The Arrabella Twice Lives
Chapter 27 Gionda Tower
Everyone in the camp heard Aiden screaming with anger, so they all came out of the tent including Eugene.
Cane silently watched the Clarines from a distance, looking like he was lurking.
" What's the matter, brother?" eugene asked while looking in Aiden's hand was a letter
Aiden said nothing and immediately gave Eugene his letter. Eugene read the letter and a few moments later he was dumbfounded equal to Aiden's expression a few seconds ago.
" Bad fuck ! he thought he was who dared to rule the Crown Prince and the Prince of the kingdom of Clarines !" eugene shouted in anger
" How is this? Arabella was in the hands of the Demon King's "inner anxious Eugene
" Your Majesty, does this have anything to do with my sister?" ask Ethan to worry
" Is he really with the devil?" asked Ashton with a face full of anxiety
" Right, " replied Eugene with a sad look
" Your Majesty, if I may know what King Dominic wants in the letter?" ask Ethan
" He wanted to exchange Arabella for half of Clarines and for 1000 Clarines to work without pay in the Vanders" Aiden replied
The people who heard her were shocked, with the unreasonable request of the Demon King. Yes, from the beginning Dominic is famous as a cruel demon king and able to kill anyone. But his most vicious nature was, he was cunning. Before he gets what he wants, he will do everything he can to urge the enemy. Because Dominic lives by his own rules, he is an authoritarian leader against his people and unforgiving.
Aiden is upset to think about how the girl he likes is, he is afraid that King Dominic's threat will endanger Arabella.
Not just Aiden, the man who was made upset by Arabella, but Eugene, Ashton, Felix, and of course, the two older Arabella brothers.
" Why is the story different from the one before? camille should be taken hostage, not Arabella. What am I supposed to do? when King Dominic didn't act like he did in the past. Wait me.. Arabella "said Aiden in her heart she wished the girl well.

However, in fact in the prison Arabella was disturbed by some of the guards there.
" Miss, how about we have a little fun?" ask the 1st Guards with her flirtatious face
" You guys don't go crazy !" arabella exclaimed in annoyance as she walked backwards
" Anyone who has been brought by the King to the tower of Gionda will not survive" the 2nd Guards said
" What is Gionda Tower?" ask Arabella curious
" It's a death tower and hidden by magic, you won't be able to get out of here. Because everyone that the King brings here will definitely die" said Guard 2
" If this tower is protected by magic, why did you come here?" ask Arabella
" It's because the noble one can use magic and we are carried by his magic" said the 3rd bodyguard
" have ya asked her, let's have fun" said the 1st Guardsman with a flirtatious face
" No ! stop ! you can't. no !!" yell Arabella scared
" how is this? I must be able to fight.." Inner Arabella began to fear
The 3 prison guards tore off Arabella's clothes and held her hand violently and Arabella fell to the floor.
" Nasty. huu.. I have no energy .." Arabella's inner fear
The girl's body was limp as if exhausted, those men who had already tore up her clothes would move in another more intimate direction. But a red light cut their hands. The 3 men groaned in pain with their hands cut off and shed a lot of blood. Arabella was shocked to see him, and he tried to calm himself down.
" It turns out true, this psychopathic king could perform the magic of "inner Arabella surprised
" ARGH.. "
" How dare you touch her without my permission?!!" dominic shouted with his fiery red eyes staring in anger at the 3 men.
" Pardon us, your majesty !! GODDAMN !!" exclaiming the three bodyguards while kneeling with a body trembling in fear
" No pardon" Dominic said cynically
" dare to touch my toys, you must die "inner Dominic
Sure enough, Dominic mercilessly killed the three bodyguards and beheaded them.
Arabella was completely shocked, that day she saw a great deal of blood and murder in front of her. His heart was not strong to see him again, wanted to pretend calm in front of Dominic even he could not.
" Useful people" Dominic murmured while rubbing blood on his face.
Dominic saw Arabella's clothes were messy, torn, her hair was disheveled. Dominic walks over to Arabella. Arabella walked backwards.
" Stop ! stop it right there !" arabella exclaimed while holding her chest
Dominic stopped stepping and looked at Arabella, then he smiled.
" It turns out you can be scared too" Dominic said happily
" He's really a crazy psychopath, he kills people without the slightest doubt, what does he think human life is? does he have a heart?" inner Arabella wonder
" i won't thank you even if you help me !" arabella exclaimed
" I won't thank you for that, " said Dominic coldly
" Look at his face, he looks very pale still trying to be strong "inner Dominic wonder
" Basic tyranny is cruel ! Oh no, I'm so limp now "inner Arabella is upset
Arabella stepped forward, but she lost her balance. Dominic catches him quickly to prevent the girl from falling. Arrabella ends up in Dominic's arms.
Seconds later, Cane arrives and accidentally sees Dominic and Arabella looking friendly in his eyes. It turned out that Arabella had fainted in her arms.
" Your Majesty .. is he hugging the lady? no way, is that lady flirting with your majesty? his Majesty the King who hates that a woman approaches him, is touching him instead. Miss, I hope you survived "inner Cane's astonishment
Cane looks shocked to see 3 bodyguards on the floor.
" Hey little sheep! don't you pretend?" dominic asks the unconscious Arabella
" The body is hot "inner Dominic
" Your Majesty I'm sorry if I bother you" said Cane
" It's good you're here, take her to the room" Dominic said as he pushed the unconscious Arabella towards Cane. Cane caught Arabella quickly.
" A.what? the chamber? but why?" cane asked confusedly
" You're beginning to question my orders. Like her lately I've been too soft on you" Dominic said with a murderous look
" Okay, ready to do it ! I won't ask again " said Cane obediently
" Take the healer to check it out, and get these smelly corpses sorted out" Dominic said
" Ba.good your highness" said Cane
" Oh yes, your majesty, there is something I must report about the crown prince and Prince Aiden" Cane said
" Let's talk after you're done with your business" Dominic said firmly
" Good noble "Cane respect politely
Cane, as Dominic's right-hand man and one-on-one loyal friend, is surprised that Dominic has let a woman in Gionda's tower live longer. As far as he knows, Dominic does not like women and will kill women who bother him that there is not even a single woman living in his palace, all servants and bodyguards as well as cooks in the kitchen are men. This time Cane thought that Arabella might not bother him too much and be allowed to live longer.
Deep down, Cane wants Dominic to feel the warmth and love of someone to stop Dominic from becoming a tyrant and evil demon in the land. But, can it be? and who can make Dominic change? dominic's only reason for happiness may never be. Because during his life, Dominic always suffered.

Within 2 days of travel..
Eugene reached Clarines and discussed the matter of Arabella to the King.
" What? why would King Dominic ask such an absurd thing?" asked the King
" It's true father, therefore I beg you to be safe Arabella, I can't see her being held hostage by the Demon King" replied Eugene with teary eyes.
The king is touched to see Eugene so attentive to Arabella and he can feel Eugene's sincerity for Arabella and Eugene's feeling for Arabella is love.
" Looking at you like this, I remembered a time when I had pleaded for Canaria's safety to the late king who had previously been "the inner King was touched
" Alright, of course I will help you the Crown Prince" said the King happily
" Can't be so noble ! " exclaimed the Queen who suddenly appeared in the King's room
" Mom ?" said Eugene
" You can't just decide, Your Majesty. Can't you give up some of Clarines to King Dominic and sacrifice a thousand for a girl? What do the nobles say later? don't we have to negotiate it first?" The queen argued
" My chance of getting rid of her will be greater, the better she will be for a long time with that demon and die "inner Queen feels hopeful
The King wants to help Eugene to save the girl he loves, but after hearing the Queen's opinion, the King thinks that the queen is also right. The nobles would not just agree with his decision to cede part of Clarines and a thousand people to the kingdom of Vanders.
As a king, he had a great responsibility. Every decision must go through consideration and must listen to the decisions of the people as well
The king also experienced what is called a DILEMMA...
A few minutes later..
HORN
Eugene opened the door of the King's office. Aiden was waiting for him and saw Eugene's unkind look on his face. The man could already guess that Eugene had not managed to persuade his father to give up what King Dominic wanted.
" How? it didn't work, did it?" ask Aiden
" no. Even the King also forbids us to attack the Vanders kingdom " replied Eugene limp
" Of course, it is clear that the nobles will not agree to this" Aiden said
" What should we do now? I don't even know if Arabella is okay or not ? and what the demon lord did to her "Eugene looked frustrated
" Why am I not comfortable that she's watching Arabella like this? is your feeling real or not? you didn't like her at all, did your feelings for Arabella change, Eugene?" inner Aiden was worried
Aiden gets rid of his jealous thoughts and he will focus on saving Arabella secretly and teaming up with her love rival.
Due to Eugene's request which the nobles and most of the people disapproved of, Eugene moved on his own without the help of the royal soldiers. He held a private meeting to save Arabella. And the people who took part in the meeting were Ethan, Ashton, Felix, Peter, Lorenzo, Demian, and some white knight soldiers who were willing to volunteer to help Eugene. Even Aiden also brought some tough soldiers from his sword camp to help Arabella.
But one of the biggest problems in the Arabella rescue effort is when they all find out that Dominic the Demon King can perform powerful red magic.
" I, Demian, and Mr. Ashton are already doing reconnaissance at the Vanders palace. However, we did not find Miss Arabella there" Lorenzo said
" really? you guys sure he's not in that palace?" ask Eugene
" Right, my majesty, we believe that Miss Arabella is not held in that palace" Ashton replied confidently
" So the rumor that King Dominic has magic, is that true?" ask Peter
" Yes, that's right "Aiden replied
" Prince, Your Highness the crown prince, please save my sister" Ethan said earnestly
" We'll definitely save her, we'll save her with Captain Ethan" Eugene said to appease Ethan
" Abel, you're really lucky that a lot of men have looked at you like this, they've been trying so hard to find a way to keep you safe. His highness the crown prince and his Highness the Prince to the point of not sleeping and eating for 2 days just because of your "inner Ethan
" You should be fine, Abel "inner Ashton wishes
" Miss, lady will definitely be fine right?" felix asked in his heart with hope
***
In the Gionda tower, Arabella looks sad and moody. The girl was just sitting on her bed daydreaming, she looked bored.
Dominic and a male servant saw him from a distance.
" It's been 2 days, and miss Arabella continues like this, your majesty. And today tried to escape through the window 15 times, and tricked the guard 20 times, now he looks tired.even his hands are also injured because of constantly trying to escape " said Wen (one of the king's servants who was assigned to guard Arabella during the Gionda tower stay)
" Yes he must be tired from trying to escape. You can go " Dominic said
The waiter, named Wen, left Dominic in Arabella's room. Arabella looked at him cynically and with a dislike, she turned her face away.
" You're too naive a little lamb, an ordinary human like you won't be able to escape from this tower so easily, I'm telling you yes. If you try to escape again you'll die" Dominic said in a cold tone
" This psychopath king must have told me this to laugh at me. It's a shame because I tried to escape so many times but it didn't work, I want to dig a hole and hide there now out of shame" Arabella's inner shame
" You don't have any manners huh? you should have knocked on her door before entering, even more so this is the women's room" Arabella said
" What am I polite to a prisoner for" Dominic said cynically
" Yes, right? I'm the prisoner here" Arabella's inner self is getting upset
When the girl shows an expression of loneliness and sadness, Dominic starts to get annoyed with it. He recalled the words of Cane, that Arabella received abundant affection from the people of Clarines. Many were worried about her when she was kidnapped, the Crown Prince and Prince Aiden to the point of noticing her. Cane argues that the two great men from Clarines have fallen in love with Arabella. Dominic's curiosity is getting bigger, he wants to know and is curious what charm is owned by Arabella so that it can make both great men from the kingdom of Clarines can fall in love with him.
Seeing Arabella's moody expression, he asked Cane's opinion so that Arabella would not look glum anymore.
" Your Majesty, I didn't hear you wrong, did I? you're asking for advice from me so that Miss Arabella doesn't get moody anymore?" asked Cane
" Yes right" Dominic replied
" woah woah, your majesty, it turns out you can pay attention to women as well" said Cane with a happy smile.
" You don't think the no-no. I'm doing this because I don't like to see his expression it's "Dominic replied coldly
" Haha.. oh so is that right?" cane asked in disbelief
" What do you mean you look at me like that? " ask Dominic annoyed
" Okay, I'll stop. I would advise your majesty, I think Miss Arabella is bored of being cooped up in the tower, maybe Miss Arabella needs the atmosphere outside" said Cane
Dominic seems to think.
" What should I do then ?" ask Dominic
" Bringing Miss Arabella, a walk out is a good thing and it looks like she will be happy too" Cane replied
" stroll? that means we have to go out of the tower?" dominic asked confused
" Your Majesty your expression is so funny" Cane murmured
" What did you say?" ask Dominic
" No no. I mean your highness doesn't have to go outside the tower. Use your magic to create that cozy atmosphere, as far as I know Miss Arabella likes roses "light Cane
" Then what?" Dominic is confused
" Oh my goodness, I mean you can use magic to create a flower garden !" exclaiming Cane while sighing
" Is so.. "Dominic muttered while thinking
" your majesty, you've come to think of a way to make Miss Arabella happy. It's not like you, are you going to change your majesty?" inner Cane hoped
In her room, Arabella was trying to escape through the window again, but she was frightened by the sudden high descent.
" Why is the downward distance getting higher? yesterday was not like this, this must be the work of the noble psychopath !' Arabella gets angry herself
" It's okay, I have to be brave.I miss Clarines. I miss Prince Aiden, I miss Ashton, I miss Layla, Daisy and Felix... I miss all . I want to go "inner Arabella feel sad
Arabella had already stretched out the rope she had made for her escape plan, she was about to go up the window and was intending to go down. Suddenly, Arabella screamed in pain.
" O UGH !!!"
" What is this? like there's electricity !" inner Arabella panic
The girl fell out of the window.
" Am I going to die again? like these? " inner Arabella felt sad while closing her eyes.
Quickly, Dominic was already below him and caught Arabella who had fallen, Cane was shocked to see him.
" The stubborn girl "thumbed Dominic
Hearing Dominic's voice up close, Arabella opened her eyes slowly and she was shocked to see Dominic holding her.
" Do you really want to die?" dominic asked with a look of anger
Arabella soon descends from Dominic's sling.
" What is this? why is he helping me?" inner Arabella shocked
" Miss Arabella are you okay?" ask Cane
" I'm fine "Arabella replied with a shocked face
" Miss Arabella you must be careful, everything in this tower is already using the magic of the noble one. If you run away, your own life will be in danger" Cane said seriously
" It's worth it, I tried many times to run away but still had difficulties. There are even things I can't think of with my logic (it doesn't make sense)" Arabella said
" Like I'm too kind to you, you always piss me off.." Dominic looked at Arabella seriously
" I won't apologize or thank you, because you put me in this situation" Arabella said
Dominic strangles Arabella, Cane looks surprised to see him.
" Let go of me. You crazy man ! The psychopathic king !" arabella with a stammering voice
" Your Majesty, release Miss Arabella.she can die !! " cry Cane worried
" Sa. sick.. " Arabella is in pain
" He really wants to kill me?' inner Arabella
" This girl why it always makes me lose control, she always pisses me off and gets distracted. Though I shouldn't care at all, I even thought of a way that he wouldn't show me that sad expression again.why am I disturbed .." Dominic's mind was disturbed.
Dominic stops his strangulation and releases Arabella.
" uhukk...uhukk." said Arabella, coughing.
Dominic pulls Arabella's hand violently and drags her, Cane still follows her.
" What are you doing? release !" arabella rebelled
The girl stopped rebelling when she saw the beautiful flower garden before her. And he was stunned to see those beautiful flowers. Cane smiled at him.
" When was there a flower garden like this here? I've never seen him "Arabella murmur softly
" How do you like Miss?" ask Cane
" It's very beautiful, the flowers are also very beautiful" Arabella smiled happily
" Just this time I saw him smiling like this, somehow I felt good to see him "inner Dominic
" His Majesty the King is the one who prepared this beautiful flower garden for you" Cane said
The girl glanced at Dominic with a look of doubt, her eyes as if saying "how could this heartless man do something to make prisoners like her happy?"
Dominic could have guessed that Arabella wouldn't believe him, but he felt enough to see Arabella smiling in front of him. Cane is also happy to see Dominic starting to open his heart to someone.
Dominic continued to watch Arabella playing around in the park happily. He even did state duties while continuing to pay attention to the girl.
***
After hearing King Caesar's proposal, about a sorcerer who knows about Dominic. Aiden and Eugene immediately rushed to meet the sorcerer who was in Londo, they searched for the sorcerer and traveled to Londo.
" Sister, did I hear you grew up in Londo?" eugene asked curiously
" It's true" replied Aiden
" Are you happy?" ask Eugene
" Why are you asking me something that sounds weird to me, your majesty ?" ask Aiden wonder
" I just want to know, because it looks like your life is fine without living in the palace "said Eugene honestly
" That's right, I'm happy despite living in Londo as a commoner. And actually I never wanted the prince's status either" Aiden said honestly
" Why then did you take the prince's status when you said you didn't want to?" asked Eugene in surprise
" It's because I want to protect someone "Aiden replied
" And.who is he?" ask Eugene
" A girl who is being kidnapped "Aiden replied with a smile
Eugene was stunned to hear her.
Lorenzo and Demian, who heard Aiden telling the truth about his feelings for the first time.
Both of Aiden's good friends were happy to hear him, because then Aiden was aware of his feelings for Arabella and would not just retreat.
