Someone walking towards him, he was Eugene who was currently still a protective knight as well as his best friend.
The man who always accompanied him in joy and sorrow, a friend who fought with him in battle. His father the King and Queen of Freya are also still alive, King Alberto still reigns over the kingdom of Istvan.
Nothing has changed about that, so Max thinks that there is no problem with Liliana's life. He thought the girl was now living happily, but he would make sure of it first.
If she had not guessed wrong, maybe now Liliana was still alive as Adaire and she was already married to Arsen.
"Your highness, are we going to stop first at Gardian Island?" Eugene asked while looking at the island in the middle of the sea. That is the island where Liliana is.
"No, we'll just go to downtown Istvan. When you get there, you'll have to check on the Geraldine family members."
I won't meet him on this island anyway. She must still be Adaire Charise Geraldine.
"Okay, your honor." Eugene replied obediently as usual. "But my highness pardon, about the suppression of the largest brothel on the island how?"
"Send one of our troops there. Let them take care of it. It's just a small matter anyway." Max said with his flat face.
In the past, I first met Lily there. But back then she was Adaire not Liliana, so whatever happened to the real Liliana was none of my business. All I have to care about is Adaire, I deliberately came back two days early because I was going to prevent her death.
The ship carrying Max passed through Gardian island and went to the Istvan kingdom which was located quite far from there.
Liliana was resting looking at the large ship passing by. The beach breeze blew towards her making her red hair flutter, waving occasionally covering her pretty face. Suddenly he held his chest, as soon as he saw from a distance a man with black hair standing behind him on the ship, why there was a tightness in his chest. "Oh my god, what am I? Why am I like this when I see him? I didn't know him and I didn't see his face, but..Why does it feel weird?"
As the ship got further and further out, Liliana's heart suddenly became sad. Even unconsciously her tears were dripping, like something was missing on her.
"Lily, why are you here? Boss is looking for us! Do you know the distance from here to the restaurant is far enough? Come on, we gotta hurry." Nancy tried to get her friend out of there. "Lily, are you crying? Why?" Nancy saw the look on Liliana's face that was not good and tears fell down her best friend's cheeks.
"A-I don't know, it's tight in here and I'm like I'm missing something inside of me.hiks..."
"What do you mean? What's missing?" Nancy asked with a caring look on Liliana. He was sincere when asking about his circumstances.
Instead of talking, Liliana chose to wipe her tears and she walked away from the lake. Nancy also followed him from behind and they went to work as usual.
During work Liliana was always bullied by customers who were dominated by men there. Clearly, it was because they were interested in Liliana's beauty. But with the presence of Liliana, the restaurant is always crowded with visitors.
Finally the day passed, when Liliana and Nancy returned home.
"Liliana, did your head hit something?"
"What does Mr Carl mean?" Liliana asked back because she didn't understand what Carl was asking
"Usually you will be silent if disturbed by them, but today you are against them even a little. What's wrong with you? You look different." Carl felt something was different from Liliana that day, like she was someone else.
"What should you do when treated like that? Those crazy guys are harassing me and I just have to keep quiet? You too, why don't you help me?"
"WHAT? Are you angry with me now?!" Carl flicked his waist, he glared at Liliana.
"Do you think my master is angry? All right, just think of it. I am indeed angry with the master, because the master as the owner of this place was silent even when one of his employees was harassed."
Carl's flabbergasted."Huh! Are you protesting against me? Do you deserve that? You even live with my money, without my money you wouldn't live!" Carl pushes Liliana's tiny body with his index finger, Carl is haughty and arrogant.
"Boss, it's the boss." said another employee to Carl, seeing his boss' emotions he was trying to calm down.
"Boss, she's just a woman. Don't exaggerate!" Said a male employee while holding Carl's body which was already showing emotion. His face was red and his eyes were staring intently at Liliana.
Nancy also tried to calm Liliana who was angry with Carl. "Lily's been-"
The girl refused to listen to Nancy. "Why? What did I say wrong? So, am I living with your money? Don't I deserve money because I work here? So, don't talk like you're giving us money for free!" Point Liliana at Carl's body, pushing her.
"What did you say? You brash woman!!" Carl pushes Liliana until she falls on one of the tables in the restaurant. Luckily, only a few customers came because it was night and only male employees worked there.
Bruk!
Liliana's body fell to the floor, the table and chair she hit also fell down. The customers and employees at the restaurant saw it, guessed from their faces if they were surprised. Don't ask anymore.
"You..how dare you talk to me? You insolent woman! Were it not for the kindness of my heart, you would have been sold by your father to a brothel! Or you're already the 6th wife of Marquez Sven!" Shouted the man to Liliana.
Marquez Sven's? Who else is that?. Liliana was silent for a moment, she tried to digest the name in her memory but really she did not remember about the name.
The officer there tried to stop Carl from beating Liliana. Nancy helped Liliana to stand up. "Lily, are you okay? Are you hurt?" Nancy saw her friend.
"Damn it! Damn woman you, cuihhh!!" Carl was still furious that he even spat at Liliana.
One of the officers asked Nancy to take Liliana away from there so that things would not get heated up. Nancy took her emotional friend in a hurry, avoiding Liliana from trouble.
Eventually the two girls walked home in one direction. That night they passed through a fairly steep road without lighting to their homes.
"Why did you fight the boss? You usually stay quiet."
"Then should I just shut up?" Liliana looked at her friend.
"Lily, from this morning I felt something was wrong with you. You're like everybody else, are you possessed by something, huh?" Nancy knows best about Liliana because they knew each other from childhood. Can sense Liliana's significant change in attitude.
"Nancy, at the restaurant, I told you. If I forget everything as soon as I wake up." Liliana was clear to her friend.
I'm not even sure who I am. Like something was missing in my heart.
"ah! So it wasn't a lie? So you hit your dad?" Nancy stared at Liliana.
"On that, I think it might be true. You're telling me my dad's a bouncer?" The girl's lyrics to Nancy walking right next to her.
"Yes, your father always tortured you."
"Let's forget that, how about our savings money to escape it?" Liliana looked at Nancy with a smile.
"My savings are intact, but yours doesn't seem to be. You told me a few days ago that your father found the savings you were hiding and he used it to gamble."
"WHAT? You bastard father!" Dengus Liliana was annoyed.
Nancy was stunned to see her friend cursing like that. Because the Liliana he knew had never cursed like that, the Liliana he knew was a gentle woman and had never fought her father. Liliana looked different.
"Good.I like you like this." Nancy smiled.
.
"Thank God, I love being friends with you too. Oh yeah Nancy, tell me about me before I lose my memory?" Liliana was curious about herself in the past.
On the way, Nancy tells about Liliana's past before she loses her memory. Of course he happily told her, the habits of Liliana, the attitude of Liliana's father and their togetherness as friends.
The next day at an inn in the royal city center of Istanbul, Max did not immediately return to the palace. He went out and walked first until the crackdown on prostitutes on Gardian Island was over. This was done by the army led by Adrian.
Geck, tok, tok!
The door of the inn room was knocked by someone from outside. Max is seen sitting on a chair while cleaning his bloodstained sword.
"Your Majesty, it's me Eugene."
"Lake in!" Max said to the man who knocked on the door.
Eugene opened the door and carried some documents in his hands. Not to forget as soon as he paid his respects to the crown prince of Istvan kingdom. His gaze was fixed on that blood-soaked sword. "Your majesty what happened when I left?" Eugene asked worriedly.
"As usual, that witch sent a killer for me." Max glanced at the pile of 5 dead bodies on the other side of the room. The corpse was covered in blood and as usual no one could defeat it.
Your Majesty is great. Eugene praised Max in his heart.
"Why are you even asking that? What do you want to come here?" Ask Max again. "Just say it!"
"Your highness, I've gotten information about Duke Geraldine's family. About Miss Adaire you asked, Mr. Duke does not have a child named Adaire. He only has one daughter named Adara."
Max immediately retrieves the documents in Eugene's hands. He was stunned in disbelief at the documents he saw. "No way! How could there be no one named Adaire? Duke Geraldine has a daughter named Adaire Charise Geraldine!"
"Sorry, your majesty, but Duke Geraldine only has one daughter and it's named Adara. Maybe that's what your highness is looking for?"
"No! Not him, but Adaire!" Max shouted while biting the lower lip of his lips in a fit of anxiety.
If Adaire doesn't exist..then where is she? Why does the future change?
Max remembered Abartia's words before she turned back the clock.
