Max did not answer Duke Geraldine's question, he only focused on Liliana who was in his arms unconscious and covered in blood.
"Your highness..."
She gave artificial breath to Liliana, giving her magic to the woman. Liliana did not move or respond at all. Even Max did not feel his heartbeat or the heartbeat of the baby in the womb.
Lily wasn't breathing, her heart wasn't beating. My baby is not felt either.
King Istvan was absorbed, "NO!! Lily, I beg you.I beg you to be sober!"
Duke Geraldine, Andreas and the other knights there were surprised to see Max panicking and shouting. Duke Geraldine pulled the unconscious Liliana into his arms. "Lily, my daughter? Lily!" The middle-aged man's lips trembled feeling his daughter's cold body, his face pale.
"Call Chris! HURRY UP!" Max yelled at the soldier there.
"Oh, your honor!"
Chris, the healer he had brought from the Istvan kingdom was immediately called to check on Liliana's condition. The woman was laid on a soft bed in one of the rooms in the two-story house.
There's only Max, Duke Geraldine and Chris in the room. Max and the Duke look anxious waiting for the results of Chris' examination. A physician whose money is beyond doubt, he is a physician licensed in medical science and magic healing.
Chris stared at Max and Duke Geraldine, his forehead wrinkled as if showing anxiety. His face was clearly not good. "Hows it? How's my daughter Chris' healer doing?" Duke Geraldine preceded King Istvan to ask about his daughter's circumstances.
"I'm sorry, my Highness, Miss Liliana and the baby in her womb can no longer be saved. They..nothing is." Chris said with a heavy heart and a bowed head.
Jedddeeerrr!!
Like being struck by lightning, in their hearts jarring, the hearts of the two men close to Liliana seemed to stop at that moment.
Max immediately pulled on Chris's shirt, until the middle-aged man lifted slightly upwards. He looked at Chris with a sharp look. "what doyou mean? Tell me the truth, what did you say? Lily and my son are gone?!"
"Your majesty." Chris stammered, he could not deny and the diagnosis was correct, that Liliana and the baby in the womb were gone.
Duke Geraldine approached Liliana lying lifeless on the bed. The Istvan royal sword master hugged his daughter's corpse tightly.
Tears poured down the legendary sword master, the man who was always covered in blood on the battlefield. Now wept roaring with the terrible facts that were before his eyes. Liliana aka Adaire, her beloved daughter has died along with the baby in her womb.
"LILY!! NAY! Please don't leave father son, I haven't seen you in a long time.Why did you leave father? Didn't you ever say that you would let me carry my granddaughter? Then why did you go with your son.hu..."
The Duke's cry rang out of the house, the knights so whispered there could be something bad that happened to Liliana until the Duke cried to roar. "What's going on in there, huh? I heard the former crown princess fell unconscious,"
"Could something bad happen to him, until his highness the Duke cries like that?" whispered a knight.
"Oh yeah, I saw there was black magic there. Who are the dark witches who are still alive and around us?"
"Whoever it is, she must have made the former crown princess's circumstances bad. It's really dangerous,"
"So your words! Miss Liliana must be fine!" Andreas said to the knights. He said his wife was in good condition.
Miss, you must be okay, right?
Repeatedly, rescue efforts were made by Chris and Max. But whatever the two of them do is FREE, Liliana and her son are gone.
What is dead will not come back to life? Except fate is decisive.
"Chris! You are the greatest healer in the entire continent, you can definitely use healing magic to bring him back to his senses. I'll give you whatever you want, titles, honor, money, wealth, as long as you help Liliana and my son. Please!"
The king of Istvan begged as he clenched his hands together, his tears slowly falling. Chris has never seen such a King, except when he lost the late Queen (his mother) and is currently due to Liliana.
The middle-aged man could not fight against God's fate, he was not a god who could take someone's life let alone bring it to life. Having magic does not mean that he can do everything, there are limitations in humans.
"Your majesty, your majesty knows that my magic can heal but it cannot bring to life the dead."
Max immediately glared at Chris with wrath . "Who are you saying there's no? WHO'S WHO? Lily and our son are fine! I'm here to pick her up and then we'll live happily together forever. Nothing is missing, nothing!"
The fact that Liliana and her child were missing seemed to be unacceptable to her and made her go crazy. To the extent that he strangled the physician's neck.
Kkkeuch...
Chris held his strangled neck, his neck seemed to break. "Yes.mu-liahh..."
Duke Geraldine quickly helps Chris, who nearly lost his life. Chris fell to the floor, trying to catch his breath. "Your majesty, what is it about venting your frustration, what can make my unborn children and grandchildren come to life? What you're doing is just FREE."
"Duke..."
"What does your majesty want from me? My daughter has already suffered during her life with her majesty, she gave her heart to her highness. But, your majesty hurt him.Even to the end of life, my daughter received misfortune due to the noble act!" Duke Geraldine is emotional, so she blames Max for the departure of Liliana and her baby.
Max feels guilty. The cause of all Liliana's suffering was her. If only he were not a King and was just an ordinary person, perhaps Liliana's life would not be so complicated with palace politics.
"Sorry Duke, I'm sorry I couldn't make-"
"Stop your noble apologies, a King doesn't deserve to apologize to a lowly person like me." The Duke was angry.
Already fallen on the stairs, maybe this proverb is suitable for what happens to Max today.
Sorry!
Saddened!
Feeling guilty!
Grief!
If he could replay time, he would give up everything for Liliana's life.
Duke Geraldine was holding her dead daughter. I don't know where he's taking Liliana. "Duke, where are you taking him?"
Duke Geraldine was indifferent, she did not care Max the king or not and dared to ignore him.
