The Second Life Liliana
Chapters 178. Must fight first

...🍀🍀🍀...

Laura looked at the man in front of her sharply, her face looking annoyed. While Eugene was, he only let out a flat expression as usual.

The reason that makes Laura angry is because Eugene has become her lover, but since they expressed love for each other. Eugene had never seen Laura again since then, citing busyness. Yes, Laura knows that her boyfriend's job is not easy.

He gained the confidence to guard the crown prince of Istvan kingdom, even he always followed his half-brother wherever his half-brother went. Eugene was Laura's bodyguard at first, but the queen suddenly transferred him to Maximilian's bodyguard. The Queen knows that there is something between her beloved Princess and her loyal bodyguard, aka the head of the black night Knights.

"Do you think I'm so easy for you? We've been telling each other how we feel, but why do you seem to be avoiding me? Maybe something is bothering you?"

Laura is the type of person who is outspoken and easy to express his feelings or what is in his mind, whether it is in the form of questions or speculation in his mind. Laura doesn't like to hide feelings. That's what Laura is now, because the former Laura prefers to harbor feelings.

Hearing Laura ask such a question to him, made the man look up while looking at Laura. "Ine! I asked you to come here not as a knight of my brother's bodyguard, but as my lover. Know you? How I miss you when you're away from me, I'm afraid something happened to you on the battlefield. But. It seems like you never thought of me much less missed me. What do you think I am?!" Laura hissed annoyedly to Eugene who during his time on the battlefield had never been preaching it. Every letter Laura sent to Eugene never got a reply.

"I'm sorry, your majesty, I-"

~Chu

Eugene was silent, while Laura's lips were fused with his even just a glance. Eugene was stunned to see the girl. On the other hand he was restless, afraid that anyone would see what they were doing there. "Your highness,"

"Eugene..why don't you reply to all the letters I sent you? Do you want to break up with me after we're in a relationship? You said you wouldn't give up on me!" Laura looked at the man with dewy eyes. His hand held Eugene's shirt and pulled it.

"Letter? Your honor, what letter?" Eugene asked, not understanding.

"You really don't know? As long as you go to the battlefield with my brother, I always send you letters. But there's not a single reply to my letter from you!" Laura explained that she always sent letters to Eugene.

Eugene paused for a moment, then he looked towards Laura.

Was the Queen holding all those letters?

"Ine! Answer me, why don't you get all my letters back?"

"How can I reply to a letter I never even received?"

Laura's forehead shriveled, her eyes squinting at Eugene as if in disbelief with what he said. "You... never received a letter from me?" Laura began to doubt. Though he was convinced that the letter had reached Eugene through the message-sending bird.

The man shook his head confidently. "I never received his glorious letter."

"Mother.mom must have done it!" The girl muttered annoyed at Freya, her mother. The queen of the Istvan kingdom.

"Thank God," There was a beautiful smile on Eugene's lips.

"What did you say?"

"Thank God, because for 3 years we met.you're okay." There was a longing in the man's eyes for Laura. Seeing Eugene's gaze to her, made Laura sure that the man did indeed have the same taste as her.

Yeah, they love each other. But social status, degrees separate them. Eugene was from an ordinary folk who had no status whatsoever, whereas Laura was a royal princess. What a status like heaven and earth.

"You...do you miss me as much as I miss you?" Look at Laura expectantly to the man.

"Lied, if I say no."

Laura smiled sweetly, then she hugged Eugene longingly. Eugene had not returned his embrace, he was afraid that someone would notice the two of them. Especially the people from the Queen faction.

"Your highness." said Eugene who hesitated when he would return Laura's embrace.

"Eugene, I love you.I miss you. I'm so happy to see you again, especially now that you look more handsome." The girl chuckled after praising Eugene's good looks.

Unknowingly Eugene smiled, he let the girl hug him.

God, what is the fate of our relationship going forward? I guess, me and the princess have no future.

In Eugene's heart of self-doubt, he knows that his relationship with Laura is off limits. In terms of status, standing, they should not be able to be together. But the love between them has grown so strong. Of course it was strong, because Laura and Eugene had loved each other since they were kids.

But unfortunately, Eugene is ordered by the late king to go to war with Max. Since then, Laura and her lover have rarely met.

"Eugene, aren't you going to hug me? You...don't miss me?" Laura raised her head, she looked at that confused looking Eugene face.

"I know Eugene, I know you're like this because you're afraid of our relationship, what's the future like and what's the end for us? But, I don't care about that at all Eugene. All I know is, I love you!"

Laura's words coming from the bottom of her heart, made the defense in Eugene's heart begin to collapse because of it. Though today he plans to break the love relationship between them, because he knows how the end of their relationship.

No, Eugene you can't melt. You must stick to your decision to part with Princess Laura.

"Your majesty, I want to talk about something with-"

Laura had one index finger on Eugene's lips, the silver-haired beauty shook her head. "Sstt.no Eugene, I don't want to hear you talk. Right now, let me do the talking and you need to listen!" Tutored firmly.

Every time I see your eyes like this, I know you want to break up with me. But. I will never realize all your wishes.

"Your highness..."

"Eugene, I'm asking you to shut up!" Laura took her hug off Eugene.

Eugene shut his mouth tightly, he was always made helpless by the girl. "Eugene, I will always fight for our love. So, please you should do the same with me. Don't ever give up on me, I'll talk about this to my mom." Laura had been thinking about this for a long time, for this relationship to continue. So Laura had to tell her mother the truth that she loved Eugene.

Eugene suddenly looked up to Laura's words that would tell their relationship to the queen. "Your Majesty.what will you do? Why your majesty..."

Laura held onto Yujin's hand while looking at her with condense eyes. "Eugene, this is my final decision. I can't live without you. I beg you, you should-" too"

That hopeful beautiful face, now looks disappointed. He took off his hand from Laura. "Your Majesty, I've said it to your majesty. That our relationship will not end well. Your highness the princess herself knows that, right? How can I who is a commoner expect love and a relationship with a daughter of the King?"

"So... You want to give up on our relationship?" Laura asked disappointedly.

"Your Majesty, from the beginning our relationship has been wrong. Want to fight like anything, the result is we will still be separated!" Eugene said firmly.

I'm sorry, Laura's daughter, I have to do this.

Laura sighed, tears began to fall down her cheeks. His hands are clenched strong. "You won't know the end before you fight!"

"Fight? What can I fight for you, your majesty? The money? The status? A fortune? I can't give all that to your majesty! Me, just an ordinary guy who wants to live quietly. So, please don't bother me anymore!"

Laura could not help but cry, her heartache as Eugene turned out to give up. Even though he already knew that the man, repeatedly wanted to say that he had given up on their relationship. But still his heart ached, like there was a godam hitting his chest.

"Eugene..."

"If no one else wants his majesty to say to me, I say retreat." Eugene bowed half his body in front of the royal princess, he was acting formally.

Believe me, that the man's heart was also deeply wounded saying this. She loves Laura very much, but she doesn't want this love to hurt them both later. Better to break up from now on, on already struggling but eventually even sad. Really, her heart was also very sick seeing Laura cry like this. He wanted to wipe away his tears, but what power. He must be willing to break this relationship.

Without them realizing there was a pair of eyes watching and listening to them talk. He was standing behind a wall, not far from there.

"Eugene..." Laura still hopes from Eugene.

So you choose to give up?

Eugene simply left from there, leaving Laura even though the format had not been accepted by the royal princess. As per the customs and traditions in the royal family, if the subordinates are giving their respects to the royal family. And the King's family has not received that respect, so there will be consequences.

A loud voice filled with anger, calling out the black night's knight chief's full name. Until his steps stopped.

"You're really very disrespectful to a member of the royal family, I. haven't even received your respect!" He firmly on Eugene while wiping his tears from earlier continued to flow.

Eugene turned his body and walked closer towards Laura. "My honor, your honor,"

The man was so formal and cold to his lover, yes he did deliberately act like this because he wanted to affirm the relationship between the two of them.

"Sir Eugene Ellenio Rhodes! Stand here saluting, never sit down until I tell you to stop!" He looked at the man with a sharp and piercing look.

Why did you break my heart like this Eugene? What is my fault with you? Is it hard to fight with me? Am I the only one who loves you and you don't?

The beautiful girl began to think that it was not, that only she loved the man and the man did not love her.

There was nothing Eugene could do but surrender to the circumstances, notaben yes he was indeed a subordinate who had to obey a superior let alone the superior was a member of the royal family whose position was very high, not least, much different from himself.

He obeyed and stood there bowing his head while saluting. "Good! Stay there, stand there, until you're DEAD! It's not worth the pain in my heart."

Laura pointed her finger at the man she loved, she cried and got angry at him. Then he left Eugene alone there without caring if the man was still standing there or not.

Eugene glanced a little, the girl actually went to leave him there. In her heart she continued to apologize to Laura for making her cry.

"Miss, out!" Eugene said suddenly and startled the woman behind the wall.

Finally the woman came out of her hiding place. She was Liliana, "I'm sorry my escort master, I accidentally saw and heard you guys talking."

Eugene felt familiar with the voice. He looked up slightly towards Liliana. The girl in the blue dress stood in front of him. 'This woman? Wasn't she the woman pursued by the noble crown prince.'

"Master of the bodyguard, love is not just one person. But done by two people, that's what relationships are called. Without starting a business and fighting, we will not know how it ends. Don't judge what the end of love is, before you know what it's like to fight."

Eugene was struck by Liliana's words, his heart as if it were pierced by something sharp.

...Don't judge what the end of love is, before you know what it's like to fight....

Those were the words that made him speechless. He did not want to fight because he already knew how the story ended. But Liliana is as thought with Laura, that the name of love must be fought for no matter what the end result. The important thing is to fight and try.

"You...are you here looking for your majesty?" Eugene asked to switch the conversation. He didn't want to talk about his romance with Laura to Liliana.

Why is this woman here? Did he come to see the crown prince?

"Your majesty? You mean the master is Maximillian?"

"Miss, please watch your talk! Here palace! If you call your highness with such a call, there you will be severely punished." Eugene stared intently and seriously at Liliana.

"really? Is he really a future king?" The girl was innocent, not believing that Max was king. "Ah.forget about that. Are you okay, sir?" Liliana asked worriedly seeing Eugene still standing tall.

"I'm fine, then why is Miss here?!"

"Oh I-"

"Liliana! Where have you been? I and Keyra have been looking for you." Chloe said as she approached Liliana.

"Well, you finally found me, I'm sorry Chloe. Hehe.." said the girl while chuckling softly.

"Let's go! We have to go to training" said Chloe, who immediately pulled Liliana to leave. He could not even say hello to Eugene who was still standing there.

"Master guard! You have to fight with your love, love knows no one's status. You heard me, didn't you?" Liliana yelled at Eugene while walking away with Chloe.

"Court day training? Is that miss going to be the coming palace?" Eugene muttered softly. "Do you have to tell your highness the crown prince or not?"

*****

On the other side of the palace, Max and Adrian are walking down the hallway of the palace and looking for Eugene.

"You sure you don't know where he is?" Ask Max to Adrian.

"Sorry, your majesty, I don't know."

"Ish...Where is he?"

Max continued walking down the hall, until his attention was fixed on some women passing by near the palace garden. One of the women had red hair.

"Lily??" Max muttered Liliana's name.

He walked away towards the red-haired woman. She was convinced that the woman was Liliana, because it was very rare for women who had red hair. Not rare, but rare.

Max sees Liliana there with 4 women and a man he knows, Gustaf. Believers of his late father, King Alberto.

That really is Liliana, right?

"Your majesty did not look wrong, she was indeed the lady we met at the diamond club," said Adrian suddenly.

Max glanced at Adrian at a glance, as if Adrian you were what he was thinking right now. "So, I'm not hallucinating?"

Max breathed, and he said. "What are Gustaf and the women doing there?"

"I heard that today there is a palace election."

"Where to?"

"The palace of princess Laura and the noble palace of the crown prince,"

"My country too?!" Max was surprised to hear it.

Why don't I know? And why is he here?

Max and Liliana have no idea that fate has brought them back together. As far as they go and avoid each other, they will stay together and they will meet at any cost and at any time.

Max, who had intended to find Eugene, noticed the woman's movements walking near the palace garden. "Your highness, forgive me.but we must go immediately to the city center, your majesty."

"Ah yeah, all right.I get it. We're leaving now!"

It's okay, maybe this is God's way of reuniting us. I can still see you by my side. No matter how far I go, we'll always be close. Is our destiny really together? Or is this just a mirage?

The man smiled fluffily on his lips, staring at Liliana there. Max let out a heavy sigh, he was forced to leave the palace first because of his work in the city center. However, Max was relieved that now Liliana was nearby and maybe if the girl was chosen to be the palace lady, they would meet every day.

"Why do I feel like someone is watching me?" Liliana muttered while looking around her.

"Miss Liliana, don't daydream!" Gustaf said reprimanding Liliana who was unfocused as he explained about the rules of the palace ladies' election.

"I'm sorry Mr. Gustaf, I'm more focused." Liliana lowered her head while apologizing to the middle-aged man.
