The Second Life Liliana
Chapters 10. Stunned

...🍀🍀🍀...

"I beg you for help Miss Adara," Liliana smiled humbly, the help she meant here was help to prepare for the party.

"Of course I have to help you, you don't have any experience with a high-class debut party because you're not a noble" Adara smiled demeaningly at Liliana.

"True, I am indeed from the lower classes," Liliana instead smiled cheerfully, she did not feel ridiculed at all by Adara.

"Curtain!" Adara turned her face away from Liliana arrogantly. "So, come to my room now!" Adara said to his loyal servant.

"Well miss," Anya replied obediently.

Adara and her loyal servant went to another room, they talked about the party preparations for Liliana.

Meanwhile, Liliana was lacking clothes to wear and the Duke would soon introduce his adopted daughter to everyone. Liliana along with Adaire's loyal servant and a bodyguard, intend to go to the city market to buy clothes and jewelry. Duke gave Liliana some money to shop.

"Where are you going without my permission? And why are you bringing in bodyguards too?" ask Adara cynically.

"I'm going to go buy clothes and jewelry" Liliana replied briefly.

"I asked why you brought the bodyguard too? Do you really think you're a real noble?" adara asked again, mocking the girl. Adara forbade Liliana to go carry Kstaria because Liliana was not a noble but a commoner..

As if he had gone to bring a bodyguard, did he think he was a noble? If it wasn't for my father, he would never have risen in status.

"Well if I can't bring a bodyguard, it's okay. I can go by myself" Liliana said as she glanced at Arsen standing behind Adara.

"You can't use a car either!" Adara cried firmly.

"Miss Liliana happens to be going to work, you can come with me and I'll take you" Arsen said with a friendly smile.

"My husband!" Adara was shocked by her husband's words.

"The city center will be in the direction of the palace, so I can all take Miss Liliana."

"Darling!"

"You don't want me to drive her, but you also forbid her to take the train and bring bodyguards. Adara like her you forget that Miss Liliana is already your sister, she is the foster child of the father and that means Miss Liliana is a noble, your sister," explained Arsen, the man said that Liliana was the adopted daughter of his father-in-law and was already a noble.

Adara, who was blinded by jealousy, finally allowed Liliana to bring along servants and bodyguards, also went to drive a carriage. After going through some debate Liliana goes to the town market with Daisy and Nicholas, Adara's bodyguard who is assigned to escort Liliana or maybe watch her.

"Miss,"

"What's wrong Daisy?" liliana asked as she looked at the waiter kindly.

"Can I say something to you?" ask Daisy carefully.

"Of course Daisy," replied Liliana kindly.

"Miss, miss is very nice. Somehow I feel I have known the lady for a long time, forgive me for daring to talk presumptuously. I feel like you have a slight resemblance to the late Miss Adaire," Daisy lowered her head, the maid looked sad when discussing about Adaire.

"really? I'm glad to hear that Daisy, because you seem to love Miss Adaire" Liliana teary-eyed, she smiled at the waiter.

Daisy, you're the only one left in my life. You were the only person who loved me during my time as Adaire. When everyone betrays me, only you are loyal.

"If only I had gone with Miss Adaire, it was possible that Miss Adaire would not have fallen into the sea and disappeared, I..why would a good person like Miss Adaire have to suffer such a fate?" Daisy wept, spilling all her sadness and longing on the figure of Adaire.

Please Daisy, don't cry.

Adaire who always smiled cheerfully, although in ridicule people he remained cheerful and steadfast. Daisy loved Adaire very much, since Adaire's mother died only Daisy was the one who comforted her. There is a memory of Adaire to Daisy, her heart ache because she lost the lady she loved so much. Even the body has not been found.

Liliana hugs Daisy who is already like her own parents, she comforts Daisy. "It's not Daisy's fault, it's God's destiny. If Adaire sees Daisy crying like this she will be very sad, so don't cry Daisy. Adaire will always be with Daisy,"

Daisy was flabbergasted at Liliana's words, she felt familiar with the remark.

#Flashback

Little Adaire is having smallpox and Daisy is taking care of it. Adaire lay weakly on the bed with a pale face. When all the servants of the mansion were unwilling to take care of her for fear of contracting it, only Daisy was loyal to Adaire.

"Daisy don't cry ya," little Adaire tried to comfort the crying Daisy.

"Miss, you must be well soon miss.hiks," Daisy sat in the chair near the corner of the bed. He was crying, unable to see Adaire.

"Adaire will heal soon, don't cry Daisy. Adaire will always be with Daisy" Adaire said, wiping Daisy's tears, smiling.

Daisy hugged her little lady affectionately. He's not afraid of getting infected at all.

#End flashback

Daisy stopped crying, she held Liliana's hand. "There may be a reason why God sent Miss Liliana into our lives, to bring the Geraldine mansion back to life. And so that I am not too sad, miss forgive me for the lack of my teaching!"

"It's okay Daisy, I understand," Liliana wiped Daisy's tears with a gentle look. "Daisy don't be sad, yeah,"

"Yes, I will serve you well!" Daisy cried with all her heart.

After arriving at the downtown market, Daisy and Liliana get off the train aided by Nicholas. Adara's bodyguard kept staring intently at Liliana and noticed her. Liliana is deliberately friendly to Nicholas even though the man looks disrespectful.

As Liliana got off the carriage, everyone stared dumbstruckly. Fascinated by her beauty, let alone her rare and striking red hair made her the center of everyone's attention. Whereas back when she became Adaire, no one glanced at her like that, just a murderous, sharp, disgusted look. Now they were looking at Liliana with enchanted gazes.

"It's so pretty, lady, yes" said a stunned man.

"It's really pretty!"

"Is she a fairy?"

Some people there talk about her beauty. Liliana became more and more confident in her new body.

Yes, I am beautiful now. Your eyes on me were not like this, you used to look at me with disdain as if I was a creepy monster. Now that you're fascinated with me, yes you're humans who see people from the outside, Adaire you're very poor. Liliana lamented her fate first.

"Where are we going first?" ask Nicholas.

"Why did you ask? I'm gonna go with Daisy,"

"I'm sorry miss, but I was assigned by the Duke to-"

Liliana slashed Nicholas' words quickly, "Excuse me, Mr. Nicholas, I'm doing your thing! It wasn't the Duke who ordered you to escort me, but Miss Adara!"

Nicholas fell silent, he was at a loss for words. "That's right, miss,"

"You just wait on the train, 'cause I'm gonna go with Daisy!" Liliana's word to the burly kstaria.

"Miss wherever you go, I must-"

"I'm going to d*l*m's clothes, do you want to come inside?" Liliana turned her head towards Nicholas sharply, the second time she cut off Nicholas' speech.

The man was flabbergasted and embarrassed to hear Liliana's explanation. Daisy held back laughter seeing Nicholas' serious face turn red. Never before had Daisy and Liliana seen Nicholas's face like that, because usually he was always serious.

"ah! I-I'm sorry, lady, I'll wait here!" Excited Nicholas obediently and stood firm.

"Good, wait here because I'll be fine. Don't forget, I'm used to living with ordinary people" Liliana said, smiling at Nicholas.

Without her noticing Max and Eugene watching her from afar, "How could she carelessly smile at another man like that and just cut me off?" max's grumble doesn't take it because Liliana cues at him but smiles at another man.

"Your highness, your work is already piled up in the palace! Are you just gonna be here to watch her?" Eugene protests as Max continues to play around outside after completing his mission.

Max was indifferent and did not care about his kstaria's remarks. Eugene just shook his head.
