The Arrabella Twice Lives
Chapter 31 The birthday of the tyrant King
Arabella looks happy because her longing has been treated by seeing the people closest to her. Dominic was relieved to see Arabella looking happy.
" Hey .. Your Majesty, psychopathic king, you're not going to break your promise, are you?" ask Arabella seriously
Dominic looked at the girl seriously.
" While I'm not sure Eugene would do the impossible just to get me out of here. But still I have to be wary of this psychopath, he could deny it "inner Arabella suspiciously
" Why are you saying the impossible? does it make sense that the crown prince of Clarines would give me all I want just to set you free?" dominic asked dismissively
" it is certain that the nobles of Clarines would not agree with the crown prince's decision. I don't have to worry "inner Dominic's sure
" It's true too, but he shouldn't have spoken so "inner Arabella is upset
" Just answer if you have to keep your promise" said Arabella firmly
" Alright, as long as you're following me. I'll keep my promise " Dominic said as he looked at the girl gently
" did I not see wrong? she looks at me gently? where's that death-eye look?" inner Arabella amazement
Dominic treats wounds on Arabella's hands with his magic.
" It turns out that her magic can also heal people. It would be great if a person as strong as him was a good person" the inner Arabella was astonished
" Don't hurt yourself again, next time I won't treat it and your wounds will be exposed" Dominic said
Arabella turned her face away from Dominic. The king smiled faintly at her.
" I have to make this psychopath so he can move me to the palace. In order to make it easier for them to attack her. "inner Arabella thinks
***
Aiden, Eugene and the knights are planning to attack Gionda's tower at the resting place.
" So, you're saying that to trick her?" ask Aiden
" Yes, do you not see that King Dominic is a cunning man. Although we hand over Clarines, there is no guarantee for her to hand over Arabella ", Eugene said
" But why? what's the reason she won't hand over my sister, your honor?" ask Peter wonder
" It's really just my opinion, I feel that King Dominic has fallen for Arabella" Eugene said
" WHAT?? " The kstarians were shocked
" I agree with the crown prince. As we know, King Dominic famously hated women and always killed women who tried to get close to him. However, Arabella is still left alive until now. What else if it wasn't because he wanted Arabella?" aiden said sure
" Even if we give up her request, she won't give up Abel? what is it ?" ask Ethan
" Right, right now we should think of a strategy to attack Vanders' palace to distract him" Aiden said
" I agree with my brother, I'll have some soldiers make a mess in his palace, then he'll go to his palace then. After that some people will stay in the Gionda tower to monitor the situation and find a way to free it" Eugene said
" I'm sorry, your highness the crown prince, are you sure this will work? wasn't it in the Gionda tower that there was impenetrable protective magic ?" ask Ethan carefully
" I have something that could make the protector crumble" Aiden said
Eugene and all the kstaria looked at Aiden with wondering gazes. Aiden seemed to think of something.

At Lucy's house ..
" Prince Aiden, wait ." said Lucy calling Aiden who was about to leave
" What's up?" ask Aiden while turning his body
" I didn't know if it would be useful to you or not, but if King Dominic's magic protector was hard to penetrate you could use this" Lucy said, handing Aiden a red jewel.
Aiden was silent at the jewel.
" What are the benefits of this gem?" ask Aiden
" This gem can reverse time temporarily and can also weaken the magic protector even though it is temporary and time is limited. But, remember this gem can only be used once and you have to be quick " Lucy explained
" This will definitely be very useful, thanks for your help" Aiden said with a smile
" Good luck, may your loved ones be safe" said Lucy sincerely
" Yes, he'll be fine" Aiden said confidently
Aiden kept the jewel in the pocket of his robe.

The palace of Clarines..
Camille looked restless, she was walking back and forth in front of her room. The queen saw her daughter and approached her.
" What's this about Camille's daughter?" ask the Queen
" Queen's mother, good afternoon" said Camille greeting with an uninspired face
" Daughter, what is this? is something bothering you?" ask the Queen
Camille and the Queen sat in the garden chair and drank tea together.
" You can say, what's wrong?" ask the Queen
" Mom, why do the nobles disagree with brother's request to get sister Arabella released from the demon lord's place?" ask Camille curiously
" Dear, the nobles certainly won't agree. Since this concerns the future of Clarines, let alone this is only for a candidate for crown princess like her " replied the Queen sharply
" Mom, is it true what I'm guessing? Mother always speaks sharply when it comes to sister Arabella.Is it true that the woman you want to get rid of and eliminate is sister Arrabella?" inner Camille was suspicious
" Mom, but sister likes sister Arabella. He even went to the Vanders just to save her. Can't mom persuade dad and the nobles to do sister's request ?" ask Camille enthusiastically
" Do you think your brother's request was a simple one? you think the Clarines' demand is like asking to buy candy? Camille you better not interfere in this business !" exclaims the Queen is upset
" How can I not interfere, ma'am? because at first the one to be held hostage was me, I felt guilty at sister Arabella she was like this for saving me !" camille said firmly
" Haa.that's his own problem, let's just say he's unlucky. Or this may be his destiny, just assume he sacrificed himself to save you. You don't need to feel guilty. rescuing you is his own choice." said the Queen with a grin.
"Yes, it would be great if he died at the hands of that tyrant King. That way, my secret and Sir Oscar will be safe "inner Queen
The queen drank her tea casually, she saw Camille who was speechless after hearing her words.
" Haha. deserve it.." Camille laughed cynically
" Worthy what do you mean ?" ask the Queen
" It's just right, I always call the mother a woman who has no heart. Turns out I was right." replied Camille sharply.
The Queen throws the glass in front of her desk, until it breaks.
PRANGS
Some of the servants there saw him and were surprised.
" What do you mean talk so Camille?!!" the Queen shouted furiously
" I didn't know before, my mother who was always my role model would do things to harm others. I didn't want to believe it at first, but reality always hurts. Mom, do you have a heart?" inner Camille was sad
" Mom do you have a heart? if I were to be held hostage, would you talk like this too ?" ask Camille in pain
" Of course not, if you're the one being held hostage, I'll do anything to save you !" exclaim Queen
" Why did you say that to sister Arabella? Mom, answer me. Why do you hate sister Arabella?" ask Camille seriously
" This boy, why did he become like this? this must be the influence of that seductress girl she is similar to the j***g Canaria. Already teasing my son, now he's using my daughter as well to challenge me !" inner Queen is angry
" Mom doesn't hate her, dear you misunderstood." replied the Queen in a softer tone of voice.
" No, I don't lie. You hate him, don't you?" ask Camille seriously
" Mom, do you think I don't know if you're trying to make Miss Claire the crown princess. I really want to know why? and what did Count Oscar's mother and daughter hide ?" inner Camille
Camille cries in disappointment to find out that there are many secrets hidden by her mother, but she begins to learn the truth that her mother is not as good as she thought.
" Didn't mom ever think about sister's feelings ? she went to save the person who was important to her, did you ever think about how you feel when you hear this from mom ??!" camille was angry
" That damn woman, she's already managed to make my two children disobey me ! " inner Queen is angry
" Camille calm down, I don't hate it you misunderstood. Truly, " said the Queen with a face of pity.
" Enough mother ! mothers like her never felt how to protect the one they loved, so that's why they act cold like this" Camille said sadly
" Look listen to mother." said the Queen sadly.
" I don't want to talk to mom right now" Camille said as she walked away
" I need some time, to accept the fact that my mother is not as good as I think "inner Camille is sad
The queen clenched her hands in annoyance and she fell on the floor.
" his highness the queen, are you okay?" ask Deborah worriedly
" Why did you say something that hurt my mother, Camille? you think you never tried to protect the one you love? you don't know, how mom struggles to be next to your dad. "inner Queen is sad

Cane brought a beautiful dress to Arabella from the Vanders palace.
" What's going on? why are you bringing so many dresses?" ask Arabella wonder
" Miss, please choose which dress you like!" cane said excitedly
" Why should I choose a dress? like going to a party just "ask plain Arabella
" In fact tomorrow is a glorious birthday" replied the cheerful Cane
" What's a ?" Arabella was shocked to hear
" So the tyrant king had a birthday. Did I use this opportunity to do good to her? then he will set me free. haa.." Arabella's inner thought.
" His Majesty doesn't like it when his birthday is celebrated. But, since there's a lady here who knows that her majesty will be happy with her birthday" Cane said hoping
" Did she never celebrate her birthday?" ask Arabella wonder
" There was once a day when the late King celebrated the glorious birthday of the King.but .." Cane looks sad
#FLASHBACKS
Vanders Kingdom
Dominic 8 years old..
King Charles (dad Dominic) orders everyone in the palace to prepare a birthday party for Dominic. The boy seemed happy to know that his father cared for him even though his other siblings were mothers who always bullied him. It was the first time Dominic had a birthday party.
As Dominic celebrates his birthday lavishly, all the princes bully him by speaking to everyone present at the party that Dominic is the illegitimate son of a prostitute.
" Just an illegitimate child, why should his birthday be celebrated?" asked George (3rd prince)
" Right, what exactly was the father thinking so willing to celebrate the birthday of the illegitimate child" said Frezel (4th prince) ketus
" Where is the son of a whore comparable to us who is a descendant of pure nobility, isn't it crown prince Daren?" mike asked in a cynical tone (5th Prince)
" Maybe my father has pity on him who has been living outside the palace, so do not think about it "Crown Prince Daren replied casually
All the nobles present at the anniversary, so instead talk about the Vanders royal family for holding a luxury birthday for Dominic who is only the son of a prostitute. There was a furore at Dominic's birthday party, the intention of the King who initially wanted to introduce Dominic as an official royal member to the nobles, ended up humiliating the royal family because of Dominic's mother's status as a prostitute.
" That's great, how dare you embarrass the Vanders royal family by throwing a massive birthday party like this. Embarrassing, you son of a bitch" Queen Sheena said snifflingly to Dominic
" I'm sorry, noble queen, but my mother is not a whore" Dominic said, holding back his annoyance
" It's not what? you didn't hear everyone talking about him? or you won't admit it? you son of a bitch, you don't even want your own mother" said Queen Sheena cynically
Dominic looked at the Queen with anger.
" Please keep your words as queen, you say rudely as if you were of low status. My mother, not a whore !" dominic almost cried
" Father, what's my fault? why did you act like this to me?" dominic asked with eyes full of sadness
" Your fault is to be born into this world" replied the cynical King
" What? what do you mean father?" ask Dominic sadly
" From now on you can stay in the palace and do what you want, but never approach me again or the King's palace" said the King coldly
" Daddy..why..why is it like this, so why?" ask Dominic while crying
" I told you, it's your fault to be born into this world and to be born of a prostitute's womb. Everyone laughs at me because of you !" exclaim the angry King
The 8-year-old boy felt tremendous sadness on his birthday, so he thought that he should not have come to the palace if only to be ignored again. While he was being bullied and tortured by the princes, his father did not help him at all and only Cane was on his side at the time.
From that moment the innocent little boy turned into a cold, heartless child, he lost his innocent eyes, and he is always sad if he remembers his birthday even always angry when there are people who remind him of his birthday.
#END FLASHBACKS
Arabella is touched and her glassy eyes hear Cane tell her about Dominic's childhood.
" Saddened isn't it, miss ? his majesty the king used to be just a good and innocent child " said Cane sadly
" So that's the reason why the tyrant became evil and cruel. In the past I only knew he was being bullied by his brothers, but I didn't know it happened when he was a child. Had there been someone by his side who noticed him back then, he would probably have been a different person.Perhaps, that tyrant King was not entirely a bad person. Yes, before I run away from here I have to advise her to be better "inner Arabella is full of confidence
" It's like Miss Arabella is getting touched by my story. Hopefully, this will be good for the noble "inner Cane hope
" I'll help you celebrate her birthday, let's make her birthday is a special day for her and will not be forgotten" Arabella said passionately
" Who knows he'll let me go so easily, if I do good. Perhaps, his heart would be moved "inner Arabella hoped
" is she really going to do that?" ask Cane in disbelief
" Yes, but you said he didn't like it when his birthday was celebrated. That means that if I celebrate, he'll be angry, right?" ask Arabella confused
" If I told you that the lady prepared all of her, I'm sure your highness wouldn't be angry" Cane said confidently
" Cane, you're so sure. I'm not even a nobody to her, I'm not her family either, can you guarantee that she won't be mad at me? I don't want to be strangled again !" ask Arabella hesitating
" Feel me, miss!" exclaim Cane spirit
" Well tonight, you can take me to the palace, right?" ask Arabella
" Yes, I can "answer Cane
" Good, I better be there and not here. Because there is no magic of protection "inner Arabella happy
Arabella, Cane, Wen and the other servants at Vanders' palace prepare a surprise for Dominic's birthday that night. While the King was working on state affairs in his study. Arabella peeked at him secretly.
" He looks so serious at work, I guess he only knows how to kill people. If only the girls saw her figure like this, they would definitely fall in love with her. Because he's not bad to the eye "murm Arabella softly
" Hey miss ! what are you doing here?" wen said in whispers
" Oh ! Wen, you just surprised me !" arabella is shocked
" I'm sorry miss, the end of the missus is very serious to see the noble, even though from earlier I was here" Wen said with a smile
" Oh yes lady, by the way do you have a fiancee or a future husband?" ask Wen
" Why are you asking me that?" ask Arabella
" i just want to know " Wen replied
" I don't have one right now, I'm still waiting for the right person "Arabella replied seriously
" Really?" asked Wen pleased
" Yes, I was indeed waiting whether prince Aiden liked me or not "inner Arabella
" Will the lady begin to fall for her majesty ?she said she has no fiancee or future husband. ah. This is good news, I have to gossip again with other servants if the noble liking of Miss Arabella is not only one-sided. Your Majesty finally you have a future to marry as well. "inner Wen is happy.
Arabella was astonished and confused to see Wen who was smiling to himself like he was thinking of something funny.
" Wen, why are you smiling yourself like that? you scare me "ask Arabella in wonder
" Hehe's fine " replied Wen with a grin
" Oh yeah, how's the preparation? " ask Arabella
" Iya sudah selesai, saya kesini untuk memberitahu nona. Sebentar lagi tengah malam " jawab Wen
" All right, let's run our plan !" exciting Arabella
" Okay, miss !"
Cane approached Dominic in his study with a panicked face. Dominic looks annoyed because Cane comes to work nights.
" Her Majesty the king, please excuse me for disturbing !" exclaim Cane with a panicked face
" What are you doing here ? it's almost midnight ! just be careful if it's not important !" dominic is upset
" Your Majesty, something happened to Miss Arabella !" exclaims Cane
Dominic stood up from his chair and looked shocked.
" What's wrong with her?" ask Dominic
" Your Majesty, you better see for yourself. Come with me !" exclaims Cane
" Lucky that I was not killed by your majesty because it disturbed her at night, it turns out that the reason Miss Arabella really succeeded. I survived "inner Cane relieved
" If anything happens to her, you'll be out !" dominic exclaimed with murderous eyes
Cane takes Dominic to the back garden of the castle and it looks dark.
" Why is it dark here like never before?" inner Dominic wonder
" Cane, where's the girl? why did you bring me here? " ask Dominic wonder
Dominic sees that Cane's gone. Shortly thereafter, he walked towards the garden and every step he took he saw the light.
" What the hell is this?" dominic's mumbling was astonished
Dominic continued walking until in front of her stood Arabella with her smile in the middle of the light, wearing a beautiful sky blue dress. In her hand, the girl carried a decorated birthday cake. Dominic was stunned to see him unable to speak.
All of the castle's servants, including Cane and Wen were there and wishing her a happy birthday together.
" Happy birthday noble King .. Long life and healthy always !! " the servants and bodyguards said excitedly as they clapped, but suddenly they were all silent at the sight of Dominic not reacting at all.
Dominic was fixated with an expression that left the people there confused.
" Why is he expressing it like that? is he really angry ? dang ! I shouldn't have planned this "inner Arabella fear
" What will your majesty be angry?" inner Cane fretted
" How is this? why is his majesty silent? is this the end of the world !" inner Wen fear
" Happy birthday noble king Dominic" said Arabella nervously and trying to melt the atmosphere
Stunned by Arabella's happy birthday, Dominic walks up to Arabella and looks at her with a gaze the girl cannot understand.
" What does he want? is he going to strangle me again? I don't want to die twice !" inner Arabella panic
" Who planned all this?!!" dominic shouted half-stomping
Slowly all the servants and guards there fell silent in fear. Including Cane and Wen.
" Your Majesty .. actually I" said Cane would confess.
" I planned this. Wh why? you want to get angry ? just mad at me, they just obeyed my orders "Arabella said firmly
" This is a proposal from Cane, but this is my plan. And also I don't want them all to get involved in this king's anger, they're the ones who've always been nice to me during this "inner Arabella
" Everything can go, except this girl !" exclaim Dominic resolutely
" He's gonna be mad at me, right?" inner Arabella
All the servants and bodyguards leave Dominic and Arabella alone in the park.
" Mademoiselle, why did you do this to save us? miss well "inner Wen was moved
Dominic looked at Arabella with a murderous look.
" Why are you doing this?" ask Dominic
" What ? you want to be angry, right? I just meant to have a birthday party for you, I just wanted you to know that you should not feel sorry for being born into this world" Arabella said seriously
" .... " Dominic is silent
" You deserve to be happy, don't keep hiding from your wounds just because of your past. Because your life is precious !" arabella exclaimed as she looked at Dominic with feelings and sincerity
" You've been hiding from yourself, you have to start opening your heart.. The tyrant king "inner Arabella sincere
" He did this for me? he said my life was worth it?" dominic's heart is moved
" I don't care, she's either mad at me or not. I've said what I want to say, hopefully he understands "inner Arabella
" Can you say it again ?" ask Dominic
" What?" ask Arabella not understand
" Say once again, birthday greeting "Reported Dominic in a sad tone and a low voice
During this time no one has ever said happy birthday while advising her like this, usually people will say happy birthday to her just in the mouth alone without sincerity. But, he felt that the birthday greeting from Arabella contained sincerity in it and it was different if he heard it from others. An unusual taste, a sense of warmth was in the words of the girl whom the tyrant king had always craved.
" Why is his face like this? this is not the look of an angry face, but the face of a lonely person, there is sadness in his eyes. "inner Arabella also sad.
" Happy birthday, noble king Dominic.may you always be happy" Arabella said with a smile.
" Why are you making me flutter like this? I can't take it anymore. "inner Dominic.
Dominic pulls the girl into his arms and makes the cake the girl is holding fall to the floor. Arabella was shocked to get a surprise attack like this.
" Thank you .. for being present in my life" Dominic said softly
" Did I hear wrong? he said thank you, this demon lord said so? is the world about to end !" inner Arabella shocked
Secretly the servants and bodyguards saw them as if they were making out and they looked happy.
" Cane, look at that !" exclaims Wen
" It's really a miracle, your majesty is not angry at Miss Arabella ." Cane said in disbelief
" It's hard to believe, isn't it? that one day our king will fall in love with a woman" Wen said happily
" But somehow I'm not sure that Miss Arabella has the same feeling" Cane muttered as she thought
Arabella pushes Dominic and looks at him in annoyance.
" How can you do this to me? I've made it hard !" arabella exclaimed furiously at the sight of her cake falling on the floor
Dominic picked up the cake that had fallen on the floor and ate it.
" Eh.. Why did you eat her noble? it might be dirty !" ask Arabella in shock
" Let's not get angry anymore "Reply Dominic replied
" What? does that make any sense? don't eat anymore !" arabella's clamour holds Dominic's hand
Dominic held Arabella's hand and smiled softly, a smile that Arabella had never seen.
" You managed the little lamb, you managed to open my heart "inner Dominic
" Your highness .. hey psychopathic king!" arabella was shocked
" Your cake, it's delicious" Dominic said with a smile
" What happened to her?" inner Arabella shocked
