery, also damaged all the dresses in Claire's room.
" I didn't do that, your majesty, I never ordered that.." Arabella is confused
" I don't want to believe her either, but you always do what you want Naomi .." Eugene was upset and disappointed
Claire secretly hides her satisfied smile at the growing rift between Arabella and Eugene.
" Your majesty, come on. I'm fine" Claire said in tears.
" Claire, you believe me, right? I can't possibly do that, we are friends" Arabella said hoping
" I trust you, but why are you doing this to me when we're best friends?" ask Claire
" What? Claire. I .."
" You're still more talkative? quickly apologize !" eugene shouted furiously
PLAQUES
Eugene's hand landed right on Arabella's cheek, the girl holding her cheek which Eugene slapped. Compared to the slap on his cheek, he felt more of his heart being slapped. Moreover, the servants saw it, and it made Arabella even more humiliated.
" Your Majesty !" claire pretended to be shocked
Arabella was speechless, her face already showing great disappointment towards the man she loved from that small moment. He tried to keep his tears from flowing, because he felt embarrassed enough to see the servants, he did not want to be embarrassed by crying.
" Naomi.. " Eugene looks shocked by what he did, at first glance there is guilt in his heart
Claire smiled with satisfaction at all of that.
" that's enough.. " Arabella made a soft voice and her head lowered
After that, Arabella was sentenced to house arrest and was not allowed to leave her room for 2 weeks. It did not matter to him, but the problem and hurt his heart was because the man he loved did not trust him and trusted Arabella more.
Arabella Voice - :
" I was just hoping you'd believe me.. However, far from believing, like only I love you one-sidedly, and I alone have to bear this feeling. The feeling of love I have for you really hurts my heart....I accepted all the accusations of people and rumors about me saying that I was the evil girl who bullied my own close friend for the position of crown princess, Even though that is not true, I ignored them all. Just because you want to believe, but in fact you don't !
Do you know exactly what I wanted back then Eugene? do I really want the position of crown princess? no ! all I want is to be with you and be next to you. Because I love you .."
# THE FLASHBACK END
Along the way home, Arabella recalls the events of the past and unknowingly cries. He got off the train, and was surprised to see Eugene was already there.
" Why should there be him ? I don't want to see it today!" inner Arabella upset
" Miss Arabella.. " Eugene didn't continue his words.
His attention was distracted when he saw the girl before him wiping away his tears.
" His eyes are swollen? did she cry?" eugene asked worriedly, in his heart.
" Fuck, why does he have to come when I'm like this?" inner Arabella
" Who made you cry? say !" eugene exclaimed as he stared softly at Arabella.
