The nobles gathered in the royal hall and they separated into two camps. Prince Aiden's fortress and the crown prince, the King was in their midst.
Aiden entered the royal hall, clearly visible tension between the two camps. Their faces said they were fighting. And in the front row of the prince Aiden fortress, there was Duke Zena and Duke Reese who led.
The king's eldest son sat next to his father, and next to the King, there was Eugene the crown prince.
" I invite you here to speak seriously, " said the King, looking intently at all the nobles and ministers who were there.
An hour passed, all the nobles came out of the royal hall. They argue out there again.
" Well, we know how it ends?" said nobleman 1
" Even though the crown prince had the support of the queen, but he had already lost the support of the people due to the conduct of the crown princess" said the nobleman 2
" You should not be happy, however, that Prince Aiden is not pure noble blood, he will never be the next crown prince or king even though he is supported by the people" said the nobleman 3
" We'll see later after the court's decision" said nobleman 1
Such was the situation heated up between nobles and ministers who were split into 2, supporters of Aiden and supporters of the crown prince. Making the palace and the kingdom in a state of heat, even the King was confused by the petition petition he received from the people, nobles and ministers who asked for the decline of the crown prince and crown princess.
After the nobles disbanded, the King spoke privately with his two sons.
" Father, I want to protest !" exclaim Eugene
" I know what you're going to say to the crown prince. But, the opinion of the people cannot be ignored "the King said unequivocally
" I'm sorry to interrupt, I'm sticking to my original intention. I never thought about becoming the crown prince or the next king. I beg the crown prince not to be swayed by the talk of the nobles earlier "said Aiden sage
" Are you a hypocrite, brother? how can I not be affected? half of the ministers and nobles support you ! you'd better stab me in the front" Eugene said angrily
" I have no such intention, if there were, I wouldn't have stayed outside the palace for the rest of my life" Aiden said
" You guys stop it ! " shouted the King annoyed
In the end the two sons of the King were at odds and the King could not handle them. He could not ignore the wishes of the people as well, he decided that Aiden should attend the education of the crown prince at the request of the People and nobles.
Eugene was very upset to hear that, he felt the King was favoritism and did not love him anymore.
The queen also stayed silent, protesting to the King not to give Prince Aiden the same education as the crown prince.

" Hey, how's the Arabella princess doing?" asked Ariana awkwardly
" What's going on? why did they come together?" inner Arabella wonder
" What happened to your shirt, Princess" asked Arabella in shock to see Ariana's dirty clothes and her body was also dirty. He was also shocked when he saw his sister as dirty as Ariana.

" I'm sorry, if the dress in my house doesn't suit the taste of the princess" said Arabella politely
" No, this dress is great" said Ariana happily

Ethan finished putting the shoes on Ariana's feet.
" I'll excuse you "
" Wait ! I want to talk to you, Sir Ethan !"
" What's up?" ask Ethan
" You misunderstood what I meant about the drama instead of pointing to Princess Arabella. But, on the crown princess Claire "lit Ariana
" then?" ask Ethan coldly
" I'm explaining to you, why is your reaction like that? don't you still misunderstand me that I'm going to hurt your sister?" ask Ariana sadly
" What does Princess Ariana really want to say?" ethan asked with a sigh
Ariana explained that at first she liked Prince Aiden and wanted Arabella to part with him. He also admitted that he had evil intentions on Arabella, but at this time he did not have such intentions. Ariana promised to apologize to Arabella if they met later.
" It's good that I understand " Ethan is smiling kindly
" His smile was deadly.I think I'll lose my heart "inner Ariana was fascinated.
The princess of the Monique kingdom lost control as a carriage passed quickly towards her, her body shaken.
" Aakhh !!"
Ethan quickly catches the woman's body from falling into a muddy fish pond nearby. In the end, Ariana ends up on Ethan's burly body, and Ethan's hands hold onto the girl to keep her from falling. Their bodies were both dirty with mud.
Ethan and Ariana look at each other. Ariana recalled the time when Ethan had caught her like this, when she was about to fall into a fish pond in the palace.
" the blue eyes, very beautiful "the murmured Ariana who was drowning in her daydream when she saw the two eyes of Ethan who was staring at her.
" Your Majesty !" ernest and Berry panicked and approached Ethan and Ariana.
They also stood out from the mud.
" You don't what what is noble ?" ask Ethan
" He's very gentle, this kind of man is very rare "inner Ariana
" I'm okay, is Sir Ethan hurt?" ask Ariana worried
" No, it's just that my body is all dirty" Ethan replied
" I'm sorry, because of me you became like this" Ariana said
" Your Majesty, how are you going to go home like this? are we far from the inn?" ask Berry
" It's okay, I'm like this" replied Ariana
" My house is not far here, if you don't mind what the princess wants..
" Of course I don't mind ! " answered Ariana
" Alright, I can't let you in wet clothes" Ethan said with a sigh
Because Ariana has difficulty walking, Ethan holds Ariana's hand. And the woman looked happy in her heart blossoming.

" What ? you mean my sister's daughter who offered to bring you here? my brother?" ask Arabella not to believe it
" Ah that's okay, I just strange that it turns out my sister who was never close to women finally opened her heart "Arabella smiled and muttered to herself
" Is it true that Sir Ethan was never close to a woman ? " ask Ariana with a happy face
" Hehe, this is a secret between us, princess " replied Arabella.
" Why is Princess Ariana's expression like this? does he like Ethan's brother? ah time anyway?" arabella's inner thought
" all right. Princess Arabella I'm here to apologize to you, too" said Ariana sincerely
" For what?" ask Arabella
" I intend to separate you and Prince Aiden from before, and I have bad thoughts about you. I envy you too, but now I'm not. I'm sorry " said Ariana sorry
" She's probably gonna be my sister-in-law in the future, so I have to be nice to her "inner Ariana is happy
" I was jealous because of your closeness, but I believe in Prince Aiden. So your majesty need not worry "Arabella smiled
" You are very wise and kind. No wonder you could even tear down the demon lord of the Vanders" Ariana said in amazement
" Haha, not really, I'm not that good. I still have feelings of resentment and hatred for someone, so it's not exactly good" Arrabella said
" I get it, it's about crown princess Claire right?" ask Ariana
" Hem. that's how "Arabella replied justifying
" It's only natural that you have such a feeling, if I were to be treated like that I would definitely kill him with my own hands" Ariana said in an upset manner
" Hehe. the princess turned out to be not as cold as she looked. Besides being beautiful you are also originally a friendly person" said Arrabella praising
" Ahaha, it's not like that, I'm not that friendly. Oh yes, princess Arabella can I make a request?" ask Ariana
" Yes, of course, your majesty" replied Arrabella
" Don't talk formally to me and let's be good friends" Ariana said with a smile
" Is this real? you want to be friends with Duke's daughter like me?" ask Arabella low
" Why not? once I think it's good to have a friend, I think you'd be a good friend of mine "
" What noble has never been friends? I'm sorry if my question offends the princess " said Arabella
" It's okay princess Arabella, I do have a lot of acquaintances but I don't have any true friends. How ? do you want to be my friend?" ask Ariana to hope
" I can't refuse someone who wants to build a good relationship with me" Arrabella replied
" For a girl of her age, she looks wise and mature. But he also has a plain and innocent side, what is this that makes Dominic the devil crazy about him?" inner Ariana
" Good, you want to be friends with me. Though I guess you won't forgive me " said Ariana happily
" How could I be, I. uh.." Arabella held her stomach and moaned in pain
" What's up? " ask Ariana worried
" I'm not what what noble is, this has happened many times since I was poisoned "Arabella replied
Ariana looks attentive to Arabella, he also promises to help Arabella to cure her infertile disease. Arrabella is happy that if Ariana is willing to help her, her barren troubles can no longer be hidden and have become public news that everyone knows.
Ariana tried to cheer him up and calm him down with words, reassuring the woman that he would be cured.
Seeing the familiarity of Arabella and Ariana, Ethan becomes suspicious. The three of them sat in the backyard and decided to eat a snack together.
" How? do you like the snacks?" ask Arrabella
" Hum.no wonder you like it, the sweetness is so fitting. Where did you buy it?" ask Ariana spirit
" Pia Bakery, it was my subscription store from childhood. Your Majesty would like me to take you there?" ask Arrabella
" Of course, it's nice to have a girl friend" replied Ariana cheerfully
" He was not like before, when the last time he met he was so haughty. Looking at her up close like this, she was somewhat similar to Abel "inner Ethan
" Sister why shut up? don't want to eat the cake?" ask Arabella
" No, I'll just have tea. I'll have to go to the palace soon "
" Yes, we finished the cake and the snacks" Arrabella replied
" Please "answer Ethan
" Watching him up close like this, sir Ethan looks very handsome. Her body when hugging me was feeling burly, her muscles were also good, very tempting "inner Ariana was fascinated
" What's wrong with them, but if Ariana's sister and daughter are in love. How's their future? usually the princess must match the prince "inner Arrabella think
After that Ariana whined to Arrabella to be allowed to stay in the Reese mansion because she did not want to stay in the inn or in the palace of Clarines.
" What the hell is this? your Majesty wants to stay here?" ask Ethan wonder
" Yes, just for a week. In a moment I will go to Monique kingdom " said Ariana with a clear expression
" Sister, I don't have a problem. I got a friend gossiping ", said Arrabella gladly
" I can only help you up here daughter Ariana, I also want to see if you're sincere on Ethan's sister "inner Arrabella
" Aish can't, there will be rumors what will be out there if your noble daughter lives here" said Ethan
" It's okay, sister, now I and daughter Ariana are friends. Doesn't matter, does it? what kind of rumors are you afraid of?"
" Yes.no .."
" It's the first time Ethan's brother is nervous because a woman "inner Arrabella is astonished
" Yes whatever, Princess Ariana wants to live wherever I don't care. Already well, I have to go to the palace " said Ethan saying goodbye
Ethan just left and made Ariana upset. However, in the end the girl smiled as she was going to stay in the Arabella house temporarily.

Before entering the courtroom, Arrabella felt her stomach ache again, Ariana accompanied her and gave her medicine attentively.
