The Second Life Liliana
Chapters 113. Lost, happy?

...🍂🍂🍂...

Maxim ran up to his wife, she hugged the girl gently with longing and affection. "Thank God you're sober, thank goodness my wife.."

"Maxim, why are you here?" Liliana was confused by seeing her husband there and hugging him.

Why does her hug feel so real? Am I not in the afterlife? Why is Max here?

"Why is your question so strange? Of course I'm here!" Max let go of his wife's embrace, he kissed Liliana's forehead gently. "Honey, where's the pain? Are you not feeling well? Where's the one that got hurt, huh?"

Liliana still looked at her husband with a frown. He still thinks he is in another world. Liliana held her neck that had not long been choked by the demon lord. "Why doesn't it hurt anymore?" The girl muttered in a soft voice.

"Lilly? You why? Don't tell me you got bumped and lost your memory?" Max began to panic at seeing his wife's strange gurgle as soon as he woke up.

"You're watching too much drama opera!" Liliana exclaimed as she looked at her husband.

It is too real to be called a dream or afterlife. This place might not even be heaven. Then why am I here? Why is Maxim here too? Shouldn't he still be in the North and I'm already dead by that demon?

"So you remember me, right? Lily, I'm your husband, baby.." Max said, holding his wife's hands.

"Maxim, are you alive or are you dead?" Liliana asked still in the same confusion.

"Huh? What's?" Max was caught hearing Liliana's question.

Plakkkk

Suddenly Liliana slapped her husband hard. "Let's!" Max grumbled as he held his cheek.

"I can touch you.I feel hard, my hands hurt too." The girl muttered while looking at her right hand that had not long slapped Max. The hand looks red and feels painful.

"What is this about you?" Max looked at his wife with a frown in astonishment.

"Maxim! Is this really you? You're going to die with me?!" Liliana pulled on her husband's shirt, until their two faces were close together. Their eyes met and stared at each other.

"W-what do you mean? Looks like your head really hit huh?" Max is further confused by Liliana's words to him.

Liliana looked at her husband with both innocent eyes and a frown, "Mom-didn't I already die by that damn demon? W-why are you coming with me here too? Are you dead too?"

Max held back a laugh upon hearing Liliana's question. He felt his wife was very cute and innocent. "Then if I die, where do you think this is?" Max's hand caressed Liliana's cheek.

"Are we not in heaven?" Ask the girl hesitating.

"PFut. hahaha that's right." Max shifted his hair back, he chuckled.

"Why are you laughing?" Ask Liliana astonished.

Suddenly Max looked at the girl sharply and a grin was seen in her lips. "If you still think this is a dream, then..."

Max leaned his head, kissing his long-time wife. He buried his lips on Liliana's red chewy thing. That warmth met in deep longing.

Liliana returned her husband's kiss, it's been a long time since she felt it. He missed Max, ever since he went North even every time.

The lips that meet feel warm and deeper as their two tongues are putty to each other. Combined into one. Sighs and whispers were heard as they were busy playing their tongues.

Their two hands hugged each other gently and tightly. As if not letting go of each other.

This is not a dream, this is reality and this is not in the afterlife. I'm still alive.

Liliana's hands caressed her husband's neck, her pretty fingers squeezed the neck in anxiety. Somehow the story, Liliana is already under the body of her husband's burly. Liliana's body lay on that hard bed. "Hahhhhh, enough, I can't breathe anymore Maxim." Liliana sighed, after she removed her lips from her husband.

"Do you still think this is a dream?" Max smiled at his wife.

"No, it's real. Not dreams.." Said Liliana while looking at her husband full of longing.

"Good, you're finally conscious. You idiot!"

"You are stupid! Good thing you're not late!" Liliana smacked her husband's chest. Slowly tears fell down her cheeks.

Max could not bear to see the tears of his wife, he gently rubbed Liliana's tears with his big palms. "I'm sorry I was late, though,"

"I'll forgive you if you hold me! You idiot!" Liliana complained to her husband, asking to be hugged.

Both of them sat on the bed, and Max hugged Liliana. "I miss you my wife, I miss you so much. And I'm sorry..."

"I miss you too." Liliana hugged her husband in love.

After letting go of their misses with hugs and kisses, while staring at each other's faces. Max provided drinking water and food for his wife. "Drink first, you must be thirsty."

"Hem, indeed." Liliana drank the water on the leaves because there was no glass there. "Haahh, thank goodness I can still feel thirst and feel the freshness of this drinking water. It means I'm alive." Liliana was relieved.

"Lily.. What exactly happened? How could you have been kidnapped by her?"

"Maxim, he's the demon king Lucifer." Liliana replied while looking intently at her husband.

Max was dumbfounded, "What? So that's true? He really is the demon king?"

Max only suspects that Lucifer is the demon king, after hearing Liliana's words. It was indeed true, that the man was indeed the Demon King he was looking for.

Liliana nodded, "He caught the children and women, he ate the meat and sucked their blood and when he ate it. He will return young, also gain strength. I've seen it myself. What happens when the human being bitten by it, will become like him or end up with death. And Maxim.he knows you,"

The husband and wife talk was about the devil, becoming more serious. Lucifer knew Maximilian. Max does not know himself. However, Liliana is convinced that there is a part of her husband that is similar to Lucifer.

"You think he looks like me? Lily, don't joke!" Max nodded in disbelief.

"i'm serious. Especially the eyes, both of your eyes have the same color and when angry the red eyes light up. Just like your eyes, not to mention your faces." explains Liliana sure.

"I also felt something familiar when I was near him. It's like he and I are connected. But that's impossible, it's just my assumptions." Max was confused by his own speculation.

"Yes, let's skip the conversation about this. We'll talk about us, where we are and we'll have to get back."

"Lily, I'm sorry. Looks like we can't go back yet, we're lost." Max.

"Whatchu mean? Why can't we go back?"

"My man was drained when he saved you, to break through Lucifer's wall and use my teleportation power repeatedly. I can't use it for now and have to collect my mana first."

"So?"

"For a while we'll stay here, or find a way out of this place. But it looks like I chose the first option, because your body is still recovering." Obviously Max while looking towards his wife.

I can't just go back without magic.

The girl agreed with her husband's choice. Because the state of his body has not really recovered. But in order for them to live there, Max cleaned up the old, dusty place. He who never did the cleaning himself, now had to do it with his own two hands, because his wife was still sick.

"You look like a housewife" Liliana said, looking at her husband, who was sweeping the floor in front of the room.

"Hey! Are you mocking me?" Max's lyrics to his wife were upset.

"Obviously you're mocking me! Just be careful if we're on the same bed later!" Threaten Max to his wife.

"Huh! What would you do if we were in the same bed?" The girl crossed her hands on her chest.

"I'll pounce on you until it's over" Max blinked one eye at Liliana, hinting at something.

So he wants to ask for that?

"Huh! Don't think you can get it so easily. I still blame the letter,"

"Letter?" Max glanced upwards, with his confused face.

"Yes.you sent everyone a letter but didn't send me a letter. I was still very upset," Liliana looked at her husband sharply.

"Oh that's because I want to.."

"Stop that my husband! I won't give you your rights so easily! Please clean yourself, I'll sleep." Liliana lay down from her seat, she pulled the blanket and covered her body.

Max was stunned to hear Liliana's words. "No! The scenario is not like this!" Max sees Liliana asleep.

Moments later, Max finished cleaning the house. He approached his wife and slept next to her. He saw Liliana fall asleep.

His hand stroked the crown princess's long hair, his beloved wife. "It looks like it would be nice if we stayed together like this. In a quiet place without thinking about the duties of the country, without bodyguards and servants around us. We could go for a walk, spend some time alone. It's gonna feel really good, 'cause it's my dream to be with you Lily." Max hugged his wife lovingly.

Not long ago Max closed his eyes, he felt Liliana's body tremble in his arms. Max wakes up and sees his wife.

"Darling?"

"No! Don't eat me, don't! Blood.that's.don't eat me, I still want to live. Don't kill me..." Liliana spoke in her sleep. With his head shaking, his face looked panicked. Sweat sweat soaked her beautiful face.

Lily's delirious.

"Darling, calm down.You're fine. I'm right here." Max held both of his wife's hands, so that she would calm down and not move much.

"Don't..pain..go y'all..go..hiks.." Liliana was crying, she was still in her nightmare.

"Hey.my dear, I'm here. You're fine" Max whispered to Liliana while looking at her anxiously.

His hand held onto Liliana's cheek and tried to wake her up. Shortly after, Liliana's eyes opened wide. The girl was panting like she was chasing something. "I'm here, you're okay."

Liliana hugged her husband while crying. "I'm so scared, those creatures they want to kill me. I'm so scared of Maxim!" Scream the woman scared.

"Don't worry, I'm already here. You'll be fine" said Maxim, hugging Liliana while calming her down.

Lucifer will certainly disturb and harm people. I must recover my strength immediately and return to the palace immediately. I have to destroy it.

...*****...

When the husband and wife were lost and out of nowhere. Two days later, the palace people were still in an uproar with the disappearance of Max and Liliana. Not to mention the many reports of women and children disappearing downtown.

The king himself led the search for the crown princess and the crown prince. But there is no bright spot where the existence of the child and his daughter-in-law. Finally he called Brietta to find out their whereabouts through the fortune teller.

"Greet me to the imperial sun of Istvan." Brietta lowered her body politely in front of the King.

"Stand up, o fortune-teller!" the king told him.

Brietta raised her head and slightly glanced at the King. "Yes your honor,"

"Do you know why I called you here?" The King asked Brietta with a sharp look in his eyes.

"I would be considered a lie if I didn't know why His Majesty called me." As an astrologer, of course Brietta knows many things. What will happen in the future, including why the king is calling him this time.

"Then tell me what was my purpose in calling you here?" The King asked while looking intently at the old woman.

I better test him first, is he really a fortune teller or just a con man.

"Baginda wanted to ask me, about the whereabouts of his noble crown prince and also his noble crown princess. Am I right?"Brietta flashed a smile on her wrinkled face.

The king smiled at Brietta's words and his rightful guess, "What kind of room Sir Eugene said, you're not a fraud."

"I know you'll say that, Sire."

"We've got the bases. Tell me, do you know where my daughter and daughter-in-law are?" Ask the King directly at the point.

"I don't know your majesty,"

The king was stunned to hear Brietta's words. "Are you not a fortune teller? Why don't you know where they are?" The King's voice began to rise.

"Unfortunately the power of my divination does not work on the crown prince's majesty."

"Why?"

"Baginda, I don't know why. But I can feel that his highness the crown prince and the crown princess are doing fine." Brietta said sure.

"Are they really okay? Were they not captured by the demon?" Ask the King to worry.

"Right, my majesty, I can feel it. And I saw a little in my vision of the crown princess, that she was in a meadow far from here. The place is secluded." The old woman told the king. "They were in an old house" he added.

Brietta closed her eyes, she couldn't see Max but she could see and feel a little bit about Liliana. He believes that Liliana and Max are there, but he doesn't know the name of the place.

"Old house? Grasslands and remote places?" The king murmured thinking about what place Brietta described.

The king directly asked the nobles of the region to gather right then and there. He would inquire about the territory Brietta mentioned to each of their respective dominions.

...****...

In that remote place, Liliana's state had already begun to recover. He was sunbathing near the meadow. He loved the atmosphere in that place.

"When Max and I are lost, why am I happy? The air here is so different from the palace" Liliana said as she spread her hands while breathing fresh air.

"Yes, I'm glad we got lost here, too. Because I can be alone with you" said Max while hugging his wife with a friendly.

"Maxim," Liliana looked at her husband.

"Lily, shall we do it? The atmosphere is..." Max did not continue his words, he instead kissed the back of Liliana's hand gently.

"Do what?" Liliana avoided hiding her red face.

"Darling..." Max held the wife's face and looked at her with a pus.

Yes, this is a good opportunity for both of them. When in the palace they have been preoccupied by the task of the state, so they have not had time to carry out the procession of unification of the body. But, does it have to be in a place like this?
