The Arrabella Twice Lives
Chapter 25 The Land of Vanders
Reese Mansion..
Daisy and Layla were tidying Arabella's clothes in her room.
" Mademoiselle, do you want to add more clothes?" ask Daisy
Arabella was still drowning in her daydreams and her own confusion.
" Miss Abel?? " tanya Layla was confused to see Arabella daydreaming
" Have you ever thought about my feelings? or don't you want to see my feelings? so, your goal is just to protect me? that all? Haa. I can't believe this.. Prince Aiden, I really don't understand what kind of person you are. "inner Arabella is upset.
The two loyal servants of Arabella looked anxious to see their dreamy miss thinking of something heavy.
" What's wrong with Miss, Aunt Daisy?" ask Layla
" I don't know, either, lately, miss has been daydreaming ", Daisy replied with anxiety
" Is it possible that Miss was afraid to go into the war?" ask Layla
" Layla, you know Miss Abel can't be like that. She is a brave noble lady, she is not afraid of anything" Daisy said with a smile
" Yes, aunt Daisy you're right" Layla said in agreement
Though the girl has often told her heart and mind many times that she will not be weak because of a man. Especially if it is because of love, it turns out that in fact his defense began to collapse by the figure of Aiden who made his heart shake again after ever his heart was destroyed by Eugene, Eugene, Aiden gave her the comfort she had long wanted to feel from a man. However, he did not know that comfort would take him to the stage where he would like someone or love someone.
For a long time he had loved no one, except Eugene, who was his first love. He also made the girl not believe in love. But, Aiden's presence made a collapse in his heart. At the moment he does not want to admit that the feeling he feels is love. All he knew, he was just disappointed by Aiden's words to him and felt his hope in the man was just a delusion. In her heart and mind, Arabella does wish Aiden had more feelings for her. However, Aiden had already set a limit for him not to come any closer. Then he will stay away from the prince as far as possible because he is afraid of getting hurt again and has a feeling of "love" in his heart.
" yes, avoiding him might be better. It should have been since the beginning we never met Arabella muttered with a bitter smile

The White Knight camp..
Aiden tells Lorenzo and Demian about his conversation with Arabella. He asked his two friends if what he said was wrong or not?
The two friends argue the same, that Aiden accidentally said the thing that hurt Arabella.
" If your majesty really said that to Miss Arabella, she indirectly told her to stay away from her majesty" Demian told her
" I agree with Demian this time, he may be silly but he's not that stupid" Lorenzo said
" Oh, thank you Lorenzo, for the first time you have praised me. I'm so HAPPY "Demian is upset with Lorenzo
" But I didn't mean it that way, did he really think so?" ask Aiden not to believe it
" Honest to us, your majesty is jealous of seeing Miss Arabella cuddling with the crown prince? " ask Demian
" I'm jealous, it can't be "Aiden replied hesitantly
" Your majesty is jealous and that is why your majesty vents all your annoyance at Miss Arabella, for before her your majesty would have seen Miss Arabella and the crown prince embrace. Though the first do not know if maybe they have another reason to embrace like that" explained Lorenzo argued
" Do you think I'm jealous?" ask Aiden seriously
Lorenzo and Demian nodded in agreement.
" I'm not jealous" Aiden said in denial
" your majesty, you may not feel it or see it. But, we as love watchers can see it " Demian said with a cheerful smile
" This time I agree with you too, Demian" said Lorenzo
" So, are my words to her outrageous?" ask Aiden curiously
" If I think, your majesty is too cold and indifferent to Miss Arabella. And according to the noble story just now, I am sure that later Miss Arabella will avoid the noble one" Lorenzo said confidently
" Woah, I didn't know you could say what I wanted to say to your majesty. We are so happy " said Demian happy
" really? why would he avoid me?" ask Aiden plain
" I don't think that noble is so innocent in terms of romance "inner Demian is concerned
" Isn't that clear, your majesty, I said. That was because indirectly the noble one had already made a boundary " Demian said firmly
" Your Majesty, sometimes you have to use your heart not your mind" Lorenzo advised
" You guys are kind of advising me, even though you don't have a partner yet ! huuh "Aiden is angry
" Okay, we just tell your majesty our opinion" Demian said
" I'm also sure that Miss Arabella will stay away from her majesty" Lorenzo said 100 percent sure
" His Majesty would like to bet with us?" ask Demian defiantly
" Alright, I believe he won't avoid me" said Aiden confidently
" Okay, and we're both convinced that Miss Arabella will avoid the noble one" Demian said confidently
" He wouldn't be able to do that, I'm sure "Aiden said in his heart
" Your Majesty, you're too twisted. Miss Arabella must be confused because you "said Lorenzo with a faint smile

That afternoon, all the white knight warriors as well as the candidates for the crown princess gathered in the palace. They were getting ready to go to Vanders, several chariots and horses were seen in front of the palace.
Ashton, and Peter saw Arabella look sullen and moody. The two men approached Arabella.
" Hey, what's wrong with you?" ask Ashton wonder
" What's up, what?" arabella says no spirit
" Where is my brother's spirit today?" ask Peter
" I'm just being lazy replied Arabella lazily
" You cried last night, didn't you? can you tell me the truth?" ask Ashton suspiciously
" I told you it was because my hand was wounded by the sword "Arabella replied briefly
All the busy Kstaria will leave for the land of Vanders.
While Ashton helps Arabella and Megan to bring their belongings into the train. Arabella looks unfocused and keeps daydreaming.
" Megan, do you know what happened to Abel?" ask Ashton
" Don't know, she was daydreaming and seemed unfocused" Megan replied anxiously
" What's up? " ask Ashton while looking at Arabella who was sitting daydreaming inside the carriage with her face that was not excited.
Arabella is one train with all the crown princess candidates and Camille is also on board. Some of them continue to harass Arabella, but the girl ignores her.
In the journey ..
" Miss Arabella are you unwell?" asked Claire with a clear face
" Claire, I'm used to your face. Nasty "inner Arabella pissed
" Yes I'm not well answered Arabella lazily
" Miss Arabella, was she still angry because of what I said at the time?" ask Claire sadly
" I'm sorry Miss Claire, I'm not the vindictive type of person "Arabella replied
" Why are you being so sniffy with me? I'm sorry .." asked Claire sadly
" That may be your feeling" replied Arabella briefly
Claire sobbed after hearing Arabella's speech that seemed indifferent. Two other noble girls, immediately glanced dislike at Arabella. It was as if Claire was being bullied by Arabella.
" Miss Arabella, you are so arrogant. Didn't you see Miss Claire cry like this?" asked Anna annoyed
" I was so lazy to serve them, my head was so dizzy. "inner Arabella growled
" what's sister Arabella doing until Miss Claire cries?" ask Camulle confused
" Daughter, didn't the princess see that Miss Arabella was bullying Miss Claire?" ask Lily wonder
" No, brother Arabella just talk ordinary not oppressive " replied Camille firmly
" even the princess was already on her side, you're so great you're the "inner Claire seductress
" It's okay Miss Anna, Miss Lily, I was guilty of miss Arabella before so it's only natural that I am treated like this now" Claire said
" That's enough, I've been watching this drama for a long time. You better stop Miss Claire, don't exaggerate !" megan was upset
" Geez, I'm really lazy getting involved in today's drama "inner Arabella is upset
" Miss Megan, you should have opened your eyes. You continue to defend Miss Arabella who is clearly guilty" Anna said angrily
" What? miss Anna, you better open your eyes. Didn't you see that nina Claire was playing the drama?" megan asked annoyed
" Stop ! enough of you all !" arabella shouted in annoyance
" Claire, why do you always make trouble ?" inner Arabella wonder
Megan and Anna who were about to fight became silent because of Arabella's screams. As their carriage stopped, Eugene and Ashton got off their horses and looked inside the girls' carriage.
" What's going on?" ask Ashton worriedly
" i heard Miss Arabella yelling, what's wrong?" eugene asked as he looked towards Arabella whose face looked troubled.
The other noble girls were jealous to see the crown prince and Ashton noticed Arabella even willingly got off their horses just to see Arabella either saha or not.
" Miss Arabella are you not well?" ask Eugene
" Nobody, I'm fine. I'm sorry, there was a little commotion. Forgive me for disturbing "the word Arabella explained
" Why did he get off his horse and stop the ride just because he heard my screams? does that make sense?" arabella's heart was astonished
" what is this? even Ashton's brother also followed the crown prince, do you think Ashton's brother has changed course?" megan was guessing
" Your Majesty, this is all my fault. Since miss Arabella is angry with me, forgive me for causing a commotion. Please your majesty continue the journey "sad Claire said
" It's good that there's nothing" Eugene said as he glanced at Arabella sitting in the corner and smiled at her.
" Eugene what the fuck your smile is "inner Arabella is upset
" your pouting face is so cute "inner Eugene is happy
" My sister, apparently you're really in love with Miss Arabella. Take it easy, I'll help you "inner Camille spirit
They return to Vanders, Eugene and Ashton return on their horses.
Lorenzo and Demian continue to heat up Aiden's manation, looking at Arabella in the carriage, but Arabella ignores him and looks away as the man looks at her
" Whoa wah.. Lorenzo, like his we've already won the bet" Demian said happily
" Your Majesty, are you sure you're not jealous? seeing the crown prince and vice-chairman Benedict watching miss Arabella up to her side ?" ask Lorenzo to heat up
" It's obvious that Lorenzo isn't, but your majesty has said that he's not jealous. No matter who approached Miss Arabella, her majesty would not be JEALOUS" Demian said as she teased the already pouting Aiden
" Do you want me to send you back to Londo?" asked Aiden to hold back
" Well we'll shut up your majesty" said Lorenzo and Demian compactly
" Your Majesty sometimes you have to be honest with yourself. I hope you have no regrets when Miss Arabella, chooses someone else one day" Lorenzo reminded
Aiden was a little disturbed to hear her, as his face was immediately stunned to hear Lorenzo's remark reminding him.
" I don't care if he wants to be with anyone important he's happy. That would want me? does that really want me?" aiden was confused himself
***
After 1 and a half days of travel they reached the border which will go to the land of Vanders.
A country that has cool air, wind blowing, as breezy as the leaves are waving and look beautiful green grass.
" Your Majesty, it is unexpected that even under the leadership of the tyrant king who is notoriously cruel. However, her territory looks as beautiful as this during the day" Liam said as he looked through the scenery
" Right, the flowers planted here are also very beautiful in contrast to those in Clarines. The air was cold "said Eugene while enjoying the cool breeze blowing towards him
" Your Majesty, there is a river with clear water, there is a beautiful view. Especially if seen at night" Liam said
" really? have you been there?" ask Eugene
" noble, I was there to get water" replied Liam
" As if I should take her to see this beautiful sight " murmured Eugene while thinking
" What do you mean by noble?" ask Liam
Eugene just smiled at Liam's question.
" Alright I understand that noble "Liam is smiling happily seeing Eugene in a good mood and looking happy
***
In the tent where the food was, the noble girls were cooking for the soldiers and the men who were there.
" Sucks, why do we have to do all this?" ask Anna to be upset
" We're a princess-to-be, we shouldn't be doing maid work" Lily complained
" You two can stop complaining no? you see Miss Arabella and Miss Megan, they just relax doing their job" Camille said
" Pardon us princesses" Anna and Lily said apologizing
" How can a person like them deserve to be my rival to be the crown princess? haa. "inner Claire underestimates.
The candidates for the crown princess divided each other's duties, some were cooking, washing dishes, taking water, and making the bed. They do the tasks in turn. And now it was Arabella's turn to fill the water into the river, she accompanied Peter to the river.
Aiden and Ashton were sitting quietly, watching Arabella and Peter from a distance.
" this river is very clear water yes" said Arabella fascinated
" yes, it's different from Clarines. The air was cold " said Peter
" Yes sister is right, flowers here are also very beautiful" said Arabella glad
" thankfully she had returned to smiling, meaning her mood had started to improve "peter's inner relief
Peter helps his sister take water from the river, and takes it to the tent of the candidates for the princess.
" It's done ? that all?" ask Peter
" Yes, there are only 5 buckets. Thank you brother " said Arabella
" Then let's go back to camp" said Peter
" Sister first, I want to see the scenery here first" said Arabella
" We go together, it's dangerous that you're here alone. Don't you have another job after this?" ask Peter
" Nothing, because it's all done. Brother go back first, I'll be fine. Must be Ethan's brother looking for brother "kara Arabella calming
" I do have a job, but when I left Abel alone on the river bank like this?" inner Peter
" I'll call Felix here to accompany you" Peter said with a sigh
" all right, just call him. I'm waiting here, I'm not going anywhere "Arabella said with a smile
" Yes, don't go anywhere " said Peter
Arabella nodded slowly. He saw that Peter was not seen from his sight anymore. The girl saw his face in the water.
" really.the water is really clear, even my face is also clearly visible here. The view here is also very good, the air is cool, suitable for a picnic. When can I have a picnic with my father and two brothers? they were always busy "Arabella muttered to herself
Arabella sat by the river and saw the clear blue sky, it was not so hot because it was late afternoon and the air was cool. The wind blew against her body, Arabella felt an overwhelming calm as she sat on the meadow. The calm waters of the river made her feel better.
" The land of the Vanders is truly beautiful, although its King is renowned as the most tyrannical and cruel demon in history. But, she could take good care of her kingdom "said Arabella gladly
" what is a compliment, miss?" said a man
" there's a man's voice behind me? who?" inner Arabella
Arabella turned her body, and she saw a man with a face full of bloodstains right behind her. The man was holding a sword covered in blood and a cloth containing something bloody.
" You who?" arabella was surprised
" Did I meet a hit man again? no, it's impossible, right? I didn't bring my sword .!!" inner Arabella panic
The man smiled creepily towards Arabella, and walked over to Arabella. The girl walked backwards, and finally fell into the river.
BYUR...
" Akh !!"
The man pulled out Arabella's hand, and easily pulled Arabella out of the river.
" Be careful, miss, you could die" said the man, looking at Arabella with sharp eyes
" It's interesting, usually the woman who sees me will run away, run away, scream, but this girl is calm. He's not afraid to die, but because I hate beautiful women like him, then he has to die" the inner man
" Who is this man with red eyes? he's so creepy, he's like he's been killing people. I must calm down" inner Arabella was a little scared
" Whose head are you cutting off, sir?" ask Arabella without fear
" Do I have to answer my lady's question?" ask the man cynically
" You've killed people, haven't you?" ask Arabella without a doubt
The man strangled Arabella with a cynical smile.
" You're crazy, aren't you? let go of me !" arabella thrashed asking to be released
" How dare you, speak to me in such a tone. Do you want to replace the head in this package? " ask the man with a sharp eye
" Fuck, this guy must have a mental illness suddenly strangled the "inner Arabella upset
With all her might, Arabella hit the man's vital point until he was in pain.
" Hey woman, you .." said the man annoyed
" What? you gonna strangle me again? I'm gonna scream now. If you dare strangle me again " said Arabella
Arabella and the man saw Felix walking towards them.
" Oh what a coincidence" said Arabella with a cynical smile
" If I see you again, I'll finish you off Miss " said the man with a smile
The mysterious man disappeared from Arabella's sight in an instant. Felix saw Arabella in shock, with wet clothes and blood on the grass not far from where she was standing.
" Miss, what's going on? did Miss fall into the river?" ask Felix
" Why have you been so long? I almost died knowing "the word Arabella was cold
Felix was astonished to see a strangulation on Arabella's neck.
" woman, who would want to harm the lady? what's that killer again?" felix asked worriedly and cautiously
" No, he must be here and not from Clarines" replied Arabella
***
The man cleaned his face in his luxurious room in the Vanders palace. He smiled to himself and recalled his encounter with Arabella.
" his Majesty, where have you been? we've been looking everywhere for you?" ask Cane worriedly
" I've cleaned up a little pecker. And I met a sweet little lamb" Dominic said with a cynical smile
Cane, the King's right hand, looks confused to see the king smiling cynically.
Her smile like that had a hidden meaning to Cane.
