54. Don't cry

Lilian walked in Seint's footsteps, She was so curious that Seint would take her away, but her annoyance at the man made her lazy to ask.

They continued to walk through the hallways that seemed quiet there were only a few soldiers who were on guard or occasionally they passed by the servants who accidentally passed by.

The longer Lilian was more curious where they were going, the article had been since they had walked following the Aisles but they did not reach their destination.

Lilian let out a slow breath. "Is the place still far away?" Lilian finally said.

"Far or near it depends on you." Seint.

Lilian stopped walking and looked resentfully at Seint. "What do you mean?" Keto.

"From now on you just stay quiet and don't ask.so I thought you'd like to take a walk before we get to our destination." Say Seint casually.

Lilian rounded her eyes perfectly. "So you didn't take me to our destination?" Lilian asked who was starting to rise.

"Today it seems like your mood is not okay.From yesterday you look upset." Say Seint casually.

"What makes my heart not okay is you.I wasted so much energy being so upset with you and now you're making me even more upset." Lilian said furiously.

"What have I done?" Ask Seint casually.

"YOU..." Lilian said. "We're going there now OR I'M GOING HOME NOW?" Lilian said furiously.

Seint exhaled softly at Lilian's angry look. "All right." Pause.

Seint and Lilian then walked to their true destination. The place they were heading to was located in the main courtyard of the palace of Appollonia, where it was an open place with a very beautiful view. There were already a lot of people waiting for the arrival of the two there.

When setting foot for the first time there Lilian felt a little awkward because the people who were there looked at her with a judging look.

"Don't look at him like that or your eyes that I'm gonna take out of his place." Said Seint coldly.

Although Seint's words frightened her a little, Lilian was grateful that no one else dared to look at her blatantly.

"Sit down." Said Seint while pointing at a chair with a very beautiful carving to Lilian.

Lilian followed Seint's direction and sat down at the spot previously designated by Seint.

"What are we gonna do here." Lilian asked confusedly.

Seint looked towards a person who was standing not far away from them then nodded slowly at that person.

Artem walked over to where Seint and Lilian were then smiling towards Lilian. "Today you and Your Majesty will be painted.We only need one painting after it will be done by another painter." Artem.

"Why should we be painted?" Lilian asked confusedly.

Artem stared at Seint for a while then looked back at Lilian. "Lilian.you're going to do the inauguration of the relationship with the Crown Prince.For that you need to be painted, you're still a dozen years old so you can't hold the event for now." Artem.

"Why?" Lilian asked curiously.

"According to the rule of the Apollonian kingdom...a noble Princess who has a relationship with the Crown Prince before she reaches twenty years old cannot hold the inauguration ceremony directly but to replace her you must be painted with the Crown Prince and your paintings it will be spread both within the kingdom and outside the kingdom." Artem.

Lilian nodded for a while then looked towards Seint. "All right." Her speech.

After Lilian understood the explanation from Artem, Seint then took a seat beside Lilian.

Lilian frowned confusedly looking at Seint who was also sitting on the same chair as her. "Why are you sitting in the same chair as me?" Ask Lilian.

"This is my seat.The Crown Prince's seat of glory." Seint.

"Why did you tell me to sit in this chair?" Lilian asked annoyed.

"Because you are my partner, there is no way that I will be painted on my own chair..if I am painted by myself why should I bother to pick you up here?" Seint was getting upset.

"So that's it." Said Seint while nodding briefly. "Then it's better now you just go home." Jerky Seint.

"You're kicking me out?" Ask Lilian emotion.

"Yes.I kicked you out!" Seint said furiously.

Lilian was silent no longer answering Seint's words, her heart so sore when she heard Seint's words. As tight as Lilian felt now, her heart was like it had been pierced by a very sharp knife. His eyes could no longer contain the clear liquid that was ready to escape and descend to his cheeks.

The clear liquid test finally fell over Lilian's cheeks. With a trembling body Lilian woke up from her seat and intended to walk away from everyone but when Lilian wanted to take her first step Seint pulled her hand and hugged her very tightly.

Artem ordered everyone in the place to turn around and not look at Seint and Lilian.

"Sorry." The whisper of Seint in Lilian's ear.

Lilian increasingly felt a tightness in her heart, she even struggled just to breathe and her sobs were even heard clearly by Seint.

"I'm sorry.I'm guilty." Seint felt guilty.

Lilian's sobs were heard, she even hit Seint's back with all the energy she had. "You are evil, you will drive me out in front of many people." Lilian's words interrupted her sobs.

Seint tightened his embrace on Lilian's body, next to her hand she used to gently rub her head. "Hit me as hard as I can. I'm guilty of you." Seint.

Lilian was silent and unwilling to respond to the words of Seint, she continued to beat him until Lilian was tired all by herself. The sobs were now replaced with as much as Lilian.

Seint took off his embrace and looked towards Lilian's eyes that were reddened from crying. "I'm sorry." Soft Seint vibe.

Lilian returned to shed her tears. "You threw me out." Said raspy.

"I'm sorry.I shouldn't have done that." Said Seint guiltily while wiping away Lilian's tears that kept wetting her cheeks.

"Am I troubling you?" Ask Lilian while taking a breath.

"No. You never troubled me. I would even be very happy if you trouble me. I beg Lilian to stop crying." Seint is guilty.

"Then?" Ask Lilian.

"So forgive me. I have absolutely no intention of hurting you." Said Seint while kissing Lilian's old forehead. "Do you want to forgive me?" Ask Seint gently.

Lilian nodded briefly. "Yes." Yeah." Lilian

"Do you want to rest now?" Ask Seint.

"Then how's the painting." Ask Lilian.

"We'll do it later after you feel better." Soft Seint vibe.

"Does my face look ugly now?" Ask Lilian.

Seint smiled gently. "No. You always look beautiful in my eyes." Seint.

"You're lying. My face now must be ugly and swollen." Said Lilian while hiding her face on Seint's chest.

"Then it's better now you rest first.after you feel better we will continue the painting." Seint.

"I just want to wash my face and rest for a while." Lilian.

"Alright.as the Princess wishes." Said Seint smiling gently towards Lilian.

Seint then led Lilian to her room to rest for a while before continuing their activity plans.
