The Second Life Liliana
Chapters 210. A trap for suspects

...🍀🍀🍀...

Guard at the palace was tightened, not only in the palace but also in the kingdom. Max ordered everyone not to come out of the palace and the kingdom. He'll find out who dares to poison his wife.

"Adrians! No one can get out of here, not even a mouse can! And catch that lady named Dorothy!" tell Max while holding his wife to walk in the hallway to get into his room.

Dorothy, she's the suspect because she brought the drinks for Liliana. All the palace ladies even some testified to seeing Dorothy put something into Liliana's drink. Dorothy was taken to prison for questioning.

"Your Majesty, I am innocent, I never put anything into the drink of the Queen's majesty." looks worriedly at Liliana who is in Max's arms.

Max did not answer Dorothy's words, his thoughts were currently only on Liliana who was unconscious. He couldn't trust anyone at a crucial time like this.

Meanwhile Laura was shocked and staggered, lucky her husband was by her side.

"Honey," said Eugene anxiously as he held onto his wife.

"The drink was almost me who drank it. If I drank it, then I was the-" said Laura still in shock.

Eugene began to think the same thing as Laura thought. If Laura drinks that drink, Laura will be the one who wretched. Was the poison deliberately intended for Laura or what? Eugene felt that he should investigate this.

"Honey, let's go back to the room." said Eugene took his wife away from there to calm down.

"Laura, my daughter are you okay?" freya asked as she held onto Laura's two cheeks anxiously.

"Mother.I'm fine, mother almost me.hiks.."

Freya hugged her daughter as if she was worried about Laura's condition. Though in his heart he was upset because it was not Laura who drank the gnaw poison. For some reason now Eugene began to suspect his mother-in-law's behavior, which suddenly went well when he had never liked her.

The Thanksgiving party ended in chaos and everyone's panic. The ministers and guests present should not leave from there before Liliana regained consciousness.

"This is crazy, who would dare to poison Her Majesty?"

"It looks like the guy's looking dead. Do you see the noble face of the king? His majesty is like wanting to kill people." said a noble.

"Prepare that man is finished! No matter who it is."

"Right, even we can't be allowed to leave here. Are we prisoners?"

Everyone was talking about Max's attitude that locked them all up in the palace. They would not be able to leave before Liliana regained consciousness, and Max did not care at all about the state of the guests present.

A lady-in-waiting looked nervous when she heard the conversation, and she left the palace hall in a hurry. Then a bodyguard took him away from there with his mouth shut.

******

Now Liliana is lying on the bed, with Max at her side. Seen her bloody dress, also around her face that spewed blood earlier.

Several healers came to the room to check on Liliana's condition. "Please! Quickly do something!" max shouted frantically as he ruffled his hair in a huff.

Lily, nothing can happen to you. You have to be okay, otherwise I'm going crazy.

"Your Majesty, calm down.we will check on Her Majesty!" Chris cried as the leader of the physician in the palace. He tried to calm the heart of a husband who was worried about his wife.

"Please! Please..save him!" max shouted out for help. Unknowingly the tears fell about her cheeks. He was really afraid that something would happen to Liliana like the past.

It made her panic and not be able to imagine it. It hurts to remember the past when Liliana was gone. Don't let him feel it a second time. Enough's enough! It was all his nightmares.

"Yes, your honor, we will do our best" Chris said.

Chris and several healers check on Liliana's condition and try to help her. But at the time of examination, Chris wanted to ask for a glass that Liliana had previously drank from there. Adrian handed the glass to Chris. The middle-aged man checked the contents inside the glass.

"It's a gynecologist" said Chris who had just made everyone stunned there. Especially Max.

Obstetric drug? What does it mean not that Liliana was about to be poisoned but that Laura was pregnant? Clearly, Max comes to the conclusion that Freya is behind all this.

Freya.the demon lady! I'll never let you get away this time.

Max clenched his hands tightly, holding back angrily. He couldn't bear to go to Freya immediately to hold her accountable, but Liliana's wife was still unconscious and made him stay there.

"This drug is given with a high dose and causes Her Majesty the Queen is unconscious" said Chris later.

"Is this dangerous for his life? You have to save him! Please!'' Max begged the physician.

After 2 hours of handling for Liliana. Finally the healers left, Liliana's pale face still lying weak.

Chris was there with Max. "Tabib, are you sure my wife is okay? Then why is he still unconscious?" max asked as he gently rubbed his wife's face with the same feeling of anxiety.

"Your Majesty take it easy, the queen's life is fine. The queen just needs a lot of rest, because of the bleeding. But-" said Chris suddenly hangs there and makes Max curious.

"What's? Say it!"

Chris posted half his body his face looked anxious."Forgive me, your majesty, I have to say this. Please forgive me-"

"Don't say much, just say it!"

"As a result of this bleeding, the Queen's noble womb became weak and the Queen's majesty would find it difficult to conceive" she explained, still bowing her head.

The deg!

Max was surprised to hear Chris' explanation, he immediately put his sharp attention on Chris. "Aren't you lying? You'll bet your life that what you're telling me is real honesty!" emphatically.

"I cannot lie about the condition of Her Majesty to the King, I still love my life" he said seriously.

Looking at Chris' reaction, the healer showed absolutely no lies in his words or in the look on his face. Moreover, not like this was a sensitive and serious matter as well, so how could he possibly dare to lie let alone to that imperial sun?

"Well, Lily's just having trouble conceiving instead of being unable to." the man muttered to himself. "Then healer Chris, you should keep your mouth shut! Do not let this news spread, you also have to keep this from the Queen" he said firmly.

The reason Max kept this from Liliana was because she was afraid that college students would feel sad about her situation. Despite hearing the diagnosis from Chris, Liliana will have difficulty conceiving. For Max it doesn't matter, Iya still think positively about it and don't want to bother about it. But if Liliana knew this, then she would turn out to be sensitive and emotional. He prefers to keep his wife feeling.

"Okay, my majesty, I will keep it a secret" replied Chris promised.

"If this news gets out, then your head and your family will be at stake. Understand you?!" Be firm with Chris.

"Yes, your majesty" replied Chris promising.

"Go!" her word.

Chris posted his body while saluting, then he left the room. Only Liliana and Max were in the room.

"FREEBIES! You're gonna die this time!" Max riled at Freya because he saw his wife's current condition.

The man left his wife there with a Daisy and was under strict guard because she was going to jail.

Daisy is anxious to see Liliana lying unconscious due to the poison. Daisy accompanies Liliana in her room and hopes that the girl will soon wake up.

"Your majesty, hurry up and wake up. I'm worried about your majesty." said.

The palace prison...

Dorothy is being interrogated with torture. His face was bruised, his hands and feet tied. Now he was preparing for the hot lead that was about to land on his face. "Say! Who told you to do it?!" ask a prison executioner, who has prepared hot iron in his hand.

"Don't pretend to be clear and ask about Her Majesty's condition! You're the one who made the Queen like this. Now, tell me! Who ordered you to poison the Queen? If you don't want to confess, then the lead in here will ruin your pretty face!" threaten the executioner.

"Sa-I will never admit to a mistake I never made! I've never done that and I've never been ordered by anyone!" emphatically. "I just want to give a drink to Princess Laura and Prince Eugene because they look thirsty and tired there" Dorothy said.

"How dare you lie! Obviously you've-"

As the executioner was about to put hot lead on Dorothy's face, the girl closed her eyes in fear. Then someone announced the King's arrival there. "Her Majesty the King has arrived!"

The executioner stopped his torture activities, aka interrogation. He kept the hot lead, then immediately saluted Max.

"Go! Leave me here with him!" the king's word to the executioner and the guards there.

Dorothy caught sight of Max. Then everyone left from there leaving Max and Dorothy in that cell. Dorothy was still firmly tied to a rope on a chair.

"Your majesty.I didn't do that, I really didn't poison your Majesty." Dorothy was crying.

"I know you're not the culprit, you can't do that to my wife. You're in a trap!" max told Dorothy.

If Lily saw Dorothy like this, she would definitely feel sad. Lily, I'm sorry I did this to end Freya's crime.

"But who wants to frame my noble one? Then how is the condition of Queen Sekraang? Is Her Majesty okay?" ask the lady to Max. He was very worried about Liliana's condition.

"The queen is not yet awake. Well, Dorothy, I need your help to catch the real culprit. But you have to pretend and work with me."

"I will do all the noble edicts of the king, that man, who has harmed the Queen, he must be caught and get the punishment he should!"

Dayang was willing to cooperate with Max, with the same goal of arresting the perpetrator aka the real suspect.

"Well, then listen carefully and answer my questions honestly. What really happened before that drink you served Laura's daughter and Prince Eugene?" max asked with a sharp look at Dorothy.

Dorothy told him everything she knew and what happened before she served the drink to Laura and her husband. Nothing is covered or added to the story. Max mustard, digesting what Dorothy told him. Then Max came to a conclusion about the palace lady who was in the kitchen at the time. There must be one of the queens there.

"Well, I've heard all your stories. Now you have to do something. That's sacrifice." said Max sharply.

Max talks about the sacrifice to Dorothy, not knowing what she planned to do with Liliana's faithful lady.

After that Max came out of Dorothy's cell, with an angry face he ordered that Dorothy be hanged in the city square tomorrow.

"Prepare the hanging for that palace lady! Tomorrow morning he must lose his life and everyone must see it!" the king's word to the prison executioner.

The executioner and some of the palace guards who heard him were immediately dumbfounded. What does this king mean? Did Dorothy admit that she was guilty?

"Okay, your honor."

They did not comment much just doing their heads and obeying the noble speech of the king.

****

Meanwhile Freya is seen talking to a black-robed man she deserted her palace. "What about her? Have you done it?"

"It's your honor,"

"Good, don't leave a trace. Get out of here and never come back!" Freya gave a sack that was okay to the man.

The man smiled wryly, he was very happy to receive the sack from Freya. Then the man left the palace of the Queen Mother.

Shortly afterwards Margaret came to tell the Queen Mother that Dorothy would be hanged. Freya was happy to hear it, it turned out that everything was right on target and that ladyboy who was the scapegoat.

"In this case, I can sleep well because there are scapegoats. Tomorrow I will see the Queen's loyal lady's hanging." Freya muttered as she laid her body on the soft bed.

He did not know that there would be something big waiting for him tomorrow.

*****

The next day, Liliana opened her eyes. He looked at the familiar ceiling, then his eyes looked around him. Apparently he was in his room.

"Sister! Sister-in-law, are you awake? I-I'll get the healer and I'll get someone to call brother!" Laura removed her hand from Liliana, then she moved from her seat to immediately call the healer and Max. But Liliana held her hand. "Daughter Laura.." - Liliana limp.

"Yes?"

"Are you okay? Are you..baby?" the woman who had just regained consciousness looked towards Laura's flat stomach.

Laura sat back in a chair not far from Liliana's bed. He held Liliana's hand. "I'm fine, sister, I'm sorry sister.because I'm sister like this." Laura said feeling guilty to Liliana.

The Istvan royal queen shook her head, "No! Please don't say sorry to me, you didn't do anything wrong to me. Instead of saying sorry, I need more words of thanks." Liliana smiled as she teased Laura who was crying. So that the condition of the pregnant woman becomes calmer and better.

It's proved!

Laura now smiled and began to wipe away her tears. "Sister.me and my son owe you our whole lives. Thank you for saving her." said Laura thank you.

"Thank God you're okay.But where's the King?" Liliana asked as she sat on her bed. His hand held the stomach that was still hurting.

Why does it feel like I lost my baby in the past?

"Sister is-" Laura hung her words there.

"What's Laura's daughter doing?" liliana asked curiously while arranging the royal princess.

"Sister is in the town square, he will punish.eungh..."

"Why are you stammering like this? Did something happen? Why did his Majesty the King go to the square?" the woman's forehead is wrinkled.

Shortly after, Daisy comes to the room, bringing food for Liliana. Daisy smiles happily seeing Liliana is conscious and she is just in time to bring food there.

"Your Majesty thank goodness you are awake" said Daisy relieved.

"Daisy.I will go to see the King" Liliana said as she got out of bed. Then he held her stomach. "Ugh..."

"Later to meet His Majesty, sister-in-law still has to rest first" said Laura worried to see Liliana still in pain.

"I need to see him now!" Liliana picked up her clothes and tidied up a bit of her hair. She can't wait to meet Max to talk to him.

When Liliana arrived in front of her room, she heard a conversation about her faithful lady-in-waiting who was to be hanged. Liliana was in shock and she immediately went to the square to stop Dorothy's death sentence.

Liliana cried, she did not expect that Max would punish her loyal maids.

"Eugene, help! Her Majesty the Queen went to the square riding on a horse alone, the guards were chasing after her!" exclaimed Laura anxiously.

"You don't have to worry, I'll catch up with the Queen. You're here, don't go anywhere." said Eugene, then kissed Laura's forehead.

His heart raced against the path of the horse, in a state of pain and pale face. Liliana went to the town square, behind her was a palace guard as well.

"Your Majesty stop! Your honor." said one of the bodyguards, but heedless.

He kept walking forward and made his horse run faster. Then within a few minutes, he arrived at the town square. He saw Max, Dorothy, all the people were in the town square.

"No... Dorothy..." Liliana shook her head.
