The Second Life Liliana
Chapters 190. Princess wedding procedure
Liliana is shocked when she sees a magic ball showing the face of the man she loves there looking at her.
"ACKK!! You pervert!!"
The girl immediately put on a towel, she threw her clothes towards the magic ball. Meanwhile Max turns off his magic ball call.
"Halaahhh.... Liliana must have been mad at me, I accidentally saw her. Why did he bring the magic ball to the bathroom anyway? It's not my fault I saw it!" muttered Max with trembling hands.
Actually her mind started to drift, imagining Liliana naked earlier. Though he had already seen that innocent body from their first life. But still she was ashamed of herself, impatiently she wanted to have that beautiful body of Liliana again.
*****
In Liliana's room, the girl had just changed into her nightgown. Still he's upset with Max being thought to be peeping at him. "Basic bawdy! How dare he look at my body, he must have gone mad!" The girl kept grumbling about Max.
"My daughter..Who sees your body?"
The soft voice made Liliana flinch in shock, she looked towards the origin of the voice. There the queen mother came to Liliana. "Your highness..."
"Hem.mom, not your majesty. Did you forget? That I'm your mother?" Ask the Queen mother to Liliana. The middle-aged woman walked over to him.
Aiden, thank you, you gave me a good mother. Liliana felt gratitude in her heart to the figure of Aiden who had passed away. Aiden seemed to have given him a new life. Moreover, the affection of a mother that she could not get in the past.
"Mother...is there any way that mother came to my room at night?" liliana asked as she held the hand of the queen mother, and then they sat on the sofa in the room.
The two sit side by side. The queen mother looked at Liliana with a smile. "From a long time ago, I dreamed of having a daughter, but God didn't tell me to get pregnant again after I gave birth to Aiden. I was weak, but I felt very happy because I had a son who loved me very much. And now that she's gone, she's still giving me her kindness.that's your presence in my life, a very beautiful princess." the middle-aged woman softly stroked Liliana's face.
"Yes mother, Aiden is a very good man, he gives a lot of happiness to the people around him including myself. I feel so grateful for him in my life..." Liliana also felt the same way as the queen mother, Aiden like the sun shining on her life. A good friend, a good man, but unfortunately he did not get the love of the girl.
"True, Aiden has given us a wonderful life. Especially to you, Liliana. And I hope, if you think about your decision to marry King Istvan."
Liliana was stunned, finally the Queen Mother opened her mouth saying what it meant to come to her room these nights. "Mother!"
"I'm sorry, not that mom forbid you to accept her offer later. However, there are still many men who deserve and are much better than him."
"Mother, I love her and Aiden has also said something about our relationship." Liliana.
"Hem.mom understands, but it feels too easy for him to get you." The Queen mother seemed to be thinking hard.
"Mothers mean?"
"Mother, won't let it be that easy to get yourself. Liliana, you are Mother's Daughter, a princess of a great kingdom, if she wants to marry you. Then he must go through the procedures set forth by our kingdom!" Suri exclaimed with a smile.
"Huh? What kind of procedure is that, mom?" Liliana looked towards the Queen Mother in confusion.
The queen mother simply smiled, then she said. "You just ask Dorman, he knows better what procedures some applicants have to go through who want to apply for the princess of Gallahan kingdom."
I want to see the power of your love once again, whether God does predestine you together as Aiden says.
The queen mother saw Liliana looking confused. Then after saying that, he walked out of Liliana's room. Not long after the chatter and the queen mother, the magic ball again lit up. He saw Max's figure in the magic ball.
"Lily, why did you turn off the magic ball? Are you mad at me? I'm sorry Lily, I really didn't accidentally see your body!" Max clenched his hands together and apologized to the girl, I did not accidentally see her bathing. More precisely, naked.
"I know, so don't apologize anymore." Said Liliana who did not want to discuss the matter. What he wanted to discuss was another matter.
"Why do you still look angry? Look at that crab-like face of yours!" point Max at Liliana's red face.
"I'm not angry! I'm just confused,"
"Stupid? Confused why?" Max asked while looking at Liliana from the magic ball.
"You can't apply to me yet" Liliana said.
"Huh? Whatchu mean? Why can't it?" The two dark black eyes of the man were perfectly rounded when he heard his lover's words.
"Said my mother, you have to go through the procedure you should."
"What procedures? I don't need any procedure to marry my own lover? It's not my boyfriend, it's my ex-wife, the one I love!" Max's assertion on Liliana.
"Hem.I don't know what procedure my mother mentioned, I'll ask this to Dorman tomorrow morning. Yes, I'm sleepy.I'll sleep." said Liliana who will close the magic ball back.
"No! Wait, why are you in such a hurry? We've been 52 hours, 33 minutes and 30 seconds, not seeing each other and not talking to each other! Why did you just end our conversation? Don't you miss me?" the man grumbled.
Looking at Max's wrinkled forehead, he was not happy with Liliana who had just cut off their conversation. Honestly, Liliana was moved by the man's words, because she even remembered all the times they had missed when they were not together.
"I miss." Liliana replied with a smile.
"But why do you want to talk about us?"
"Hem.if you don't want me to be angry, you have to sing me a song."
"What?!"
"Let's sing, I want to hear you sing a sleep song like you used to." Pinta Max leaning on the headboard of her bed.
Is Max still having trouble sleeping?
Liliana was a little anxious to hear Max's request to her. He knows Max has insomnia, especially after he's done a lot of work.
"Yes, I still have a hard time sleeping. Hence, you must help me so that I can fall asleep." Max explained everything, as if he understood what he saw from the look on Liliana's face.
"You listen to this song very well" Liliana said, sighing.
🎶🎶🎶
Here comes a wave
Meant to wash me away
A tide that is taking me under
Swallowing sand's..
Left with nothing to say
My voice drowned out in the thunder
But I won't cry
And I won't start to crumble...
When they try
Shut me or cut me down
I won't be silenced
You can't keep me quiet
Won't treble when you try it
All I know is I won't go speechless
'Cause I'll breathe
When they try to suffocate me
Don't you underestimate me
'Cause I know that I won't go speechless..
🎶🎶🎶
Liliana saw Max had fallen asleep with just a few lyrics of the song she was reading. "Good night, Maximilian..." Liliana gave a distant kiss to her lover. Then he turned off the connection of the magic ball connecting the two of them.
*****
The next day, Liliana began activities as a princess of Gallahan. It turned out that everything was quite easy for her, of course because she had previously been a Crown Princess in Istvan kingdom.
She did all her duties as Princess very well, attended charity events, worked on some documents that Aiden usually did. He could do everything, because in his first life he had experienced taking care of the royal order, with a myriad of tasks piling up, he was already used to it.
Then, in his free time. Liliana asked Dorman about the Procedure that the Queen Mother referred to. "Marriage procedures?"
"Right, do you know?"
"Of course, your majesty. The procedure in question is a competition, so there are several applications that enter and all applicants must go through a competition and selection. No matter the person was from a member of the royal family though, they should still follow him." Obviously Dorman while noting something on paper.
"Huh? Is there really anything like that?" Liliana was flabbergasted, she did not expect that there was this kind of procedure to also choose a future husband for her.
Liliana was silent for a moment, she seemed to think.
