The Second Life Liliana
Chapter 26.No more than friends
...🍀🍀🍀...
"Oh, is your name Eugene?" Lily believed what Max said.
"Yes, my name is Eugene.hehe," the man grinned with a sinless face after borrowing the name of his guard knight.
"Miss, I'm sorry you seem to have misunderstood. In fact he is the one you are"
BUKS!
"Ouch!" Eugene screamed in pain as Max's hand hit his back hard.
Max approaches Eugene and Adrian, then whispers something to them. Liliana just dumbfoundedly looked at him in a daze, what Max whispered to the two men who didn't even know who.
Eugene and Adrian nodded their heads obediently. "If there's nothing to talk about anymore, I have to go, Mr. Eugene," Lily told the man.
"Tu-wait! Why are you in such a hurry? Shouldn't you get to know the two of them first?" max's gaze was fixed on Eugene and Adrian who stood firm.
"Why should I?" Lily scrunched her forehead.
"Of course you should know who you'll be meeting often, as well as the person who will be escorting you," Max smiled widely, he was already planning to get into Liliana's revenge plan.
Liliana was stunned to hear Max say, what did that man mean? Max briefly explains that Adrian will be his bodyguard. The girl gets angry and rejects him, she does not want Max to interfere in her affairs because she can take revenge herself.
Max and Liliana's conversation became a debate, finally Liliana asked to talk to Max alone without anyone but them. While Eugene, Adrian, Blackey and Almoore are inside the house.
"If you don't want to be escorted by Adrian, you can choose who to be escorted by. I'll-"
"That's not what I mean. I don't want to be escorted by anyone!" Liliana cut down on Max's unfinished speech.
"You have a habit of cutting people's words?" Max begins to get upset with all of Lily's rejection of him. If it was another woman, perhaps Max had already punished her for already acting disrespectfully towards a member of the royal family.
"Eugene, I don't need your help. I can settle my own affairs, I can stand alone and protect myself, I beg you not to cross the line just because you know my secret!"
"If you don't involve me, I'll tell his Highness the Duke that you're-"
"All right, do whatever you want! You want one of them to escort me, don't you? Well I agree, but..."
"But what?"
"Whatever I do, the person controlling me cannot act without my permission!" Lily pointed her finger at Max's face firmly.
"Well, she's your bodyguard.Then treat her as you please," Max smiled happily as he managed to melt Lily a little stubbornly and get into her safe area.
It's okay, at least I can watch her from a distance while I'm busy. Adrian can report his every activity to me. I just wanted to protect her and I wanted to know what kind of wound she was hiding in her heart. I'll know everything later.
"Eugene... What exactly is your purpose in doing this? Why are you approaching me and acting like you care about me?" lily asked in a weak voice.
It's because I'm interested in you, but I can't say that right now. Max ingrained.
"I want to be friends with you,"
"Friends?"
"Yes, my friend..Why?" max asked as he extended his hand to shake with Lily.
A fella? Can I trust a friend? I previously had no friends, I was even betrayed by my own family. Can I be friends with someone?
There is no harm in trying to trust someone.
"May be no more than a friend" Lily replied as she extended her hand and shook hands with Max.
The crown prince of the Istvan kingdom was flabbergasted to hear the words of pain that slid from Liliana's lips. He pulled Liliana's hand, then pulled the girl into his arms.
Almoore and Adrian applauded from inside the house looking at the sight. Eugene and Blackey smiled. "Wow.look at that Sir Adrian!" Almoore excitedly looked at the cuddling scene.
"I had expected, most likely that miss would become the crown princess!" Adrian was convinced that Liliana would become the crown princess. Because Liliana is the only woman who gets special treatment from Maximilian.
"Don't tell the lady, but Miss Liliana's name is Miss Liliana," Eugene told the two men the name of the woman who had most likely stolen the heart of Istvan's royal crown prince.
Almoore, Adrian and Blackey only say Oooh from their mouths when they hear Liliana's name.
What after this you won't Playboy anymore, your majesty?
GREPS!
"What are you doing? Eugene?" lily asked in surprise because her body was in the chest embrace of that field. Max's burly hands were tightly coiled on his back.
"Don't hesitate to ask someone for help, you don't live alone. There are still many who love you in this world, God gave you life. Not just for revenge" Max half-whispered to the girl.
Liliana slightly piqued her heart to hear Max's words, which essentially said that life is not for revenge. Then Lily, kicking Max's leg hard, until the hug came off.
"Aw! Hey sick tofu! Just now the atmosphere between us..." Max holds his left leg which was hit by a hard kick from Liliana.
It seems he has not yet opened his heart.
"Stop that! I know a guy like you, trying to seduce me. But you won't make it," Lily was annoyed by Max's reckless gesture of hugging her. Liliana assured her heart that she would never fall in love and trust someone so deeply.
After that Lily was escorted home by Adrian on Max's orders. Max orders Adrian to always look after Liliana and she is obliged to report any activities of the girl to him.
Liliana and Adrian are on their way back to Geraldine's mansion in a horse-drawn carriage. "Sir, I'm sorry you had to be in this situation" Lily said, feeling bad that Adrian had to escort her.
"It's okay, lady, this has become my duty. I have to obey the crown prince's order," Adrian smiled kindly.
"The crown prince's rule?" Liliana was shocked to hear it.
"Who said the crown prince? I say supreme kstaria the bodyguard of the crown prince hahahaha,"
Mampus me, can be beheaded me later. if the noble secret is revealed because of my mouth.
Liliana looked at the man sharply. Suddenly the train carrying them stopped in the middle of the road and there were some people who opened the door of the train without permission. Adrian pointed his sword at the men, "Please! How dare you act like this!"
"Sir Adrian, save your sword. I know them" Lily told Adrian.
"Miss knows them?" Adrian wonder.
The knights were the knights of Duke Geraldine, his father. There was also Duke Geraldine, he immediately got off the horse and approached Liliana anxiously. "Son, are you okay?" Duke Geraldine embraced Liliana affectionately like her own child.
Lily recalled Max's earlier words that there were still many who loved her in this world. Maybe Duke Geraldine is one of them.
