The Second Life Liliana
Chapters 108. No letter for me?
Liliana and duke Geraldine sat on the soft sofa that was in the room. In front of them serve two cups of warm tea and a small snack on a plate.
"Please enjoy. father," Liliana invited her father to drink tea or eat the food available on the table.
"Thank you, Your Highness, Crown Princess" Duke Geraldine said with a smile.
"Dad, don't talk to me formally if we're both. Just talk as usual" Liliana told her father not to talk formally to her.
Duke Geraldine changed the way he spoke. "Alright my daughter," said the middle-aged man as he picked up a cup of warm tea that Bianca had previously brewed.
He sipped the tea slowly. Liliana smiled looking at her father, she was glad Duke Geraldine came to see him after a long time they were busy with their respective affairs.
"Dad..Is there anything you did see me?" Ask Liliana politely.
"There are two reasons, first because I miss you and the second is because of your sister, Adara." Duke Geraldine told his daughter.
Hearing Adara's name being mentioned, the look on her face instantly turned cold. The pregnant woman in prison was the woman who had made herself die in the past. Makes her suffer as Adaire and live life with complete insecurity. In her heart, Liliana already holds no grudge against Adara because all of them are dead with Arsen who was hanged.
It's just that he doesn't hold any more fondness for his half-brother. "Why are you talking about Adara? I think he's fine in prison" Liliana said in a sarcastic voice.
Liliana seemed to still be angry at Adara, it was only natural. I too if he were angry he would hate him for life. However, Adara remains my flesh blood.
"I'm sorry Dad if I made you uncomfortable with discussing Adara. Yesterday I got word that Adara was being bullied by another prisoner in prison, Adara. I'm just asking you to move Adara to another prison, a prison that's just hers." Obviously Duke Geraldine pleaded with her eldest daughter.
"Dad, are you still defending him? Dad didn't defend me? To this day you still love him more than I do?" Liliana looked at her father in disappointment.
"Lily.Why are you talking like that? I love you and Adara!"
"Instantially, after what he did to me, my father still defended him. Indeed, from a long time ago, I always put Adara forward." Liliana looked at her father with teary eyes.
"Liliana, you misunderstood! Dad.."
"Okay Dad, I'll grant Dad's request. Adara will get good facilities in prison, according to what you want." Clearly Liliana was firm with a sick heart because she thought the father loved Adara more and even protected the woman from severe punishment.
Duke Geraldine was surprised to see Liliana's reaction to Adara, "Lily, this is not what I meant. I only care about your sister, because of the blood relation.."
"If you're told to choose between me and him. Looks like you'd prefer Adara, forever I'm just your stepdaughter!"
For the first time Liliana was angry and was firm in front of her father. He was tired of being sidelined by his father.
"Liliana!" Duke Geraldine.
Soon a knock on the door made their conversation cut off. Bianca walked into the room and said that the soldiers had already returned from the Northern region. Liliana and Duke Geraldine were shocked to hear that.
Is Max back?
The girl was happy because she thought Max had returned from the North. The king and Laura also came to the front of the palace to greet her son. But they were disappointed when only the soldiers came, no Max, Eugene and Kyle.
"I am facing His Majesty, my respect," Demian said as he sat on his knees before the King.
"Our respect, to the King's Majesty!" The other soldier said while kneeling before the King.
"Wake you! I have a lot of questions in my head right now. But I'll ask you one thing first, where is the crown prince?" King Alberto asked with a sharp look at Demian and the soldiers who had just returned.
Liliana, Laura and Duke Geraldine are behind the King. They were also confused as to why Max did not return with his troops.
"Your highness the crown princess.Are brother and siren Eugene okay? They're okay, right?" Laura asked who was panicking because she didn't see Eugene and her brother there.
Maxim, are you okay? Where're you?
Demian explained to the king what had happened in the village of the North. The king, Liliana, Laura and Duke Geraldine were shocked when they heard the unpleasant news. The demon lord that only existed in the myth turned out to actually exist and rose.
"Your Majesty the King, his highness the crown prince sent this letter to his highness!" Demian said as he thrust out the letter while sitting on his knees.
The king took the letter that had the royal red stamp on it.
Liliana and Laura are very worried about Eugene and Max. Then Demian also gave Liliana a letter and she mentioned it from Max.
Turns out you didn't write a letter to the King but to me.
Liliana opened her letter and she was shocked to see the writing and the contents of the letter. He was convinced that his writing was not Max's.
Dear princess Laura..
"Well!" Liliana shrugged and sighed with disappointment. It turned out that the letter was not for her and not from her husband, but a letter on behalf of her husband that was intended for the lover of hearts named Laura Evania De Istvan.
"Your highness the crown princess?" Laura was astonished to see Liliana's irritated face.
Liliana whispered to Laura. "This letter?" Laura was flabbergasted after Liliana whispered to him.
Liliana pointed towards Laura with a veiled face as the letter was not from Max. Liliana leaves Laura alone with her letter. Laura was so happy that Eugene sent her a letter.
While Liliana was upset because there was no letter for her from her husband. "Why did he write a letter to everyone but not send me a letter? It sucks! Just be careful if you come home later, I won't give you what you want that easily! You don't even understand me, do you miss me as much as I do? Why do I miss such a bad husband like you! His wife waited anxiously without any news for 4 days, but there was not a single word from him!"
The girl grumbled in annoyance, Max had nothing to send her a letter. "That's it, I don't care if he wants to send a letter or not! I don't give a shit!" Liliana ruffled her hair in annoyance.
Geck, tok, tok!
"Who?!" liliana asked a little.
"It's me, your majesty.."
"Come in sir Adrian" Liliana said as she straightened her hair and sat up straight.
Adrian opens the door to the room, he comes with Daisy and Bianca. Adrian gives a report about the mysterious loss of teenage children in the city center and unsettles the nobility and the lower class.
"You've found out who might be the culprit?" Liliana asked Adrian.
"We haven't found any leads other than that narrow alley. They always disappear around there."
"Hem.we can find the culprit if we find that place. Tomorrow, we have to go there again!" Liliana.
Adrian and one of the guards nodded their head obediently.
🍀At the palace of princess Laura🍀
While Laura was in her room, she read her letter by haru. Eugene's handwriting and the contents of the letter made him fall even more in love with the baby's father.
"Son, have you seen this letter? Your father told us to always be okay and to wait for him to come home. We'll wait for him to come home, right? We'll wait for him and tell him about your whereabouts. We will be a happy family together" Laura said with a happy smile.
He prayed that Eugene would return soon.
