Not the Novel World
21. Plan

This is where Lilian is, in a room that is quite large but gripping because of the aura released by her father. Lilian gulped repeatedly while sitting opposite her father.

"I feel like a criminal to be interrogated." Inner Lilian.

Duke Marven cleared his throat for a moment and then tapped his finger on the table. "This time what are you doing again?" Duke Marven said coldly.

"It's like I always make trouble." Inner Lilian.

"Lilly..." Call Duke Marven to begin to rise.

"Dad.I beg you." Call Zheyan with a sad look at his father.

Lilian would never be able to tell anything when she felt depressed, which is why Zheyan chose to come with her sister when a servant called her to her father's room.

Zheyan clasped his sister's hand and gave a "You'll be fine" look into her eyes.

Because of the support of his brother made Lilian a little relieved song he stared right in the eyes of the father. "I didn't do anything wrong today." Lilian.

Duke Marven stared at Lilian intensely. "Today I got a letter from the palace about you and Raina, before I had listened to Rosa and Raina's testimony, now explain to me what happened." Said firmly.

Lilian looked at her father seriously. "I told you before I didn't make a mistake, this morning me, Rosa and some of the guards went to the market to buy the materials we needed for the festival." Lilian.

"Then?" Duke Marven.

"Then when we wanted to buy the last ingredient in the fabric store there we met Miss Raina, at first he came and greeted the ordinary but the longer we chatted the more he insinuated me with his pretty words." Lilian.

"Then you got hooked?" Ask Duke Marven.

"Initially not, but because of the lack of attitude of his servant to me made me hooked." Lilian.

"What did he do." Ask Duke Marven.

"She interrupted my speech, raised her voice and said I was the shameless noble daughter right in front of me and everyone. Rosa who heard it did not accept and reminded her degree but instead of advising her servant Miss Raina instead wanted to slap Rosa, I reflexively caught her hand and threw her hand to make her pushed back, but I don't know what happened Raina accidentally dropped her body on the floor and cried." Obviously Lilian long.

Duke Marven hardened his jaw and clenched his hands firmly holding back the anger of hearing his daughter's explanation which was the same as Rosa's. Not much different from his father, Zheyan held back anger until his face turned red.

"Is there anything you can use as a witness to account for your words?" Duke Marven.

"There are residents, employees and shop owners, oh yes there is also Prince Seint and Young Master Artem." Lilian said remembering.

"You sure?" Duke Marven asked.

"Of course, Prince Seint himself brought me home." Lilian.

"The prince was here asking for Lilian's whereabouts, I didn't think the prince would even follow Lilian to the market." Inner Duke Marven.

"Zheyan go get your sister to rest, I'll go to the palace to settle this matter." Duke Marven.

"Good, Dad." Zheyan.

After his two children came out Duke Marven called a soldier to prepare his horse.

Arriving at Duke Marven's palace rushed towards the king's study, after being allowed to enter Duke Marven saw the king was sitting together with the queen beside him and then he lowered his head to pay respects to the king and Queen

"My honor, Your Majesty the King and Queen, may you always be blessed." Duke Marven.

"Sit down." King Reinal.

"Thank you, your majesty." Said Duke Marven and then walked to the seat in front of King Reinal and Queen Elena.

"Do you know why I called you here?" King Reinal asked with great authority.

"No need, I've got the most accurate and certainly reliable information." King Reinal.

Duke Marven looked fearfully at the king, fearing the king misunderstood and punished his daughter.

"You don't need to be so tense, my goal in calling you here to discuss some things to you one of which is to determine for yourself what punishment the Marquis's family must accept for the desolation of his daughter and his servant." King Reinal.

Duke Marven looked down at the King. "Even if the servant may ask, punish the servant with all his weight, and if I may ask again make the daughter of the Marquis get a punishment that will make him unable to disturb my daughter anymore." Duke Marven

King Reinal smiled at Duke Marven. "Alright, then I assume this business is done." Her speech.

Duke Marven looked at the King with a confused look, he did not expect that this quickly he solved Lilian's problem.

Seeing the puzzled look of Duke Marven made the king laugh. "There are far more important things that we need to discuss, the discussion was just the opening now we go into the core discussion." King Reinal.

"Have you heard rumors lately from the citizens?" King Reinal.

Duke Marven put on a serious face hearing the King's words. "No majesty, what are the rumors?" Ask Duke Marven.

"Rumors about your daughter and my son." King Reinal.

"Are they really dumb?" Duke Marven asked seriously.

"Haisss you're so insensitive as a parent, of course the closeness of the relationship between my son and your daughter." Queen Elena couldn't stand the Duke Marven's absence.

Duke Marven was silent for a long time hearing the words of the queen. "What's so close, your majesty?" Ask Duke Marven.

"You're very good at dealing with royal and political matters but you can't understand your daughter's romance." King Reinal said in annoyance.

"Rumors of closeness between your daughter and my son have spread throughout this kingdom, there are rumors that say that there are many people who see your daughter with my son always together, there are many people who see your daughter with my son always together, there's also a saying that during the plantation Lilian and Seint were always together." Elena said enthusiastically.

"Sorry, your majesty, you may misunderstand their closeness, but they look close because they have agreed to cooperate." Duke Marven.

"Aisss you don't understand, you know Prince Seint himself is a very cold child towards others, you know after a long trip yesterday? Seint did not go straight to the palace but he went to find Lilian and took her home on his horse, not a single person he allowed to ride his horse including his loyal bodyguard Artem." Elena Obviously.

"Do you know? Who is the person who gave the information about Lilian and Raina?" Ask King Reinal.

Duke Marven shook his head in ignorance, and the king smiled at Duke Marven. "With him, he came to me to deliver his return and report his cooperation with your daughter, before Seint left my study, he asked me to give the Marquis' daughter and her servant the rightful punishment." King Reinal.

"From the first prince Seint is very difficult to cooperate but with ease Lilian get a badge of cooperation from the prince Seint." Elena.

Duke Marven looked at King Reinal and Queen Elena in turn. "Rightly what his majesty said, is it true that they have a relationship? Means Lilian's feelings have been reciprocated all along" Inner Duke Marven.

"Aisss why are you daydreaming?" Ask King Reinal.

"Then what now?" Queen Elena asked.

"Duke Marven we've been best friends all along, don't you want to tighten our friendship by matching the two of them?" Ask King Reinal.

"Sorry your majesty I can't give you an answer yet, I don't know what my daughter wants and wants, let her make her own choice." Duke Marven.

"Of course your daughter wants to, hasn't your daughter liked and followed Seint anywhere. Seint had also never refused Lilian's presence by her side all this time." Elena.

"Let's just say, let them live their relationship now, if later they feel suitable for each other we just marry them, how?" King Reinal.

"That might be a good choice for now." Duke Marven.

"To now let the three of us know about this while monitoring the extent of the relationship, we must be able to keep it a secret first from the people so that there is no political struggle, he said, you have a high position in the kingdom so there will be many political rivals who are after your daughter if our plan is leaked." King Reinal.
