5 Fate changing Decision.

Arumi and Aria returned back from the secret chamber.

Arumi said ''Our Kingdom, No our palace was completely infiltrated by the spies, otherwise, how did the information about your disguise got leaked? Something fishy is happening around us, from now onwards be more careful, I don't want the king's sacrifice to be in vain.''

''Also, control your recklessness.''

Aria said ''No kidding. Not only did they infiltrate, but they are also close to us; otherwise, how did they know about my disguise? Who knows, maybe the entire operation was their idea.''

''Yes! That's what I am worried about the most, suddenly we got the information about the spies, and you became hot blooded after hearing it and went on your own without informing me, I only got the information after you left the palace, don't do anything so stupid like this in the future, at least inform me before you make a decision.''

''Also, don't underestimate the enemy, they definitely know about your temper so they made use of it; be more careful in the future'' said Arumi.

''One more thing, I want to marry that person who saved you, I am going to take a gamble, no ordinary person can stay alive after getting pierced by the God Slaying Spear, he may not have any special abilities but I am sure he has some hidden secrets. It may come in handy to us: if he doesn't have any abilities/hidden secrets then it means I made a wrong gamble'' said Arumi.

''No way, I reject, what if he is an evil person? Are you going to sacrifice yourself?'' said Aria.

''What choice do you think I have? Now I am the Queen of the Frost Kingdom, our mother got killed when we are children, our father His Majesty got plotted 6 months back and was captured by the enemy kingdom, his life and death was uncertain, it was the time when they demand us something in return for his release. but I'm not sure what they are plotting from the past 6 months.''

''Those bastards are also cornering me in the royal court, they were plotting to marry their sons to us to become the emperor's themselves, most importantly none of them has any concern towards the country or its people, I'm not only taking this gamble; I'm also dragging that person into our mess'' said Arumi.

''But still, sacrificing yourself-''

''There are no buts, only if, if I don't make any decision now our kingdom will fall, we will become slaves for someone,... so, please understand and don't oppose me'' said Arumi.

Aria bit her lips, blood started to flow, she hated herself for being helpless,...

Arumi saw Aria biting her lips and said ''don't worry I'm not going to marry him for real, I will make a contractual marriage, I will talk with him first, if he needs something then I would like to make a deal with him: something like 'give and take'.

Saying that Arumi patted Aria's head.

Aria made a decision and said ''I will marry him so don't sacrifice yourself.''

Arumi hugged Aria and said ''And? What are you going to do after you marry him? Quarrel with him every day? What will you do if he is weak? Can you control your temper?''

''I said I will marry him because I don't have many preferences like you, if he is weak then I am fine as long as he is not a scum but what about you? If he is not a spy then whatever reason we use to justify ourselves in the end, we are still trying to use him. Most importantly if you marry him then he won't become the emperor and those bastards will try to force a marriage on me.''

''If you want to marry him, we need to change our identities, I can act like you but can you control your temper and act like me?'' asked Arumi.

Hearing Arumi's words Aria clenched her fits in Frustration.

While these sisters were having a serious discussion about theirs and the future of the kingdom; a maid arrived; she stood in front of the door and called ''Her Majesty!''

''Enter!'' said Arumi.

That maid came forward then kneeled and said ''that person her majesty ordered us to clean was washed cleanly, her majesty can visit him anytime.'' saying this the maid lowered her head waiting for Arimi's next order.

Arumi waved her hand and said ''You are dismissed.''

The maid retreaded from there.

''Her Majesty ha?'' whispered Arumi.

Both Arumi and Aria ended their conversation.

''Let's go and check how that guy looks,'' said Arumi.

Both the sisters once again went to visit Aaron Aurora.

…

In the medic room.

Old Gram kneeled and greeted ''Her Majesty, Princess Aria.''

Arumi waved her hands indicating him to raise.

''How is he?'' asked Arumi.

''He should wake up at any moment,'' saying this Old Gram moved the curtain away revealing Aaron Aurora's face.

Arumi and Aria were stunned! Not bad, 'at least he has good looks' thought the both of them.

Arumi called the bodyguards and said ''bring him to the inner palace.''

Old Gram was surprised hearing her order.

After that she asked Old Gram ''is there anything he needs?''

''None, Her Majesty'' replied Old Gram.

''Good'' saying this Arumi and Aria left the room.

''At least, his looks are not bad, what do you think? Is he your type?'' Arumi asked Aria.

''Hmph, looks are not important, who cares about it? If he is a weakling, his looks won't help him'' replied Aria.

''Really? Why do I have this feeling that he can use his looks to conquer women? Especially those women with high status, for example, you! You fell in love with him and then married him; isn't that mean he can use everyone here? So what if he is weak? He will have the power and status to command everyone.'' said Arumi.

''He will become the emperor of the Frost Kingdom if he didn't reject my offer: saving you is his luck or knowing him is our disaster?'' asked Arumi.

''Of Course, it's his luck, otherwise who else in the entire Frost Kingdom is qualified to marry you?'' said Aria.

''Now, tell me frankly, did your heart skip a beat when you saw him? How did you feel when he proposed to you? Don't lie if you love/respect me'' asked Arumi.

''It did, my heart skipped a beat: actually, I was moved when he proposed me, just imagine someone proposing to an ugly hunchbacked middle-aged woman who had some parts of her skin rotten? much less he was a 17-year-old kid, I may be unaware of his age at that time but he should know about it, right? and when he placed my hand to feel his heartbeat I was shocked! stunned! dumbfounded! his heart felt like it would explode at any moment.'' said Aria.

Arumi didn't make any comment she just listened to Aria.

''Wait until he wakes up; until then don't go anywhere ok? Let's talk with him and then make a decision, if he agrees to marry me then I will marry him on the spot and introduce him to the entire Frost Kingdom as the new Emperor, and tomorrow he will participate in the royal court as the Emperor shutting everyone's wicked mouth and their disgusting marriage plans'' said Arumi.

''Are you sure your gamble will success?'' asked Aria.

''Only time will tell. Now, stay in the palace and don't go anywhere, I have to check few documents, and,... other stuff related to the kingdom so I will take my leave,'' saying this Arumi left the place.

Aria went back to her place and summoned the Female Knight Lena who was with her when she got attacked.

The female knight appeared in front of Aria ''princess?''

''Did you find any leads about the attackers?''

''No princess not yet, our men are still searching for the leads, none of the bystanders witnessed anything, at least no one is willing to confess or willing to help us'' Lena said helplessly.

''Ok. Recall all our men back, it's a waste of time to search anymore'' said Aria.

''But princess, we haven't found the bastards who tried to assassinate you'' said Lena.

''It's no use searching for them, information on me was leaked, and the opposite party carefully planned for this assassination'' said Aria.

''Anyway, don't waste any more time/effort and just recall them back, now go.''

''Yes princess'' saying this Lena left

Aria wandered in the palace and finally arrived at the place where Aaron Aurora was placed.

She entered the room and sat beside the Bed. She looked at Aaron Aurora's face and thought 'who are you? Did you really love that ugly woman? If so, why? And why did you save me at the risk of your own life?'

She was having her own thoughts.

On the other side, Arumi is busy with her own work. She was making some preparations.

While everyone is busy in their own work/thoughts,... there is a reaction in Aaron.

He slowly opened his eyes.

Aria saw him opening his eyes and came out from her thoughts.

Both their eyes met, Aria felt her heart skip a beat.

Aaron Aurora's heart also started pounding.

He was puzzled by her appearance but still asked ''how are you, are you fine? Did you get injured/hurt anywhere,...''

Hearing him ask her about her(ugly women), Aria stood up and asked him with a serious face ''how do you know that I am her, the women you saved before?''

When she asked this question, she felt pained, heartbroken, disappointed,... She was disappointed in him. She felt disappointed on herself,... she doesn't even understand why she was feeling like this.

Aria thought 'so he already know about me that's why he proposed me,...'

Aaron Aurora didn't understand why she was feeling down, disappointed. He took her hand and placed it on his heart, letting her feel his heartbeat.

He said ''appearances may lie but my heart won't lie.''

''Appearances may lie but my heart won't lie''

''Appearances may lie but my heart won't lie''

....

Aria was touched hearing his words.

Feeling his loudly thumping heartbeat, she thought 'so it's true, he hadn't lied'.

For some reason, she felt relieved.
