The Arrabella Twice Lives
Chapter 19 Jealousy
The king was pleased to hear Aiden's decision to stay in the palace which meant that he would officially become a member of the royal empire of Clarines.
Aiden looked at the king and said firmly that he wanted to take charge of the investigation into the incident that befell the queen.
" What? " The king seemed shocked to hear his son's first request
" What's up ? what does your majesty object to my request?" ask Aiden
" No, it's not that. I'm just wondering why you're asking for something like that.. Is it possible that you have a relationship with Miss Arabella ?" ask the King wonder
" So your majesty is worried about my purpose of asking for this request. Your Majesty need not worry, I am doing this just to return the favor to Miss Arabella" Aiden said with a smile
" Did Aiden have feelings for the girl? why did Aiden smile happily when talking about her, he usually did not express his "inner King confused
" Well, I won't ask you again what your purpose is. I will grant your wish "the King agreed
" Thank you, my lord, " said Aiden
" I really hope that someday he will call me father "inner King hope
" Aiden, rest, I have the servant prepare a room for you" said the King.
" Thank you Your Majesty" Aiden said as he bowed respectfully

Aiden walked out of the royal hall, he saw Eugene as if he was waiting for him. Eugene saluted him.
" Good afternoon big brother" said Eugene
" You shouldn't pay any respect to me who is of lower status, your highness." said Aiden coldly
" Isn't this natural, you're my brother. You're also my father's first son, even though we're different mothers. But, we remain blooded " said Eugene
" I'm sorry, despite the fact that I don't want to be your brother" Aiden said coldly
" But why?" eugene asked not understanding
" Because I don't want to be brothers with you" replied Aiden coldly
" Why are you always so cold to me? whereas I have always treated you gently, I sincerely want to be your brother" Eugene said in surprise
" I don't need a brother like you. And also I don't like you "Aiden replied as he looked at the man in front of him hatefully
" How can I be on good terms with you?Maybe you forgot, but I don't forget, how did you kill Arabella and her entire family?" aiden's mind is full of vengeance
" The look in her eyes, why do I feel like she's looking at me the same way Arabella is looking at me. Equally hateful, but why?" eugene was confused
" Alright, even though you don't think of me as a brother. I'll treat you well, you can ask for my help if you need my help" Eugene said with a sigh
" Thank you crown prince for your concern. But please don't call me brother, just call me my name. Isn't our age 9 months different?" ask Aiden
" Good, Aiden" Eugene agreed
" I've always wanted to have a sister, I wish you were my sister but you don't seem to like me. "Eugene's mind is sad
Aiden met Lorenzo and Demian who were waiting in front of the palace.
" Why are you here? you guys looking where the room is?" ask Aiden
" Yes we already know where the room is, but Miss Arabella is not there" Demian replied
" Then ?" ask Aiden curiously
" Miss Arabella is sitting under a tree in the palace garden" Lorenzo replied
" Okay, replied Aiden
***
That afternoon...
Arabella was alone under a shady, shady tree.
" Dad, Ethan, Peter's brother, I'm sorry I always put you in trouble. I am indeed a useless child, in the past I had you killed. Even now I make you guys trouble, haa...how useless am I, am I the unlucky bearer? and why his attitude towards me is different from the past. Why hasn't he changed like he used to? has he really changed? or did he just cover up his evil attitude? the more I remember, the more my heart hurts. For some reason I suddenly missed teacher Cedric, if he was here he would have given me a solution even if he was arrogant, and cold. But, he's reliable .." Arabella muttered to herself
" What is a compliment?" asked Aiden who had suddenly appeared behind the tree
" It turns out he thought of me "inner Aiden was happy
" It was like the voice of teacher Cedric. Ah no, like her I'm fantasizing "murm Arabella doesn't believe
Aiden approached Arabella and stood in front of her, wearing a mask and Cedric-like appearance.
" Gu..teacher ! why are you here?!!" Arabella was shocked and immediately stood up
From a distance Lorenzo and Demian saw Arabella and Aiden, they were both on guard.
" Lorenzo, I'm so excited about your majesty" Demian said.
" why?" ask Lorenzo
" Why didn't your Majesty just tell Miss Arabella her true identity? wouldn't it be better " said Demian
" His Majesty has a reason why he did this, which clearly later also miss Arabella will know the noble identity" Lorenzo said confidently
" By looking at Miss Arabella's attitude like that, when she found out everything. He'll definitely be angry at your highness, won't he?" asked Demian worriedly
" It seems so" replied Lorenzo
Arabella was shocked and could not believe that Aiden was in front of her.
" I must be hallucinating, right? there is no way the teacher is in the palace "murmured Arabella confused
" If you don't believe me, you can touch me" Aiden said
" god! even his shadow could speak !" arabella was shocked
" Right now I want to laugh because you're so cute, but I want to enjoy seeing that cute face of yours for a while "Aiden's mind is happy
Arabella touched Aiden's cheek slowly and pinched it.
" Ou ! sick to know !" aiden exclaimed while holding his cheek pinched by Arabella
" Teacher.this is really you !" arabella exclaimed and hugged Aiden.
Aiden was silent from the shock of Arabella suddenly hugging him. Lorenzo and Demian who saw him from afar were also smiling, delighted. Other than them, there was someone else who saw Arabella hugging Aiden and looking friendly.
" It's a good thing I'm wearing a mask, so the look on my face is not visible at the moment. If seen by him, it would definitely be embarrassing "inner Aiden fret
" Thank God she's here, somehow I feel comfortable around her" Arabella's inner delight
" haa.. What am I doing? why am I hugging him ? I'm crazy !" inner Arabella panic
The panicked Arabella immediately pushed Aiden firmly, until Aiden hit a tree.
" Auw. hey you ! what are you doing anyway?!!" aiden exclaimed in pain while holding his forehead
" God ! teacher forgive me ! I was completely accidental .." said Arabella regretfully
Arabella helps Aiden stand up, she is shocked to see Aiden's forehead hurt.
" Guru, you need to take off your mask !" exciting Arabella
" A.what? why?" ask Aiden in shock
" As her forehead is hurt, I will treat her "reply Arabella replied
" If he takes off my mask, it'll all be over. No, I don't want her to know this way, "inner Aiden thinks
" No need this is just a small wound" Aiden said, declining
" Why is he so insecure? until I don't want to take off her mask, I can't believe she's that bad. From his voice alone he must be a handsome man. Yeah, like Prince Aiden, why do I remember him?" inner Arabella
" All right, I'm sorry " said Arabella looking sad
" why is his face like that? is he sad about what happened?" inner Aiden was worried
Aiden and Arabella sat on the park chair and they chatted.
" Say, why is the teacher here?" ask Arabella suspiciously
" I didn't want to lie to you in the first place.." Aiden wants to explain
" You knew Prince Aiden from the beginning, didn't you? and you're Prince Aiden's teacher too, right? you know I'm looking for her but you lied to me, mean " said Arabella while putting on a sullen face
" So he drew such a conclusion, well I'll just be him for now "inner Aiden
" Yes, I'm sorry I lied to you. I did know prince Aiden and I came here on the orders of prince Aiden" Aiden explained
" I thought you were close friends, right?" arabella says
" I've heard of your troubles from Prince Aiden. And he'll help you, prove your innocence" Aiden said
" What? why would he do that?" ask plain arabella
" If I told you, because I like you. What are you gonna answer?" inner Aiden
" Since he is a good person, he says he knows you too "Aiden replied
" When we met once, he wanted to help me. Very good "Arabella smiled
" Yes right, he said you danced with him too huh?" ask Aiden
" Why does the teacher know? can't you be so close to him?" ask Arabella suspiciously
" Yes I am indeed close to him "Aiden replied as he turned his eyes away
" Teacher, you know what ? when I was near Prince Aiden, I felt like I was near you. Why ya?" ask Arabella suspiciously
" My guess is right, it turns out that he's starting to suspect "Aiden's inner panic
" It might just be your feeling" Aiden said with an awkward smile.
" His current behavior is suspicious "inner Arabella feels suspicious
" Oh yeah, the clothes I chose for you are also the same as the clothes. What's really a coincidence?" ask Arabella
" It was actually the shirt you chose, I gave it to the prince "Aiden replied nervously
" What?! why did you give it to him?!" Arabella's angry
" Why are you angry? Is it just because I gave that shirt to Prince Aiden?" ask Aiden wonder
" Sucks, when I choose my whole heart for him. But instead, he gave it to someone else. As if my choice was worthless "inner Arabella upset
" Next time, don't ask me to pick a shirt for you again!" arabella is angry
" He's angry why the hell?" inner Aiden felt dizzy
" And tell Prince Aiden too, don't help me ! just let me get punished, and die !" arabella exclaimed
" Stop ! don't just say about death !" aiden shouted furiously
" How can you say that so easily? " inner Aiden is angry
" Why is he angry?" arabella's mind doesn't understand
" What do you care ? I'm dead or not, what's your business !" arabella exclaimed
Aiden covered Arabella's mouth with his mouth.
" I told you to stop! you're so chatty ! do you understand the meaning of death? why are you saying it so easily? " ask Aiden sadly
" Did he ever lose someone so important that he said this? it looks like he's very sad" Arabella's mind was confused
" Do you understand what it's like to lose someone who's gone? someone who is dead will not be able to come back..How can you say that?!! how can you talk without thinking??!" aiden was angry
" It's the first time I've seen him so angry, he must have felt a lot of sadness. Or maybe she had someone she loved and that person was gone, so she was so emotional about the death of "inner Arabella Jealousy
" I'm sorry, I'm not going to say so again" said Arabella sadly
" I don't mean to be mad at you." said Aiden
" I know, my teacher is going back to my room. I'm gonna get some rest. About the sword practice we did again after I was cleared of charges. And thank you for coming "the word Arabella is cold
" Why am I angry like this just because of clothes? and why am I angry when I think that teacher likes someone I don't even know who he is ? am I crazy, right? What is this feeling? I don't understand.." Arabella's inner confusion
" I'm here to comfort her, but I'm making her angry and sad "inner Aiden is sad
Lorenzo and Demian saw Arabella looking sad and he entered the palace.
" What's up with the atmosphere? wasn't there love in the air?" ask Demian in wonder
" It's like they're fighting again" Lorenzo said with a sigh
" Yes . whereas I was waiting for them to do something deeper" Demian said hoping
Lorenzo hit Demian on the head.
" auw is sick ! why did you hit me so suddenly ?!!" exclaim Demian annoyed
" I'm fixing your dirty brain !" said Lorenzo
***
Liam approached Eugene who looked very tired.
" Your Majesty" said Liam greeting
" Do you know where he is?" ask Eugene
" Am I being honest or not? if Miss Arabella is with another man? all right, all I see is a noble reaction, whether she really likes Miss Arabella or not "inner Liam
" Why are you daydreaming? instead of answering" asked Eugene annoyed
" I'm sorry, forgive my noble irreverence" said Liam feeling guilty
" Yes all right. Tell me what's your report now?" ask Eugene
" Miss Arabella was in the royal garden, she was alone then .." Liam stopped
" Did I tell you to stop? continue on.." said Eugene
" Then Miss Arabella met an unknown man and they hugged each other" Liam said hesitantly
" WHAT? They cuddle??! who's the guy? tell me clearly !' eugene was jealous
" his face is invisible because he is wearing a mask, nor do I know about his identity" Liam replied
" His majesty is really jealous, this is his sign that the noble is seriously fond of that miss "inner Liam
" That masked man again? what was he that I saw at the dress shop. As I expected, she was indeed nothing with the masked man "inner Eugene was upset
" Liam, find out who the masked man is" Eugene said
" Good noble, I will find out as soon as possible" said Liam obediently
***
Arabella intended to go visit the Queen and she saw the Queen being with the king. And he recanted his intention of visiting the queen, but as he was about to leave he heard something he should not have heard.
" How are you doing?" ask the King with his cold face
" I'm fine, Your Majesty" replied the Queen
" your majesty, are you worried about me?" the Queen asked with a smile
" Don't get me wrong, I'm here to talk to you about something. It's about the crown prince " said the King coldly
" What's up?" ask the Queen
" What is your relationship with Count Oscar ?" ask the King
" Why did Caesar suddenly ask that? is he starting to suspect ? no. There's no way "inner Queen panics
" What relationship do you think is noble? of course it is just a cooperative relationship "The Queen replied casually
" Really?" ask the King not to believe
" Are you jealous?' the Queen hugged the King. The king brushed it off and pushed it.
" Jealous? why should I be jealous of you? " ask the cynical King
" Yes, for what reason is she jealous. Her heart was only for Canaria alone "the inner Queen was upset
" What does Count Oscar and the crown prince have to do?" ask the Queen ketus
" I know everything. You insist on making Miss Claire Colette the couple's crown prince, there must be a reason, right?" ask the King suspiciously
" Of course there are. It was because miss Claire Collete was a girl worthy of Eugene. She is a beautiful, kind, educated girl and comes from a distinguished family" the Queen said.
" Haa..is that really the reason? if that was the reason, there were many noble girls out there whose status was higher than Claire Collete, and definitely better. Why do you have to choose him who only comes from the Count family?" ask the King
" I. That's because I like it. I liked the girl " replied the Queen nervously
" You think I'll believe that, Freya? " ask the cynical King
" that's how long have you believed me, Caesar" said the cynical Queen
" You didn't ask Eugene who he liked? does he like the girl or not?" ask the King
" It doesn't matter who Eugene likes, the future king of this country must not be weak by love or women. Isn't that so, your majesty?" ask the Queen
" It seems that I misjudged you Queen, I think that you consider our son to be a child, but you regard him as the crown prince. You also act as a Queen and not a mother. You know why I say this ? I wish Eugene could be with the person he likes, I don't want him to be stuck just like me. And lost the one he loved forever "the King said firmly
" Hahaa..he's dead, why do you still remember him? then why don't you just take him to the grave with your bastard son?" The queen laughed creepily
The King slapped the Queen hard. Arabella, who was still standing by the door, was shocked to hear the sound of the slap.
" You're still crazy" said the cynical King
" Haha, yes I am crazy, crazy for loving you too much" said the Queen in tears.
" Deliver those tears, I don't want to see them. I'm here to remind you, don't get too involved in the couple's problems for Eugene. I want him to choose the person he loves and the person he chooses to be with !" exclaim the King firmly
" How long are you going to keep thinking about that damn woman? though I've removed her from this world, but she's still in your heart. "the Queen's inner heart aches.
Arabella returned to her room and looked dreamy. He was about to change clothes, and someone opened the window of his room.
" AAAAA aaa" cried Arabella in shock
Aiden closed Arabella's mouth in panic.
Some of the guards heard her screams from outside.
" Miss Arabella? are you okay??" ask one of the guards
" A.. I'm it's okay. I'm just surprised there's a cockroach " said Arabella nervously
" Then we're going to expel the cockroach, let us go inside" the bodyguard said anxiously
" No, no, I'm fine. Leave me alone " said Arabella
***
Arabella looks upset and wears her shirt back. At that time Aiden did not wear a mask and appear as a prince.
" I didn't know you were such a pervert, prince " said Arabella annoyed
" If my two brothers knew a man saw me half-naked, he would have drawn a sword to the prince or even asked me to marry him. Their thinking was very conservative "inner Arabella worried
" I guess this is my room, how I explain it. "Inner Aiden is confused
" I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I thought this was the room the waiter had provided for me so I just walked in "Aiden said regretfully
" Why did you enter through the window? Not through the door? huh uh??!" ask Arabella who was almost crying
" I'm sorry, I went through that window because I didn't want to cross with someone" Aiden said
" I really don't want to cross paths with you, because I would feel awkward, but instead meet you here "inner Aiden feels guilty
" I know he's just looking for an excuse. Bawdy stay a pervert!" inner Arabella upset
" Well what do you still want? shouldn't you leave immediately?!" arabella shouted furiously
" He was angry again, yes his mood was not good today. He was even indignantly indistinct just because of Aiden's inner clothes"
" Yes yes, I'll be leaving soon. I'm really sorry miss " said Aiden regretfully
" Huuhh.." muttered Arabella annoyed
" Well, about what I heard from the queen and Count Oscar, should I tell him this? but, how do I tell her, I'm not even close to her. Shouldn't he be his son know? No, I'll just tell him later "inner Arabella thinks
Aiden stepped into the window of Arabella's room.
" his highness the prince, wait!" exciting Arabella
" Yes, what's wrong?" aiden turned to look at Arabella
" I. I thank you "said Arabella shyly.
" What for ?" ask Aiden
" I heard from my sword teacher, if you want to help me with my investigation of incidents involving me even if you don't know me and we're not close" Arabella said softly
" He was so sweet when speaking softly like this, it felt like I wanted to run now to him and hug him. My heart is Iji, it feels like it just wants to explode.." Aiden's inner self is archived.
" Yes, it's nothing. Have a good rest " said Aiden kindly
" Ah yes, your highness the prince also "said Arabella
" It's weird, I always felt that she gave me a sense of comfort when the teacher was with me. Their smell is the same, do they not have a special relationship haha. talk what the hell I am "inner Arabella think that is not.
" At tomorrow I have to talk to him, carefully. Since this was a sensitive matter, this was also a matter regarding his mother. Of course he should know "the Arabella murmurs thinking
***
The next day, Eugene personally meets Arabella and waits for her in front of her room.
" Good morning noble crown prince" said Arabella greeting
" Why is he here so early?" inner Arabella wonder
" Good morning, did you sleep well?" ask Eugene
" Yes, I slept comfortably noble " replied Arabella gladly
" In that case, let's have breakfast with "Eugene
" Sorry, my majesty, this is a palace prisoner, I can't have breakfast together with your majesty" said Arabella
" What do people say if there are rumors about me circulating again? I'll make my family trouble "inner Arabella
" I told you, you're not such a prisoner" Eugene said
" Miss Arabella good morning" said Aiden who suddenly arrived
" Good morning noble prince" said Arabella
" Greetings, son of the crown" said Aiden
" Yes prince Aiden, " replied Eugene formally
" I'm sorry crown prince, but I have to borrow Miss Arabella for a moment" Aiden said
" where are you going? I mean what's up ?" ask Eugene
" Why does Aiden look so close to Arabella? since when are they familiar?" inner Eugene jealous
" Didn't Miss Arabella say you have something to talk to me about?" aiden asked gesturing to the girl
" Right, there's something I want to talk to the prince" replied Arabella
" What kind of conversation does it take for you to talk to both of you?" eugene asked annoyed
" Your highness the crown prince, do you not yet know that I was assigned as the principal investigator in the queen's incident. So, there are a lot of things that I and Miss Arabella have to talk about" Aiden explained
" What? why don't I know? since when did you become the lead investigator on this case?" eugene asked in shock
" Since last night, for more details you can ask his Majesty the King. Then me and Miss Arabella excuse me first" Aiden said with a cynical smile
Aiden invites Arabella away, Eugene looks annoyed and jealous at the closeness of Arabella and Eugene.
" When did they get close? they even met once. And why am I so angry to see him with another man? is it true Liam said, that I've fallen for him?" eugene muttered thinking
***
Aiden and Arabella walked together towards the Eastern palace, and they also followed Demian.
" His highness the prince, why are we walking to the Eastern palace?" ask Arabella
" i've been investigating about the Eastern palace last night, and there's something fishy. I think you should know " said Aiden
" Oh well. Your highness the prince thank you again "said Arabella
" What is this time for?" ask Aiden
" You have helped me get away from the noble crown prince" replied Arabella
" You're blatantly saying that you don't like her" Aiden said
" Yes it's true. " Arabella justifies
" Because I've helped you so many times, don't you have to do something?" ask Aiden
" A.. Whahuh? so you're asking for a reward from me?" ask Arabella in shock
" So this guy is not sincerely helping? sucks just like a teacher !" inner Arabella
" I'm not going to ask for anything weird" Aiden said
" What does your Majesty want?" ask Arabella
" I want a heart." replied Aiden
Arabella was surprised by Aiden's reply, and they stared at each other. Slowly a sweet smile appeared on Aiden's face. He looked at the girl he liked with gentleness.
