Chapter 25 - Fool


    Ariana''s cheeks was scorching hot, hot from humiliation and anger. She had tears forming in the corner


    of her eyes. She wanted kill Diana for the way she spoke with the prince like she understood what he


    was saying. How can she? Diana was never smart or had knowledge of such. So why was she able to


    Diana''s jealousy towards her and him but instead she sat there wishing she hadn''t invited her at all.


    Maybe she should have listened to Diana when she warned her.


    She sat there with trembling hands wishing they would just be quite, and he would turn his attention


    back to her but instead he left quickly right after Diana had spoken her n.


    And Damon, when did he ever say thank you to Diana. He always looked towards her in hatred never


    talking to her formally, always coldly.


    She wiped her tears away. Ariana will find a revenge n that will definitely get her to kneel before her


    for forgiveness.


    "Mydy what happened?" Isabelle fast walked towards holding her dress buy the ends so she


    wouldn''t trip. "W-where is D-Diana?" she said with a sadden and stuttering voice wiping more tears


    from her eyes.


    Ariana could not shake away the way Damon was suddenly so interested in her spoken n.


    "Mydy why are you crying? Did that wretched brat upset you again?" Isabelle spat angrily, cursing


    Diana under her breath. "Isabelle, Diana had done so many things in front of the prince that made me


    upset" she sniffed.


    "I will inform the duke when he returns. His grace will do something about it don''t worry." Isabelle was


    confident about it knowing that the duke would punish her severely.


    "Thank you, Isabelle. Your always there for me" Ariana looked back, smiling at her loyal maid that has


    been beside her ever since she was born.


    "Now tell me mydy Ariana. What has she done to make you feel so heartbroken?" Isabelle said warm


    heartedly. "I will, once we arrive to my chambers".


    The rest of the way Isabelleforted Ariana by saying encouraging words. Ariana was in deep


    thoughts, reying the scenarios from this morning.


    Ariana and Isabelle arrived at Ariana''s room. She opened the door but froze instantly, her hands went


    cold, and her horrified eyes stared at the person who was sitting on the couch, a brown cloak around


    her, a ripped skirt tied around her waist covered in a few specks of dirt, twirling something metal in her


    hands.


    Those icy blues eyes was fixated on the leaf shaped metal. "Oh, you are finally here. I was wondering


    when you were going toe" Diana had a mischief grin across her face when she looked at her.


    "D-Diana" Ariana''s hands startled to tremble. She had never felt so terrified whening face to face


    with her half-sister, but something was giving her goosebumps just by looking at her. That mischief look


    in her eyes and smile was making her heart race in fear. Isabelle''s felt Ariana''s fear, seeing how pale


    Ariana''s face turned, her hands unable to stop trembling. Comforting her she held Ariana''s hand


    startling her a little.


    "Whatever happens, I will protect you" Isabelle whispered in Ariana''s ears but her eyes where on Diana


    in fear she would do something if she looked away.


    "Don''t worry I''m not here to hurt you, I''m just here for the promise you made me" Diana said getting up


    resulting in Ariana and Isabelle to step back frightened of the unusual looking dagger in her hand.


    Ariana gritted her teeth. "Isabelle get the gold" she gestured her.


    Isabelle scrunched her face in anger but obeyed herdies words. She rushed her way to the


    wardrobe, opening it she rummaged through Ariana''s things looking for the chest filled with gold.


    Ariana gave Diana a side look and in return Diana smiled, yet it was a narcissistic grin making Ariana


    irritated that she promised so much gold just for Diana to apany her for tea with the prince but that


    was just to make her lose her cool and attack her, but it didn''t, instead the tables had flipped.


    (Artemis UNO reversed the situation)


    To Isabelle, it felt like they were being robbed, robbed by a stupid and weakdy.


    Atst, she finally found the chest. She picked it up in a hurry nearly dropping it from sheer shock of


    Diana''s unusual scary behaviour.


    Diana sped her hands in joy. "It was nice doing business with you."


    Isabelle ced a brown pouch tied with a blue ribbon on the table for Diana who picked it up and


    started to jiggle it. The sound of metal hitting metal was heard.


    "You got what you wanted now leave" Ariana''s voice was still a little shaken.


    Diana rose an eyebrow, staring at Ariana in the same suspicious manner as this morning. Searching for


    any misleading information.


    "No" Diana answered, Ariana and Isabelle were stunned. "You got what you wanted now leave" Ariana


    was getting impatient with Diana who was being stubborn to leave.


    "Oh, you think I will just leave when I got the money" She threw the pouch back on the table.


    Ariana and Isabelle looked at each other in displeasing look.


    "What''s wrong? Not enough gold for you" Isabelle hissed baring her teeth.


    Diana shuffled her hair and sighed. "Do you morons think you can fool me like in the past".


    Isabelle and Ariana froze in panic, not uttering a word as their throats went dry. They couldn''t believe


    she wasn''t fooled by the trick.


    "You see" she continued while a coin appeared from nowhere, rolling it across her knuckles getting the


    Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.


    two to stare in dumbfound. "Each gold coin weighs about 34 grams and 50 of them would equal to" she


    paused, tapping her chin in thought while her eyes looked up the ceiling.


    "1,700 grams" a psychotic grin perked across her face. "And my dear associates this pouch only


    weighs half"
