" Why is he here? ah .. I must be hallucinating, am I really tired it could be like this?" dominic asked a question
Dominic rubbed his eyes and went back to reading his book and did not look at Arrabella again.
" That's great, I was treated like a shadow after coming all the way here" Arrabella said
After hearing the voice, Dominic finally realized and looked at the woman who turned out not only to be his illusion.
" He's really here? she's Arrabella?" dominic's mumbling quietly
" Arrabella? that you?" ask Dominic not sure
" Yes I'm really here Your Majesty" said Arrabella staring resentfully at Dominic
Dominic looks sharply at Cane, but Cane hides behind Arrabella for fear of being scolded by Dominic.
" Pardon me this time your majesty, this is because the noble one did not give me the choice of "inner Cane fear
" Mister Cane, you've said everything. If your life is in danger? "said Arrabella who looked at Dominic anxiously, seeing Dominic's messy appearance.
The woman approached Dominic and watched the man's face up close.
" What's wrong with you? how could King Vanders be like this? read the book first !" said Arrabella was angry
" Cane, I'll deal with you.." Dominic glares at Cane
" My noble pardon, the glorious end did not hear me" Cane said apologizing.
" Don't blame Mr. Cane, it's my fault for making you this way. Now listen to me and sit down" Arrabella said firmly
Dominic could not say what, the King sat on the sofa like a obedient dog in front of his master. Cane was upset because the King obeyed the words Arabella but his words were considered the wind.
" So, if I say so, your Majesty will not obey. Huh.." muttered Cane
" I heard you Cane ! I'll deal with you after this" Dominic said resentfully
The woman sat next to Dominic carrying food in the bowl she was holding.
" He's up to doing this for me, at least I should take care of him and make him rest "inner Arrabella feels guilty
" Eat it. " said Arrabella softly.
" Good "Dominic took the bowl from Arrabella's hand, accidentally touching their hand.
" Why do I still feel this feeling? though I thought time could make me forget about it and kill this feeling, but I'm still hurting him. Love is indeed dangerous. "the inner Dominic is sad.
The king limped and dropped his spoon. Arrabella offered to feed the man.
" Let me bribe "
" No need, I can do it myself" Dominic said
" You can't, I'll feed you" Arrabella insisted
" You're still stubborn.. "
" What's noble, isn't it?" ask Arrabella
Arrabella feeds her soup one mouthful after another, Dominic eats her obediently.
" Who told you not to eat and not to sleep for 3 days and 3 nights? did I tell you that?" asked Arrabella annoyed
" I. I just..
" Silent ! you have no right to speak up now, if your majesty is willing to help me, please do not torture yourself" Arrabella said feeling guilty. " The noble one is an ordinary human being, and not a demon who can do all things easily. Your Majesty needs rest and food. "
" This is what keeps me thinking about you, you never considered me a demon like the others. You think I'm human, Arrabella why don't you just be with me?" dominic's inner hope
" I'm sorry, I just want to see you heal fast. I know you're sad because of you, which is why I'm doing this. But, my struggle for these 3 days has already paid off" Dominic said with a smile
" It doesn't matter anymore, what matters is the noble health of the king. It's a good thing Mr. Cane came to my house, otherwise I wouldn't know how noble things are. If the king's majesty is sick, how will the state of this land be? you didn't think about it, what?"
All Arabella's scolding on Dominic, did not upset the tyrant King or anger him, but he was happy instead. He feels noticed and he thinks that Arrabella thinks about it so he is angry at him who is considered not thinking about his health. Cane, who has been there since, decides to leave Arrabella and Dominic alone.
" Okay, the meal is over. Now go to sleep, I should immediately return to the Clarines" said Arrabella kindly
" No, I'm not going to sleep. I want to say something important first" Dominic said as he fell on his bed.
" Can't you say it later?" ask Arrabella
" Can't, must now "Reply Dominic replied firmly
" Then I'll listen to "Arrabella sitting on the bedside where Dominic sleeps
" I've found an antidote for your illness" Dominic said
" really? is there really a cure?" ask Arrabella happy
" I didn't sleep and didn't eat for 3 days 3 nights, I did feel tired. But it all paid off by seeing your one smile. That's enough" Dominic's inner relief
" Yes, there really is. This is the point I read a lot of books for 3 days 3 nights, not in vain "Dominic smiled
" I'm happy now that your majesty is smiling, did anything good happen today? if I may know?" ask Arrabella curiously
" The good thing is to meet you, see your smile. But I can't say so "inner Dominic
" A lot of good things, one of them is your arrival here" Dominic said
" So you expect me to come?"
" If I can be honest, yes. Because you never contacted me, when I gave you my magic mirror" Dominic said sadly
" I'm sorry, I don't know if you're hoping" said Arrabella.
" Then call me once in a while. Can it?" ask Dominic
" Okay, we're friends so we have to call each other once in a while but don't "answer Arrabella agrees
" I'm sorry, King Dominic, I know what you really mean. I'm guilty of making you wish for me, I know how big you feel for me. Therefore I keep my distance from you, but it turns out your feelings for me are not as simple as I think. I'm sorry, but my love is only for prince Aiden. "inner Arrabella feels guilty.
" friends? right.. me and he have any relationship to meet often and contact each other? Dominic, wake up ! from the beginning this woman was not yours, this woman will never love you. You guys are just friends, why is my wish this big on you? wh why? " dominic's inner heart is broken
" Yes right, we are friends ", Dominic replied with a bitter smile
" So, what are the ingredients for the antidote?" asked Arrabella to divert the conversation
" You can see it on that paper, ah let me get it.." Dominic wakes up
" No, you're sick. Let me just "say Arrabella while picking up the paper on the table
Arrabella stumbles onto Dominic's shoes and the girl nearly falls. " Akhh !
" Heart of heart !"
Dominic gets out of his bed and runs to catch Arrabella who is about to fall. They end up in a position that looks like a cuddle.
" you're still careless" Dominic murmured anxiously
" Your highness.. " Arrabella tried to push the man in front of her
" Just for a moment, please." Dominic said in a soft tone.
" I want to hug you every day like this.. If my chance were still there, if my place in your heart was still there "inward Dominic hoped
" Your Majesty don't." said Arrabella muttered but the man hugged her tighter.
***
Meanwhile, outside Dominic's room, Cane was standing guard there. He was startled when a light appeared in front of him, like a teleportation light. And he was even more shocked when Aiden emerged from that light.
" Prince Aiden? since when can he use teleportation magic?" inner Cane was amazed
Aiden looked at Cane coldly and full of anger. Cane shakes to see it.
" Sa. sa. good night, noble prince Aiden" Cane said hello.
Aiden ignored Cane who greeted him and looked at Cane with a smoldering, murderous gaze.
" So this is how when Prince Aiden gets angry, he's more sinister than the King's majesty. No, she's not mad.Surely she's here because she knows that I brought her fiance here. Die me ! " inner Cane panicked
" I'll deal with you later, where's my fiance?" ask Aiden wrathfully
" Daughter. Princess Arrabella is inside the King's noble room." Cane replied nervously.
Aiden opened the door with his magic...
Wush
BRACKET
Arrabella and Dominic are shocked when they see Aiden arriving and they are both still in a hugging position that can make people misunderstand. Aiden looked at it with anger, and sure enough he misunderstood.
" I know, I can't trust you! so you haven't given up yet?" Aiden pulls Arrabella's hand and now the girl is in Aiden's arms.
" Your Majesty, you misunderstood. It's not what you think it is." the woman tried to explain
" Why is Prince Aiden here? can he teleport ?" inner Arrabella who still does not know that Aiden can do magic using MANA from his body.
" I still love him and can't forget him yet" Dominic said honestly
" Fuck !"
BUCK
BUCK
Aiden was angry and hit the king many times, hearing the commotion Cane went inside the king's room and tried to stop the King and Aiden's fight. More precisely not a fight, because only Aiden who attacked and Dominic just silently received an attack from the prince Clarines.
" Stop ! your majesty, don't! Aiden !" said Arrabella while hugging her fiance
" Don't just shut up ! fight me ! " excited Aiden while looking at his love rival who was lying on the floor with a bruised face
" Aiden stop it ! King Dominic is sick" Arrabella said
" You want to defend him? you care about her?" ask Aiden annoyed
" Don't get me wrong, I hugged her earlier. Since I can't help myself, I don't want to be hypocritical of myself. I still love your fiancee" Dominic said firmly
" how dare you !!" Aiden's angry
" Stop! enough ! you guys don't be like this! Aiden let's go, let's go home" Arrabella said as she held Aiden's hand and begged to go home
" You.. " Aiden looked cynically at Dominic
" Uhuk uhuk.."
" Why do I have to come back at a time like this?" inner Arrabella
The woman let out another cough of blood from her mouth and fell unconscious into Aiden's embrace.
" Arabella !" Dominic panicked
" Naomi !" Aiden panicked
" Daughter of Arrabella !" Cane panicked
***
Next day..
Arrabella awakens and sees Aiden sleeping by her side clasping her hand.
" Why am I still here? I haven't come home yet? like her I'm still in Vanders castle "murm Arabella confused
" WHAT?? Vanders Castle??!!" arrabella shouted in surprise
Aiden woke up when he heard her fiance's scream. " What's up? Naomi, are you awake?" Aiden looked relieved to see the woman was already conscious.
" Is anyone sick? you need anything? are you hungry?" ask Aiden worriedly
" No no.Why are we still here? your Majesty what happened?" ask Arrabella confused
" You coughed up blood again and fainted all night, it's noon. And you just realized." replied Aiden
" The prince looked tired, did he look after me all night? he's like a sleep-deprived "inner Arrabella is anxious
" I'm sorry, I made your majesty anxious" Arrabella said
The man held Arrabella gently.
" Thank God you've come to your senses, I'm very worried. I think I'm gonna die.. "
CRUTCH
" Are you hungry?" ask Aiden
" Yes.no ..."
" Babies embarrassing "inner Arrabella irritated
" I'll get you some food" Aiden said with a smile
" I've brought it, your highness the prince didn't bother to take it anymore" said Wen who appeared while carrying a tray in his hand.
" mister Wen !" said Arrabella
" It's long time not to see Miss Arrabella, ah. or should I call Princess Arrabella now" Wen said kindly
Seeing Arrabella's familiarity with the people living in Vanders castle makes Aiden jealous and uncomfortable. He continued to show his dislike by scowling and acting cold with the people in the Vanders castle.
" What's wrong with your face ? did anything upset your Majesty? what happened last night still pisses his majesty off?" ask Arrabella sadly
" I'm still upset, and this morning I was even more upset. Why are you so familiar with the inhabitants of this castle? " ask Aiden
" It was because back then, in order to survive, inevitably I established good relations with those in this castle. So I'm familiar with them. Don't tell me that your majesty is jealous ?" Arrabella explained
" I'm so jealous, I think I want to tear them apart especially the owner of this castle who dared to hug you last night !" aiden was upset
" haha, didn't I explain. What does your majesty not believe in me?" ask Arrabella
"I trust you, but I don't trust him. Next time you can't go with her or another man without me knowing. " Aiden pout
" Yes it's my fault I didn't have time to tell you because of the rush, nothing else next time ! I won't be so anymore" Arrabella promised
" Okay, I believe "
The woman was confused and afraid that her father and two older sisters would be upset if they knew she was staying outside, but Aiden said that he had explained the reason Arrabella was staying at Vanders Castle, because with the woman's circumstances last night, Aiden couldn't bring her with teleportation magic that would harm her. So, he decided to stay at Vanders castle for Arrabella's safety.
" It's still that my brother's father and brother will definitely be mad at me "a worried Arrabella murmured
" It's okay, I'll help you explain again" said Aiden casually
" I'm just afraid they're thinking no because we're staying out" Arrabella said
" Is there anything strange with an official couple staying outside? we're engaged " said Aiden casually
" It's not that. I mean. we.."
" Do you think that's not anymore?" ask Aiden
" No .. no. I just..
The man brought his face closer to the woman and kissed her lips gently.
" Hmphh..
" He's getting more and more aggressive, this is the third time we kiss. And I'm also enjoying it more and more.I can't resist this man's touch "inner Arrabella.
" Every time she looks nervous, she looks really cute and I'd love to do this a long time ago. Kissing you like this, it's so sweet.." Inner Aiden
Without them noticing, Dominic who was behind the door saw the two of them kissing. His heart still hurts, he who was going to meet Arrabella and Aiden undo his intention and choose to hide.
" Are they not a couple? it is natural that they make physical contact. But why can't I accept it? so this is what's called heartbreak.love is the most painful thing, I shouldn't have fallen in love this deep. "Dominic's inner heart aches.
Cane and Wen watch as a wounded and sad Dominic stands at the door of the room where Arrabella and Aiden are together.
" That's a glorious Kasian" said Wen sadly.
" His first love didn't go smoothly" Cane said sadly as well
" It is sad to be a second-lade ..hu hu.." said Wen who also felt the sadness of the king
***
The Reese mansion..
Peter pacing back and forth, he looked annoyed.
" Are you not doing any other work? today just pacing back and forth is not clear so?" ask Ethan who's going to the palace to train
" Sister, Abel hasn't come back yet and it's already noon. He said they'd go straight home when Abel's condition had improved, had Abel not improved?" ask Peter
" Yes, maybe so. I trust the prince, he will take good care of Abel "Athan replied casually
" Are you not angry that the prince took Abel all night? " ask Peter thinking that he's not
" I'm sure they can take care of themselves" Ethan said casually
" Have a look at yourself how? I heard the guards in front gossiping that they saw the prince kissing Abel in front of the house !" peter said worriedly
" WHAT?? is that true?" ethan asked
" It is true ! he had dared to do something nasty to Abel, even though they were not married" Peter said
" If that's the case, I'll have to make a calculation with him" Ethan said annoyedly
" How dare he kiss our sister !" peter was upset
" Why are they so old-fashioned? isn't Princess Arrabella and Prince Aiden engaged? it's only natural that they just kiss ..basal ckckck "inner Ariana wonder
***
After Arrabella's condition improved, Aiden decided to take Arrabella home to Clarines quickly. Aiden still looks upset when he will say goodbye to Dominic.
" Her Majesty the king, I'm sorry to trouble you" said Arrabella politely.
" No, " replied Dominic relaxed
" I'm glad you're here "inner Dominic wishes
" This man was still staring at someone else's fiancee like that !" aiden's mind is upset
" Prince Aiden, we need to find the antidote together. There's no other choice because only I know where it is" Dominic said
" Good "answer Aiden briefly
" As her Aiden is still angry "inner Arrabella
" We say goodbye, thank you King Dominic" Arrabella said with a friendly smile
" Don't smile like that !" aiden was upset
" Okay don't be angry "
Arrabella said goodbye to Wen, Cane and everyone familiar with her at Vanders Castle.
" We're leaving.. "
" I'm sorry king Dominic "inner Arrabella feels guilty
" I'm sorry king Dominic, but Arrabella is mine. Now or forever she's just mine. I won't let you in between us "inner Aiden
Shortly after, Aiden uses her teleportation magic and disappears with Arrabella.
Dominic's face looks careless, sad, disappointed, hurt raging in his heart.
" Even though you're far from me, why can't I forget you? my feelings for you do not diminish one bit, I repeatedly try to awaken myself, still my heart will melt when I see your face, do I have to not just see you?"
