The Second Life Of The Mercenary
Chapter 77 You are suffering greatly

Arriving at Arsena Isabella's residence greeted directly by Edmund, he also drove Isabella to meet Charlize in the greenhouse. After that Edmund left them both.

"Hail Duke Arsena. Can I ask for a little time? it's about …."

"Today's news, right?" charlize asked to cut off Isabella's speech.

"Yes. I really did not know about it, that day after drinking the poison I did not remember what had happened. They said I just passed out" Isabella said, feeling very nervous.

"Nothing do you remember a little bit about the incident?" charlize asked again, deep in his heart he felt very disappointed.

"Yes, I don't remember a bit. So I'm sorry, we're going to get the news straight. What do you think?"

"My good name is ruined, it's not my fault because the one who came to see me is you're not the other way around.  Even if we can straighten out the news, what do the noble ladies have to say about me? they must think I've played with a lot of women, and no father would want their daughter to marry me."

"How is it possible? right now there are a lot of women in line who want to be your wife" Isabella said.

"Then you want how?" ask Isabella.

"What if we have a contract relationship? this is only valid for 3 years" replied Charlize.

"I refused. This news need not force our circumstances to forge such a ridiculous relationship."

"How can you refuse this? and then you called me your husband, whined for my food, and asked me to feed you. Everyone in the empire knows."

"I can't be like that. Mung-maybe you saw it wrong."

"I am a victim, you as a perpetrator must be responsible, right? the contract relationship is good, right?"

"I'll think about it later. Please give me some time, I'm sorry." Isabella hurriedly left Charlize with a reddened face.

"You will come to me and you alone will offer that contractual relationship, I am sure," Charlize said.

It turns out that before saying that Charlize had known many things, earlier when she went to visit the emperor she heard the empress was talking about an arranged marriage between Isabella and Babylon.  But the emperor did not give a definite answer, as the emperor would still ask Isabella for an opinion it was possible that the emperor had read the hot news today.

"He's really not sane. Being in a contract relationship just because of such a little news, she was crazy," Inner Isabella walked up the stairs to her room.

"We will make Vanessa unable to attend today's banquet, and then you use this opportunity to approach the crown prince. I'll just give you this little favor" Charlotte said in a soft voice. Unfortunately Isabella could listen to their conversation.

"Is this gonna be okay? what if someone knows?" ask Carolina.

"We're just ruining the dress, you want to be empress, don't you? if you want, do not argue. Vanessa's just gonna be quiet this time like last time."

"He will be silent. But Isabella wasn't stupid, she would have ruined everything. Vanessa biaa cheat dad unfortunately she can not fool Isabella, lately Isabella is indeed rarely in the residence. But the lizard was wandering around like it was watching this residence, I was so scared."

"He's just a lizard that can't talk, even if he sees what we're doing he won't be able to do anything about it. Isabella may not be stupid. But without proof that woman could be what on us?" ask Charlotte. Isabella smiled and continued on to her room.

"Without proof I can what? it's exciting," inner Isabella.

"Selina, I have a task for you. The gift was a set of dresses complete with jewelry," said Isabella quickly Selina down from the top of the closet.

"What's his job?" selina asked, Isabella whispered to make Selina impatient to carry out her duties.

"I'm leaving." Selina quickly ran away from Isabella's room.

Isabella flies when it's dark, Selina, Aisnley is choosing a dress with Vanessa. 

"Yet? why did you choose the dress?" ask Isabella.

"You awake? tonight there's a banquet in the palace and we're invited. I want to choose a dress for Selina and Aisnley because there is a new dress model, oh yes the party starts in 5 hours" replied Aisnley.

"But Selina why choose a dress? you can't go to the banquet" Isabella's taunts upset Selina.

"You promised. What forget?" selina's telepathy makes Isabella aware that she has made plans to prank the twins.

"Sister also has to choose. I want to have the same dress as my sister, but who are you going with tonight? you don't have a partner" Vanessa thought.

"Hhhmmm, what's the trouble? Aisnley can wear men's clothes and be my partner."

"Huh? I'd like to wear a dress too, I don't want to" Aisnley said. She was already tempted by the beautiful models of dresses.

"I'll just go alone, again …."

"What goes alone" cut Cedric into Isabella's room.

"Dad?" Vanessa and Isabella are surprised that Cedric suddenly arrives, lucky Aisnley moves quickly cover Selina with her body so that Selina can change into the form of a lizard.

"Good work" whispered Isabella making Aisnley blush in embarrassment.

"You're going with dad. Elena tonight can't go with dad because the twins don't know why, they suddenly feel itchy all over their bodies. Very worrying" said Cedric handed Isabella a box of dresses, "Wear this dress, it's the same color as the father's suit. You don't have to choose a dress for tonight's banquet, tomorrow you just choose another dress."

"Thank you dad." Isabella received the dress.

"You two get ready soon. Do not be long because your time is not much anymore" said Cedric reminded time has passed 1 hour.

"Because you already have a dress so you just wear that dress, my dress is already there and about ordering a dress .. We do it tomorrow together later, if you want we will go directly to the store tomorrow. See you later." Vanessa immediately left Isabella's room with Cedric, she wanted to prepare herself for the banquet because she was the main store tonight.

Selina and Aisnley can't get the dress they want tonight. But since they were also not going to go to the banquet, then it was fine for the two women not to get a dress tonight as they were going to buy a lot of dresses tomorrow to avenge their disappointment. Both women have a plan.

"Mom, my body is itching. Please do something!" pinta Carolina scratched her whole body which was itchy.

"Don't scratch!" Elena tied Carolina's hand like Charlotte's so as not to scratch, "Hold on, the ointment will be ready soon."

"It's easy for you to say that because you don't feel what you feel. After all how could the dress make us itch? where did you buy that dress? hold the boutique accountable" Charlotte upset.

"Ckckck, you seem to be suffering a lot" said Isabella standing in front of the twin bedroom door.
