Not the Novel World
9. Meet again

The sun had already revealed its light but Lilian was still soundly asleep in her thick blanket. Rosa who entered her room exhaled heavily upon seeing Lilian still faithful to her blanket.

"Miss, let's wake up this morning, Mr and Madam will be angry if you know she hasn't woken up yet." Said Rosa while pulling her blanket.

"Rosa let me sleep for a while I'm still sleepy." Said Lilian hoarsely.

"Hurry up Miss." Said Rosa while continuing to pull Lilian's blanket.

"Haisss Rosa let me sleep, ethics classes take up my bedtime." Lilian.

Rosa breathed a rough breath when Lilian did not want to wake up from her sleep, she finally resigned and chose to prepare food for Lilian.

Indeed 2 weeks ago Lilian took an ethics class. He studied from morning until night until his sleep was drained. After the tea banquet at Lilian's palace ran towards her room leaving the people confused. Arriving in the room he ransacked his room looking for a diary that Lilian might have written first, but the book he was looking for did not exist. He who was tired had laid his body on the bed and involuntarily fell asleep. In the morning, he started taking ethics classes and other classes.

While the news of his expertise in archery was widespread and quickly everywhere made the Duke Marven family initially overwhelmed to handle it. During the 2 weeks of learning ethics makes the rumors increasingly inaudible again because Lilian is invisible because he is busy pursuing his ethics class.

Lilian wriggled in her sleep and slowly opened her eyes, and she grabbed her blanket and sat down. He was looking for Rosa's whereabouts but the one he was looking for did not show her nose. He decided to clean up and walk to the bathroom.

After finishing the bath and fully dressed Lilian stared at her reflection in the mirror, She smiled and muttered, "Beautiful." Suddenly Rosa came in and carried a tray of food in her hand.

"Miss please eat first." Rosa Say.

"Have you eaten?" Ask Lilian.

"It's Miss." Rosa Say.

Lilian nodded her head and began to eat her food in silence.

"Rosa I want to get out of the streets today." Said Lilian after finishing her meal.

Rosa seemed to be hesitant with Lilian's words. "But Miss, what if you don't allow it?"

"I've been locked up here for two weeks Rosa, I can die of boredom here." Lilian said annoyedly.

"But how can we convince Mr, Madam and your sister Miss?" Rosa Say.

"Yes, you just use the lie that we often use to get out of the house." Said Lilian lightly.

Rosa breathed a rough breath. "Alright." he said.

°°°

After getting permission from his father, his mother and brother who took a very long time Lilian could breathe a sigh of relief because she could breathe fresh air again.

Lilian breathed deeply into the air around her as if she had only felt freedom after all these years of being confined.

They choose to go to the market to just buy a snack, during the Lilian ethics class at a typical snack commonly sold in the market and who would have thought Lilian even really liked it.

When choosing the snack he was going to buy, Lilian smelled what had always been an opium for her, "Cotton candy." she murmured. He looked to the right and left looking for the origin of the smell until he walked in the direction of the smell. When Lilian was busy looking for the origin of the smell, Lilian did not realize that she had walked far away from Rosa.

From that moment he could not find a seller who sold cotton candy and finally he gave up when he was tired, he turned around and only realized that Rosa did not follow him. He tiptoed and looked right and left looking for Rosa but because the crowded market atmosphere made him unable to find Rosa.

Lilian even cursed herself for being too focused on the direction of the smell that made her not realize which direction she took earlier while walking. Lilian exhaled heavily and tried to find Rosa's whereabouts, but Lilian had not been able to find Rosa.

Lilian kept trying to find Rosa until she came out of the market, exhausted, and sat down to rest on a wooden block across the street. His hands fanned his face from the heat and after thinking for a long time he decided to go home let his bodyguards alone will look for Rosa he thought.

After Lilian walked far enough she was confused which way she usually went with Rosa when she went to the market, he looked to the right and to the left hoping there was someone he could ask but the road was very quiet.

From afar he heard a clanking sound like iron, Lilian walked along to the sound. The longer the clanging sound was getting bigger and not just one voice that Lilian heard there were several clanking sounds. Until Lilian reached the source of the sound, she rounded her eyes perfectly, she felt her legs unable to move, her heart beating rapidly and her throat choking.

In front of there Lilian saw some people who had been lying on the ground with a lot of blood. The twang sound was produced from the sword used by several people who were now attacking each other.

It was seen that some people who had a slightly shabby shirt were shrouding two people, even though they were just the two of them yet they were very dominating the fight. Lilian who watched the fight instead of running away she did not even move a little from her position.

One of them even now approached Lilian and swung the sword towards Lilian but before the sword touched her skin a hand pulled her away from the sword.

Lilian could not even respond to anything so surprised, she only felt her body being pulled in the direction of the movement of the person who saved her. Until suddenly his hand was pulled strong enough to run away from the place.

After running far enough Lilian threw her hand from the grasp of the person who had pulled her. Lilian inhaled as much air as she could, with a breath that was still dull she looked at the person who had pulled her.

"Are you going to make me die of suffocation?" Lilian said annoyedly.

The man seemed to think and then nodded. "Good too, than to die of being cut."

Lilian gaped in disbelief at the man's answer. "YOU.." said Lilian was cut off because the man interrupted.

"You should be grateful." Hanging said.

Lilian frowned confused "Thankful why ? Thankful that I didn't die cut off but died out of breath?" Lilian said more annoyed.

"Thank you for helping me." Answer's cuek.

"Did I ask you a favor?" Lilian raised her voice.

The man raised his eyebrows and pulled Lilian's hand back.

"Where are you taking me?" Ask Lilian.

Lilian was completely clueless with the person's way of thinking and then forcibly withdrew her hand again.

"Are you crazy?" Lilian asked who was already really upset.

The man exhaled heavily and then looked right at Lilian. "You said yourself that if you didn't ask for help, I'd give you back to where you were."

"Look, you don't think I'm tired of running this far ? Now you're gonna take me back to them." Ask Lilian.

The man looked at Lilian lazily and then he pointed at Lilian. "You."

Lilian rounded her eyes. "Just son, you brought me here, so you should too...." His speech stopped when the person interrupted again.

"Get you back to where you were?" Say that guy.

"E..e.engak k..kau ha..must take me home." Said Lilian.

"Why should I take you home?" Her speech.

Lilian breathed a sigh of resignation and spoke. "I don't know where to go home."

The man smiled cynically, "You even dare to walk alone without servants or bodyguards when you don't know the way home."

Lilian looked at the person with a sullen face, "I was looking for something in the market, so her focus was looking I didn't know if Rosa wasn't following me, when it dawned I had lost Rosa's existence until I decided to look for her but after a long search instead of finding her I walked out of the market until I decided to go home first and while on the road I was lost, I finally heard the sound of iron." Speak at length.

"And you followed the direction of his voice?" Say that guy.

Lilian nodded, "When I got there was only blood everywhere."

"And you just shut up and watch instead of running." Sneaky.

"I wasn't watching.I was shocked to see blood everywhere so shocked I couldn't even move my legs to run away." Lilian said annoyedly.

"I didn't even realize when I got this wound." Said Lilian again while looking at her arm that was now bleeding.

The man's eyes were perfectly rounded and pulling Lilian's body towards him, he tried to hold back his anger and stared intently at Lilian, "Are you so stupid that your hand just scratches you don't feel it?" He said with a high voice.

Lilian gulped her own saliva, afraid to look into the eyes of the person. When he answered suddenly someone came.

"Prince Sein are you okay?" Said Artem who had just arrived.

"I'm fine, did you bring the outer wound saleb?" Ask Seint.

"Yes I brought it, are you hurt?" Ask again with a worried face.

"Not me but him." Point Seint at Lilian.

Artem looked towards Seint's pointer and looked back at Seint while thrusting the saleb.

Seint took the saleb given by Artem and drew Lilian's hand. After sitting Lilian on a stone, Sein applied the saleb to Lilian's arm carefully. Sometimes Lilian grimaced as she felt the heat on her white skin.

Silence was created long enough to make the atmosphere feel awkward, Lilian who could not be in the atmosphere was trying to melt the atmosphere by giving some questions.

"Emmm... By the way, what did you guys do?" Lilian looked at Seint curiously.

"You've seen it." Replied Seint who was still busy smearing the saleb into Lilian's arm.

Lilian looked at Seint cynically, "I mean why are you guys fighting ? Are you guys fighting over something ? The people who were lying on the ground were they dead ? Or are they just unconscious ? Or....." Before he continued his words, Seint stared at him sharply.

"Cerewet," Seint stood up and looked at Lilian, "yes" he said.

Lilian looked at Seint confused "where.?"

Seint exhaled "home."

Lilian stood up and looked at Seint in annoyance, "You can't just say don't be short ? People who don't understand what you're saying are like fools."

Seint smiled sinisterly at Lilian, "You're a fool."

"YOU......." Before Lilian took her swearing, Artem interrupted.

"Miss we better go home" said Artem.

Lilian looked at Seint and Artem annoyed and walked stomping her legs leaving them, after a few steps of walking she fell silent and turned around.

"Where's it going?" Said Lilian with a haughty face made-up.

Artem could not help but smile at Lilian's strange behavior while Seint herself masterfully hid her smile with her distinctive flat face.

"Stupid." said Seint after walking past Lilian's body.

Lilian could only sigh quietly without wanting to chim in Seint's words, she walked after Seint with Artem walking behind her.
