The Second Life Liliana
Chapters 168. Get out of front of me!

Max suddenly felt bad when he saw Aiden there. Many questions popped into his head. Aiden also felt uncomfortable when he saw Max there, especially when Liliana had a chance to talk to him. Is it possible that Liliana felt something on Max?

His intention was to leave there, not so he did when he saw Aiden there. Max turned around and walked towards Liliana and Aiden.

Relax, Aiden, you have to behave as usual.

"Miss Liliana, do you know this young man?" Aiden asked with a gentle smile as usual. Aiden looked at Max deeply, trying to look at him, but he still maintained his smile.

"A if I-"

Max trims Liliana's speech. "We don't know each other, but this lady she owes me." Max answered just at the origin, without looking at Liliana and focused on Aiden.

Why do I feel uncomfortable like this when there's King Gallahan by Liliana's side?

"uh? A debt? I owe you a debt?" The girl was caught hearing Max say to her.

"And it looks like we have to settle that debt, missus." Max holds Liliana's hand.

"Uhh..." Liliana looks confused because Max who had been indifferent to her became indifferent again.

"I'm sorry, but he went with me. He also has a debt on me." Aiden dares to pull Max's hand that holds Liliana's. The man smiled gently as if showing no hostility.

"debt? W-wait, I don't have a debt to you two!" Liliana glanced at Max and Aiden alternately.

Liliana was in the middle between the two men. Men with high status as leaders in the kingdom.

"Sir, who asked this lady? What's his brother's master?" Max asked Aiden in a cold voice.

"I-i"

"He's just a guy I accidentally met on the ship, he's nobody!" Liliana directly cut Aiden's words.

Aiden's heart throbbed as Liliana slashed her words and said that she was a nobody.

"Oh, so can I talk to you, miss?" Max glanced at Lioiaha.

"Miss Liliana, but I want-"

Liliana cut Aiden's words and looked at Max. "Sorry Mr. Aiden, I have to talk to you first"

"Maximilian, that's my name." Max said to Liliana.

No more lies this time, Max was telling the truth about his name. Unlike when Liliana first met Max.

Liliana was stunned to hear Max introduce himself. It was strange to hear that name. 'Maximillian, where have I heard that name?'

"Miss Liliana?" Max and Aiden call Liliana's name compactly. That was because they saw Liliana suddenly daydreaming for no reason.

"Yes, I'll talk to you sir. It just so happens that I want to talk to Mr. Maximilian."

Yeah, I need to talk to him about this money.

"Come, we'll find a quiet place to talk!" Max invites Liliana to find a quiet place where they can talk.

The girl nodded her head. "Mr Aiden, after this may never meet again. So, I thank Mr. Aiden for being a conversation partner. Then, I would also like to apologize for my disrespectful behavior towards Mr. Aiden."

Miris Aiden heard Liliana's words as if hinting at a farewell and said as if they would never see each other again and this was the last time they met. Aiden caught Liliana's speech like that.

Max notices Aiden's face, not knowing what he thinks of her.

Nah! Why even a farewell sentence? I don't want to just part from him.

"You have nothing wrong with me. In fact, I should thank you for making me soup to relieve seasickness. I still hope you accept my offer."

Lily made soup for him? Waitaminute! How long have they met?. Max notices Aiden and Liliana talking together.

"If I need money, maybe I will accept the offer of master!" The girl smiled cheerfully as usual.

"I'll be there if you change your mind!" Reply Aiden while pointing to a restaurant not far from the dock.

"Hahaha.good sir."

Max and Liliana walk side by side, occasionally Max and Aiden's eyes meet each other and imply a battle in gaze. But Aiden calmly, he kept smiling.

Has the past changed so much? Is it true that the meeting of Liliana and the king of Gallahan was a coincidence?

Max wonders in his heart, he feels that presence is not a coincidence and somehow his feelings are very unpleasant. Outside the two of them look not to know each other, yes because in the past now has not brought them together like before. Maybe only people with memories know about the past, but Aiden doesn't? Max thought in his heart.

In fact Max is wrong, Aiden not only remembers the past, he also has changed the past and the present. It's just that Max doesn't know that, that Aiden was also involved in the soul-selling agreement he did.

Now, Max and Liliana are in a dining area not far from the pier. Before that, Max asks Adrian and Eugene to leave first but not far from there.

The atmosphere between Max and Liliana was so quiet, both of them were equally awkward. Moreover, Liliana remembered the hot kiss and they almost had intercourse on that night.

The silence was short-lived, until Max rebuked Liliana. "Do you want to drink, or eat something?"

"I've had breakfast."

"It's breakfast, it's lunch and it's lunch time."

"Yes, too, yeah, but I'm not lap-"

Kruuukkk...

The shameful sound that had somehow come from where it came from, made Liliana fixated and held onto her stomach.

"MU..." Max smiled while holding back a laugh.

"That's not my voice! Really that-"

Kruuukkk...

"Ish..am! Fucking stomach!" Liliana grumbled while holding her stomach, suddenly she lowered her head in embarrassment. While Max painstakingly held back his laughter for not wanting Liliana to be offended.

"Don't blame your stomach for asking to eat. You're always gonna say that a man can't die on an empty stomach."

Liliana swallowed her saliva, she was shocked to hear Max say. "I said so? When?"

That sentence was indeed familiar to me but when did I talk to him?

Uh! I mispronounced. I forgot that Lily, lost her memory and won't be able to remember me. Max avoided Liliana's gaze at him.

"Servant! Comehere!" Max told a waiter there, he tried to switch the conversation. A woman approached the two of them and immediately asked them what they wanted to order.

Max immediately said his order and the food was not his favorite food but Liliana's favorite. "Spaghetti bolognese, don't use vegetables."

The girl flinched for the umpteenth time, she felt Max had known her a long time ago. "Why did you order that?"

"Because you're suk-ah, I mean because I like." Max stuttered, again he could not help but act as if he did not know Liliana. Honestly, his heart was so hurt that he had to keep this attitude in front of Liliana.

"You like spaghetti?" Liliana asked with a frown as if she could not believe what the man had said.

"Yes, I like it."

"I happen to like it too. We order two and the drinks-"

Strawberry juice. Max replied.

"Strawberry juice!" Reveal Liliana while smiling at the waiter.

"Ordinary water."

"Well, ladies and gentlemen, please wait a minute!" Said the maid kindly, who then stepped away from there.

Max and Liliana sat silent again in silence. And this time Liliana asked Max first. "So..your name is Maximillian?"

The man did not immediately reply, he looked doubtful. A few seconds later he answered.

"Yes, my name is Maximillian..."

"Hem, so you're an Istvan?"

"true."

Again the child was disappointed with the cold answer that came out of Max's mouth.

This guy's response was always cold to me.

"Oh, then why do you want to talk to me? You want to take all your gold coins again? Then, you just take it. Only the gold coins are left with 680 coins. Well.. for 20 points I'll pay you after I get the job."

"No! I'm not talking to you for that, there's another reason."

Lily, I can't and I can't. I'll break my promise if you're around me.

"Another reason?" Liliana looked at Max.

"Yes right, another reason."

"What?"

"Later I'll say, after we eat together."

Meanwhile, the restaurant is adjacent to the restaurant where Liliana and Max are located. Aiden and Dorman are also three bodyguards on duty to keep Aiden safe there.

"Your Majesty, if your majesty is not calm like this... Why doesn't the noble just join them?" Dorman saw that there was anxiety on his king's face and again it was because of Liliana.

A lady of the common people who can make a great king a fog.

"Dorman, you shut up! Or. You just order food for us." Aiden was still focused on staring at the two people sitting at the same table. Liliana and Max. His hands clenched tightly, he bit his lower lip. Aiden was very curious about what Max and Liliana were talking about.

So... It seems like they have met before? Liliana had met him before she met me. What has happened between them? Damnit damnit! Why did I lose the start again?

"As the saying goes, love knows where to go home and a soul mate will certainly meet despite being separated like anything." The words of a black-clad woman who had just made Aiden immediately glanced at her. He was overwhelmed by the old woman's words.

Aiden and Dorman stared at the black-clad old lady sharply. Her hair looked bleached, her lips twisting a thin smile. "From the beginning, he's not yours.then you won't be able to have him as you wish. They were already destined to be together despite the tough test they were on. Even the test will make their relationship stronger than before. No matter how strong the storm tries to separate them, they will stay together."

What does the old woman mean?

Aiden moved from his seat and approached the old woman in a black hood, he was visibly emotional to see her. "What do you mean talk like that?"

"Sorry sir, I was just reading a poem. I didn't say anything." the old woman showed Aiden the book of poetry she had read because the man seemed to not believe her.

Aiden immediately grabbed the book held by the old woman and read it. After he confirmed the contents of the book, he immediately handed the book back to its owner.

The old woman smiled, then she glanced at Aiden at a glance. Really, Aiden seemed to dislike the old woman's cynical look at him. "Master, never attempt to cut the thread of destiny from God. Because someday you'll feel the consequences." The woman said sharply.

Aiden gasped in shock, his eyes widening at the old woman. "What do you mean?"

"Hehe, it's okay sir. I just read one verse of poetry in this book, how? Nice right?" The old woman showed her smirk.

Aiden did not reply, for some reason he was upset by what the strange old woman had said. Aiden sat back in his seat in annoyance.

"Your highness, do I need to do something to the old woman?" Ask Dorman

"No need! Get out of here and order some food!" Said Aiden while grumpily holding back his emotions.

That old woman is so annoying.

****

After Max saw Liana finished finishing her meal, he immediately started their conversation. "Miss Liliana."

"Ah wait a minute! This is your money, sir." Liliana cut off Max's unfinished words, she took out a cloth bag filled with coins given to her by Max earlier. He put the cloth bag on the table.

"No! That's for you, but-"

"But what sir?"

"Get out of this country, get out of my sight and never show up in front of me!"

Liliana's heart was struck by lightning, and it hurt when she heard Max ask her to leave. "But..mis it me what sir? Why did you ask me to leave?" Liliana spoke informally to Max. Seen under his eyes there was water rushing to get down.

Max nearly collapses to see the woman he loves almost cry, but he recalls a promise to himself and Liliana. That he would not let anything happen to the girl and stay away from her was the best course.

"Why didn't you answer my question? Your attitude... It's very strange, do you know? You turn my heart back, you help me, be nice to me, you hug me and even kiss me! Sometimes you're warm and then a second later you're cold? Then now you tell me to stay away from you, not to appear before you. What exactly was the mistake I made?"

Max was stunned to hear Liliana's complaints about him, he did not expect that the woman was so angry when told to stay away from him. Then, the tears fell unbearably. I don't know what made the woman so carried away in the man she had even just met.

"Miss-"

"You want me to go, right? Well, I don't want to meet a double personality like you either! Don't ever tell me to leave this country, because I just got here. But I promise I won't be where you are, and even if I meet you or even see you. I..will immediately step away from your sight!"

Liliana immediately stood up from her seat in annoyance. As Max moved from his seat, he handed Liliana a handkerchief. "You-"

"No need! I don't need your attention..." Liliana brushed off Max's hand and not the handkerchief she was holding.

I really don't understand this guy, with just one word he can make my heart hurt. Who is he for me?

"Miss Liliana..."

Liliana leaves Max alone there. Max stared sadly at the woman's departure, his hands outstretched now back in place. "Sorry Lily, in this life I won't bother you and I think this is indeed the best for both of us. I promised I'd take care of you from afar because I know your happiness isn't with me." Max muttered with his sad face.

"You are so stupid, your majesty!"

Max gasped in shock as soon as he heard an unfamiliar voice right behind him. Max looked towards the voice. Apparently there was an old woman who was in the restaurant where Aiden was.

"You...Brieta??" His eyes were wide staring at Brietta. The figure of the fortune-teller who had helped him a lot and Liliana

Why would Brieta recognize me? Shouldn't he not know me because in the present we don't know each other and don't even meet.

"True, this is my Brieta.Her Majesty the King, ah or now should I call his highness the crown prince." Brietta took down the hood.

"You.. how can you-" Max stuttered, he did not expect that the astrologer remembered the past and the present just as he did.

"You are truly a noble fool, you have made a mistake by going back in time. You will only make things worse, because the past that used to be now has changed a lot. Am I really your highness?" Brieta circus.

From her tone Brieta sounded angry, as if she did not like what Max was doing by turning the clock in favor of Liliana.

"Looks like we should talk, Brieta."

"Haahh, well, your majesty, I also want to talk to your highness. I have a lot to talk about, but now it is better to go after Miss Liliana!"

"What?"

"Don't let her fall into someone else's arms, or I'll regret it for the rest of your life."
