The Arrabella Twice Lives
Chapter 8 The masked man
Arabella still confined herself in her room, after the voices of Ethan and Peter were not heard anymore she was sure that even the two of them were tired of persuading her.
" Oh good, they're gone. I could be alone again " said Arabella
" Miss, are you okay?" asked Felix who was suddenly behind him
Arrabella stands up shocked to see Felix in her room and brings food for Arabella.
" Felix ? why are you here?" ask Arabella in shock
" I'm sorry to surprise you, it's because I'm worried about you. Miss hasn't eaten anything yet, has she? I just want to take this, I'm sorry I've been so presumptuous" Felix said softly
" Thank you Felix, I'll eat it later. You can go now" Arabella said
" Okay, your lady just recovered. I hope the miss spends her food huh" Felix said of concern
" Yes well, " replied Arabella who still looks sad
("Miss still looks sad ") Felix's inner sadness
" Why's mama's cheek?" asked Felix who saw Arabella's cheeks flushed red
" It's okay, I hit the door. Felix, come back. If my father and brother knew you were here, they could punish you again" Arabella said with a smile
" It's okay, I'm happy to be in the law because miss "Felix is smiling
" But I'd be sad if you're in the law" said Arabella
" Miss, will be sad because of me?" ask Felix happy
" Of course, I'd be sad if people who cared about me like you, Daisy and Layla, were punished or were in trouble. Therefore, leave immediately "said Arabella
(" I not only care about the lady, but I like the lady, even though it's not allowed but I still like the lady ") Felix's inner self is full of feelings
" Yes, ladies, I'll go. Miss, don't sleep too late" Felix said with a smile
" Okay, Felix this is the first and last time you've been in my room through the window. I'll be mad if you do it again, okay?" Arabella reminded
" Yes, lady, I was just about to say that. " Felix smiled happily

The next day, Arabella opens the door to her room and sees Ethan asleep at her doorstep.
" sister? how long has he been here? is the shirt the same as yesterday? is he sleeping here? " Arabella wonder
Ethan opens his eyes and sees Arabella staring at him.
" Abel, have you opened the door yet?" ask Ethan kindly
" Yes, I was claustrophobic in the room. My sister is awake too, right? wouldn't it be better for you to have breakfast and take a shower, would you?" ask Arabella while looking at Ethan's disheveled appearance
(" I didn't know that she would wait all night, now I'm the one who feels guilty ") Arabella's inner heart is not good
" I'll do it if you want to talk to me first" Ethan said forcefully
" Don't kidnap Ethan ! if you want to talk to me, go take a shower first" Arabella said firmly
" Okay, you wait in the dining room. There's Peter and dad" said Ethan
("at least he's spoken in a normal tone to me, which means his anger has subsided, right?") ethan was relieved
" It is good "the word Arabella agrees
Arabella went to the dining room, and there was Peter and Duke Reese.
" Good morning Brother" said Peter kindly
" Good morning my son" said Duke Reese kindly
" Good morning, father, Brother Peter" replied Arabella politely
Arabella sat at the dinner table and saw Peter and Duke Reese standing still.
" why are you guys quiet? no eating?" ask plain arabella
" yes we're going to eat, you're also eating a lot" said Peter nervously
Soon, Ethan sits down at the dinner table. They have breakfast together, and when Ethan, Peter and Duke Reese are about to set out to do their job.
" You are careful" Arabella reminded
Ethan, Peter and Duke Reese apologized to Arabella for their actions yesterday, and Arabella also apologized to her father and two brothers for making them anxious and will be more careful. He also remembered his promise of not getting involved with the crown prince.
But, what happened was the opposite of Arabella's desire.
After the rumor spread, at the court of Clarines the King began to think about the election of the crown princess candidate as soon as possible, he gathered the nobles to hold a meeting. All the nobles present insinuated Duke Reese out of envy that the crown prince was paying attention to his daughter.
" Isn't it obvious that her crown princess is the daughter of Duke Reese, the King's highness?" asked one of the nobles with an envious tone
" I'm sorry Mr Marquess El, please pay attention to your words did I ever say that my daughter would become the crown princess?" duke Reese said angrily
" Silent everyone ! don't argue in front of me !" shouted the angry King
All the nobles were silent.
" for the election of the crown princess, her candidate will be announced during the crown prince's maturation party" the King said in a thunderous voice
The meeting with the nobility was over, the King asked to speak to Duke Reese. They spoke very seriously, I don't know what they were talking about it made Duke Reese uncomfortable.
**
The Collete residence..
Claire hears rumors about Arabella becoming the next crown princess, and about the crown prince paying attention to Arabella. He is further upset to learn that Camille's daughter is getting closer to Arabella.
" Uncle? how'this? that wicked girl, she is unlikely to be the crown princess right? " ask Claire sadly
" Look down, that girl won't be the crown princess. Even though you won't be the crown princess, she can't either" Oscar said convincingly
" But how could the crown prince be interested in her? wasn't he interested in me, uncle? " ask Claire sadly
" Tell me, do you want the crown princess position and you're serious?" ask Oscar seriously
" of course uncle, besides I love the crown prince I also want to be the next queen. But, can I be uncle?" claire said seriously
" if you are serious and serious. Then this uncle of yours will go to great lengths to risk everything to make you the Queen of the future. I'll get rid of all your obstacles towards that road, therefore you should also try !" exciting Oscar spirit
" Yes uncle, because of uncle's support I will try. I will be the wife of the crown prince and the next Queen is me !" claire is full of ambition
" Good, that's my niece. " Oscar smiled happily

Shortly after the departure of her father and two brothers, Arabella changed into a trouser suit instead of the usual skirt. Both of his servants were shocked to see that.
" Miss, where are you going with clothes like that?" ask Daisy in shock
" Hehe .. of course I want to explore, I mean practicing the sword " replied Arabella cheerfully
" Practicing swords? didn't the duke master already ban him?" ask Layla wonder
" No, I asked my father and brother for permission. They allowed me to learn the sword to protect myself, and I was free to determine wherever I wanted to learn the sword "light Arabella pleased
" Oh so, then we should also get ready" Daisy said
" no, I'll just go with Felix" Arabella said
" how can we leave Miss?" ask Layla
" You have prepared a snack for me, yes, you don't have to worry about Felix being with me" Arabella said
A few minutes later, Arabella and Felix were ready to leave by train.
" Miss, wait ! miss got a gift and a letter from Miss Megan Benedict and Miss Aida Carsien" Daisy said
("It's a good start, they used to be hostile to me. Now they're my friend ") Arabella's inner happy
Arabella opened the letter and read it, she looked happy and smiling to herself. Then he and Felix went to a sword training ground in the middle of the city and many practiced swords there.
" Miss, are you sure you want to practice swords in a place like this? " ask Felix in disbelief
" yes. I heard here the birth of the legendary swordsman in the future " replied Arabella spirit
" Miss what is it talking? the time is coming?" ask Felix didn't understand
" Once, I'm sure I'll meet my teacher here" Arabella said
" This is where prince Aiden practices the sword and he is famous as a strategic war warrior, and his mysterious teacher. Ah ...I don't remember what his name is.. By the way, Prince Aiden, what was his face like? I heard that he was more handsome than Eugene, if he were the queen's son, he would be the crown prince and instead of Eugene, I hope that in this life I would be able to know him "inner Arabella
Meanwhile, Aiden and his two bodyguards intend to practice swords there as well. Aiden and Lorenzo, who had recognized Arabella's face, were shocked to see Arabella there and wearing men's clothes.
" Why is he here? " ask Aiden in shock
" What's with your expression that's noble? isn't your highness really looking to see her, right? " ask Lorenzo with a smile
" I mean why would he be here (in a place like this) ?" ask Aiden wonder
("In the past, I didn't meet him here but at the palace. Why would he be in a place like this? what does she do with clothes like that anyway?") inner Aiden
" Wow..she's a pretty girl, Lorenzo, right?" demian said charmed while staring at Arabella from a distance
" Demian, you want to die?" Lorenzo reminded
" Is she the girl who is the prince's majesty?" ask Demian new ngeh
" Yes, she's the girl" Lorenzo replied
Felix and Arabella ask the people there about the existence of the mysterious teacher.
" I'm sorry, do you know where I can meet the legendary sword teacher ?" ask Arabella friendly
" Miss, why are you asking the professor? " ask the Man 1
" Of course I want to learn the sword" replied plain Arabella
" A beautiful girl like a miss, like her is not suitable for practicing swordsmanship. Later your pretty hands will hurt miss " said Man 2 with a smile
" ye! you don't speak disrespectfully to my lady !" exclaim Felix
" Yes, miss, not to mention that your beautiful face will be scratched by a sword" said the 3rd Man with a laugh
" They laugh at the lady, how dare they !" inner Felix was angry and he started to draw his sword
" Basic brazen men !" inner Arabella upset
Arabella kicked and hit the man who laughed at her.
" Who's hurt now?" ask Arabella upset
" How dare you little girl !" said Man 1 was angry and was about to hit Arabella.
However, a sword landed right on the man's shoe and the man could not move. Some of the men there saw him and were shocked, they immediately saluted the masked man.
" Honor the great teacher!" exclaim a group of men with swords
Aiden wearing the mask walked over to Arabella and the man who was bothering her earlier.
(" Who is this guy? why does he look familiar? her aura was so powerful ") inner Arabella wondered
" As I teach my swordsmanship it's not to laugh at others and be arrogant" Aiden said coldly
" I'm sorry master teacher, it's just unthinkable that a little girl wants to learn swordsmanship" said the man in fear
" Why apologize to me? " ask cynical Aiden
" Great teacher.. " The man was shocked
" Sorry to this lady, then reflect on your mistakes. You will be punished "Aiden said firmly
" Wow..this man like him is not an ordinary person, is he the legendary sword teacher? when was he young? " inner Arabella guessing
" This man like him is extremely powerful, he exudes a kstarian aura within him. And that's not unusual. Ah I just remembered, his aura was almost similar to that of the "inner crown prince Felix felt amazed
" Miss, I'm sorry for being disrespectful to the lady" said the man, bowing respectfully
" It's okay don't you repeat again "the word Arabella still feels bad
" I was the one who wanted to see you, but instead you came alone Bella "inner Aiden was happy
" Miss, I apologize for the man's irreverence" Aiden said
" It's okay, forget it. I'm not an easy person to hold a grudge " said Arabella casually
" Well, miss is kind" Aiden said
" I'm sorry, I want to ask you where is the legendary sword master ?" ask Arabella straight to the point
("Is this lady not good at small talk?") inner Lorenzo
(" You always surprise me Bella ") Aiden's inner self
" Miss, this is the legendary sword master you're looking for!" demian shouted pointing at Aiden
Arabella and Felix looked at Aiden as if in disbelief, and there was doubt.
("What is that look? how dare they stare at the prince's majesty like that") Lorenzo's mind was upset
" aha.. " Arabella suddenly laughed
Lorenzo, Demian, Aiden, and Felix are shocked to see it and also astonished that Arabella suddenly laughed.
" Miss, is something wrong?" ask Aiden seriously
" No. nothing is wrong haha. it's just, you guys make an acting club there !" arabella chuckled with a little laugh
" Well miss, how dare you go to the mul. I mean how dare you laugh at our great teacher !" yell Lorenzo yelled
" Don't yell at my lady !" felix is angry with Lorenzo
Lorenzo and Felix stared at each other as if they wanted to fight.
" Felix is, stop it. Masked master, don't trick me huh, you're not a master teacher are you?" ask Arabella seriously
" If I said yes, would you believe me?" ask Aiden flat
" I don't believe you masked master "Arabella replied quickly
" what's the reason you don't believe it?" ask Aiden seriously
" You want an honest answer? or lying?" ask Arabella with a smile
("Bella, do you always smile like this at all guys?") aiden's mind is upset
" Of course be honest" Aiden replied annoyed
(" My only feeling? or does he look upset right now?") inner Arabella
" You look young and unbelievable, the masked master "Arabella replied
(" How dare the girl to the noble prince ! ") Demian's inner fear
" What do you think a master teacher should be like?" asked Aiden with a faint smile
" i. that.. " Arabella looks nervous
(" Why do I look nervous in front of him? no, I can't lose to her!") inner Arabella
Aiden seemed to enjoy the expression of Arabella's face that looked annoyed at him. Aiden's two friends were astonished that Aiden was wearing a mask when he met Arabella instead of showing her handsome face to attract Arabella's attention. Aiden said that he had to keep his identity a secret first as a prince to Arabella.
***
Meanwhile, at the King's palace...
" So, any word from Prince Aiden?" the king asked Philip (his loyal bodyguard)
" Your Majesty, I heard that Prince Aiden has arrived in this country. But, the prince has not wanted to return to the palace" Philip explained
" Well, do you know when he's going to the palace?" ask the King
" The prince's majesty said that he would return to the palace during the feast of the crown prince's glorious maturity" Philip replied
" Alright, you can go" said the King
Philip left the King's office. The king was sad to hear it.
" I knew it wasn't easy for him to accept me, Ria. You're not gonna be mad at me, are you? I'm not ignoring our son, but it's your wish for him to stay outside the palace. Can I embrace it now and do my duty as a father? Ria's.. " Said the King while staring sadly at the painting of a beautiful black-haired woman.
Without the King knowing it, the queen saw him silently and looked hurt. Then the queen walked closer to the King.
" How long have you been here, Queen?" ask the King coldly
" It's been 16 years, you still can't turn away from her "inner Queen Freya hurt
" Since you spoke to Philip and looked at the woman's painting "the Queen replied in a cold tone
" Isn't it rude of you to hear my talk?" ask the cynical king
" I am your wife, your majesty. I'm your Queen, can't I know my own husband's business?" ask Queen Freya sadly
The king walked away, and Queen Freya blocked his path.
" I have not finished speaking, Majesty the King !" exclaims the Queen is upset
" What the fuck, Queen? " ask the cynical King
" Why did you bring back the girl here without my knowledge?!!" ask the Queen to be angry
" Queen you've crossed your line, who says you can call my first queen that woman? and that kid, he's my son. He was the first prince of this kingdom !" The King looked at the Queen and looked angry
" queen? that lowly woman the Queen? I am your queen, your majesty ! and that kid, he's not a prince. He's an illegitimate child, from the tacit marriage you had with Canaria !" the Queen shouted in wrath
The king was about to slap the Queen but she clenched her hand again.
" Whatever you plan this time with the nobles behind me, you won't be able to stop me from bringing my own son back to this palace, and he's not an illegitimate child" the King said sternly
" Why your majesty? why do you still think of him to this day? why can't I be the only one in your heart ? though I am the Queen, and I am your wife "The Queen is heartbroken
" You know the Queen, you are indeed the Queen of this land. She is the Queen in my heart. Forever I'll just love her, you should know that better than anyone. " Said the King firmly
" I won't stay silent ! I will oppose the return of the child ! " snouted the Queen annoyed
" Just try " said the King coldly
The king left the queen crying alone and she looked annoyed.
" I know Caesar, our marriage is just a political marriage. However, I am really happy to marry you because you are the one I love. But, you always think of Canaria, still I cannot enter your heart even though I have given birth to a son and daughter for you, and get rid of Canaria forever.. I remain insignificant in your eyes, Caesar "The Queen's heartbroken inner voice

At the sword training ground..
Aiden duels with Felix to prove to Arabella that he is indeed the legendary sword master that everyone is saying. Felix was easily defeated by Aiden.
" I'm sorry miss, I lost" Felix said regretfully
("The ability of this sword master teacher, indeed cannot be underestimated. He's full of strategy and his attacks are so quick. ") Felix's inner self shows admiration for Aiden
" It's okay Felix" said Arabella casually
(" Sure enough, no wonder he was referred to as a legendary sword teacher. He was able to defeat Felix who came from the imperial white knight with ease ") Arabella's inner thinking
" Guru is great ! great !" demian shouted while clapping
" How about miss ? do you still doubt my teacher?" asked Lorenzo with a sour face
" Well, I believe I believe. "Arabella replied
Arabella walked up to Aiden and bowed respectfully in front of him.
" Teacher, let me be your disciple" said Arabella
" So, my student?" ask Aiden
" Yes, please teach me swordsmanship !" exciting Arabella spirit
Aiden looked at Arabella with seriousness, while Arabella looked at Aiden with hope.
