The Second Life Liliana
Chapters 140. Visit of King Istvan

...🍁🍁🍁...

Max whispered something into Adrian's ear, not knowing what he whispered to the man. His eyes were pointed sharply at the person on the train, Julia.

"Your majesty, are you sure you're going to do this?" adrian asked flabbergasted at what Max whispered to him.

"True, I don't want this misunderstanding to continue. By ruining his reputation, then I will be detached from him." Max said it out loud, as if his decision and determination were already unanimous.

Lily, if you're here, I hope you don't see Miss Julia here. And if you see it, I hope you don't misunderstand me because I have a plan.

"Okay, my majesty, I will help you. Although this is an extreme way." said Adrian with a little smile.

"I trust you, Adrian!" Max pats Adrian on the shoulder.

No matter what Max does to Julia, Liliana is misunderstood. Max looked indecisive in his eyes.

Liliana went back to her house, and she saw Dorman at her door. He was carrying a large red box wrapped in ribbon. "Mr Dorman.."

"Miss Bella, have you come?" greet Dorman while smiling kindly at the woman.

"Is Mr Dorman waiting for me? What's up?" liliana asked the young man who always accompanied Aiden wherever he went.

"Yes miss. I came here to give you this." Dorman handed the red box to Liliana.

Liliana picked up the box, she saw an invitation on it. "Why didn't he deliver it to me himself?" liliana asked in surprise because the man had always come to her home by himself. This time he sent people.

Your majesty the king is busy welcoming miss, how could I say so. Inner Dorman.

"Your-one, I mean Mr. Aiden is busy in the palace."

His highness was indeed busy in the palace, but he still had time to pay attention to miss.

Liliana's lips were rounded, she felt the reason Aiden had not come was because the man was busy in the palace. Liliana only knew that Aiden was one of the nobles in the kingdom, but she did not know Aiden's true identity was that of a king.

"Truely, as a noble he must be busy.let alone he once told me, that he was close to the king."

"PFut..Why did Mr. Aiden say that?" Dorman held back a laugh.

"Right, she said so." Liliana said with her innocent eyes.

And Miss Bella just trust him. Behind her tough attitude, it turns out that the lady is an innocent woman. Perhaps it was this side that made his Majesty the King interested in him. Dorman just smiled looking at Liliana's innocence.

"I'll excuse you then, miss. There will be a train to pick up the lady from the palace" Dorman explained.

"Train? Ah, don't bother.I'll just go with Mr. Andreas." Liliana refused the carriage from the palace that would pick her up later.

Dorman looked at Liliana with great respect. "Sorry miss, but this is an order from Mr. Aiden."

"Hem...Well, just take the train, right?" Liliana accepts Aiden's good intentions.

Dorman leaves Liliana's house. The girl immediately entered while carrying the box that Dorman gave her earlier. Liliana opened the box, she noticed there was a dark blue colored dress that looked beautifully decorated with jewels. There is also a pair of shoes with short heels in the same color as the dress.

"The book is so beautiful and striking.Can I wear this?" ask Liliana confused. "The good of a friend should not be denied.he has helped me a lot" Liliana said.

As Liliana picked up the dress from the box, she noticed something had fallen onto the floor from her dress. "Eh, what is it?"

Liliana took the small box, she opened it. There is a blue jewel necklace and earrings that are the same color as the dress and shoes.

"Woah.that's beautiful." Liliana was the hottest when she saw the beauty of the jewelry. Behind the box was a small piece of paper folded there.

He opened the paper, then he read the writing on the paper.

...I don't want to know, you have to wear everything! You promised me. Oh yeah, there's gonna be a train coming to pick you up. One more thing, if you feel that the shoes are too high, you should not wear them....

"He prepared everything carefully, he knew I was pregnant and I shouldn't wear high shoes for fear of falling. Even the dress isn't too long either, she's a good friend." Liliana smiled, she thought Aiden was just her friend and nothing more.

*****

That afternoon, at Gallahan's royal palace on Jarvara Island. Max and his entourage were welcomed by the government. Aiden was at the very front of the line welcoming Max.

"Welcome to our kingdom, King Istvan." Aiden smiled amiably, a look of firmness within his face. He looked different when facing Max and Liliana in front. While with Liliana he was seen as a free and relaxed person, in front of Max he looked serious.

"Thank you King Gallahan for the invitation and the welcome" Max said with a faint smile.

The two men of high standing in the two kingdoms shook hands and stared at each other sharply.

King Gallahan looks very young. Amazingly, he is also handsome.certainly all women will be fascinated with his face. It would be nice if I were friends with him. Max praises Aiden in his heart and expects the same from Aiden.

"I hope that his Majesty King Istvan and all your followers will be comfortable during their stay in this palace" Aiden said politely.

"Yes, I'll be comfortable here." Max smiled thinly.

After greeting each other between members of the royal family. Max and his followers had lunch with the royal family.

They ate together at a table full of food. Max is very grateful to the King and the queen mother of Gallahan who prepared all this for him.

"Please forgive our shortcomings, just this much we can prepare for King Istvan and the others" the Queen Mother said with a friendly and polite smile.

"It's not what noble mother-of-law, it's more than I expected. This preparation is very fancy." Max answered the Queen mother politely.

Max sees a mother's affection for her child in front of her eyes. She is rather envious because Aiden has a very good mother to her and Aiden who can still feel her mother's affection in adulthood.

*****

That afternoon, when everyone was resting. Duke Geraldine met Andreas secretly near the royal palace of Gallahan.

"Andreas? Is that you?" duke Geraldine asked the man in the black hood.

"Yes, it's my noble Duke." replied Andreas as he lowered his hood. He saluted Duke Geraldine politely.

"Have not seen each other for a long time, how are you? How's my daughter doing?" duke Geraldine asked Andreas anxiously. It had been two months since he had met his daughter.

"Miss asked me to pick up master Duke," replied Andreas.

"Alright, let's go now-" Duke Geraldine rushed to meet Liliana.

"Your Highness Duke, where are you going?" adrian asked who came out of nowhere. He approached Duke Geraldine and Andreas.

"Sir Adrian!" Duke Geraldine looks surprised when he sees Adrian. He thinks that Adrian was asked by the King to keep an eye on him.

He must have been ordered by the king's majesty to watch over me. If this is the way, I can't meet Liliana.

Adrian stared intently at Andreas. "And..who are you?" adrian asked Andreas who covered his face with a hood.

"I'm just the one who asks for the way, sir." replied Andreas while looking down.

Andreas pretends to be the one asking the way.

"I'm sorry, I'm not from this kingdom.so I don't know about the streets here. Forgive me for not being able to answer your question sir." Duke Geraldine pretends not to know Andreas in front of Adrian.

Looks like I can't meet Lili right now. If I leave now, sir Adrian will definitely follow me.

"It's okay sir, then excuse me. Sorry to bother you, sir!" Andreas bowed his head then he left from there.

Adrian still looked at them suspiciously. But Duke Geraldine immediately brought Adrian back to the palace and asked him to speak. Duke Geraldine secretly slipped a piece of paper in Andreas's hand without Adrian's knowledge.

After a half-hour drive, Andreas arrived at Liliana's house. The girl was with Doris in the kitchen, she had just finished cooking the desert.

"Mr Andreas, are you back? Where's dad?" Liliana only saw Andreas alone there without her father.

"I'm sorry miss, your Highness the Duke didn't come." Andreas lamented.

"My father didn't come? But why?" ask Liliana sadly. Though he had made his father's favorite desert, but his father did not come there.

Andreas enters the house and explains the situation near Gallahan's palace. Liliana understood why her father couldn't come. That's because someone's still looking for him.

"Oh yes lady, your Highness the Duke entrusted this to me." Andreas reached into the pocket of his robe, he gave Liliana a piece of paper.

Liliana immediately opened and read something written on the paper.

...Lily, I'm sorry I couldn't see you. I thought you should meet him. Please find time to meet with the King's Majesty. Finish your business, so that the King's Majesty doesn't bother you anymore. There's something you still can't finish. Then finish! Don't hide, also tell her that there's a baby in your womb. He's his father and he deserves to know about his son. Lily, I was hoping you could meet her......

"Ohhhh..." Liliana took a deep breath as she read a letter from her father asking her to meet and talk to Max.

Do I have to meet you? Am I selfishly hiding this child from you? If I told you I was pregnant with your child, then what was after?

"Miss, what's wrong?"

"Andreas, get ready to go to the party tonight."
