In Search For Happiness

Chapter 44

Ariel went back to her room, following her Kal.
Alix and Lidia were in front of the room waiting for Ariel.
▶PK: "Ariel!! Ariel!! Why did you answer my mom like that?! She is the Empress!! Besides, why are you acting like this?! This kind of thing is common for men. Why are you making a big deal out of it?!"
▶Ariel: "Is cheating common?! Is betraying your wife something trivial?! I don't accept such a selfish mentality. "
▶PK: "But Ariel I'm a crown Prince the future Emperor."
▶Ariel: "So?! You can lie to me as much as you want and turn me into a stupid crown princess?! I already told you from the beginning. The truth, I only need you to tell me the truth and to inform me beforehand. Do you remember what did you tell me that day?! CAN you remember?!! Alright, I don't care about what you have promised me or told me. I don't care about whom you are going to sleep with and whom you are going to have kids with! But why princess Perci?!! Not only her but Carney as well?!!! " Kal opened his eyes in surprise.
▶PK: "Ha... how did you know?! Who told you that?!"
▶Ariel: "Kal, I might be kind but not stupid! After all, I have told you about Carney, how could you do that to me?! You could have chosen anyone but why Carney and princess Perci?!!!! " Ariel shouted and cried in frustration. Lidia and Alix entered the room to the shouting.
▶PK: "Ariel!! Tell me who told you that?!"
▶Ariel: "Carney herself! She sent you a letter but it was delivered to me on purpose when you went out of the city. She sent me a letter to meet her. Then do you know what did she give me?! she handed me your wedding ring and cravat! And I found a hidden letter in your office when I stopped by your office. What do you think about this Crown Prince Kal?! "
▶PK: "Ariel, please listen to me" Kal stepped near Ariel to hold her hands, however, Ariel dodged him.
▶Ariel: "If you want to talk then speak the truth but if you are going to lie then leave this room." Said angrily.
▶PK: "Ariel, what you have heard from Carney isn't like that! It's a misunderstanding! Listen to me! "
▶Ariel: "If what I have heard from Carney and this evidence is not the truth, then what is the truth?!"
▶PK: "It was a coincidence. That day when I was checking out the city I met Carney she was sick and had no money so I had to take care of her as she is your sister and a crown prince who had to help his people. And coincidentally she didn't have a place to stay so I had to take care of that too, and coincidentally she was weak so I had to stay with her because she had no one."
▶Ariel: "Coincidence Coincidence. All coincidences. Coincidentally you bought a mansion for her, Coincidentally, you let her be near you, Coincidentally, you let her seduce you, Coincidentally, you slept with her, and Coincidentally, I got to know all that!! Everything was a Coincidence. But there is one intentional thing. You intentionally lied to me!!!... When?! When did it happen?! Where?! And how?!"
▶PK: "Ariel, don't pay attention to that."
▶Ariel: "I asked you When?!! Answer me!!"
Kal hesitated to answer for a moment.
▶PK: "... For a while now... Not long after you have told me about her. But listen to me!... I didn't mean to... I... I was drunk."
When Kal said that, Ariel got even more disappointed and sneered.
▶Ariel: "Drunk?! Then when you were with Princess Perci, was it because you were drunk too?! If you said it was because you wanted them as a concubine or that you fell in love with them, or because of the truth that I did not accept to sleep with you. I won't be this angry. But you went back and had relations with them behind me because you were Drunk?! And they were the people who I have the attention to hurt me!! "
Lidia was heartbroken seeing Ariel in this condition and was angry about what prince Kal said. Alix didn't stop Ariel from doing anything or saying anything because he wanted her to end this by herself and to decide by herself. However, he also felt hurt and worried whenever he saw Ariel cry.
▶PK: "Ariel, I know it was my bad, I'm sorry."
▶Ariel: "The first time because you were drunk, then...was there the next time?!"
Prince Kal couldn't answer so he looked down.
▶Ariel: "You let Carney stay in a mansion because you were drunk right?! And you stayed with Princess Perci your Brother's wife because you were drunk right?! And you went to them to do it again and again because you were drunk again right?!" Prince Kal couldn't answer. Lidia started to cry because of Ariel.
▶Ariel: "If you weren't drunk then why did you do it again?! Why?!"
▶PK: "Ariel! I... I wanted to put them in their place and not hurt you. They came to me I thought by doing this I could protect you as a man and a husband. I wanted to be able to control them. I didn't want them to be superior to you. I wanted them to crawl to me and be their superior so they won't hurt you. It was just satisfaction."
▶Ariel: "Don't put me as an excuse for your own selfish desire. You are satisfied, but the person and the one who is hurt is me. You thought you were the superior?! You thought you were able to control them?! Let me tell you that this is not the case at all. Them, Carney, and princess Perci were the ones who wanted me to see everything and to let me know everything. They chose what you call your protection to control you and to hurt me. Carney and princess Perci are not the kinds of people who would accept to be seconds or thirds. They intended. They intended for me to know that you have chosen them and that you are together." "Kal!! Do you know what are you telling me now Kal?! Can you realize what you have been telling me now?! Can you see yourself?! It's all excuses and all bunch of lies. I don't believe in any of them! If you weren't ready to commit and you still wanted to have fun, why did you marry me?! Why did you tell me to trust you and to open my heart for you?! If you couldn't keep your promise, why did you promise me that you would make me happy and you would love only me? Or perhaps I was one of your fun and toys?!! Or is it because I was easy for you?!"
Prince Kal sighed a deep sigh.
▶PK: "Ariel, Ariel I'm sorry ok?! Don't be angry and calm down. It hasn't been that long since we have gotten married. Just forget all this ok sweetie?! "
▶Ariel: "No!"
▶PK: "See?! I'm trying to solve everything but you are still stirring trouble because I'm nice to you" Lidia wanted to hit Kal, no but she wanted to cut his tongue and his head right there.
▶Ariel: "What?! Now all those troubles are because of me? Since I have married you I have been dealing with your mother and the troubles she always gives me but I never complained to you, because I didn't want you to feel bad. But what now all those troubles occurred because of me?! And you say..." Ariel felt dizzy so she lost her balance. Lidia and Alix quickly rushed to Ariel to help her.
Prince Kal stood there only looking then he went out of the room slamming the door strongly.
