The Second Life Liliana
Chapters 167. Why is he here? (Revision)

...🍀🍀🍀...

Personal assistant? Did I not hear wrong? Aiden offered me to be his personal assistant?

"Why are you quiet?"

"I'm sorry, I can't seem to. I'll find a job myself." Liliana refuses Aiden's good intentions to him.

Aiden let out a disappointed sigh, he thought maybe Liliana still needed time to get to know him. "Hem...I see, you must be suspicious of me, right?"

"Suspectedly? Why should I be suspicious? Who are you?"

"Who knew you suspected me of being a bad person? Aren't you?" Aiden brought his face closer to Liliana.

"Where might I be! We don't even know each other yet, why do you think negatively of my understanding? I just feel alert, can't it?"

Aiden only responded with a slow chuckle.

"Why are you laughing? Is there anything funny?"

Why are there always strange men around me?

"Nothing, it's just that you're still the same as du-" Aiden stopped his speech until there.

I almost slipped. No one knows that I have a past memory.

"As-what?"

"No! No, it's. Oh yeah, why did you go to Istvan kingdom?" Aiden tried to change the topic so that the two of them would not be awkward anymore.

"I want to find a new life there." Liliana is still talking formally with Aiden.

"But why in the land of Istvan? Are there not many other countries?" His brows turned upwards, he seemed suspicious of Liliana. Not suspicious, maybe she was afraid that Liliana would remember her past.

Is he there to meet King Istvan? It is impossible, if it is such a goal. This means Liliana has no memory loss. But she doesn't remember me, so she's lost her memory. No Aiden, don't panic! Liliana doesn't know anything.

There was some speculation in his head about why Liliana chose Istvan as a sailing destination.

"I don't know why either, I want to go there. I don't know why I want to go there and feel like there's something once I hear his name, Istvan."

Liliana smiled faintly, while holding onto her chest. Aiden instead looked afraid that Liliana remembered something about Istvan. There was no response from Aiden, he just fell silent like many thoughts.

"Then sir, why did you go to the Istvan kingdom?" Liliana asked Aiden.

"I went there to go on vacation."

"entertained? Isn't it nice to take a vacation to Gallahan? I heard that country is famous as a tourist country." Reveal the girl after hearing a chat one of the passengers of the ship about the country of Gallahan.

"Um.I'm tired of going there. Oh yeah, if you don't mind, you can talk informally to me."

"All right."

There was no meaningful conversation between them, just a question and answer interaction. Even after eating the soup, Aiden lost the chatter material with Liliana and made the girl return to her room.

Aiden was silent on the balcony of the ship, his nausea had already subsided thanks to the soup given by Liliana. Dorman approached Aiden who was seen sitting pensively on his own while staring at the night sky.

"Your majesty, if you want the woman.Her majesty can take her to the palace of Gallahan and--"

"Dorman, you're too much.you don't know anything." concluded Aiden with a smile that smirknya.

"Your Majesty, you seem to have forgotten that I have been by your side for a long time. From childhood I have accompanied you, accompany your growth and development. I know when your majesty is angry, sad, happy and I know that right now your majesty is agitated thinking about that girl right?"

"If I said yes, what would you say? Are you going to challenge me like my mother?" Aiden turned towards Dorman with a look.

Dorman was stifled by Aiden's words, as if he had not expected Aiden to say that. "No! I will not oppose your majesty, nor do I have the right to oppose your majesty and your Majesty will not oppose it either."

If your Majesty knew that the King liked someone, let alone that person was a woman, he would surely be happy. As long as the person is a woman. The matter regarding that girl who came from the commoners might be at issue later on.

"Huh?" Aiden looked up as if he could not believe what his confidant said. "Why would my mother agree? That girl is from the common people."

It was impossible for a royal family even a duke's family to accept Liliana as a family, due to Liliana's current status as an ordinary citizen, neither nobles nor the royal family deserve to be with a king of a great kingdom.

"Ehem..I'm sure if it's for the happiness of the king's majesty, the Queen Mother will definitely consider it first." Reveal Dorman with a smile.

"Is that so? If I proposed to her now, so my mom would agree, right?" Aiden asked while smiling at Dorman.

"Excuse me, your majesty, but I can't answer his noble question on that one.hehe."

"Hahaha.well, don't be so serious. I'm just kidding." Aiden laughed at Dorman's serious look.

"Your highness, I-"

"Go, I want to be here alone." Tell Aiden to Dorman.

"Your majesty is sure..want me to leave here?"

"Don't worry, I've been feeling better after drinking his homemade soup. If I get seasick again, I'll go inside."

Dorman looked at Aiden anxiously."But my noble-my-"

"Go Dorman! You can rest, tomorrow we will arrive in Istvan. There are a lot of guards here to look after me anyway."

Dorman was really confused by Aiden's attitude, because he suddenly wanted to go on vacation, then he wanted to go to the land of Istvan without any apparent reason. I don't know what Aiden's gonna do there. Dorman obeyed and left from there, leaving Aiden alone with the guard who came with them.

"In one week, I should be able to take you to Gallahan Kingdom. I should be able to approach him even more vigorously, don't let him and King Istvan meet." Aiden rubbed his chest in a daze. He hopes that with the memories of the past he has, he can change the feelings of Liliana and the storyline he deliberately made.

Make Max as a sacrificed goat and he who reap the rewards without sacrificing anything for Liliana. Is Aiden able to get Liliana what she wants?

-----

The next day, that morning everyone woke up and had breakfast together at the restaurant on board. Aiden who is not used to eating in crowded places, feels uncomfortable there.

"Seeing from anywhere, master must be a noble." Liliana sees an uncomfortable Aiden sitting there and crammed with everyone just to eat.

"I said, call me Aiden." Aiden used the words of the master of Liliana.

If he knew that I was not just a noble but a King.what would he say? I'd better be honest from the beginning, I'm afraid the past is repeated. He was so angry when he found out that I was a king.

"Hehe well Aiden, how about we find a comfortable place to eat?" Liliana sympathized with Aiden who really could not blend in with many people.

"Ah yes..."

Liliana invites Aiden to go behind the deck of the ship, there is very quiet and suitable to calm down. They ate there together alone and that was when Aiden wanted to reveal his true identity to Liliana.

"Oh yeah Liliana,"

"I'm not actually a noble."

Liliana swallowed her drinking water slowly, while paying attention to what Aiden was going to say next. "Then?"

Aiden sighed and then he said everything. "I'm a King."

"MU...." As the girl laughed, she could not believe what Aiden had said.

"I'm really serious." The look on Aiden's face at the time did not indicate that he was joking. But Liliana laughed out loud.

"Hahahaha yes, I know you're very funny." Liliana held onto her stomach while holding back a laugh.

"Gosh.I'm serious. I am a king!" Aiden patted his chest, trying to convince Liliana that his identity was indeed a king. But Liliana didn't seem to believe it just like that.

I thought he would immediately believe my words, but he instead thought my words were a joke. Aiden.

"Well, you are the king and I am the angel of the heaven that descends to the earth. Ahhaha..." Liliana thought that Aiden's words were a joke.

"Oh well, it's up to you! The important thing is that I've told you my true identity, if you don't believe it." Aiden pouted and immediately ate the bread on his plate in annoyance.

"You angry?" The girl glanced at Aiden, watching the man's reddened face.

"No, I'm not angry!"

"All right, your Majesty is a king,"

"You're mocking me again?!" Aiden stared intently at Liliana.

"I'm not mocking!" Denial without feeling guilty. In his heart he was mocking Aiden.

"Hey! I'm not a liar, I'm really a king. I told you everything,"

"All right..."

"uh right? You don't trust me?"

"I believe! I believe." Liliana smiled faintly.

Then the girl stood up while carrying her empty plate, "Where is her noble plate? I'll help your majesty keep it."

"Haaahhh... How fun are you mocking me like this?" Aiden sighed in annoyance, as he stood up from his seat.

"I'm not-"

Liliana walked backwards, accidentally hitting the nail on the boat. His body turned back and Aiden quickly caught Liliana's body. Until their bodies are close together, as well as their faces are close, making both eyes look.

My heartbreak is still the same for you, Liliana. Aiden felt his heartbeat still beating fast while near Liliana.

"You..it's okay?" Ask Aiden to Liliana.

"I'm fine, your majesty."

Why do I feel guilty when I come into contact with another man? But sinned against whom? And also... Why does the masked man always cross my head. Liliana thought of Max in her heart.

Aiden had to swallow in disappointment as Liliana pushed her body, as if keeping her distance. Aiden clenched his hands tightly, trying to calm down.

Don't panic Aiden, calm down...Liliana just needs time to fall in love with you. It just takes time!

After that Liliana started to keep her distance from Aiden, for some reason and for some reason. Aiden could not understand Liliana's heart, even to get close was difficult. Especially taking her heart?

But Aiden is not a person who never gives up just like that, he has done a cunning plan to become even the most cunning human to get Liliana in this life. So he will make sure that he will not fail and will make the best use of his time. He didn't want all his efforts in vain to get Liliana.

As time passed, all the passengers arrived at Istvan kingdom at noon. Similarly, the other ship occupants who also transit simultaneously in the royal dock.

"So this is the kingdom of Istvan! Why does it feel so familiar? I've been to this place." Liliana let out a long sigh, she looked around the pier. There are a few shops there.

Aiden followed Liliana from behind, he was so possessive of Liliana. Like fearing Liana would be snatched by someone. Apparently the fear happened, as Liliana was in the crowd and talking to a man. "Who is that?" Aiden muttered and could not clearly see the figure of the man who was with Liliana.

"Why don't you walk around looking?" Liliana complained that she had just been hit by a strong-bodied male figure in front of her.

Lily's? This voice..why is he here too?

The man was initially indifferent to Liliana, but when he heard the voice that always shook his heart. Finally he reached out his hand to help Liliana stand up. After Liliana stood up, the man let go of his handrails and turned his face away.

This scent..that's him..the masked man?.

"Wait on! Where are you going, mister?" Liliana called out to the man who looked familiar to her. The man walked away with his bodyguard, Adrian.

Liliana chased after the man, she even held onto his hand. But Max brushed Liliana's hand violently. "Don't bother me!"

"Aah!!"

Liliana's body was shaken because Max brushed his hand too hard. Quickly, Max pulls back Liliana's hand and finally the girl falls into Max's arms.

Whose heart is this?. Liliana panicked herself to hear the sound of Dig dug dag while in Max's arms.

"Why are you always so rude and cold to me?" Liliana complained as she looked up her head towards Max.

Max pushed Liliana. "Who are you?"

"You're that masked man, I know." Liliana looked at Max who was now faceless with a mask.

Max chooses to ignore Liliana, seeing Adrian waiting for her. "Master! I want-"

"Miss Liliana, are you okay?"

Max gasped in shock at the familiar-sounding voice. "Man's voice?" Suddenly he became silent on the spot, frozen and trying to guess whose voice?

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Adrian asked while looking at Max whose face was pale.

The king of Istvan turned his body and saw who was with Liliana. His eyes widened as he looked at Aiden who was with him.

Where possible? King Rayden? Why is he here?

"I'm fine," Liliana replied as she stared at Max dejectedly.

Aiden looked at Max, his eyes widening just as Max was looking at him. Their eyes met and looked at each other sharply.
