" You're also the Queen" Dominic replied in a flat tone

Megan looks sad to see Dominic go, she stops eating the fruit. Wen looked at her sadly, and the maid knew that Dominic still loved Arrabella even though she was married to her Queen. Wen tried to comfort Megan by taking her for a walk so that the woman's heart would be better.

Aiden arrives at the palace, he searches for Arrabella in his study, but the woman is not there, only Grace is working on her errands.
" Greetings noble crown prince "Grace bowed his head respectfully
" Grace, where's the crown princess? why isn't she with you?" ask Aiden
" The crown princess is not feeling well today, she asked for a short rest. And now he's in his room, your majesty." replied Grace
" not feeling well?" muttered Aiden worriedly
In her room, Layla brews tea for Arrabella to make the woman feel better.
" Your Majesty, I hope you are always in good health" Layla said with a worried look
" Layla, you take it easy, I'm just a regular headache. By the way thank you so much "Arrabella smiled
" He is very similar to Layla who I know, innocent and kind. "inner Arrabella
" Thank you for what your majesty? brewing tea for your majesty is my duty" Layla said with a friendly smile
" No thanks for that. I mean thank you for your concern "Arabella replied sincerely
" I'm flattered to receive such a thank you from your majesty" Layla said with a shy smile
Shortly after, Daisy arrives with a headache medicine for Arrabella.
" How's Layla? are you glad to be able to serve your highness the crown princess up close" said Daisy kindly
" Sa. I'm very happy, it's an honor and luck that I can serve the crown princess and be her personal lady-in-waiting" Layla said happily
" Are you that happy Layla?" ask Arrabella
" How could he not be happy? serving his highness the Crown Princess, was his wish long ago" Daisy said
" Be..really?!!" ask Arrabella in disbelief
" In fact I am a big fan of the noble crown princess, since her noble crown princess saved the girl girl who was going to be sold" Layla explained.
" So you've known me that long?" asked Arrabella in shock
" that's right, since then I've been a noble fan. "Layla smiles cheerfully
" Alright, then I ask for his help huh. Please serve me well" Arrabella said as she drank her tea
" I will gladly serve your majesty, even for the rest of my life "Layla looks down and smiles grinning
" You can drink casually now, because I don't poison your tea. But, you will feel the destruction from within your heart. Prepare for an attack from me, the "inner Layla bitch is full of anger
Daisy and Layla leave Arrabella's room after hearing that Aiden is going to meet Arrabella.
The man confronts his wife, looking at her guiltily, while Arrabella herself is indifferent to the man. She did not know what to say to her husband who had been cold to her. In Aiden's hand was a bouquet of flowers and he also carried a bag of crackers he had brought from the Bakery pia shop.
" Naomi.. I hear you're sick, have you checked with the palace doctor?" ask Aiden awkwardly
" No, it's just a normal headache" Arrabella replied
" why did he bring my favorite rose? and why are there parcels of bakery pia?" arrabella's inner focus was on seeing what her husband was carrying
" Naomi, let's talk " said Aiden softly
" So, now you want to listen to me?" arrabella asked in a cold tone
" He must still be mad at me, he's even talking formally. Yes, I do deserve to be treated like this, I've slapped her. "inner Aiden feels guilty.
" Yes, I don't think it's good that we keep quiet. Whatever your explanation is, I'll listen to it " said Aiden
" Are you not going to suspect me anymore? ah the question is wrong.. are you going to believe me?" Arrabella glanced at her husband seriously.
JLEB
The question deeply pierced Aiden's heart, as he realized earlier that he was acting like someone who did not believe in his wife and considered his wife had betrayed him. He felt ashamed and annoyed at himself who had been shrouded in jealousy. Arrabella's questions could not be answered by Aiden.
" So she can't answer?" inner Arrabella disappointed
" Okay, if you can't answer. I would immediately tell the events of the day ", Arrabella said without making small talk
After telling her husband at length about the events of the day, she only hoped that Aiden would believe her. Aiden looks shocked when Arrabella says Dominic kissed her.
" What's true? she kissed you? how dare she do such a shameful thing to someone else's wife on her wedding day ??!" Aiden looks angry
" Your majesty.is not angry with me?" ask Arrabella in wonder
" Why should I be mad at you? it's all her fault, she's the one who kissed my wife by force ! I have to teach him a lesson !" aiden said wrathfully
" That means you believe me?" asked Arrabella while crying
The man approached Arrabella and wiped his wife's tears with both hands. Guilt in his eyes on Arrabella.
" Of course I believe you.I'm min.."

" Who??!"
" Your Majesty, His Majesty King Dominic of the Vanders kingdom would like to meet his majesty" said Demian who was behind the door
" Oh, on time, Naomi, let's meet him together" said Aiden.

Dominic waits in the crown prince's private living room. The man had already prepared words to explain to Aiden, he did not want Arrabella to be blamed for the indecent incident he had committed on the Clariness crown princess.
HORN
Arrabella and Aiden enter together, as soon as they see Dominic's face. Aiden was so angry, he immediately ran towards the tyrant king and hit him. No matter, Dominic is a King or not.
BUCK
" your highness !" Arrabella and Demian who saw her were shocked.
" Bastardly man "inner Aiden is upset
Dominic stood up and rubbed the blood on the corner of his lips as Aiden hit him hard.
" I'm sorry crown prince Aiden, it's my fault. I've kissed the crown princess forcibly" Dominic said straight to the point.
" How dare you say that ! turns out you still have feelings for my wife, even though you have a wife yourself" said Aiden angrily
" I won't deny it if it's true. That's why I apologize to you, especially to the crown princess Arrabella. My behavior at that time was so insolent that the crown princess was innocent, I was the one who forced her" Dominic said regretfully.
Aiden clenched his hands in annoyance, he wanted to hit the man. But, Arrabella held him back. The woman said that she would never have this problem again because Dominic had apologized, and for her the most important thing was that Aiden believed in her again. After a brief conversation, Dominic bids to return to Vanders.
" King Dominic, wait !!" Arrabella called
" What's the crown princess?"
" Please take good care of Queen Megan and your future child" Arrabella said sincerely
" WHAT?? Whatchu mean?" ask Aiden who doesn't know Megan's pregnant
" As the crown prince heard, I will soon become a father. So, I won't bother you anymore.I hope you're happy" Dominic said with a bitter smile.
" That fast? you're gonna be a father?" Aiden doesn't believe me
" Then, you guys quickly followed as well.I said "Said Dominic.
" Well, I pray sincerely that you can be happy" Aiden said sincerely
" May "answer Dominic with a bitter smile

Dominic has disappeared using his magic. The problem is solved with an explanation and apology from Dominic. However, Aiden still felt ashamed to apologize to his wife.
" I will return to my noble work "said Arrabella politely
" Don't you say you had a headache?" ask Aiden worriedly
" It doesn't hurt anymore" Arrabella replied with a bitter smile
" You just rest "
" I have a lot of work "
" Don't talk formally like this, you're hurting my heart" Aiden said sadly
" When you slapped me? does my heart not hurt? I know he wants to apologize, but I don't want to hear him talk right now. My head feels like it's going to break "the inner Arrabella is still upset at her husband
" I'm sorry, I have to go back to my office. Your Majesty also has a lot of work, right? " ask Arrabella
" But I want to talk to you "Aiden replied firmly
" We'll talk later tonight" Arrabella said, bowing respectfully, and shortly afterwards she stepped away.

Shortly after, Aiden received a visit from Duke Zena, Marquez Varant and several other nobles, and they talked about the disaster that struck the Londo-Clariness border area. Until the Clariness crown prince became busy and did not have time to pursue Arrabella.
Meanwhile Arrabella returns to her study and finishes her work.
After completing his work he and Camille go to prison to meet Eugene and inform him of his release.
" Sister.at last brother was released.thank God " said Camille while hugging Eugene who had been out of custody.Eugene was surprised because he had just been detained for 5 months, had been released.
" I'm released? but why?" inner Eugene was stunned
The man was further shocked to see that Arrabella and her two servants were already there and that King Caesar's mandate to free him from Arrabella's punishment and charges had been revoked. And quite unexpectedly, Eugene who usually always behaves informally to Arrabella. This time saluted the woman politely. Secretly the waitress named Layla glanced at Eugene feelingly.
" Greetings noble crown princess, long time no see" said Eugene politely
" What's wrong with her? this is the first time she's been formal with me "inner Arrabella is suspicious
" Long time did not meet prince Eugene" Arrabella said in a polite greeting
" I'm so grateful for your kindness that freed me from custody "Eugene looks sincere
" No problem, I want us to make peace with the past and start a new life. Prince Eugene should also be able to do so, me and his Majesty the King have already given me a chance.so do not disappoint me and his Majesty the King "
" I promise I won't let those of you who released me be disappointed" Eugene said
" Thank you, crown princess, for you released my sister" Camille said happily
" I'm glad you're happy, so don't thank me sister-in-law. And just call me big sister as always, I'll be so happy if our relationship is like it used to be" Arrabella said with a friendly smile
" Okay sister" Camille said with a smile
Eugene was still staring at Arrabella feelingly, maybe there was still love he had for the woman in his heart. It seems that his current behavior is also not acting, he looks sincere and sincerely sorry for his actions. After his release, Camille escorts her older sister to meet the ailing King.
" Daughter, you've come.." the King cried out in a weak voice
Eugene approached the King, not looking angry or harboring hatred, but looking sympathetic and sad to see his father lying on the bed.
" When did you get sick? why is he so weak?" inner Eugene was worried
On the king's pale face, there was a hint of a smile. The sick man hugged Eugene and Camille affectionately.
" I'm sorry, because all this time I couldn't be a good father to you two. I even failed to protect your mother from death.I hope you forgive father." said the King in hope.
Eugene and Camille were moved by the King's words, they said that they would forget everything and start over. Eugene also says his regret for being a bad person, covering up the crimes of the late Queen, and many more crimes he committed under the Queen's provocation. In the end the reconciliation between King and Eugene happened and ended well. And surprisingly, Eugene did not look angry when the King told him that Aiden would soon be appointed King.
Eugene instead said that he would also help Aiden in taking care of his court and government as his brother. The king was sure that this was not a ruse from Eugene, the man's eyes looked sincere, there was regret visible on his face. Hope this change is right !

That night, Arrabella accompanied by Daisy and Layla go to the garden behind Clariness's palace.
" Huft. finally, the problems are solved one by one. I should cool my head by looking at the flowers in the garden. "

Along his way to the flower garden, he saw many bodyguards carrying purple roses in his hands. In her heart, the woman said "what is this?"
The royal guard gave her flowers one by one to Arrabella, until her hands were filled with flowers.
" Eh.. What's going on?" ask Arrabella not understand
" his highness please walk straight, " Demian said with a warm smile and pointed the way to the fountain.
" ah? what's?" the woman looks confused.
The two servants, who understood Arrabella's time of privacy, eventually left the woman in the garden with the palace guards.
The woman continued walking towards the royal fountain with many purple roses in her hands.

Every woman walked, the lights would start to light up as if following her footwork and steps. The twinkling lights of the night looked very beautiful, like stars scattered in the dark of the night. Arrabella admires her beauty, and wonders who did this. When he reached the end of the road, he saw the silhouette of a tall man as if he was waiting for someone to arrive. The man was standing behind the fountain.
Arrabella walked slowly closer to the man's silhouette, the closer he got to her the more clearly visible the man's face was because along with his steps, lights would illuminate his path.
It turned out that she was Aiden, her own husband who smiled warmly at her.
" Your Majesty, what are you doing ?" ask Arrabella confused
The man knelt down in front of Arrabella.
" What are you doing? stand up, your majesty, it is inappropriate for the future leader of this land to kneel before a woman !" said Arrabella astonished. The man remained on his knees in front of him.
" Naomi, I'm sorry.I've misunderstood you, I don't trust you and I'm mad at you. I'm even being rude to you, I'm really embarrassed. I'm sorry Naomi.." said Aiden regretfully.
Arrabella smiled and finally understood who prepared the surprise for her.
" Stand up, your majesty." said Arrabella as she held the hand of the kneeling man
" I won't stand until you say you'll forgive me." Aiden said sadly
" He even got down on his knees like this just to be forgiven by me." Arrabella's inner heart was moved
" This kind of attitude you can only show when you make a big mistake, you don't make a big mistake with me. So, please stand up " said Arrabella softly
" I made a terrible mistake, I hurt you.. Naomi I'm guilty" the man's eyes glazed over, a look of regret on his face, there was also a sense of shame inside him.
" Now he looks like an abandoned kitten. "inner Arrabella.
The woman smiled and helped Aiden stand by holding her husband's hand. He smiled warmly at Aiden.
" I've forgiven you, so stop. Don't be like this, after all this is over, isn't it? you don't misunderstand me anymore, so it's okay "
" I was being rude to you, and not trusting you and forgiving me was this easy. I'm so ashamed of myself, Naomi if you want to hit me, hit me now, come on ! how many times it doesn't matter, I can't bear this guilt and shame before you do !!" aiden said with regret
" I don't have to do that, just you trust me and don't doubt me again forever.I'll be so happy "Arrabella smiled sincerely.
Aiden cried and was moved by his wife's wisdom.
