Not the Novel World
117. The Book of Lilian II

Lilian walked hurriedly towards the meeting room. Upon reaching the door, Lilian immediately opened it and stared puzzledly at everyone.

All the people Lilian thought were close to her were present in the room. Lilian even looked in wonder at King Reinal who was also present in the room.

"Lilian what a coincidence that you came ... I just wanted to call you here." Duke Marven said seriously.

"What's up? Why is everyone here? Is something going on?" Ask Lilian streak.

"Lilian sit down first ... We'll answer all the questions later." Said Duke Marven who drew Lilian's hand.

After making sure Lilian had sat in her chair comfortably. Seint finally opened the first voice.

"We found a book in your name." Say Seint flat.

Lilian frowned confusedly. "meaning? Can anyone else explain it to me? Seint is too talkative and I won't understand what he's saying."

Seint took a slow breath and then coded Artem to explain.

"Look at Your Majesty ... We brought some items and books that were believed to be clues or evidence. One of the books we brought from Mr. Martin's residence says your name is there but we can't read the contents." Artem.

"Why?" Tanya Lilian was serious.

Seint immediately handed over a book written on his behalf. Lilian looked confusedly at the book but she kept opening the contents of the book.

Lilian opened the first page like the last time Seint and the others did. Then Lilian went back to the other page but she only saw a blank sheet.

Lilian continued to open the other pages but only blank paper without a streak he saw.

"We're here to ask about the book. The book is kept with Mr. Martin's important documents. If the book was just a blank sheet then Mr. Martin wouldn't keep the book in secret." Obviously King Reinal.

Lilian just stared at the book and felt the surface of the paper.

"Did you remember or know about the book?" Ask Duke Marven.

Lilian shook her head slowly. "I don't know Dad." Lilian still did not let go of her gaze on the book.

The worried look on everyone's face heard Lilian's words. They thought Lilian would remember something about the book.

"But it seems like this book no one knows its contents yet." Said Lilian slowly.

"Of course ... The book is just an empty sheet. What can they get from blank sheets?" Ask Artem.

"This book looks empty, but the book actually hides the writing." Lilian was still staring at the book.

Everyone looked back at Lilian. "You mean?" Ask Seint.

"This book has not been read by Mr. Martin or anyone before. But to make sure this book has writing, I need a lot of daisy." Lilian.

Zheyan sighed softly. "Lilian can you not joke around for now? We're discussing something important and you're asking for a lot of daisies?" He asked while glancing at the forehead.

"I know you love the daisy garden in your house but can you be patient until we've finished discussing this?" Ask Asgar seriously.

"You'll get a lot of daisy after this. can you focus now?" Ask Duke Marven.

Lilian gave a rough sigh. "All of you why? I am being serious ... To see this writing then I need a lot of daisy flowers." Lilian said annoyedly.

"Does Your Majesty have to smell the scent of the flower in order to think a lot?" Ask Artem.

Lilian again let out a rough breath. "Take me a lot of daisy." Annoyed Lilian.

King Reinal then told the others to be quiet and ordered to give Lilian what she wanted. Before long Zheyan and Asgar brought a myriad of daisy flowers and placed them beside Lilian.

"You yourself said you had to bring a lot." Answer Zheyan.

"I don't want to know ... After this you'll have to replace all my plants." Annoyed Lilian.

"I'll give you as many substitutes as you want. Can you now focus on our discussion?" Seint asked as he stared at Lilian.

Lilian was annoyed at being stared at sharply by Seint. He even plucked the daisy roughly and rolled it with both hands.

All stared uncertainly at what Lilian was doing but no one dared to ask fearfully adding to Lilian's annoyance.

After feeling that the flower was smooth in his hand, Lilian finally rubbed the daisy that had been smooth on the surface of the book. Slowly but surely appeared on the blank sheet on the paper.

"The text appears." Artem suddenly said.

"How can you do that?" Ask Seint curiously.

Lilian just stared intently at Seint and threw her face away. Lilian did not want to answer Seint's question because she was upset.

"Lilian, can you tell me why it didn't appear?" Duke Marven asked gently afraid of upsetting Lilian and would no longer explain the book.

"Written in this book is written using white wine vinegar plus daisy flower juice. White wine has a distinctive aroma but it will not be able to bring up writing like apple cider vinegar that we can see his writing by looking at him using candles or other lighting." Lilian.

Everyone nodded in understanding hearing Lilian's explanation. "That's why the Crown Prince tried to use candles but we couldn't see the writing. So what makes the writing appear if white wine vinegar cannot be seen like apple cider vinegar?" Ask Zheyan.

Lilian was silent and did not want to answer Zheyan's question because she was still upset.

"Lilian can explain it to us?" Ask King Reinal slowly.

Lilian nodded slowly. "The "white wine used for this ink substitute is mixed with the daisy flower sari. So that the writing will appear if we smooth the daisy flower and apply on the surface of the sheet like this. Mr. Martin hasn't read the contents of the book because it's all empty." Clearly Lilian while reading the sentence written on the sheet.

"The text uses a foreign language." Artem.

"really?" Ask Duke Marven.

Lilian nodded slowly. "It seems to keep this book confidential. In addition to white wine. I wrote it in a foreign language so that no one else could read it except those who understood it." Reply Lilian.

"The book is yours ... As the owner of the book can you read the contents for us? We need a lot of information to catch traitors." Obviously King Reinal.

Lilian nodded slowly. "Allah ... I will read this book according to its content without adding or subtracting it, and do not interrupt it before I finish reading it" Lilian said.

Everyone nodded in agreement and looked forward to what Lilian had written on the book. Lilian took a slow breath and began reading the contents of the second page.

If anyone can see my writing. That means there are already people who can solve the problem about white wine vinegar and daisy flowers, which is great.

I wrote this book based on what I had been through before. In this book I write much about the betrayal of the people against the kingdom of Apollonia.

To keep the Apollonian kingdom and my loved ones safe, I decided to sacrifice myself to exchange my soul for the soul of another.

The sacrifice I made upon entering the forbidden area. People were doing spirit summoning rituals and I had to foil the plan by ruining the ritual. After I managed to ruin their plan it turned out that I had to accept a curse where my spirit would be lost and would be replaced with another spirit.

For this reason, I quickly went home with a bundle of cloth containing some evidence of their crimes and before my spirit completely disappeared, I wrote this book and hoped that good people would enter my body and find this book.

Lilian Daisyla Marven

Everyone who did not know about Lilian looked at her with shocked gazes after hearing the contents of the first page of the book.
