The Arrabella Twice Lives
Chapter 16 Surprise at party part 2
At the party, though, The king announced that Aiden would return to stay at the palace and be given official duties as prince and he appeased the nobles that Aiden's position as prince would not threaten the crown prince's position.
" And the last announcement is about the names of the candidates for the crown princess who have been approved by all factions of the nobility. Here are the names .." said Philip
The crown princess candidate :
The first is Princess Duke Zena, Miss Anna Yulian Zena.
She is the daughter of Marques Elza, Miss Lily France Elza
the third was Viscount Benedict's daughter, Megan Benedict
The fourth is Count Collete's daughter, Claire Dania Collete
duke Reese's daughter, Arabella Naomi De Reese
The 5 ladies were summoned to the front of the hall and introduced themselves in front of all the nobles present. However, Megan and Arabella look lazy.
" I didn't know that Miss Megan was going to run for the crown princess too ?" ask Claire
" I don't really intend to, but this is the plan of the parents" Megan replied lazily
" It's okay Miss Megan, I think Miss Megan is in the same position as Miss Arabella" Aida said as she looked at Arabella's lazy face
" Are you talking about me?" ask Arabella not understand
" Haha.. " Aida and Megan suddenly laughed at Arabella's face
Everyone enjoys the party, while Arabella still thinks of the big secrets she knows about Canaria (the mother of Aiden ), the Queen and Oscar. She was alone in the front garden of the palace, taking off her two heels and sitting on the grass in her wide dress.
" It's exhausting, thank goodness I went here. I can avoid dancing with the crown prince. Why is he so obsessed with bothering me? sucks "murmured Arabella feels upset
" You are so open yes, miss " said Aiden who was already behind her
" Akh !! " Arabella was shocked to see Aiden.
He immediately stood up and bowed to pay his respects but he lost his balance and fell into Aiden's arms.
" ah. embarrassing. My intention to make a good image in front of Prince Aiden, now the lost "inner Arabella felt ashamed
" I'm sorry your highness prince, I don't mean to be disrespectful to you. I really did not accidentally "said Arabella while bowing respectfully
Aiden smiled at Arabella's behavior, and focused on Arabella's feet not wearing shoes.
" He's looking at my feet? surely he thinks I'm being disrespectful for not wearing "inner Arabella shoes feels uncomfortable
Arabella took both of her shoes and was about to wear them.
" Not to be used" Aiden said
" why? " ask Arabella wonder
" You let go because your legs hurt, didn't you? so, don't wear it even if there's me " said Aiden soothingly
" This man, he's the opposite of the cheerful crown prince. He looks firm and cold, but I'm sure he's a good man "inner Arabella happy
" But, your highness the prince.."
" I said no " said Aiden
Demian and Lorenzo approach Aiden and Arabella in the park.
" Her Majesty the prince, you.. " Demian and Lorenzo were shocked to see Arabella there.
" Why are you here too?" ask Arabella wonder
Lorenzo and Demian looked confused and nervous. Aiden looks annoyed to see Demian and Lorenzo who came at the wrong time.
" Why did you come at a time like this? just interrupt !" inner Aiden was angry
" Oh no, we come at an inappropriate time "inner Demian is afraid
" His majesty seems displeased, now the important thing is to answer the question of Miss Arabella first" said Lorenzo
" Are you and teacher Cedric invited here, too?" ask plain arabella
" No, the teacher is at camp. We're here because we were told to escort the prince, hehe " replied Demian nervously
" Your acting doesn't look natural Demian" Lorenzo's inner being
" Yes we are here to escort the prince on the orders of the teacher" Lorenzo said firmly
" I've guessed that he's a liar, he says he doesn't know the prince, but in fact he knows.basis teacher is weird, annoying, cold, arrogant" murmured Arabella irritated.
The muttering man was apparently heard by Aiden and his two friends.
" Your highness prince, forgive me for saying such a disrespectful thing in front of you" said Arabella in fear.
" It's okay" replied Aiden nervously
" How can your majesty not papa, you dare to curse her in front of her, very nice lady "inner Demian
" It is clear that His Majesty is holding back his "inner Lorenzo
" I feel happy, because there are people cursing me in front of me. This is the first time in my life "inner Aiden is happy
Aiden signals Demian and Lorenzo to leave with Arabella.
" In that case, we go first" Demian said
" Yes, we have to keep watch elsewhere" Lorenzo said
" Any right" said Aiden
" good evening, dear, good evening, Miss Arabella" said Lorenzo and Demian bidding farewell
Lorenzo and Demian hurriedly left. Arabella is confused to see the strange behavior of Lorenzo and Demian.
" So, you're one of the candidates for the crown princess?" ask Aiden
" Yes, your majesty" replied Arabella
" It looks like your relationship and the crown prince is very good huh" Aiden said with a smile
" why do you think that's noble?" ask Arabella
" when I first came to the palace, I saw you and the crown prince embrace very affectionately" Aiden replied insinuatingly
" It's not like that. My relationship with the crown prince is not like that. Earlier, I just accidentally fell down and he held my hand to help me "light Arabella
" Uh? why should I explain this to him?" inner Arabella confused
" Is that so? " Aiden asked as if in disbelief
" As if I have spoken too much to you, your majesty, please excuse me. Sorry to disturb your noble "said Arabella with a smile
" Yes, weird thinking too. I explained this to the person I met once who was he? " inner Arabella confused
" Wait .." Aiden looked at Arabella's injured leg and looked anxious.
" Yes, your highness?" ask Arabella
" Your feet..." Aiden looks nervous
" Little lion, here you look !" eugene exclaimed as he approached Arabella and Aiden who were both.
(" Little lion? why did Eugene call her that?") inner Aiden is jealous
" Sister, are you here too?" asked Eugene kindly
" Well, I was walking, and I met Miss Arabella" Aiden replied
" It's good that you found this girl, I've been looking for her everywhere" Eugene said happily
" What'd he want here?" Inner Arabella was upset
" Then you guys please continue chatting, I'm sorry "Arabella bowed respectfully
" Where are you going? you owe me a dance?" eugene asked, holding Arabella's hand
(" Oh, so he always applies arbitrarily to Naomi. ") Aiden's inner being is upset
" Your Majesty please let go of my hand" said Arabella feeling uneasy
Aiden pulled Arabella and shook Eugene's hand. Eugene looked annoyed, but he held him back.
" He helped me? did he see that I I was uncomfortable with Eugene?" inner Arabella felt relieved
" You didn't hear what he said?" ask Aiden coldly
" Well, Miss Arabella I'll collect your debt later. You survived this time.. " Eugene smiled
" Arabella, you've always rejected me again and again. See, you'll be mine sooner or later. And when that comes I won't let you get away from me" Eugene said in his heart
" why do I feel that these two men are jealous? but to whom?" inner plain arabella
Eugene leaves Aiden and Arabella in the park.
" I am very grateful to His Highness the prince, for saving me" said Arabella gladly
" It's like you're so happy to be spared from my sister" Aiden said with a smile
" Uh ? am I that happy?" ask Arabella
" I don't know, but I feel like it. I don't think you're happy to get close to him, am I wrong? " said Aiden guessing
" You are right, your majesty, I am indeed not happy to be near the crown prince" Arabella confirmed
" If I could know, why?" ask Aiden curiously
" Because I don't like it "Arabella replied
" Why then would you nominate yourself to be the crown princess?" ask Aiden wonder
" It was because of the King's noble request to my father. I also don't know why his majesty asked for such a thing, but I make sure I won't be the crown princess" Arabella said with a smile
" Oh so that's the reason "Aiden smiles happily
" I didn't see it wrong, did I? he smiled.and he looked very handsome now "inner Arabella felt enchanted "Ah no, I should not be charmed.. "
" I calmed down after hearing the answer directly from you, now I know that I misunderstood the thought that you liked it. So, I still have a chance, right? " inner Aiden pleased
" You refuse to dance with my sister, if you dance with me how?" ask Aiden shyly
" With me?" ask Arabella in shock
Aiden took Arabella to the palace hall and asked her to dance. Meanwhile Eugene dances with Claire on the orders of the Queen.
All the noble girls there are jealous of Arabella dancing with the handsome Aiden.
" Everyone is watching your noble prince" said Arabella as she danced with Aiden
" You're wrong, everyone's watching you, especially the guys" Aiden said
" No way, today the center of attention is all on the noble prince" Arabella said with a smile
" Really?" ask Aiden not to believe it
" You always doubted me "Arabella said with a smile
" I've always dreamed of this day every day, Arabella. The day I could hold your hand like this, be near you and hold you. Like her today I will have a hard time sleeping, because I will definitely always remember your beautiful smile that "inner Aiden was happy
Not only is it the talk of noble women, Aiden is also the talk of noble men there.
" How dare she hold my daughter like that ! her first dance should have been with me !" jealously Duke Reese dancing with Aiden
" Dad, hold your anger. He's the prince" Peter said
" Are you really jealous of Prince Aiden?" ask Peter not to believe
" It could be that our youngest brother is so popular among the men" Ethan said annoyedly
" Yes big brother is right, look at some of the men there. They look jealous just like you !" peter exclaimed at the three men who wanted to invite Arabella to dance but refused.
Ethan, Peter and Duke Reese are annoyed to see Arabella dancing with the Prince for so long.
After the dance, Aiden took Arabella to the balcony and brought a box of chocolates and medicine.
" Your Majesty.what are you doing? why did you bring me here?" ask Arabella confused
" Sit down" said Aiden
Arabella sat on the chair on the balcony. Aiden opened the heels worn by Arabella. Arabella was stunned to see it.
" Your Majesty. what are you .."
" Shut up for a minute" Aiden said
Aiden treated the wound on the heel of Arabella's right leg and bandaged it with a bandage. Aiden opened the other box and it contained a pair of women's shoes.
" What will your majesty do?" ask Arabella nervously
" Wearing you shoes "Aiden replied casually
" How could he talk this relaxed? she wants to wear shoes, she said? what people say later, there will be more rumors !" Inner Arabella confused
" Let me be your highness" said Arabella as she took her shoes and put them on
" These shoes fit perfectly to my size ? how can, and these shoes are very comfortable to wear, do not feel sore "inner Arabella happy
" I'm sorry if you're uncomfortable, I just feel a little annoyed with the cut on your leg" said Aiden flatly
" I didn't even know my leg was hurt, but your majesty could see it. Thank you your majesty "Arabella smiled
Arabella suddenly remembered the words of Teacher Cedric (Aiden ) earlier who told her that she should not carelessly smile at just any man because it would cause misunderstanding.
" Why am I thinking about that shitty teacher?" ask Arabella in her heart
" Miss Arabella what are you thinking?" ask Aiden
" No. Your Highness.pardon me. And thank you "said Arabella as she walked away, then she suddenly stopped.
" Your Majesty, may I ask your majesty?" ask Arabella
" Say "answer Aiden
" But you promise not to be angry?" ask Arabella
" Okay, I promise "Aiden replied briefly
" Where did your majesty buy that shirt?" tabya Arabella
" A.what?" Aiden looks surprised
" Did she know that I was Cedric? have I been found out? Oh yeah, this shirt she must have recognized her "inner Aiden freaked out
" Your Majesty, please forgive me. You don't have to answer my question.let's just say I never asked "said Arabella nervously.
" Right as well? maybe they do have the same clothes, it's impossible if the teacher is prince Aiden?" inner Arabella
" From his words, he began to suspect "inner Aiden
" Your Majesty, have we met before? because you look no stranger to me "ask Arabella curiously
" it never seems, I just arrived in this country and I just saw you "Aiden told a lie
" It's true too, I'm talking what the hell" Arabella said with a smile
" Miss Arabella, may I tell you one thing?" ask Aiden
" what is that, your majesty?" ask Arabella
" Don't carelessly smile at men, as some of them will misunderstand and mistake that smile as a signal" Aiden replied
Arabella is again shocked, as Aiden's words remind her of Cedric's teacher.
" This must have happened to be "inner Arabella wonder
" Thank you for reminding me your majesty, but this is a friendly smile. Not a smile to attract men. Please don't misunderstand me too " said Arabella with a faint smile.
***
Afterwards, Arabella felt dizzy and asked her father to take her home.
" You want to go home now? " ask Duke Reese worriedly
" Yes dad, I'm really tired replied Arabella limp
Since Arabella fell unconscious yesterday, she has always been easily tired and felt dizzy. I don't know what the cause is. And today at the party, was a tiring day for him.
" Let me drive Abel home, I happen to be unemployed" Ashton said.
Suddenly the King says that he wants Eugene to dance with all the candidates for the crown princess. Including Arabella, and she waited her turn to dance with the crown prince.
The King and Aiden left the palace hall and spoke privately.
" Are you sure it's okay? your face is pale" Ashton said worriedly
" Brother Ashton, I'm fine "answer Arabella calms
" If you feel pain, I'll talk to your highness the crown prince" Megan said anxiously
" Miss Megan, don't worry. I'm just a little tired" Arabella said with a smile
" Why has my health been declining lately? what exactly is ?" inner Arabella wondered
***
It was Eugene's turn to dance with Arabella. Eugene's expression while dancing with Arabella was different as he danced with the candidates for the crown princess.
" I'm glad I finally got to collect my debt today as well "Eugene smiled happily
" Yes, your majesty, that way you can't force me to dance with you again later" Arabella said
" Your jokes aren't funny, but I like "Eugene said
" i'm not kidding" Arabella said
" My head is getting dizzy. No, I have to hang on. If I pass out here, I'll make everyone anxious. "inner Arabella
" what's wrong with him? why is he sweating so much? is he sick?" inner Eugene was anxious to see the girl in front of him looking pale and sweaty
Eugene stopped his dance and held Arabella's forehead attentively.
" What's the matter, Your Majesty?" ask Arabella in a limp tone
" We'll just end the dance, that's enough. We go to the dugout, I'll call the doctor" Eugene said in a worried tone
" Your majesty, I'm fine" Arabella said
" All right how? you have a fever like that. What's okay ?" Eugene looked at Arabella with anxiety
" Why is he showing this kind of look? he looks sincere, why didn't he go like this? when I was sick, he never once asked me how I was, let alone to call a doctor. Why is he like this now? was he really Eugene in the past?" arabella is sad
Eugene pulls Arabella's hand and takes her away from the hall.
" Your Majesty, how long will you draw my hand?" ask Arabella upset
" I'm always confused about you, what's my fault with you? why are you always like this?" asked Eugene hurt
" What do you mean ?" ask Arabella
" You always look at me with this kind of look, full of hate. What is my fault with you, exactly ? " ask Eugene in surprise
" You ask what's your fault? much wrong. In the past you've always hurt me, and every time you look at me now I want to curse you !" inner Arabella was upset
" You have always misunderstood my majesty, where dare I show such a look of hatred to her majesty. We are nowhere near the "light of Arabella
" It's precisely because we're not close, why are you looking at me like that?" asked Eugene sadly
" I've NEVER been !" arabella denies
" Once, we're going to the break room. Then I'll call the doctor " said Eugene looking disappointed
" No need, my majesty, I will go back home. Please let me go home " said Arabella firmly
" What exactly makes you like this? you close your heart to me "inner Eugene
" How can I start opening my heart to someone? if I had started not believing in love when you made me not believe anymore "inner Arabella heartache
Eugene held Arabella and made the girl shocked.
" Arghhh, your majesty !" arabella is shocked
" Look down, there's no one here. I've had everyone here go to the party" Eugene said
" It's not so, but I can walk on my own noble." said Arabella annoyed.
" can you just refuse me once? I just want to help you, don't get me wrong" Eugene said firmly
Arabella was unable to say anything more after she looked at Eugene's stern eyes, she was obedient. Eugene carried her all the way to the break room.
" Wait here, I'll call the doctor" Eugene said
" No need to "say Arabella
" Please, don't reject me anymore." said Eugene in a sad tone
***
Meanwhile, Peter, Ethan and Duke Reese search for Arabella in the palace hall and around it. Ashton then tells her that the crown prince is taking Arabella away.
Ethan, who is looking for Arabella, runs into the palace doctor and Eugene.
" Your Majesty " Ethan bowed respectfully
" You must be looking for Arabella, right? come with me " said Eugene
Moments later, after Arabella was examined by a doctor.
" The crown prince must really like this lady, she's even the one who never went to the doctor's building alone. Relax looking for a doctor, just to treat this miss quickly. No wonder, lately the noble much changed "inner Doctor Foster pleased
" How's he doing?" ask Eugene
" Miss Arabella only has a normal fever due to fatigue, if she sleeps, eats and takes medication regularly she will get well soon" Dr Foster explained
" Alright, thank you Doctor Foster" Eugene said
" Your highness crown prince, doctor, thank you" said Ethan
" we both answered Doctor Foster kindly
Ethan tells Eugene to bring Arabella home early so that his sister can rest.
" All right, take him. And recover quickly" Eugene said with a sincere smile
" Thank you, your majesty" said Arabella
Duke Reese's family returned to their residence. After that, Arabella fell asleep in her bed. Daisy and Layla treat him with a fever.
" Today was full of surprises. The first secret about the death of the king's first wife, the conspiracy of Count Oscar and his Majesty the Queen, the return of prince Aiden to the Clarines, Eugene's behavior that is different from the past. All these things today are so shocking to me, especially something so familiar about teacher and prince Aiden. At first glance they look like "inner Arabella confused
On the other hand, two handsome men in the palace were thinking about Arabella. Aiden and Eugene.
