At Clarines' palace, Claire and Eugene are ordered to meet the King together.
The two of them met the King and Queen to greet him.
" Greetings to the king and to the Queen" Claire and Eugene said
At first glance the king saw Eugene's face that looked sad and unhappy.
" I know you're not happy about this marriage, Eugene. But, I can't do much for you either. "the inner King is sad
" How is the crown princess? is the state job hard for you?" ask the King kindly
" Not at all noble, I am very happy to be able to do all the duties of the state because this is my duty. In the future I will try even better to do everything ", Claire explained
" Is that so? I'm glad that the crown princess is happy" said the King with a smile
" Good, at least the king thought of me and was friendly to me, unlike this son of his. I must remain in harmony with Eugene before the King and Queen "inner Claire
Claire held Eugene's hand, and it was obvious that Eugene didn't like her.
" Of course I'm happy, the crown prince also helped me in doing the task given by her majesty the queen "Claire smiled fakely and held Eugene's hand tightly
" This child is obviously not right, but he is trying to look harmonious with the crown prince in front of us, I feel a little pity for him "the inner Queen feels pity
After the royal couple finished giving their greetings, they immediately walked out of the royal hall. Eugene brusquely brushed Claire's hand away. Liam and Claire's maid named
" Stop ! it's enough " said Eugene coldly
" Who was she always like this when I was the crown princess for?" inner Claire is heartbroken
" Your Majesty, because I have no work today. Let's take a walk "Claire friendly
" i'm busy, you just walk with your waitress there. Or take Princess Ariana ", Eugene said, giving advice
" But I want to go for a walk with your majesty, ever since we got married, we haven't spent time together and a walk" Claire begged
" I said I'm BUSY ! yes, don't bother me. If you have the time and really want to go for a walk, then just go yourself " said Eugene cynically
Eugene and Liam leave Claire and her servant named (Yona ). Claire looks hurt to see Eugene's treatment of her, even more so when she hears the servants' rumors in the palace about the quarrelsome royal couple.

News of Arabella being almost kidnapped and assaulted was widespread among the nobility. Word of mouth, everyone talked about it and the news arrived at Aiden who was at the camp.
" Did you just say? " ask Aiden who is playing with a sword
" Your Majesty, the people at the market said that last night there was an attack and the victim was Duke Reese's daughter" Demian said
" That means Miss Arabella?" asked Lorenzo in disbelief
" Where was I when the attack took place? I stayed here and slept comfortably.What kind of lover am I?" aiden felt guilty
Without speaking and showing an anxious expression, Aiden rode on his horse and prepared to leave.
" Your majesty ! wait ! what about us?" ask Demian
" Lorenzo's coming with me, Demian you're here first !" aiden is in a hurry
" Good, your majesty ! " said Lorenzo and Demian in unison
" it turns out that leaving the palace is not the right thing, why am I even here just to avoid the princess?' aiden's mind is upset
Aiden and Lorenzo go on horseback to Reese's house. However, in the middle of the journey, they see Dominic and Cane who are already in front of them using teleportation magic belonging to the tyrant King.
" You're here apparently" Dominic said staring intently at the man
" We'll just talk later, Your Majesty, I'm in a hurry now" said Aiden cynically
" You must have heard the news about Arabella? I'm here to meet you on purpose" Dominic said
" Do you know what happened?" ask Aiden
" We'll talk for a minute" Dominic said coldly
Aiden and Lorenzo get off their horses. The Prince and King of the Vanders spoke in another corner, while Cane and Lorenzo saw them from afar.
" They look serious" Lorenzo muttered
" How not ? this is about Miss Arabella" Cane confirmed
" You're right too" Lorenzo said with a smile
" What did Prince Aiden think? how could she just leave Miss Arabella?" ask Cane wonder
" It's not like that, you don't talk carelessly if you don't know anything" Lorenzo said angrily
" It's true, isn't it? she was a lady's lover, but she wasn't there when the attack happened" Cane said
The two royal guards glanced at each other dislike each other.
While the King was talking to Aiden and their conversation was about to end.
" Thank you for taking care of her when I wasn't around " said Aiden sincerely
" You're wrong, it's not me who should get your thanks" Dominic said
" What? then who saved Naomi?" ask Aiden
" Thank you to Mr. Ashton, he thwarted the abduction and saved Arabella" Dominic replied
" Him? well, thanks to you too for being by Naomi's side when I wasn't around. But why didn't you tell me earlier ?" ask Aiden annoyed
" That's because I don't know where you are. I'm going back to the Vanders today, please take care of Arabella yes" Dominic said seriously
" No need to say that, without you telling me this is my duty" Aiden said with a smile
" just remember, if I'm still your rival" Dominic said flatly
" He will always be loyal to me" Aiden said confidently
" oh yeah, look at it later. " Dominic smiled
After the conversation, Dominic and Cane say goodbye to Aiden and Lorenzo. Dominic and Cane borrow the train at Aiden's sword camp to return to Vanders. Because he had already used a lot of his teleportation magic that day and he would become weak if he continued to use it.
Cane looked at the king, along the way smiling at Arrabella's bracelet.
" His majesty seems very pleased, as her bracelet from miss Arabella makes her back the spirit of "inner Cane happy
" It's okay to go back to the Vanders and you're here. We will definitely meet again " Dominic said in his heart

That morning after finishing breakfast, Arrabella went to sit in the living room. He sees Felix always standing by his side, and even the guard at Reese's mansion is tightened because Ethan is going to the palace.
" Felix, is it true I can't go outside? not going for a walk either?" ask Arabella

" Thank you miss "Felix smiled
" Seeing the lady is fine I've delighted "inner Felix
Shortly after, Daisy tells Arabella that Dominic has come to see her. The girl was shocked to discover Dominic had come to her house, even though she had learned from Ethan that Dominic was coming to see her that morning.
" Please sit down, your majesty the king" said Arabella politely
" Woah.you turned out to be quite polite and good at entertaining guests huh" Dominic said mockingly.
" Your Majesty, please don't test my patience well. I could be angry again "said Arabella
" Want to get angry? please, you can call me a psychopathic king, a tyrant king or a mad king like the past" Dominic said casually
" Because I miss you calling me that when we were together in Gionda's tower "inner Dominic
" Your Majesty, you're getting a little annoying !" exciting Arabella
" How are you doing ? " ask Dominic
" I'm fine, I heard from Ethan's brother that you're going to be here" Arabella said
" Yes I'm here to give you this "Dominic gave a mirror to Arabella, the girl took a mirror with a unique gold engraving beside her and in the mirror there was a red gem.
" Isn't this the Gionda Tower? wah .. her jewel is beautiful .." said Arabella praising
" It's not about its beauty, but its usefulness" Dominic said
The king explains that the mirror is a magic mirror that can connect Arrabella and Dominic.
" If you're so desperate and need help, you can call my name 3 times and reflect in that mirror then I'll come" Dominic said seriously
" What? has he? but why would something as valuable as this you give me?" ask Arabella wonder
" It's worthless, the mirror is just one of my toys in the castle warehouse" Dominic replied evasively
" In fact it's very precious, I made it with my red magic "inner Dominic
" Can I have her?" ask Arabella
" Yes, consider it our parting gift ", Dominic replied
" farewell? where is your majesty going?" ask Arabella
" i'm going back to the Vanders today, the monsters in the North are multiplying themselves and are starting to approach the settlement. I have to save them ", Dominic said
" So that monster can reproduce themselves? it's gonna be dangerous, are you gonna be okay?" ask Arabella worriedly
" Are you worried about me ? or doubt my abilities?" ask Dominic
" No. I can't doubt your abilities, you're so great. You are the demon king " said Arabella with a big smile
" How could I be willing to leave a sweet creature like you here? let alone handing you over to prince Aiden's "inner Dominic confused
For the first time Dominic stroked the girl's blonde hair gently.
" What are you doing?" ask Arabella confused
" I have to do this so that my heart can calm down a little bit." Dominic said looking at Arabella seriously
" Do what?" ask the girl does not understand
The tyrant king embraced Arabella softly and feeling like a farewell hug.
" Your majesty." - shrewdly Arabella
" Take care of yourself, remember to call me if you really need help, because I'll come whenever you call me" Dominic said gently
" I don't want to part with his "sad inner Dominic
" This demon lord, why could he say such gentle things?" inner Arabella wonder
Dominic gives up his arms and steps away, but Arabella stops him. The girl gave Dominic her homemade bracelet and put it on.
" What is this?" dominic asked while looking at the black bracelet
" This is my bracelet that has been given prayers from the holy temple. Hopefully this bracelet can protect you from distress and you'll be fine" Arabella said hoping
" I know you're strong, but you have to be careful" Arrabella said
" Be calm my little lamb " Dominic smiled
In his heart Arrabella hopes that Dominic is okay, as well as Dominic who will miss the girl.

Aiden and Lorenzo have arrived in front of Reese's mansion. The prince got off his horse as soon as he saw Arrabella watering flowers in his garden with Layla.
" Her Majesty the prince .why do you exist..
Aiden ran over and immediately hugged Arabella and made the girl startled. Even the servants and bodyguards there were shocked to see him.
The servants in the house started to gossip.
" It's so romantic .. kyaa." said Rita's flowering flower
" It feels like I'm seeing a romantic musical" Emma said happily
" Prince Aiden is so handsome" Layla said girly
Arrabella breaks away from Aiden's embrace.
" Your Majesty, a lot of people are looking ." said Arabella embarrassed
" I'm sorry, I was too excited" Aiden said
" Your Majesty, why are you here?" tanta Arabella's
" Did he know about the attack last night?" inner Arrabella
" how did I not come here after hearing what happened to you? " aiden said full of anxiety
" Ah. So you've heard yes" said Arabella
" I'm sorry that I wasn't on your side at the time" Aiden said
" Your Majesty, just calm down, I'll be fine, you see?" arrabella asked with a big smile
" I'll figure out who it is, you don't have to worry. Stay home safe, I'll order some royal guards to protect you" Aiden said anxiously
" Your Majesty is enough, you don't have to overdo it. I've also been fine, about that person you don't need to investigate, I just happened to meet with human traffickers only. It's nothing "Arabella said firmly
" I can't let him get involved with Count Oscar, sorry I'm so lying "inner Arabella feels guilty
" Are you sure that guy was just a human trafficker?" ask Aiden sharply
" Yes, maybe he kidnapped me to sell you" replied Arabella nervously
" So you don't want to be honest?" ask Aiden sharply
" I'm being honest, I just thought that the one who attacked me last night was just a human trafficker" Arrabella replied
" What are you really hiding? " inner Aiden
" Are you hurt? " ask Aiden
" I'm fine " replied Arrabella
" Thankfully.. Oh yeah, I heard you ran away from home and went to the city park alone without a bodyguard, it was a bold act. Actually why are you doing this?" ask Aiden full of anxiety
" He's angry, or he's worried about me "inner Arabella feels guilty
" I want to walk alone" Arabella said
" Your match with Mr Ashton, won't you say so? " ask Aiden sadly
" He already knew "inner Arabella was shocked
" Your Majesty, do you know where that came from?" ask Arabella in shock
" It turns out that's right huh "Aiden sighed
" I'm sorry, I also just found out yesterday that in the end my father will match me and brother Ashton" Arabella said trying to explain
" I'm sorry I shouldn't have left, this happened because I didn't take good care of my girl until she was seduced by some guy behind me" Aiden said sadly
" Your majesty, it's not so .you don't get angry" said Arrabella feeling guilty
" I'm so angry right now and can't be controlled anymore when I see you" Aiden said with an annoyed face
" I .. Your Honor .." Arrabella.
" I'm so angry that I can't hide your charm for myself" Aiden said with a smile
" What?" asked Arrabella
" You are so enchanting that you make me so angry that I am not the only one who can see your charm" Aiden said with a frown
" it felt like I wanted to pry the eyes of all the men who were staring at her flirtatiously. When there was no me a day had happened a lot of events to Naomi "inner Aiden
" Oh so she's jealous haha "inner Arabella is happy
" I'll propose to you in front of everyone later, Naomi you just wait. Today I will ask the king to propose to you, so that all the men who approach you (Dominic, Eugene, Ashton ) can do nothing more to get close to you, and your father will also definitely not dare to refuse the king's edict" Aiden's inner self was full of confidence
Soon, Lorenzo came to Aiden in a hurry.
" Your Majesty, miss Arabella forgive me for bothering you ", Lorenzo said
" It's better this is important !" exclaim Aiden
" Her Majesty the king sent an edict to his majesty to return to the palace" Lorenzo said
" Alright, I do want to return to the palace" Aiden said casually
" Your majesty you go back to the palace, as if there were urgent business" said Arabella
" i don't want to leave you. But, how else I'll see you later, Lorenzo you're here to look after Arabella" Aiden said firmly.
" Not necessarily your highness, here is Felix and the others "said Arabella
" My heart won't calm down if they're the only ones who look after you" Aiden said
****
Aiden went to the palace and directly faced the King in the royal hall there was also Eugene. The king sent his two sons to go to war on the border between the Vanders and the Clarines.
" War ? with Vanders I mean dad? haven't we made a peace treaty with King Dominic ? why should there be a war?" asked Eugene in surprise
" this war is not with the Vanders "the King replied firmly
" What? then with whom?" ask Aiden sharply
" The monster nation" replied the King
Aiden and Eugene were stunned to hear what the king said, they remembered the time they were in the tower of Gionda to save Arabella and there they also met monsters.
" Your Majesty, I and the crown prince know about the monster. But King Dominic once told us that the monster was only in the northern part of the Vanders under the guard of the Vanders, how could there be such a creature on the border?" ask Aiden wonder
" Is this why Dominic went to Vanders?" inner Aiden
" Yes, some of the bodyguards I assigned to the border died like they were bitten by a wild animal and they bled to death. From the description that the witnesses say, if they see the monster that ate our royal guards. And one of them can multiply themselves by taking another victim and can turn that person into a monster. Also the worst thing is that one of them can disguise themselves as a human "bright sharp King
Aiden and Eugene glanced at each other and felt that this was a big problem because if the monster could multiply itself then it would be very dangerous for the people living on the border. But the two sons of this King were astonished because to their knowledge the monster could only survive in cold temperatures, such as in the northern region of Vanders. But, these monsters could survive long walks without the cold, dark air in the Vanders.
The people of Clarines became restless and frightened because the news of the monster had spread widely and made many people of Clarines who were on the border to flee to the northern region of Clarines far from the monster.
" It's not an easy mission, actually I don't want to send you guys there. But, the people need you especially you crown prince. You are the future king of this land " said the King firmly
" I'll do a good job Father" said Eugene
" I am also your highness, Your Majesty the king can count on us" said Aiden while bowing politely
" Well, the core purpose of this mission is to capture the monster that can disguise itself as a human and if possible kill it" the King said firmly
" Prepare to do what is noble (father ) !" said Eugene and Aiden compact
Eugene, Aiden, Ethan, kstaria white knight and black knight discuss their mission to the border of Clarines and Vanders named region (Lokhan), they discuss strategies to eradicate the monster.
" Talking about monsters, doesn't King Dominic of the Vanders know more about him because he lives in the area where the monster came from?" ask Ethan to suggest
" It's true captain Ethan, we have to ask him about this monster" Eugene agreed
" Then we should get ready to go" Aiden said
" Right, get ready later in the afternoon we will go to Lokhan" Eugene said firmly
" Good noble one !"
The soldiers and royal kstaria were seen getting ready to clear their goods. Ashton sees Aiden daydreaming and thinking of something.
" I haven't had time to talk to the king about the marriage request, should I talk to Naomi first? to be honest, I want a surprise application for her not in this way. Moreover, I will soon go to war "inner Aiden was troubled
" Your Majesty, can you excuse yourself for a minute?" ask Ashton to vent
" Yes, coincidentally. I also want to talk to you, Mr. Ashton" said Aiden cynically
" Seeing her cynical attitude, she must have known about my matchmaking and Abel's "inner Ashton
Ashton and Aiden spoke seriously about Arabella.
" His majesty take it easy, I will discuss the annulment of our engagement to my uncle. You don't have to worry " said Ashton while forcing a smile
" I know you like her too, don't you? then why are you doing this?" ask Aiden wonder
" It's true that I like Abel, but Abel likes his majesty. I can't impose his will, I just want him to be happy. And at least maybe I can still be on his side as an older brother "sighted Ashton wise
Aiden smiled and praised Ashton's great-spirited wisdom not to become a barrier between Aiden and Arabella.
" Is that so? you're talking like you're gonna forget it" Aiden said
" Haha, then I ask that his majesty pray for me so that I can forget this feeling and act like a big brother to him "Ashton laughs cheerfully
" Yes, it's better this way. After all how can I compete with the King and the prince of the kingdom, I will not be able to win. Abel has to be happy with the person he loves, and I'm just going to see him from behind. Sooner or later I can forget it .." Ashton's inner heart is sincere
" Thank you for telling me this, now I feel calm because you're not my rival" Aiden said honestly
" Your Majesty, my rival is actually it's not me. But the King of the Vanders" said Ashton with a bright smile
" Would anyone rival me, Arrabella would still be mine "Aiden confident
" haha your majesty, you are very confident. " Ashton laughed
Ashton reminds Aiden to always look after Arabella and love her forever. Aiden promised Ashton that he would do so, and the conversation ended with a handshake as a sign of reconciliation and friendship.
