The Arrabella Twice Lives
Chapter 30 Missing

The two princes of the kingdom of Clarines, and some of their subordinates seem to be discussing about how to open the magic protector in the tower of Gionda.

" Your highness prince, are you sure it's really protective magic?" ask Ethan

" Right, when I stepped foot in that place, my body bounced off by itself "Aiden replied confidently

" If that's true, then chances are Arabella is in that place. But, we can't see it " said Peter assuming

" Have you tried to put your magic into that protector?" ask Eugene

" Already, but the protective power is very strong. Like her we have to combine our magic power" Aiden said

" Alright, then let's go there" Eugene said

Eugene, Aiden, Ashton, Peter, Felix, Ethan and Lorenzo go to see a tree that marks the protection magic.

" This is the place?" ask Eugene

" Right, this tree is the limit" replied Aiden

Eugene walked up to the tree and tried to touch the protector with his finger, as soon as his finger burned like a fire.

" Your Majesty!" peter, Ashton, Ethan are panicking

" I'm fine" Eugene said as he looked at his burning finger

" i told you, this is the place. In this place I heard his voice " said Aiden

" whose voice?" ask Eugene

" Arabella" replied Aiden confidently

Peter, Ethan, Ashton, Felix and Lorenzo were stunned to hear her.

" I'm sure, I heard his voice and also felt his presence here" Aiden said confidently

" In that case, we should try to combine our strength to penetrate his armor" Eugene said

Aiden and Eugene use their magic power to penetrate the protective magic. They looked exhausted and sweaty, then they both bounced together.

" Her Majesty the prince! your highness the crown prince!" the men were panicking

" We're fine" said Aiden soothingly

Aiden and Eugene looked shocked as they suddenly saw a tower in front of them.

" Did you see that too?" ask Eugene Aiden

" Yes, I saw it. Arabella must have been there ", Eugene answered smiling happily

" His tower may have been seen, but its protector is still there" Aiden said

" Now we must..

Eugene's words came to a halt as Dominic suddenly came before them, with a cold and flat face, but his eyes were sharp.

" That's it, king Dominic" said Ashton stunned

" He looks strong" said Lorenzo

Aiden and Eugene are shocked to see Dominic standing before them.

" I didn't think you could see my hidden tower so easily" Dominic said

" Why do they have magic? as far as I know they don't have magic, what is MANA power ? impossible, MANA will usually appear when someone is desperate and in danger." Dominic's inner thinking

* MANA: in Austronesian language means "power of efficacy "dignity "strength here is often considered a supernatural power "

" Where is he?" eugene looked intently at King Dominic with dislike

" Haa. where is he what's his business with you guys" Dominic replied cynically

" This guy really sucks "inner Ashton

" Let us see him, we have to make sure that he is okay" Aiden said

" Have you guys come here with what I want?" dominic asked coldly

" We can't grant her, but the girl has nothing to do with any of this. We hope you will cooperate and release him "Aiden said firmly

" If you don't give me what I want, why should I work with you?" ask Dominic wonder

" Even though you give me what I want, I will also never free his "inner Dominic

" The base of the cunning king "inner Eugene was upset

" You can't negotiate !" peter was angry

" Peter, be patient !" exclaim Ethan

" Sister ! this guy just makes blood go up !" peter was angry

" If you're not here to bring anything, you better just go. After that I'll just go back and I'll consider freeing Arabella" Dominic said coldly

" He has nothing to lose at all "inner Ashton

" That means we didn't have to come here to help Miss ?" inner Felix was worried

" This king is really hard to talk to "inner Lorenzo

" We want to see her, don't you hear?" eugene asked annoyed

" He must be in there, but how does "inner Aiden think

Aiden and Eugene stared at Dominic sharply and with anger.

***

The girl tried to escape, but the more she tried to get out of her room, her hands and body became scarred.

" Miss, please stop ! you've been hurt a lot" Wen said worriedly

" He really wanted me dead, didn't he? so just let me die, the important thing is that I get out of here !" arabella exclaimed

" Miss, miss misunderstood. His Majesty the king cares deeply for you, he is afraid that if you go out it will be dangerous for you" Wen said persuading.

" caring? if she cared about me she would have freed me from here, she was so because her wish had not been achieved" Arabella said sadly

" Miss ..you have not understood the noble king completely. Didn't miss see that your majesty the king always obeyed your wishes all this time ? that means she cares a lot about miss ", Wen said

" What Wen said was true as well, as long as I was here without me knowing he always obeyed all my wishes, even though I was always angry with him. He always does a lot for me, except when I ask to go home he doesn't allow it. Does a tyrant like him have a heart? " inner Arabella thinks

" Good, like her lady has started thinking about her majesty the king "inner Wen

" I admit it's a fact that his majesty always hurts others and does evil to others, but as far as I know he never did evil to the lady or harm the lady right?" asked Wen with a clear face

" yes, even though he strangled me several times he never did anything bad to me. But, this is not my home and I have to go home. Because he came to save me" said Arabella

" What do you mean, lady, the man she was calling a prince?" ask Wen

" Right, he is an important person to me "Arabella replied with a feeling

" Miss Arabella like her has feelings for the man earlier, then what if her highness finds out? " inner Wen

" Prince Aiden, you've come all this way to help me. I'm very happy, even though we haven't made up yet. When I get out of here, let's talk and we make up. After I got separated from you, I was sure that I liked you. No matter you are prince Aiden or teacher Cedric, "inner Arabella is sincere

" Wen, help me get out of here. Please, you must know the way without her protection magic ?" ask Arabella to beg

" Miss, I don't know " Wen replied

" Jen !" arabella exclaimed

" I'm sorry miss, even though I know the place, I don't want the lady to leave. If the miss leaves perhaps the noble will return to his old nature. I can't let your majesty return to the darkness, after this time she started to be on the path of light "inner Wen felt guilty

" I know you lied to Wen, but why are you the same as her? why don't you want me out of here?" arabella is sad

The girl tried several times to get out and escape from the tower, but the protective magic was impenetrable and she ended up getting hurt instead. Wen was forced to tie Arabella so that she would not try to escape again and hurt herself.

" Wen, let me go ! why are you doing this?" ask Arabella upset

" I'm sorry miss, I don't want the lady to hurt herself" Wen replied feeling guilty

" By tying me up?" ask Arabella upset

" Yes, miss, I'm sorry. I don't want to be punished your majesty because miss is hurt" Wen replied

" He'll be happy if I get hurt, so just let me go !" exciting Arabella

" Miss, you're like her yet to understand her majesty" Wen said with a sigh

" I have to find a way to trick Wen and the tyrant king, to open his protector. In order for Prince Aiden and the others to enter this tower, I must go to the extreme "inner Arabella thought.

***

Outside the tower, there is a fight between Aiden, Eugene and Dominic. Apparently the two princes of Clarines had run out of patience with King Dominic. Actually, they're stalling for time to figure out how to unlock the tower's armor.

" Stop wasting your energy, you are not my opponent" Dominic said with a cynical smile and attacked the two princes with his magic.

Eugene and Aiden started to get exhausted from using their strength too much.

" His strength is indeed not to be underestimated "inner Eugene.

" How is this, Eugene and I are already getting weaker and we have not found a way to penetrate his protectors.. Naomi must be there "inner Aiden's anxious

" Your magic is too weak, to resist my power "inner Dominic underestimates

" The prince and the crown prince are in a state of urgency. We've got to do something distract King Dominic" Ethan said to his friends

" Yes !" exclaim his friends

Ethan, Peter, Felix, Lorenzo and Ashton fight Dominic as much and as they can. However, Dominic easily throws them all with magic that comes out of his eyes.

" I told you, don't waste your energy fighting me" Dominic said with a murderous look

Soon Cane arrives, approaching Dominic with a panicked face.

" Your Majesty, sniff ! " cry Cane panicked

" What's up?" ask Dominic

" Miss Arabella, she's..." Cane looks nervous

Hearing the name Arabella mentioned, not only Dominic was astonished, but Aiden, Eugene and the soldiers also felt shocked.

" Say the clear Cane !" dominic is upset

" He hurt himself to break through protective magic, until he was unconscious ! " answered Cane

" Stupid girl "inner Dominic

" You! how dare you hurt Arabella !' eugene is angry with Dominic

Aiden, Ethan, Peter, Ashton, and Felix are all visibly alarmed to hear from Cane that Arabella is unconscious.

Dominic and Cane just leave, they see Arabella in her room with Wen. Arabella was unconscious and tied up, and her body was covered with wounds.

" Your Majesty." said Wen with a frightened face

" How do you look after her ? She got like this ??!" dominic shouted while hitting Wen until he fell

BRACKET

" Pardon me, my majesty, I am guilty.. " Wen kneeled

" Why did you tie him up?" ask Dominic's angry

" seeing that your majesty is angry like this upon seeing the state of Miss Arabella, I'm sure now that her majesty cares deeply about her "inner Cane is sure

" I was forced to bind her noble, because Miss Arabella kept trying to escape and hurt herself" Wen explained

Arabella opened her eyes and regained consciousness.

" You're up? Cane, get the doctor !" dominic is worried

" Good "

" No, just leave me like this to death !" arabella looked intently at the tyrant king

Dominic looked at Arabella angrily and his hands strangled Arabella.

" Do you really want to get away from me? to do something dangerous like this "inner Dominic hurt

" Your Majesty !" cane and Wen were surprised to see it

" His majesty is very angry but why look at his eyes, he looks so sad "inner Cane does not understand

" I'll keep trying to escape, if you don't unlock your magic protector. Even to death I have no problem "said Arabella casually

Dominic unties in Arabella's hands, his heart aches to see the girl do dangerous things just to escape from her. Arabella was stunned as Dominic stared at her with an unusual gaze, a gaze full of resignation and heartache.

" Why is he looking at me like that? " inner Arabella dumbfounded

" You want to meet them, right?" ask Dominic

" What does it mean to meet them?" arabella's inner thought

" Who ?" ask Arabella

" If I get you to meet them, you have to promise me." Dominic said

" What do I promise?" ask Arabella not understand

" Please promise not to ask to go" Dominic replied seriously

" I know it's not easy to convince her, even though I've been hurt like this. He still wants to keep me here, so why is he? I don't understand. didn't he already know that holding me here won't get what he wants? why is he still holding me back that is of no use to him?" inner Arabella wonder

" Well, let me meet them and talk to them for a while" Arabella agreed

" All right, it's okay. I'm definitely going to get out of here, though it's not the time now. "inner Arabella

" If you don't keep your word, I won't hesitate to kill them all" Dominic said

" Yes, I understand "the word Arabella

" I'm sorry, I can't let you go Arabella. Even though I can't get to the Clarines territory, I won't let you go either. I'll keep you by my side, even with threats" Dominic's mind is sad

Dominic brings Arabella down the tower of Gionda.

Aiden, his two brothers, Felix, Ashton, Eugene and Lorenzo were so surprised and happy to see Arabella in front of them.

" I can finally see them, I've missed them "inner Arabella happy

" Abel !" exclaim Ethan, Peter, Ashton at the same time

" Arabella !" eugene and Aiden

" Miss .." muttered Felix in surprise

Dominic holds Arabella as if he does not want the girl to go away from him and does not want to let go of her.

" Remember, don't cross his protective line if you still want them alive" Dominic said

" Does this demon king really have a heart? like Wen and Cane said? does he care about me? no, no way.." Inner Arabella hesitated

" Alright, you have to keep your promise. You can't hurt them "said Arabella seriously

" Yes "Reply Dominic replied

With an unwilling look, Dominic allows Arabella to talk to her family and friends. But he knows that Arabella will hurt herself if Dominic doesn't do what he wants. Dominic wants Arabella to be happy, just that he doesn't know how to make her happy or just the wrong way?

Yes, as Wen the maid said, Dominic had always followed all the wishes of the girl even though sometimes her requests were unreasonable. Dominic even goes against his logic of hating women, only to please Arabella during her stay in the tower of Gionda. He wanted the woman to be comfortable at his side, and did not say to leave.

Dominic himself wasn't sure what that feeling was? is that love ? or is it an obsession ?.

He admitted that he himself may not have a heart, since with his own hands he killed many innocent people. But, he began to feel the presence of the girl slowly starting to break his heart, and made his locked heart start to open. Subconsciously, sometimes he lost his logical mind when he was near Arabella and used his heart more. However, the tyrant King still does not know his true feelings for Arabella.

***

Arabella sees Eugene and Aiden hurt, she looks anxious. Aiden and his two older brothers walked closer to Arabella and the protective boundary.

It's not far from there that Dominic and Cane saw it.

" Eugene and Prince Aiden were injured, trying to penetrate this protector many times. For the sake of saving me, they walked this far "sad inner Arabella

" You guys don't come any closer ! " calling Arabella held back her tears

" He tried to escape by injuring himself, why did you do this ?" ethan is sad

" Abel, are you okay? Did that evil king hurt you? " peter asked as he looked at his brother's scarred body

" Yes, I'm fine. He didn't hurt me, I hurt myself "Arabella replied

" Abel, wait for us soon" said Ethan holding back his tears

" I'll wait, you guys just calm down. How's dad doing?" arabella asked while trying to smile

" Dad.he's fine. You don't have to worry about us " replied Peter.

" Sister Peter, I know you lied to me to calm me down. "inner Arabella is sad

" Thank God, you should always take care of your health. Don't worry about me, I'm fine here "Arabella said with a smile

" How can you be okay? your face looks sad so "inner Ethan is sad

" Oh my God, I'd love to hug them right now.. But, I can't "inner Arabella feel upset

" That tyrant king, I swear to behead him! he had already made Arabella hurt "inner Eugene full of anger

Arabella smiled looking at the men who were staring at her with sad and longing gazes.

" Arabella" said Aiden, staring at Arabella, filled with longing.

" ... " Arabella looked at her with sadness

" There's a lot I want to say to you, so you can't hurt yourself, you have to be fine so I can say it later" Aiden said sadly

" Yes, I'll be fine. I will wait for you to save me, I am always waiting for you. So, you should not get hurt because of the many things I want to say to your majesty . I am serious, " said Arabella with a smile.

" Right now I'd love to hug you Naomi "inner Aiden is sad

" All right, I promise. Let's practice the sword together again after this "Aiden said with a smile. Arabella answered with a smile.

" I wish I could tell you my feelings sooner, but I still have to wait until you're okay "inner Aiden

" I don't know why I'm so moved to see them like this. Isn't it obvious that they love each other ?" lorenzo was sure

The tyrant king saw Arabella talking to Aiden, annoyed and jealous. Dominic approached Arabella and looked at her sharply.

" I'm not done talking to them !" arabella exclaimed

" That's enough, you want them dead?" Dominic whispers to Arabella

" I can't let him talk any longer with them, especially prince Aiden "inner Dominic is angry

Arabella resists her frustration and complies with Dominic out of fear of his threat.

" Brother Ethan, Brother Peter, Brother Ashton, Felix, crown prince, princes Aiden and Lorenzo, I am fine. You guys don't worry about me "Arabella smiling at the men who look at her sadly to calm them down.

" King Dominic ! you must keep your promise, if I manage to persuade all the nobles in Clarines to give up the territory and a thousand citizens for you, you will release Arabella" Eugene said seriously

Aiden, and the kstarians were astonished by what Eugene said.

" Eugene, what do you mean exactly? didn't Clarines disagree !" inner Aiden astonished

" What does the crown prince mean? will he return to persuade the nobles and the King's majesty ?" inner Ashton astonished

" Did he just say? or did he really want to give up this demon lord's wish just to free Abel?" peter thought

" The nobles and highnesses of the King have already agreed not to give this Tyrant King what he wants, why would crown prince Eugene say this?" ethan's inner

" Eugene, what did he say? he couldn't possibly give this psychopath's absurd desire "inner Arabella

" For the sake of this little lamb, Crown Prince Clarines himself intervened to help him. Seeing their enthusiasm I became more and more eager to have this little sheep, "inner Dominic

" Well, I'll let go if you bring me what I want" Dominic said with a cynical smile

" If you lie, I will declare war with the Vanders" Eugene said seriously

" For Arabella's sake, I'll do anything" Eugene said

" In that case, I'll wait for you guys" Dominic replied casually

" As long as we haven't arrived, you should take good care of Arabella without any injuries" Eugene said

" Well, you can meet me at the Vanders palace" Dominic said with a cynical smile

" What if Eugene really did that for me? what will happen to Clarines? what will the people of Clarines say ?" inner Arabella fretting

Dominic brings the girl back into Goinda's tower and confines her in his room.

Aiden, Eugene and the knights realized that they could not do much for Arabella because they could not defeat the powerful Dominic and could not be underestimated. Even the borrowed magic power Eugene and Aiden had was still unable to defeat Dominic.

Eugene seems to have a big plan.
