Chapter 25 - Fool
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
communicate with him without getting confused. Ariana had thought she would get something out of
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 plan.
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 plan that will definitely get her to kneel before her
for forgiveness.
"My lady 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 plan.
"My lady 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 my lady 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 Isabelle comforted Ariana by saying encouraging words. Ariana was in deep
thoughts, replaying 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 to come" 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 when coming 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 Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
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 her ladies 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 accompany 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 weak lady.
At last, 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 clasped her hands in joy. "It was nice doing business with you."
Isabelle placed 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
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"
