Love Story : Shameless

Is All That True?

"What's the matter? I've never seen you this worried again?" Ayana asked softly, looking at Bella's beautiful eyes, who seemed still hesitant to tell her, but she felt she had to tell Ayana because if Archie didn't listen to her, at least Archie would listen and trust her grandmother.

Bella took a deep breath, trying to calm herself first to be able to tell this to Ayana.

"I just found out that Archie and Suri are in a relationship, they love each other," Bella said directly.

Hearing that, Ayana looked shocked, her eyes that were already filled with wrinkles were enlarged, she closed her open mouth, gaping in disbelief at what Bella said, didn't she hear wrong?

"Really? How do you know this?" Ayana asked, still in disbelief, blood love was not even just blood, fellow nobles had been forbidden for a long time, how could this even happen in the royal environment?

"I read Suri's diary and I also saw them hugging, Archie also kissed Suri's forehead, I think that's enough proof for me that they do have a relationship," Bella said seriously to Ayana so that Ayana would believe what she said.

"How can this happen? We are too free for them to be close together, never thought this could happen," said Ayana, looking away as if thinking, who knows where their fault.

"I also don't know Mother, I was also shocked to find out, I thought they were only close to siblings and often they were together, but apparently…" Bella said, feeling that she failed to educate her child.

"I was suspicious, I saw them chatting so closely several times, Suri's treatment of Archie was different from the way he got along with William, but I think it's just because Suri and William often fight so they don't look close, even this afternoon they also danced very lovingly until I felt like separating them, it turned out that my suspicions were right, "Ayana said seriously staring at all directions, trying to remember the moment.

"Yes, they can't be together right?"

"No, they can't, they have the same blood, you know what happens if they unite, Suri is the only descendant of Angga, while Archie is the only descendant of Aksa, if they unite, the best thing that can happen is that they won't. have children, the worst is…. "Queen Ayana said staring at Bella, Bella knows what the worst thing is, she doesn't want it to happen, she won't let it happen.

"I can't let that happen, Mom," Bella said with sad eyes, shaking her head a few times before she lowered her head.

"I'm not going to let that happen either, absolutely not allowed to happen, let's have to talk about this with Archie now, they really lack knowledge about this side of the family," Ayana said with a stern face.

Bella nodded weakly, Ayana and Bella immediately stood up, they immediately came out and immediately headed to Archie's room immediately.

Ayana stopped right in front of Archie's door, she immediately knocked with a strong and hurried as if Archie was asleep, Ayana wanted to wake him up, this must be done for them tonight, they can't delay it anymore.

Archie, who was reading a book on his bed, immediately frowned, who was knocking at his door so loud at night? he then got out of bed, walked to the door of his room and quickly opened the door.

Archie seemed surprised to see his grandmother and aunt there this night because usually they never bothered him at night, even seeing his grandmother and aunt together like this just coming to him is not uncommon.

"Queen Mother, Her Majesty The Queen," Archie greeted him.

"Are we bothering you? You have something to talk about Grandma, can we come into your room?" Ayana said firmly, Archie frowning.

"Please come in," Archie said opening the door wider, he still didn't know what his grandmother and aunt wanted to talk to him, even though his aunt hadn't been in his room in years.

"Have a seat," Archie said invitingly, knowing that his grandmother and aunt would not sit down if they weren't invited, a thing they accepted first.

Ayana and Bella sat side by side, while Archie sat on a single sofa close to them, he still felt awkward about this, there must be something important that his grandmother had to step in.

"What's up Grandma and Auntie coming up so late?" asked Archie again, his voice deep.

Ayana and Bella looked at each other, but Ayana soon took over as the oldest person there.

"I'm sorry to bother you at night like this, but Archie, there is news that really surprised me tonight and I want to hear it directly from you, Archie are you and Suri in a relationship?" Ayana asked directly.

Archie who listened carefully to all the words of his grandmother was immediately shocked by the last words of his grandmother, he turned his body back, how did his grandmother know? he already knew, sooner or later their relationship would also be recognized by the kingdom, he was already prepared for this but did not expect it to be this way uncovered. Archie's face looked very shocked.

"Archie, is that true?" Bella asked looking at Archie, Archie's still looking surprised eyes moved to his aunt, staring at Bella's face, which looked sad.

Archie grit his teeth, his fists clenched, how did it come to be?

"If that's true, Grandma asked you not to continue," said Ayana immediately took a firm decision, she didn't care if it was true or not but she had to make it clear to Archie, she shouldn't have anything to do with Suri.

"But we love each other," said Archie who could no longer hold himself back and he said that the highest decision on work was in Ayana's hands if her grandmother had said that, it meant it had to be done.

Ayana and Bella who heard that were still surprised even though they already knew, it was true, Archie and Suri really loved each other.

"How long?" Bella asked again, still trying to be as gentle as possible, so that Archie could stay comfortable getting it all out to Bella.

"Since we were little," Archie said again firmly but quietly.

"Why? You cousins?" Ayana asked again in disbelief, she held her forehead, her head felt dizzy, Bella felt sad, she wanted to forbid it but could not bear it, love could not possibly be prohibited, if it was forbidden it would be very torturous, but if not forbidden

"We know we are cousins but distant cousins, I've been looking for information, many people are marrying their own cousins," explained Archie to his grandmother and aunt who looked at him in shock and even his aunt looked even sadder.
