Chương 14: 14. Changed Attitude
The rain was still pouring down the entire territory of the Diamond Kingdom. The wind was very strong in some areas.
A medium-sized carriage had stopped in front of a cave. Two people disguised as royal guards, they immediately got off the horse carriage. Then they immediately took out a large chest containing a lot of food.
Bella also got out of the carriage. The woman released the two horses that were still tied in front of the carriage. She brought two horses into the cave so as not to rain.
All of Jackson's troops immediately cheered cheerfully. They welcomed Bella's arrival, especially when the chest filled with food was brought into the cave.
Jackson immediately approached his lover. He kissed Bella's forehead lightly. "Thanks, honey. You really do care about all of us."
But Bella's face looked very annoyed. Her hands clasped her chest. "Just this once I'm bringing you this much food. If Queen Victoria finds out about my lies, then our plan is over!!"
"Ah, take it easy honey. You've always been good at lying, so it's a very small thing for you." Jackson said with a smile.
Bella snorted softly. "I said just this once. If you ask me to do something like this again, I won't. Just find some food out there. Besides, you all can catch a lot of fish to burn too!!"
"Yeah, I won't ask for this anymore. Then have a seat, honey. You should eat too. I'll get some food for you. What do you want to eat?" Jackson asked gently.
Then Bella smiled. Her annoyance and tiredness were reduced when he received a gentle attitude from Jackson. "I'd like to eat roast beef slices with boiled broccoli, and get me some grapes."
"Alright my queen, I'll be right back and bring you some food." Jackson said.
Everyone was busy unpacking the contents of the food in the chest and arranging it all on a large wooden table. Very long big table. Because the number of Jackson's troops was really a lot.
Meanwhile, in Jackson and Bella's relationship, they both look more intimate. And Bella felt a very real change.
In the past, Jackson's attitude was very rude and often shouted at her. But now, Jackson's attitude is more gentle and always put Bella's comfort first.
Even though Jackson looked rude, he had never slept with Bella. Yes, and that's what made Bella want to get back into a relationship with him. Even though Jackson seemed rude and selfish, the man was still able to contain his urges.
Of course Jackson had slept with a lot of the comfort girls out there. But he excluded Bella. For him, Bella is very special in his life. Therefore, Jackson wants to make Bella the queen of the island.
And when Jackson reconnected with Bella, the man no longer came to the house where the comfort women were. Jackson again held back his desire, until he really could have Bella completely.
There is a reason that makes Jackson really take care of Bella. He could recognize Bella, because Bella had helped him when his leg was bitten by a wild dog. Bella helped him and nursed him until he recovered, and at that time only Bella was not afraid of him.
In everyone's heart, of course, there is a very tender heart.
Likewise with Jackson. He was born as an orphan, so he lived a very wild life. And for him, after getting to know Bella, everything changed. He felt he had a lot of love, and he felt more alive than ever.

In the evening, around half past twelve. The atmosphere of the Diamond Kingdom was naturally very calm. The guards still kept watch even though they took turns.
A horse carriage entered the palace. The two guards guarding the palace gates allowed the horse carriage to just enter.
Yes, Bella returned to the palace. With two people disguised as royal guards.
After the horse carriage had stopped at the appropriate place, Bella immediately got out. Then she took the time to escort the two men in disguise to a secret door.
The secret door is located near the food waste dump. So that the two men could get out and head back to Jackson.
After the task was finished, Bella immediately took a deep breath. Then she entered the royal kitchen through the back door. But the girl almost fell when she just entered the kitchen.
Athena seemed to be standing with her back leaning against the cupboard which contained many plates. The girl glared at Bella.
"Where have you been?" Athena asked who cared about Bella.
Bella tried to be relaxed and took off the black cloth robe. "What's your business asking that?"
"I heard from Helen that you went to send food to the next village. Is that true?"
"Hmm, as you heard." Bella said in a nonchalant manner. Her gaze was not on Athena. Bella always looked the other way.
And Athena could see other people's body language. She knew that her friend was lying. "You can't fool everyone, Bella." Athena said firmly.
"What do you mean?" Bella asked who was pretending not to understand.
"I'm not stupid. The delivery of food to the next village was done three days ago. And the ones who sent the food there must be Frans and his two bodyguards. King Arthur must have given the task to Frans. He never told you to. Now to be honest with me, where did you take all that food? And for whom?"
Bella took another deep breath. "I know you're not stupid, Athena. But can you not bother me just this once?"
"I never bothered you. I was always there for you and I was always there to help you. And now, I care about you. Don't tell me you're in a relationship with that creepy guy again?!"
"Then what if I go back with Jackson? If you don't like my relationship with him, then you don't have to meddle in my business. And about that, I hope you don't report it to the queen. If that happens, it means you want to kill me!!!" Bella said firmly.
Those words made Athena feel angry and annoyed. Bella then walked away and left her.
Athena's right hand clenched into a fist. Her best friend had completely changed. She wanted to reprimand Bella by giving her piercing words. But Athena couldn't, her heart was too soft to give Bella such words.
Athena only hoped that Bella would not do something despicable with Jackson.
