...CHAPTER 42...
...MATCHMAKING...
...(.( Illustration of Peter De Reese )...
At the dance....
Seeing the situation of his brother who was so desperate, Peter also desperately approached the two men who were almost feuding and tried to mediate them.
" Her Majesty King Dominic, please put my brother down !" exclaim Peter sharply
" Sister, thank goodness you came" Inner Arabella felt relieved
" It's your fault why you're so popular, if it wasn't because you were going to cause a state war, I wouldn't do this either" Peter's mind was upset
" I will be with my brother, your Majesty please put me down" said Arabella slowly
" help from my sister? all right, I'll let you go this time "inner Dominic
The tyrant king was finally willing to remove Arabella from his sling. Aiden's face looked calmer than before.
" Don't think after this our business is done huh !" aiden is upset with Dominic
" I don't think it's over either, the story's still in motion." Dominic said casually
" You already have his heart, but you're dancing with another man instead" Dominic's heart was upset
" You have it, prince, your majesty the king, do not quarrel. Many people saw him " said Peter whispering to the two men.
" If these two men were to fight now, Clarines' palace would be destroyed. Or even worse the two kingdoms would be destroyed because of them. Let's just say I'm saving the country now "inner Peter
" Sister, take me away." whispered the girl to Peter.
" Okay, let's " said Peter
Arabella and Peter walked away from the two men, not far away the girl was walking and would fall because her legs hurt.
" A !"
" Be careful !" dominic and Aiden together
Simultaneously the two men held Arabella's hand so that the girl would not fall.
" You, let go of her hand !" exclaim Aiden
" You let go !" exclaim Dominic resolutely
" They're like 5-year-olds, my God "inner Arabella is upset
" Geez, are they really a king and a prince?" peter's inner wonder
Their showdown ends when Peter takes Arabella away from the two men.
After seeing the incident everyone at the party started gossiping about Arabella, King Dominic and prince Aiden. Duke Reese, looks unhappy to hear the rumors about his daughter.
***
In the palace's resting room..
Peter treats Arabella's sprained leg at the dance.
" You're almost making a big deal for the two great newly reconciled empires" Peter said, wrapping Arabella's right leg in a bandage
" What am I doing?" ask plain arabella
" Aih. You are yes. Don't talk about it anymore, does your leg hurt?" ask Peter worriedly
" Yes a little sick" replied Arabella
" Why can you dance with the Demon Lord? brother Ethan and the others are angry to see you close to him. You must have known clearly the reason " said Peter seriously
" It's not usually Peter's brother who likes to joke, to be serious like this" said Arabella astonished
" Of course, I'm serious about you. I love you "Peter smiled warmly
Peter sat down next to Arabella and began to talk seriously with her sister.
" Before Ethan's father and brother ask you this, I wonder who you like between Prince Aiden and King Dominic?" ask Peter
The girl was stunned by her brother's sudden question, to the point without a cue. He seems confused to answer.
" Sister I actually like...
BRACKET
The sound of the door opening stopped Arabella who was answering Peter's question. The sister turned her head towards the person who opened the door just like that.
" Dad ! "Arabella immediately stood up in shock when she saw the look on her father's face that did not look good
" Dad, what's wrong?" peter asks who realizes that Duke Reese's face looks bad
" Abel, you must not be with King Dominic or Prince Aiden ! because dad wouldn't approve of her !" duke Reese is angry
" Dad!!" Arabella was stunned to hear the spontaneous speech that came out of her father's mouth with such firmness
" What happened to dad? he looked very angry "inward Peter was shocked
Ethan is seen running from the outside in a hurry, he approaches Duke Reese and his two younger siblings.
" Dad, relax ! we're talking at home, it's still in the palace" Ethan said calmly
" Okay, we're talking at home. Abel, you come with me home now" Duke Reese said firmly
" dad, but the party's not done yet." said Arabella in surprise
" HOME HOME!" duke Reese shouted half-stomping
" Dad, relax !" peter was shocked
" dad.. " Arabella was astonished to see her father so angry
" Abel, you go home first with your father and Peter "so Ethan whispered to Arabella
" Yes sister "said Arabella according to

Meanwhile in the royal hall, the party is over and Dominic faces King Caesar as well as Queen Freya.
" Greetings to King Caesar and Queen Freya" Dominic said
" Thank you for your glorious presence King Dominic" said the King kindly
" I didn't expect that he would attend my invitation. Didn't he ever attend an event like this?" inner King astonished
" i am also pleased to receive an invitation from your Majesty the king, I apologize if my presence was so shocking" Dominic said
" It's okay, the important thing is that you come. It is an honor for us because King Dominic himself attended the coronation party of the Crown Princess" the Queen said kindly
" no wonder he was called the demon king, his aura was so powerful and so domineering" the inner Queen in her heart
" I am very happy and grateful when his Majesty King Dominic decides to make peace with Clarines" said the King happily
" If it wasn't for him, I would never have made peace with anyone" Dominic said with a smile
" Him ? she who?" ask the King wonder
" Arabella Naomi De Reese, she is the one who awakened and remembered me to be a real human being" Dominic replied gently.
The King and Queen were stunned to hear Dominic say softly as he talked about Arabella. Dominic's unexpected expression was what stunned the King and Queen.
After a little chat with the King and Queen, Dominic approached Eugene and Claire who were still sitting on their thrones.
" Long time did not meet Crown Prince Eugene" Dominic said in greeting
" It seems you can already greet people properly now" said Eugene grinning
" I brought you a gift and the crown princess, congratulations on your marriage" Dominic said with a faint smile
" Thank you " said Eugene
" No no, I should be grateful. I'm very happy with your marriage and congratulate you sincerely, because my rival is reduced by one person" Dominic said happily
" What did you say?" eugene asked in shock
" Is he still obsessed with Arabella?I think he's already given up "inner Eugene's shocked
" The piano is safe" Dominic said with a smile
" He's taunting me !" eugene was upset
" Thank you once again" Eugene said in annoyance
" It's funny, seeing him holding back such anger. "the inner Dominic was comforted
" Thank you for the wedding gift you gave us, your Majesty King Dominic" Claire said politely
" together, I hope that you will last forever. Must be yes !" exclaim Dominic enthusiastically
" Thank you" Claire said with a friendly smile
Dominic returns with a cold expression and he walks out of the palace, accidentally crossing paths with Aiden and Ariana.
" It's nice to meet you Demon King Dominic" Ariana said as she saluted
" Don't bother greeting, I'm not happy to see you" Dominic said cynically
" You know each other?" ask Aiden curiously
" It just so happens that there's a prince Aiden here, I think you two are very compatible" Dominic said coldly
" Are you right? we are very suitable, thank you for your noble judgment King " said Ariana agreed
" What do you mean ? " ask Aiden annoyed
" This girl really sucks "inner Aiden is irritated
" So he's your new guy ? you think you're gonna make it?" dominic asked Ariana
" You better not talk too much, Majesty ! " say, Ariana doesn't like it
" If she unravels my secret, then I can't get this handsome "inner Ariana upset
" What does his Majesty mean the King? can you explain?" ask Aiden
" i just want to say, don't be fooled by her pretty face. She was a poisonous woman" Dominic said with a cynical smile
" Brazed, you devil !" ariana was upset
" Please pay attention to your words King Dominic, I am a royal princess. You're not afraid that our diplomatic peace treaty will be broken because of you?" asked Ariana to threaten
" Oh, you want to threaten me? I was not a king who cared about such things. I could have colonized your country that easily now, if you still dared to threaten me !" Dominic grinned and showed a murderous look at Ariana
Ariana looked scared, even trembling when she heard Dominic's words, Aiden watched it carefully and thought that there was something strange with Ariana.
Their conversation ends when Ariana forces Aiden to drive her to the room because she is not feeling well.
" Your highness prince, I'm a bit unwell. Please, take me back to my room" Ariana said, holding her head as if she was ill
" He was like this again, just like that time. "inner Dominic grinned
" You're the Princess' servant, right? " ask Aiden to a waitress who's behind Ariana
" really noble prince" replied the servant named Berry
" Take the princess into her room, like she's unwell" said Aiden coldly
" the prince is really creepy "inner Berry is scared
" Good prince !" berry
" I'm sorry princess, you go with your servant. I still have business " said Aiden cynically
" Isn't that disrespectful to the prince? " said Ariana annoyed
" I'm sorry, Your Honor, if you're not feeling well you should quickly rest. I'll call the doctors" said Aiden coldly
" Why is he acting this cold in front of the demon lord ? make me ashamed, just wait for you prince! I'll make you fall in love with me sooner or later "inner Ariana is upset
Ariana and her servant go to their room.
Meanwhile, Aiden invites Dominic to talk alone in private.
" Cane, you just go. Wait for me outside !" dominic said
" Good noble " replied Cane obediently
" What's the prince? " ask Dominic
" i will not talk much with the King, I want you to stay away from Arrabella" said Aiden sharply
" On what basis do you forbid me to approach her?" ask Dominic wonder
" I just found out he has a possessive side, I think he's a "inner Dominic
" I'm talking this way because I have a strong reason, he has chosen me and at this moment I am his girlfriend" Aiden said
" Then ? because you're her lover so she can't get close to another guy?" ask Dominic
" What did you say?" Aiden's stunned
" As long as he is not married or officially engaged to anyone, there are no restrictions that do not allow him to be close to other men. " Light Dominic sharp
" So you mean you still haven't given up? even though you know he chose me ?" ask Aiden not to believe it
" That's right, prince, don't forget, someone's heart can change. " Dominic smiled
" he's trying to heat me up ? I know that one's heart can change, but Arabella won't be so "inner Aiden is upset
" Her Majesty the king, my feelings and Arabella are not as thin and it is not that easy to destroy" Aiden said resentfully
" Why are you talking like this? are you afraid I'll shake his heart? or do you not trust him?" dominic asked with a faint smile
" Not because of that. I speak like this not because I don't trust him, but I don't believe in you !" exclaim Aiden firmly
" a straightforward answer, I like "inner Dominic
" If you believe him, you shouldn't be afraid I'll take him" Dominic said
" But I still don't believe you !" exclaim Aiden
" I knew from her that you were lovers, but I also told her that I would keep chasing her. You know what he said? he said he believed that he would not waver his feelings from you, and he told me to try to catch up with him if I could ", Dominic said
" He really talks like that? " the murmured Aiden was moved
" I didn't expect that Naomi would say that to this Demon Lord, it meant that she believed in me and her feelings for me. Glad to hear her trust me that big "inner Aiden relieved
" I could've killed you so easily, and then taken her away from you, but I didn't want to do anything to keep her away from me, why would I be this willing? Am I starting to have a heart? " inner Dominic is upset himself
" We've been talking up here" Dominic said coldly
" Wait, I still have questions! what do you mean that Ariana's daughter is a poisonous girl?" ask Aiden curiously
Dominic sighed for a while, and he didn't explain much about Ariana. Dominic says that Ariana used to tease him, but it didn't work so they hated each other. Ariana is an ambitious girl who wants to make all men bend their knees to her.
" Be careful when you're around him, oh yeah don't forget. If you still haven't formalized your relationship with Arabella, I'll still pursue her "challenging Dominic
" You won't have that chance" Aiden said confidently
" Lookily "said Dominic dismissively
" Hopefully, the poisonous girl did not disturb your relationship, if I knew she touched Arabella, then I would not just shut up "inner Dominic
***
In the Reese mansion, Duke Reese looked extremely angry and his face was solemn as he spoke to his daughter about the two men close to her.
" Why is Dad like this? you hate them?" ask Arabella wonder
" No, I don't hate them! I just don't like you getting involved with the royal family or getting married to a member of the royal family" Duke Reese said
" Dad actually I like someone from the royal family" Arabella said
Peter and Duke Reese are stunned to hear this.
" Whoever is not allowed! I've received applications from some noble men, I think one of them will suit you" Duke Reese said indisputably
" Dad ! I told you there's someone I like !" yang Arabella resolute
" And I also said, I don't want to be denied ! connecting with the royal family will make you suffer and it will not be good for you ! understand me, I'm doing this for you !" duke Reese
" But dad..He's a good man, dad.. " Arabella tried to persuade her father
Duke Reese who put on a face could not be denied, and it made the two children speechless. Inevitably Arabella had to make the match to please her father.
" Sister how is this?" ask Arabella confused
" I didn't know that Dad would be so against you, and be hard on you like this" Peter said in surprise
" Well, what should I do? dad won't even listen to me !" exciting Arabella
" Let's relax, you just follow what Dad said and go to the match. The rest let me do his "Peter smile like I have a hidden idea
" Uh? what's brother's plan, right?" ask Arabella curious
" Later to explain, just follow it for now. " Peter is smiling
***
The next day, Daisy and Layla woke up Arabella and put on makeup. The girl looked lazy and uninspired.
" Mademoiselle, you have to dress up pretty" Daisy said
" It's a big day for the lady to choose a partner" Layla said happily
" why are you so happy? is this a good thing?" ask Arabella wonder
" Of course we are happy, because after joining the matchmaking event maybe the lady will get married soon" Daisy said happily
" So you're happy if you're not in this house anymore?" ask Arabella grimly
" No. It's not so miss " said Daisy and Layla together
" i'm just kidding, why are you so serious" said Arabella sullenly
" What happened to Prince Aiden if he knew all this? no, he must not know "inner Arabella fret
" Oh yes Daisy, Layla don't let this news get to the palace huh" Arabella warned
" Let's just relax, miss, Mr. Duke said that he didn't say anything about this to anyone" Daisy said
" thank God, I think dad will tell the people in the palace. So she won't hear anything " said Arabella glad
***
At the palace of Clarines, Aiden was about to go to his sword camp and intended to pick up Arabella to join the camp with him.
Before he went to his lover's house, he plucked a rare purple rose with his own hands.
" I've never given her flowers, she'll definitely be so happy "inner Aiden while engrossed in flower arranging
" Her Majesty, why don't you just tell the servants to do it. You don't have to bother " said Demian in wonder
" For my girl, I'll do it myself" Aiden said casually
" Your majesty, like her you've really fallen in love with Miss Arabella, to the point of not paying attention to other women anymore" Lorenzo said with a smile
" I loved her for so many years, my feelings for her were not superficial. " Aiden smiled happily
Ariana and Berry approached Aiden and immediately took the flowers that Aiden had assembled.
The servants saw her and misunderstood that Aiden was giving flowers to Miss Ariana.
" Thank you, your highness, the flower is so beautiful" said Ariana, kissing the purple rose
" unexpectedly a beautiful princess like her seduced the noble. His noble charm was indeed extraordinary "inner Demian was amazed
" Sure she's a princess, but her behavior is unjustified "inner Lorenzo doesn't like
" What the hell are you princess?" ask cynical Aiden
" This flower is for me, right? although I don't like purple roses, but if it's from you I like it. Oh yes I tell you, next time if you want to give me flowers. Give me Lily flowers, I like that" Ariana said with a smile.
" Let's see, are you still going to be quiet looking at my beautiful smile?" inner Ariana
The girl looked forward to Aiden's reaction and response, but the prince remained cold to her.
" He's a shitty woman "inner Aiden
" What's this reaction?" ariana was upset
" I'm sorry, so this flower is for me?" asked Ariana with a sad face
" ..... " Aiden just shut up
" fuck, he dares ignore me. Ariana, calm down, at least the waiters have started gossiping it's good "inner Ariana.
" Ooho. such a trick would be useless in the presence of the noble "inner Demian belittles.
" Well, here's the flower I returned. This must be for someone right? " said Ariana while thrusting a flower in her hand
" Haa. the flower is for your majesty only, anyways I don't want the flower that has been touched by another woman I leave it to my lover, it's not good" said Aiden cynically
" So, your highness the prince already has a lover?" asked Ariana, pretending to be surprised
" Right, your highness the prince already has a lover. " Lorenzo helped Aiden answer him
" I permit go, your highness princess" said Aiden coldly
Aiden leaves just like that and it makes Ariana very upset because of Aiden's firm rejection and cold attitude towards her. However, he is increasingly interested in Aiden and wants to get his.
***
Lorenzo and Demian were astonished that the crown princess's coronation was over but Ariana was still in the palace. It makes Aiden increasingly dislike him, like there is an ulterior motive from his arrival, he also thought about Dominic's words to him last night. Aiden's two loyal bodyguards assume that Ariana may be interested in Aiden.
A few moments later..
The Reese mansion..
Aiden was so surprised to see in front of his lover's house there were 6 men while carrying gifts and flowers were standing in front of Arabella's house like queuing for something.
" what is this? why are there so many noble men here?" ask Aiden in shock
" Your Majesty, do I need to find out?" ask Lorenzo
" No, let me find out for myself "Aiden replied upset
Carrying a bouquet of newly bought roses on the way, Aiden walked behind the men in line. The prince listened to their talk about a soul mate's search for Arabella.
Aiden was very upset to hear her and jealous.
" Your Majesty, calm down ! maybe it's not what you think!" demian was panicking
" I'm surprised, Your Majesty, why did the Duke hide this from the palace ? What might be as I thought .." Lorenzo thinks
Aiden seemed to think of something.
Felix, who was watching the queue, saw Aiden and greeted him immediately.
" Good morning noble prince, lord Lorenzo and lord Demian ." said Felix politely
" Good morning Mr. Felix" said Demian and Lorenzo kindly
" What's this about, anyway? is it true that Miss Arabella is choosing a husband?" ask Demian carefully
" In fact this is the plan of the Duke." Felix replied in doubt.
" Do I have to say that mister Duke had a fight with miss last night?" inner Felix
" his majesty who is silent like this is very scary "inner Demian is horrified
" His majesty said nothing, meaning he was very angry "the inner Lorenzo felt cold
Arabella was still in her room and she looked dizzy. Daisy and Layla call him many times but are not heard
" After being forced and after I think carefully, I don't want to go out and meet them !" arabella exclaims frustration
TOK TOK TOK
" Is there a sound of people pounding on the window glass? what is Ashton's sister "inner Arabella think
" Sister Ashton, you are a habit ! didn't you tell me to come in through the door !" arabella shouted while opening the window of her room.
He was so surprised to see the look on Aiden's face that looked angry in front of him.
" Her Majesty the prince .." Arabella is slow
" jeez, what did I say just now? he must have heard it, right?" inner Arabella fear
" It's great, her lover came and got a welcome with another man's name" Aiden said coldly
Aiden clenched his hand in annoyance, the other hand holding a flower. Arabella looked confusedly at the man.
