The Arrabella Twice Lives
Chapter 15 Surprise at party part 1

The grandmother smiled and increasingly invited Arabella's curiosity towards him. He was convinced that the grandmother knew who owned the necklace and its secrets.

" Granny ! please tell me what Grandma knows about this necklace?" ask Arabella curious

" You're really curious about not the original owner of this necklace and who gave it to you?" ask Grandma

" Yes, I try to remember who gave it to me. But, I don't remember at all. " Arabella looks sad

" That person you can't remember now, but you'll remember it later. Because that person is the savior of your life, and he is always around you "grandmother smiled

" Mom, please don't make me more curious. Just tell me who the hell is it?" arabella asked, growing curious

" You'll remember her soon, without me having to say. Miss, I have to leave immediately" Grandma said as she stepped away

" Wait ! if grandma doesn't want to answer my question just now, I want grandma to answer my last question " said Arabella pleading

The grandmother smiled again as if she knew everything in Arabella's mind. He answered with no doubt and no lies

" The necklace will turn red or feel hot like fire, when the lady is in danger. Or someone who has bad intentions for you. "

" Unbelievably, this granny really knew what I was going to ask before I even asked. Does he have the power to read minds? why does he know everything?" inner Arabella shocked

" Miss is satisfied with my answer, right? I have to go, please keep the necklace well not to be lost. If the necklace is gone, your life will be in exchange because you already used the request on the holy girl inside the necklace. Use your life well, "the grandmother said, remembering.

" He even knew about the power of the holy maiden and about my second life? Who is this grandma really?" inner Arabella shocked

Shortly thereafter ..

The sound of horses moving towards Arabella.

" Miss Naomi !" aiden exclaimed as he ran over to Arabella

" Miss !" felix shouted out anxiously.

Arabella turned her head towards Aiden and Felix who were running towards her in a hurry." A teacher? Felix's? what are they doing here?"

Arabella turned her head back towards the grandmother, but the grandmother she spoke to had already disappeared in the blink of an eye.

" Where did he disappear?" arabella's heart was shocked

" Miss, are you okay?" ask Felix worriedly

Arabella was still not fully conscious and her face was still in shock.

" Miss Naomi? are you " said Aiden worriedly.

Suddenly, his body lost its balance and collapsed. Aiden swiftly became his back, Aiden caught the body of Arabella who lost consciousness so as not to fall. The faces of Aiden and Felix went from anxious to panicked to see the girl fall unconscious.

" Miss ! miss ! you why?!!" exclaim Felix anxiously

" Miss Naomi!" Aiden panicked while holding Arabella's cheeks trying to resuscitate her.

" Miss !" shouted the surprised coachman as well

***

A few moments later...

" What is this noise?" the half-conscious Arabella

Slowly, Arabella opened her eyes, but far from where she lay there was Felix, Aiden, and Doctor Louis. Arabella kept quiet and watched them.

" Please calm down, I'm sure that soon Miss Naomi will be awake" said Doctor Louis with a face full of sweat

" You said that from earlier, but my lady has not realized either !' exclaim Felix annoyed

" Is there really nothing serious ?" ask Aiden calmly

" We'll have to wait until Miss Naomi wakes up and I'll check on her. Please, both of you, calm down" said Dr. Louis

" How can we calm down? miss suddenly fainted like that ?!" exclaim Felix anxiously

" You guys are so noisy !" arabella exclaimed

" Miss ! " Felix looks happy

" Miss Naomi, are you conscious?" ask Aiden worriedly

" Why do they look so worried?" inner Arabella wonder

" I'm fine" replied Arabella

" Alright, I'll check on Miss Arabella now. Can you two gentlemen wait outside?" doctor Louis said

The two men came out of the room where Arabella was lying. Doctor Louis checked Arabella's condition.

" The two men outside just made me dizzy" murmured Doctor Louis with a sigh

" Yes they are noisy, what are they fighting about ?" ask Arabella with her innocent face

" Hehe. miss you can-can ask me, obviously they are noisy because miss " said Doctor Louis kindly

" Cause of me?" ask Arabella wonder

" Miss, I didn't think you were so popular with men. I'm really not wrong following people" said Doctor Louis gladly

" What do you mean doctor ? whose man?" ask Arabella confused

" In addition to making the crown prince fall in love, you also make the handsome Mr. Felix, and the cool Mr. Aiden likes you" said Dr. Louis

" What?" Arabella shocked

" Huuh. spoke carelessly, and do not carry the name of the crown prince "said Arabella as regrettable.

" Okay, lady, I'm sorry. I will convey to the two masters who are in front of it about the condition of the lady" Doctor Louis said

Louis's doctor tells Felix and Aiden that Arabella fainted due to mild shock and is doing well. Aiden and Felix were relieved to hear this. They both go in to meet Arabella.

" Miss, your lady don't wake up. Rest first" said Felix worried to see Arabella will move from her bed

" I want Felix's sword practice !" exciting Arabella

" There is no sword practice for you today" Aiden said firmly

" No, I have to practice now. Because tomorrow I can't practice" Arabella insisted

" Miss, we better listen to Mr. Cedric for now. Miss, just fell unconscious" Felix said anxiously

" Have you heard what Dr. Louis said? I'm doing fine. I'm fine " said Arabella getting upset

" No, today you go home or rest here is up. As long as you don't practice today, I don't want to train the sick" Aiden said firmly

" I'm not sick ! " cry Arabella upset

Looking at Aiden's eyes and his assertive words, also at Felix's suggestion, Arabella surrendered and said goodbye to Aiden and his students at the camp. Lorenzo and Demian just got home to buy clothes.

" Miss Naomi, good afternoon" Lorenzo and Demian said

" Ah yes good afternoon" said Arabella listlessly

" Hurry back before nightfall" said Aiden cuek

" You cold-blooded man! " inner Arabella was upset

" Loh, why is Miss Naomi coming home?" ask Demian

" Lorenzo you take Miss Naomi to her house" Aiden said

" No, I can't trouble the teacher anymore. Besides Felix was with me "Arabella said firmly

" I don't feel bothered, don't get me wrong. I just don't want tomorrow to have news of a girl being robbed around here, or a girl fainting on the street, wouldn't be good for the reputation of my place" Aiden said firmly

" Why did your majesty say that to Miss Arabella? my goodness, that is not the way to seduce the "inner Demian girl in worry

" Let's just relax I don't need your help. I will not affect the reputation of this place ! I'll just go home with Felix !" arabella exclaimed

Aiden sighed and acted indifferent as if he didn't care. Felix was astonished to see it, because just now when Arabella fell unconscious, he saw that Aiden cared so much for Arabella that he struggled with her to hold Arabella. Felix wondered about Aiden, why he behaved as if he did not care about Arabella even though he secretly cared about her.

Arabella comes home with Felix and in the train Arabella looks upset.

" What does Cedric mean? intermittently he was kind and intermittently he was being nonchalant and cold. Indeed he can not guess what kind of person, he is so mysterious. Haa... I would love to see clearly the look on her face if I take off her mask ! " Arabella muttered to herself and looked irritated

Arabella recalled that when she met the strange grandmother, she wondered if the grandmother she met was human or not. Obviously, his question has been partially answered.

" I was really hoping to see that grandma again and ask her a lot of questions, but she just disappeared. What I clearly know from the grandmother's words is that my necklace will be red and feel like fire if anyone intends to harm me. That means Claire's mean to me? but what is he planning?" Arabella thought hard

***

At the sword training camp, Aiden can be seen hearing the scolding from Demian and Lorenzo about his attitude towards Arabella that they did not justify. Demian advises Aiden to be gentle with the woman he likes, but Aiden turns the opposite.

" Your Majesty, why are you acting that way to the woman you like?" ask Demian in wonder

" I don't want him to know how I feel" replied Aiden

" Your Majesty, what kind of answer is that? you sound like you're desperate to know!" exclaim Demian annoyed

" It's none of your business !" aiden was angry

" What's wrong with you, your majesty?" asked Lorenzo in surprise

Aiden ignored Lorenzo's question and he saw the rain start to fall with a sad face. He recalled that while on the way, people were talking about Arabella and the crown prince, saying that Arabella liked the crown prince by teasing him. Aiden was heartbroken to hear her and looked upset.

" Is the rumor true? that you like the crown prince too? can't I get your heart this time? is he always going to be the guy you like ?If that's true, then keeping your distance is the best choice !" Aiden wondered in his heart

" It's raining today, it's okay if Miss Naomi is only guarded by Felix. What if there's another robber?" tanya Demian is warming up

" Or what if Miss Naomi falls unconscious again" Lorenzo added

Aiden began to be disturbed to hear the chattering of his two friends. Finally he told Lorenzo and Demian to follow Arabella secretly escorting her to her home safely.

***

Arriving at Reese's mansion.

" Miss Arabella has made it home safely, we should go home now" Lorenzo said

" Yes we should go home soon" Demian said in agreement

As they were about to leave on horseback, Ashton confronted them and pulled out his sword.

" Who are you? why are you following Abel?" ask Ashton sharply

Arabella and Felix looked back and saw Ashton threatening them with a sword.

" Please get rid of your sword sir, we are not bad people" Lorenzo said firmly

" Why are you following Abel secretly?" ask Ashton ketus

" Who is this guy? she called Miss Arabella by such a familiar name?" inner Demian

" Who is he? he's handsome and strong, is he Miss Arabella's sister?" ask Lorenzo in his heart

" Why are Lorenzo and Demian following me?" inner Arabella confused

" Brother Ashton stop ! they're not bad people, they're my friends" Arabella said

" You think I'll believe it? what kind of friend follows his friend secretly, suspiciously !" Ashton doesn't believe me

" I told you, they're my friends. You don't trust me?" arabella asked while looking at Ashton

" Ah, yes, well, "Ashton relented

" Save your sword back !" exciting Arabella

Ashton put his sword back in.

" Now, a question for you? why are you following me?" arabella asked Lorenzo and Demian

" Pardon us if the lady feels uncomfortable, we are just following Mr. Cedric's orders" Lorenzo said

" Right, we didn't mean to be mean Miss... Mr. Cedric asked us to escort you home, and this too we will be home soon" Demian said

" Why did he do that? sucks. "murm Arabella is upset

" Mister Cedric may look cold on the outside, but he's actually a warm person." Demian smiled

" Your Majesty, I can only help you up to here "inner Demian

" Yes, tell him I'm grateful. But, I don't need her protection" said Arabella as she was

" As her miss Arabella is still angry at her noble "inner Lorenzo is sad

" Alright, then we go first" Lorenzo said, bowing respectfully

" It seems that my identity has been discovered by them, and I have explained to them "the inner Arabella

" Ti. don't need miss ." said Lorenzo refused

" Miss, I happen to want to drink tea" Demian agreed

Lorenzo glanced resentfully at Demian who was not in his direction.

In the end, Demian and Lorenzo enter Reese's residence. They drank warm tea and ate snacks. Arabella also explains about her identity that of a Duke's daughter. Her name is Arabella Naomi De Reese.

" Oh yes, miss Arabella is this master your brother?" tanya Demian looked towards Ashton

" Let me formally introduce myself, My name is Ashton Victor Benedict, I and Abel are not sisters. Her brother and I were best friends, so Arabella was like my sister" Ashton said kindly

" Greetings know the master" said Lorenzo and Demian saluted

" Oh yeah, he's kstaria white knight loh" Arabella said

" really? it's so great .." said Demian amazed

" if you're a white knight why are you here? shouldn't you be in the palace ?" asked Lorenzo sharply

" I'm taking 3 days off, tomorrow I'm going back to the palace" Ashton replied.

Seeing the proximity of Ashton and Arabella, Lorenzo and Demian look suspicious and feel that Ashton likes Arabella.

They returned to the sword training camp, Aiden was waiting for him.

" Why are you guys so long?" ask Aiden annoyed

" We actually went to Reese's residence first" Demian replied

" Why are you guys there? didn't I tell you to follow it secretly? have you been found out !" aiden was angry

" The current noble emotion is unstable, what exactly is going on with it today?" inner Lorenzo astonished

" Yes sorry we got caught, by a white knight Knight man" Demian replied

" Who?" ask Aiden

" He's named Ashton Victor Benedict, he's a Viscount family and near miss Arabella too, what noble knows him?" ask Demian

" Ashton V. Benedict's? as I recall, he was very close and friendly with Peter, the older brother of Arabella. And in the past didn't he die mysteriously during the election of the crown princess ?" aiden thought

" i don't know. You better do your job ! I'm lazy to talk !" aiden was angry

Aiden left his two friends who looked confused by his attitude that day who continued to get angry.

***

The next day, at Eugene's maturity party at the palace.

All the noble guests were present there, from the start of the Earl's family to the Duke's. Eugene is seen waiting for someone, as well as the king.

" Dad, is my brother really coming?" ask Eugene

" I hope he comes "the King replied unsure

" I'm sure father, that brother will come. He had already received an invitation from father "said Eugene soothingly

" yes. Your crown prince looks happy today, like you're waiting for him. " The king saw Eugene's cheerful face

" What looks clear?" eugene asked with a smile

" you look more cheerful than usual" said the pleased King

" Yes my father was right, I am very happy to be looking forward to this day" Eugene said

The king looked towards the guests, and saw Duke Reese and his family already present including Arabella.

" It seems that what you have been waiting for has come my son" said the King with a smile

Eugene looked towards Arabella who was wearing a pink dress, and Eugene smiled looking at her.

" She always looked beautiful" Eugene said in his heart

Eugene walked over to Arabella, but some noble men approached Arabella. Eugene looks jealous.

" Miss Arabella, will you be my dance partner tonight ?" asked Sergio (Duke's son) while extending his hand

" Miss, it's better to dance with me" said Derek (the son of Marques )

" Miss, how about dancing with me? " ask Zen (son of Marques ) with a seductive look

" A. I'm actually.. " Arabella looks nervous and awkward.

Eugene approached Arabella and the three men from the noble family. The three of them including Arabella greeted Eugene politely.

" I'm sorry, like I had to interrupt you. I have to talk to miss Arabella" Eugene said as he stared at the three noble men cynically

" Yes.ba.alright noble crown prince.we will go. " said Derek nervously.

The three noble men left Eugene and Arabella together. Arabella was the center of attention at the party.

" Is this guy on purpose? make me the center of attention to bother me? " inner Arabella feels upset

" I'll excuse you first, your majesty" said Arabella with a smile

" Where are you going? don't know yourself once, you just left after I helped you?" eugene asked annoyed

" Ah. okay.. Thank you your majesty for helping me, then excuse me "said Arabella formally

" You ! where is such a thank you?" eugene asked annoyed

" Then how should I say thank you? " ask Arabella

" You have to say it sincerely" replied Eugene

" Well, I have to go along with her wish so that I can leave quickly" Arabella said

" Thank you very much for your help, I thank you very much "said Arabella while forcing a smile

Eugene held Arabella's hand and pushed her into his embrace. Everybody saw it.

" I changed my mind, like thank you wasn't enough" Eugene said with a smile

" Your Majesty please take care of your attitude, this is in the party hall. Everyone sees us "said Arabella fretting

" I don't know why I'm happy to see you fretting like this, let's beg me to let you go" Eugene said with a satisfied smile

" Your Majesty .." Arabella looked at Eugene's eyes looking at her gently

" Why do you always reject me? Why?" inner Eugene sad

" Eugene, why are you looking at me with such a look? you've never seen me with that look?" inner Arabella wonder

Arabella and Eugene looked like they were hugging in front of everyone. Peter and Ethan were on guard, worried to see him. People talk about their relationship, besides Claire, the Queen also looks unhappy with the closeness of Arabella and Eugene.

" Mom, look at me. Sister and Miss Arabella aren't they a good match?" camille asked as she looked towards Arabella and Eugene

" My daughter, does your sister like Miss Arabella?" ask the Queen in a cold tone

" Yes mother, I think Miss Arabella is different from the other girls. Don't you know the rumors about sister and miss Arabella?" ask Camille in surprise

" Mom knows son, but I think it's just a rumor "the Queen replied while looking intently at Arabella

" It's not just a rumor, mom. Although she hasn't said how she feels about Ms. Arabella, she really likes her" Camille explained

" If your sister really likes her, then that is a problem" the Queen murmured

" What did mom say? why would you like Miss Arabella to be a problem?" ask Camille in shock

" Mom didn't say that, you misheard "The Queen smiled

" Am I really hearing wrong? obviously I heard her "inner Camille think

" What if Eugene really likes the girl from Duke Reese's family ? this is not good for Claire, only she should be the crown princess. If duke Reese's daughter was just to be his concubine it's okay, but if she becomes the crown princess. It would be bad for me and the Collete family. "the inner Queen is fretting

As Eugene clutches Arabella's hand, Arabella looks upset but she can't fight back.

" What do I have to do to get you to let me go?" ask Arabella upset

" What is it? what if my first dance today I did with you? " Eugene smiled

" Devil, why are you smiling like that. "the inner Arabella is getting irritated

Arabella looked at Eugene with a look of hatred and dislike that was blatant.

Shortly after, an unknown man pulls Arabella's hand. Everybody saw it. Arabella was shocked to see it.

" Who is he? how handsome !" one of the noble girls was fascinated

" That's right, my goodness. Her hair was also very cool " said Aida fascinated

" Who is he? coming up instantly grabbed the attention of everyone with his good looks. We even saw her for the first time" Megan said

" Is he a prince?" ask another noble girl.

Eugene stared intently at Aiden, whom he thought was the foreign man who pulled Arabella's hand. Arabella was in her arms, and she felt familiar with the man's gaze.

" This guy, I've never seen him. But why does she feel so familiar to me?" inner Arabella

" If by being a prince I could protect you, I would do anything "inner Aiden full of confidence

The King and Queen like her recognized Aiden because they looked shocked when they saw Aiden.

At that time Arabella seized the opportunity to escape from Eugene and Aiden and she ran towards Aida, Megan and the other noble women who were chatting.

" During time not seeing, My sister . Or now I should call the Crown Prince" Aiden said as he bowed in greeting

" sister? " Eugene was shocked and choked to hear Aiden call him sister

The King stood up from his throne and walked over to Aiden. The king cried and hugged Aiden affectionately. On the other hand, the Queen looked unhappy.

" You have finally come, my son" said the sad King

" I'm sorry for arriving late, Your Majesty the King" said Aiden.

Arabella and everyone there are shocked to hear their conversation and learn that Aiden is the first prince who has lived in exile for a long time.

" So, he's Prince Aiden? the prince who was said to have been banished by the king to the land of Londo?" ask Megan not to believe it

" He's very handsome, and charismatic" Aida praised

" Prince Aiden.. " Arabella was surprised and she could not take her eyes off Aiden, because she recognized the clothes Aiden was wearing.

That afternoon Aiden was the talk of nobles and noble girls because of his good looks. In the presence of all the people the Queen showed a friendly attitude towards Aiden, because he knew he could not deny the king's order to make Aiden stay in the palace again.

Arabella satirizes on the balcony of the palace and she thinks of Aiden and his teacher who bear some resemblance.

" obviously the color of his eyes and his eye gaze were the same, teacher and prince Aiden. How could there be such a similar person? and why the clothes Prince Aiden wore were so similar to the clothes I chose for the teacher. Is this just a coincidence?" arabella Mumbles

Arabella heard the voice of the man who was talking and she hid.

" you've promised me that noble queen" said Oscar sharply

" I know, I will definitely keep my promise" said the Queen

("Who is the Queen talking to? )Arabella asked in her heart

" I will wait, my niece must be the crown princess" Oscar said firmly

" how dare you threaten me, I am a Queen !" the Queen was angry

" Oh, what noble feels threatened with me being just this Count? " ask Oscar while smiling sarcastically

" I will definitely be your niece as the crown princess, you better keep your mouth shut" said the cynical Queen

" Okay, I just reminded you. If you forget or ignore my request, I will expose the incident behind Miss Canaria's death to her Majesty the King" Oscar said sharply

" What? the queen was involved in the death incident of the king's first wife?" inner Arabella shocked

" You can keep your mouth shut, can't you? what if someone hears !" The queen's upset

" Therefore you must immediately act, noble queen, do not let me wait for you any longer "Askar smiled cunningly

The Queen and Oscar are gone.

Arabella was shocked to hear everything, she could not believe what she had just heard.

" So perhaps, my plans of overthrowing me as crown princess in the past had something to do with the queen as well? .. Count Oscar has been working with the queen for a long time, so it's been planned to elevate Claire to crown princess, really evil ! " the word Arabella in his heart
