The Arrabella Twice Lives
Chapter 38 Claire's Plan
The queen and the servant Deborah did not like to look at Arabella's messy and filthy appearance.
" What the hell is this?!" ask the Queen to be angry
Arabella dared to look at the Queen without hesitation. The noble girls, and the servants who were there, started whispering whispers talking about Arabella's appearance. Because according to tradition if people pay respect to the royal family by dressing dirty especially at official events, it is considered impolite and will get punishment.
" I'm sorry, noble queen, I am being disrespectful by dressing like this in the presence of her majesty. If your majesty can hear my explanation, I would be very grateful "said Arabella politely
" Mommy purposely looks for trouble for sister Arabella, I have to help my future sister-in-law this "inner Camille
" Mom, mother, it's better later brother Arabella explained. He would get the flu if he kept standing in such wet and dirty clothes. I'll take him to change clothes first, after that new sister Arabella can explain "Camille explained
" Daughter Camille helped me?" inner Arabella surprised
" Alright, then go get changed ! " excited the Queen looked cynically at Arabella
" Thank you for the noble kindness of Queen "Arabella bowed respectfully
" Look, I'm going to expose everything about your crimes. At that time you can not be arrogant again like this, the secret about the birth mother of Prince Aiden, I will unravel with the evidence "inner Arabella upset
" Why did Camille defend him? just pissing off the "inner Queen
Camille took Arabella to her residence and there she went to take a bath and changed clothes.
" Thank you princess, I'm very disrespectful to wear the princess's clothes. After that I did not bring any more clothes" said Arabella sadly
" I have to use Claire's way to protect myself from the queen's anger. Sucks "inner Arabella irritated
" Arabella's sister looks sad? was he being bullied by someone?" inner Camille felt anxious
" Sister.. are you okay?" ask Camille
" I'm fine princess "Arabella replied with a bitter smile
" Liar, clearly your face says there's nothing? we've become close friends like big brother, why don't you tell me?" ask Camille sadly
" Where dare I tell the princess, this is not a big problem really "Arabella replied with a clear face
" What's up? just tell me, who bullied you?" ask Camille insist
" No one bullies my princess" Arabella replied in a low tone
" Sister don't have to bother me, just tell me the truth. Otherwise I'll be mad at you !" exclaim Camille
" Alright alright, princess please don't be mad at me. Actually on the way here accidentally my train fell because it collided with Count Oscar's train, then I fell into a pool of water. So I'm like this "light honest Arabella
" If my guess is correct, Camille's daughter may already suspect there's some hidden purpose the Queen wants to make Claire the queen. I'll see his reaction "inner Arabella sharp
" Did Count Oscar deliberately do this to make Arabella's sister wretched? this must have been her relationship with the mother as well.meaning true, the mother and Count Oscar did indeed work together to get rid of a girl, and the girl was Arabella's sister "inner Camille was surprised.
" Arabella's sister, you take it easy. I make sure mom won't scold you, there I am. I'll talk to Mom and explain everything. It's not your fault, you're accidentally soiled in front of the Queen" Camille said
" Daughter, please don't be like this. I am indeed guilty of being disrespectful in front of the noble queen, please do not explain anything. Let me explain everything to your majesty "light Arabella sadly
" No ! let me just, you take it easy I'll talk to my mom" Camille insisted

When everyone was taking a break for a while waiting for Arabella..
Claire meets and talks to her uncle in a deserted corner of the eastern part of the royal palace.
" Uncle, do I have to do this?" ask Claire not to believe it
" this is the only way to tie the crown prince to your side. Oh, do you want Arabella to be the crown princess?" ask Oscar to scare
" No uncle, but is this the only way?" ask Claire
" Right, Claire you have to be brave ! " calling Oscar cheering
" Okay uncle, this time we must not fail" Claire said confidently
" Uncle has planned everything carefully, you just follow uncle's orders" Oscar said grinningly
***
Eugene looks tired after doing many tasks in his study.
" Your Majesty, if you are tired you can rest first" said Liam
" Well, I'll go back to my room and sleep. Last night I didn't sleep, I'll be back in 2 hours .. Don't bother me if there's nothing important" Eugene said as he yawned
" Prepare your majesty !" exclaim Liam
Eugene goes to his room, he sees there is a cup filled with tea on his table. He took the tea and drank it.
" drinking tea when tired is indeed very good, let alone drinking tea made in Arabella. When will I be made tea again by her." murmured Eugene hope
Instead of sleeping, Eugene instead felt his head getting dizzy and suddenly he felt that the air around him became hot. The man undressed due to the rage, he faintly saw the shadow of Arabella standing in front of him.
" Arabella.. are you here?" asked Eugene who was half conscious
" Yes, this noble one is me" Claire replied as she gently touched Eugene's two cheeks
" I'm sorry, I have to get you even this way. Because I love you so much, your majesty, even though I have to lose myself today, but that's fine.as long as I get you ! " inner Claire is full of confidence
" Arabella you're so pretty, so pretty.. " Eugene smiled at Claire
" Even when unconscious like this, you still think of the snake woman. But it's okay, after this you'll be mine "inner Claire is happy
Eugene loses consciousness and hugs Claire and kisses her cheek, thinking that the girl in front of him is Arabella in his shadow. The hard-nosed Claire is thrilled that Eugene is about to have more of a relationship with her, disappointed that Eugene is falling asleep instead.

The Queen's palace..
All the candidates for the crown princess have gathered there, including Arabella. Camille defends the girl dead in front of her mother and leaves the Queen speechless.
" Camille, why are you trying to protect that girl? " inner Queen is upset
Deborah whispered to the Queen like she was talking about something important. The queen looks surprised.
"What's wrong with the Queen's face? She look surprised? What else did the wicked woman plan?" inner Arabella
" I'm sorry, today the test for the crown princess will be postponed tomorrow. There is something urgent that Her Majesty should do" Deborah told the would-be princess
The Queen, Camille's daughter and Deborah's maid leave in a hurry to leave the Queen's palace.
" What's going on?" asked Anna curiously
" What's that urgent matter so that a test as important as this is canceled?" ask Lily
" Right, I'm also very curious. Does this have anything to do with Miss Claire? because she's not in place " said Megan puzzled
" Other than all of you are curious, how about we go along and see what happens" Arabella suggested
" Right as well, let's go" said Anna and Lily spirit
" Claire, queen.. What else are you planning, right?" inner Arabella
The princesses followed the queen who went to the crown prince's palace. Everyone including the servants, the palace guards and some nobles gathered in front of the crown prince's room, there was a commotion there.
" Is it true that the crown prince and the daughter of the Collete family did it?" ask the waiter 1
" Didn't you see? they're not even dressed at all !" said waiter 2
" How could the crown prince do that? I can't believe "Servant 3 said hesitantly
Shortly after, Queen and princess Camille come to Eugene's open-air room. They are so shocked to see Eugene sleeping with Claire and seem to be wearing no clothes on their bodies.
" I didn't expect Oscar's plan to be this extreme "the Queen's inner being upset
All of the commotion had somewhat died down after the Queen's arrival to the crown prince's palace. The would-be princesses also came to see the commotion and they were shocked to see what was happening inside Eugene's room.
" What ? didn't I see wrong ?" lily couldn't believe what she saw
" I also saw Miss Lily "Anna replied in disbelief
" Miss Claire and their crown prince.." Megan is speechless.
" I didn't think you'd do this, Claire. A lowly and dirty way, just like you in the past. You even sacrificed Eugene's reputation as crown prince, a really good plan. After this, there was no other choice but to become Claire's right as the crown princess. So this is how you get rid of all your competitors?" inner Arabella upset
" Miss Arabella, are you okay?" asked Anna who was surprised to see Arabella who looked upset and silent
" Miss Anna, I'm fine. I was just shocked by what I saw "answered Arabella
" After this we will inevitably have to withdraw from this test. Because it was clear who would be her crown princess" Megan said confidently
" It's true Miss Megan" Lily said
" I am indeed glad that I did not become the crown princess, and there is no need to bother asking the King.
But, I don't want Claire to be the crown princess either. If she becomes Queen, she'll destroy my family later, I won't die twice, I don't want to see all my family die a second time.. in the end I couldn't prevent it all! Everything remains the same ! " inner Arabella frustration and fear
Megan looked at Arabella's teary eyes and her trembling body, Megan felt anxious.
" What happened to Abel? she looks scared.Is she this way because she's jealous of Miss Claire? impossible, why should she be jealous, while Miss Abel herself did not like the crown prince" Megan was worried
" Miss Abel, are you okay?" ask Megan
" Miss Megan, like her I have to go first" replied Arabella trembling
" i'll drive you, just go with me" Megan said anxiously
" no, I'll go to the toilet for a second. I'll be back! just wait here "said Arabella who lost her sight, staring blankly at the direction in front of her.
Arabella left still with her trembling and frightened body. Megan looked at him anxiously.

Moments later, Eugene awakens from his sleep, he was very surprised to realize he was not wearing clothes and he was even more surprised to see Claire was already beside him and was crying over his body that was not wearing clothes with a blanket.
" Why are you here? why am I ..." Eugene looks confused
The queen approached her son and slapped his cheek hard.
PLAQUES
" Sister why are you doing this?" inner Camille was sad
" Mom .. why mom.. " Eugene looks confused
" SHUT UP !" shouted the Queen
" I'm sorry mother Eugene, mother must do this "inner Queen feels guilty
Deborah closed Eugene's bedroom door so they wouldn't be a spectacle of servants and bodyguards outside.
Inside Eugene's room, there's Claire, the Queen, Camille's daughter, Deborah and Count Oscar. They all look confused.
" What's really going on? Claire, my dear niece? what's the matter?" ask Count Oscar worriedly
" Uncle, I've lost it all. My honor I've lost it .." Claire replied as she sobbed.
" Explain one by one ! why can you do this to Miss Claire, crown prince?" ask the Queen sharply
" mother, I don't understand what I've done. I don't know anything ma'am " replied Eugene looking confused
" I don't remember anything, but I vaguely remember seeing Arabella here. What exactly is going on? why would I end up sleeping with her? I can't possibly do that with Miss Claire" Eugene's inner confusion
" Your Majesty, why are you doing this? I've said I don't want to .and after this the noble doesn't even admit it" Claire said emotionally
" Your highness the crown prince, my noble queen begs for his justice. Now that my nephew's reputation has been destroyed, how will you royal family handle him and take responsibility?" oscar asked while hugging the crying Claire
" What responsibility? I didn't do anything to her !" exclaimed Eugene sure
" Crown prince ! quiet ! you've done such a shameful thing and become everyone's spectacle, I'm so disappointed in you! mom, I'm gonna have a discussion with your dad about this. And it will be decided at night. Count Oscar, you don't worry the royal family especially the crown prince will definitely be responsible for what happened today !! " the Queen's light is full of decisiveness
" I'm sorry Eugene's mother, I sacrificed you to cover up my sins. But mother forced to do this, you will definitely be happy with Claire's "inner Queen depressed
" Will Miss Claire be made crown princess after this? is this the plan of mother and Count Oscar? if that's true to her plan, mom is really outrageous to sister. But, why they look so serious and not contrived, the mother also looks really upset "inner Camille is suspicious
Eugene is shocked and not understanding what happened before, he also does not remember what he did to Claire in his room. After that the people in the palace started gossiping about Eugene sleeping with Claire, the Queen tried to pressure the news about Eugene and Claire not to spread out of the palace.
The Queen went to the King who was resting in her room.
" Lord, how are you doing now?" ask the Queen worriedly
" I'm fine already" replied the King in a cold tone
" I have something to discuss with you" the Queen said seriously
" Yes, I have heard from the servants about the crown prince sleeping together with Miss Claire of the Collete family" said the King
" It's good that the king's majesty has heard of it, so I don't have to bother to explain it again. I asked what did the king think of this ?" the Queen asked while sitting next to the King
" I already know what the queen's mind is, and I don't want to argue with you anymore about this either. You know exactly who the girl Eugene likes, you know it's true that I want to support Eugene with that girl. But, because of the rumors and the crown prince's reputation as well the girl's reputation had already been tarnished. There's no other way, is there?" said the King sharply
" He knew what was on my mind "the Queen
" Right noble king, inevitably we must make Miss Claire as the rightful crown princess to protect the reputation of this kingdom" the Queen said to the point
" I agree "said the King coldly
" His Majesty the king, you won't ask anything more?" ask the Queen
" I want to ask what else, this has been planned by you and I also know "the King said with a cynical smile
" Your Majesty, you must not accuse me recklessly. What am I planning?" the Queen pretended not to understand
" Aren't you the one who insisted on making that girl from the Collete family Eugene's partner? it's definitely not all you want and you plan!" exclaims the King is upset
" Why do you always accuse me of this? yes, it is ! I wanted that girl to be the crown princess. But, this really wasn't my plan ! " The queen cried sobbing
" Stop that cry of yours, Queen. Get out of my room immediately, I want to rest " said the King no matter what
" What exactly is my fault? all this time I've loved you with all my heart.I've been doing my job of being a good queen, but why are you always so cold to me?" ask the Queen sadly
" It is true that you have performed your duty as a good queen for the people of Clarines, and it is true that you love me with all your heart. But, I can't love you Freya" said the cynical King
With anger the queen slammed the things on the king's table.
PRANGS
BRACKET
" Freya, STOP IT !" shouted the angry King
" WHY ?? and I have done everything for you ." said the Queen, weeping and sitting in front of the King
" stop begging like that, Queen." said the King.
" I just want your love but why are you so cruel?" ask the Queen sadly
" It's a consequence of loving someone who doesn't have any feelings for you. You should have known that from the beginning, you insisted on being with me. I'm disappointed in you, Freya, you want to repeat the same thing to our son. You want that girl to be the same fate as you ?" ask the disappointed King
The queen was choked and standing in front of the king, she looked at the man with sadness and was unable to say anything more in front of the King, he confirmed that maybe Claire will fate just as she suffered because she was with someone who did not love at all. After knowing all that the Queen still does not care, which he wants to keep his secret safe.

Arabella staggered like she was unfocused and seemed to have a lot of thoughts. Ashton and Ethan, who happened to see her, walked up to the girl.
" Abel, I heard there was a commotion in the palace? what's up?" ask Ashton worriedly
" Abel, are you okay?" ethan asked worriedly to see Arabella daydreaming.
The girl hugged her brother tightly.
" What's going on?" ethan asked as he felt Arabella's body embrace him
" Abel you're shaking, are you sick?" ask Ashton worriedly
" Sister.don't leave me. Please, I don't want .sister don't die.." Arabella hugged her sister tighter and tighter
Ethan let go of Arabella's embrace and asked her sister seriously, What makes her like this? However, the girl did not answer with certainty and only cried, with her body trembling like fear.
" Sister.don't.hurt.sister.. " The girl held onto her chest which was in pain.
" What are you doing?" ask Ashton worriedly
" Argh.. " Arabella cried sobbing until the very end she fell unconscious. Ashton swiftly caught him from falling.
" Abel !" ethan and Ashton were panicking
Ashton shook Arabella's suddenly unconscious body, looking anxiety on her face. Ashton held the girl.
" Ashton, let me take him !" exclaim Ethan
" No, I'm the only one holding her. I'll take him to the palace doctor's place" Ashton said
" All right, let's go there !" ethan is panicking
Lorenzo, intent on catching up with Ethan and Ashton, sees the unconscious Arabella being carried away by Ashton. He immediately ran over to Aiden who was chatting with other kstaria at the camp.
" Your majesty ! your majesty!" exclaim Lorenzo
" What's up ? you're back again? where's captain Ethan and vice-chairman? " ask Aiden wonder
" They were like her going to the place of the palace doctor "answered Lorenzo
" why go there? are they sick?" ask Aiden worriedly
" No, I saw them take Miss Arabella there !" answer Lorenzo
" What do you mean ? what happened to her?" ask Aiden to panic
" I don't know the details, which I saw Miss Arabella unconscious and vice-chairman Ashton holding her " Lorenzo replied
" Why with him? Let's just hope he's okay "inner Aiden is anxious
" I'll meet him" said Aiden hurriedly stepping away quickly
***
In the palace health room, doctors examined Arabella who was still unconscious.
" How's my brother Will's doing, doctor?" ask Ethan worriedly
" As Miss Arabella was in shock and knocked her unconscious, stress can be a major trigger" Dr. Will said
" Shock? stress?" ask Ethan doesn't understand
" But Abel is stressed why?" ask Ashton who is also confused
" The symptom that chief Ethan said earlier, chest pain or chest tightness. It's part of the mental shock, maybe something bad happened to Ms. Arabella before and she remembers it, it's what's stressful and it's making her sick" Dr. Will said
" Is that bad for her?" ask Ethan worriedly
" I can't be sure until I see Miss Arabella. However, if the circumstances are still the same as before, there is a way to make it better" said Doctor Will kindly
" What is that way?" ask Ethan
" Make Miss Arabella happy and forget the hard times that brought her shock" replied Doctor Will
" What has really happened to you Abel, what is it that makes you so sick? what makes you go into shock like this? what's going on ?" ethan is worried
" Abel, are you like this because you saw the crown prince and Claire together? that's why you were shocked and passed out like this? I hope I'm wrong "inner Ashton
Without them noticing, Aiden heard their conversation from the outside door. He was stunned for a moment and felt anxious at the girl, he wanted to knock on the door but he undoed his intention.
" Mental shock? is this because you're heartbroken to hear Eugene and Claire together? haven't you forgotten it? but you said you liked me "Inner Aiden hesitated
Apparently the two men, Ashton and Prince Aiden have misunderstood Arabella. Guessing that the girl was in shock because of Eugene and Claire, when in fact it wasn't. The two men looked sad as they still thought Arabella had feelings for Eugene.
