In Search For Happiness

Chapter 26

The Crown Prince Kal was in a meeting with his ministers.
▶👤: "Your highness! I think you should decide who would be the crown princess. We and the netizens can't wait any longer!"
▶👤: "Yes, your highness! you know that the crown princess role is so important!"
▶PK: "And because it's important I chose Lady Ariel for that. I believe that netizens will like her. I think she is suitable for this position."
▶👤: "Your highness! It has been a month! We can't wait for lady Ariel! Our time is running."
▶👤: "Yes, besides, Lady Ariel is just a Baron's daughter. You need to choose a lady from a powerful family."
Crown Prince Kal slapped the table.
▶PK: "How about you get married in my stead, huh?!" Said annoyingly.
Suddenly, someone opened the meeting room and quickly informed the Crown Prince that Ariel has regained her consciousness. As soon as Prince Kal heard the news, he rushed out of the meeting room and headed towards Ariel's room.

▶Ariel: "Meg? Mer? .... No... No it's...Not what I'm thinking right?? Please tell me I'm wrong! Meg? Mer? Please, look at me look at my eyes and tell me I'm wrong. It's not that, right?! That... It's not " Ariel's tears started to fall and started to murmur to herself.
▶Ariel: "No... No way there is no way... Alin... Alin... He... No no... He... Maybe it wasn't him... It's not him" Meg and Mer burst into tears at Ariel's condition. The Imperial Dr tried to calm Ariel down.
Ariel looked at them once more. And by this Ariel knew that it was all true but she refused to accept the truth. For her, Alin was the first person who treated her nicely. He always made her smile, feel at ease, he made her breathe and forget all her worries and troubles. To Ariel, Alin was like Arthur, a ray of hope and bright sunshine. Ariel regretted not staying with him longer when he asked. She hated herself for always making him disappointed and leaves him with a sad awkward smile. She hated herself for not making Alin smile or happy. She blamed herself for all that. Ariel started remembering every single moment with Alin. Ariel groaned in the pain of losing Alin. Ariel burst into tears and began to cry like a child. She couldn't stop crying. Her heart ached her so much and it felt empty and lonely.
Prince Kal rushed to Ariel's room and found her crying hard and she looked like she was in so much pain. He rushed to her and held her to calm down but she didn't stop and couldn't calm down.
▶PK: "Ariel, please calm down. Ariel! What's wrong?!" Prince Kal turned to the Imperial Dr
▶PK: "What's wrong what happened?! Why she is like that?!"
▶Imperial dr: "... Your highness, lady Ariel knew about Duke Alin"
Prince Kal knew that Alin and Ariel were close. And he knew once Ariel learns about the truth she will be sad. However, he never imagined that she would be this sad. Prince Kal knew that Alin is dead now, however, he couldn't help but feel envious of him. He couldn't help but feel jealous of Alin for leaving a place in Ariel's heart like that, and for making Ariel feel this pain of losing him.
The Imperial Dr decided to give Ariel a calming drug since she seems not to able to calm down.
After giving the drug to Ariel. Ariel calmed down and fell to sleep. Meg and Mer didn't want to leave Ariel alone so they stayed in the room. Prince Kal and The Imperial Dr stepped outside. Prince Kal sighed then asked about Ariel's condition.
▶Imperial Dr: "... It seems...Lady Ariel is going through some depression for this moment. I'm not sure yet. We have to see tomorrow. However, her physical health is better now but still, she is weak because she just woke up."
Prince Kal nodded his head and allowed for the Imperial Dr to step away.
Prince Kal is pressured right now because of the ministers about the crown princess position. However, he still thinks that Ariel is the best for this position right now. So he decided to wait a little bit longer.

The next day the imperial doctor checked on Ariel. Ariel looked lifeless, and no matter what question he asked her or talk to her she won't answer him. The Imperial doctor sighed and shook his head to Prince Kal.
▶ Imperial Dr: "Lady Ariel, is going through depression. I don't know when it would last. So now it all depends on her."
Prince Kal sighed.
▶PK: "In that case please stay a little bit longer. Mag, Mer take Care of Lady Ariel. Give her anything's she needs."
▶Meg&Mer: "As you wish your highness."

Meg sent a letter to Ariel's home to inform everybody about Ariel's condition.
Mrs.pax read the letter and cried.
▶Mrs. Pax: "Oh! My dear~ why do you have to suffer like this. What did this beautiful child do to deserve this," said while crying
As soon as Arthur knew that Ariel has woken up he wanted to go to visit her. However, the Baroness said it's not proper at this time. So Arthur went to Mrs. Pax and agreed to visit her after the lessons are finished.
Carney threw the flower vase on the ground when she heard that Ariel has woken up. But as soon as she knew that Ariel is going through depression, her mood changed and began to sing and eat sweets happily.
