The Second Life Liliana
Chapter 35. Adaire and Liliana
...🍀🍀🍀...
Liliana looked at Max anxiously, as the red spots were clearly visible on her white skin. "Eh, what's wrong with you?" ask Max to be astonished.
I just saw him looking at me worriedly. Somehow I'm so happy, happier than when I calmed the border war.
"Why does your skin have red spots like these? Are you sick?" liliana asked in panic and worry. His eyebrows go up and down, seeing Max in such a state.
Her body is hot, so why?
"I'm fine," Max replied with a faint smile, he didn't want to make Liliana anxious and mess up their event. Although her conscience wanted to seize the opportunity to make Liliana pay attention to him.
"All right how? Your body is hot and you're also freckles like this!" Liliana said half-cried in anxiety. Until the people there looked towards Liliana and Max who were sitting in the audience seats.
"I'm fine" Max replied, turning his face away.
"You're not okay!" Liliana held Max's hand, she pulled the man away from there.
They were both in a quiet place. It was there that Liliana checked Max's condition, her hand touching Max's face. "I know you want to be alone with me, but aren't you being too aggressive by touching me like this?" tempt Max with a smile.
"I'm not kidding! Quickly remove your mask!" Liliana suddenly asks Max to take off the mask.
"Bu-open mask? Why-why?" Max scrunched his forehead.
"I want to see how severe the allergy is," Liliana replied as she looked at Max's face.
"Allergy? I'm not allergic!" adamant objection.
Why did he know I was allergic?
"Don't lie, I know you're allergic. Quickly remove your mask, no matter how ugly your face I will not mock you. There is no one here either" Liliana said in a loud voice to be denied. Liliana knew all about allergies, because she was also allergic to peanut powder while she was still in her old body.
In front of the woman, Max could not say no. He also opened his mask, now Liliana had seen how the man looked. The nose was sharp, the eyes were red, the man looked very handsome, there was no deformity on his face at all. Her skin was pure white, making Liliana stunned. Although it looks spots on his face, it does not reduce the man's good looks.
"Ter. it turns out that the spots on the face are quite a lot," muttered Liliana while turning her face away. He could not look at the man's face.
It turned out that he was very handsome, I even thought his face was ugly or deformed. Oh my.. did I just say? He handsome?
"So you're allergic to mushroom soup or what are you allergic to?" asked Liliana who was still turning her face away.
"I'm allergic to spicy. But are you angry?" max asked worriedly, seeing that the woman did not want to see him.
"Oh so spicy allergy, all right. I-I go first," Liliana suddenly got nervous, she got out of her seat and ran quickly leaving Max there by herself.
"Where are you going?" Max was astonished that Liliana ran away just leaving him there.
"Blackey, follow him! If he goes home, then escort him safely!" max told his beloved bird. Max held his head in a huff.
"Okay noble," replied Blackey obediently.
Blackey followed Liliana from behind as Max had instructed. While Max is with Eugene there, Max looks frustrated he thinks that Liliana is angry because she is allergic.
"Eugene, he must be mad at me, right? Damnit damnit! Because of this allergy, he's mad at me.." Max ruffled his hair.
"Not angry how? He turned his face away and left me here alone. Was he angry because he saw my face? I don't think that's possible, because my face is so handsome. Or is he mad because I lied about my face?" Max speculates that it's not about Liliana.
Eugene held back a laugh, he could not believe that Max, the crown prince, always looked cold and depressed while in the palace. Can give a confused expression, angry, free expression when being with Liliana. The girl managed to make Max riled up.
While waiting for the old Liliana to return, Max says that he wants to meet someone who follows Liliana. Eugene brings Max to the man who turns out to be an old grandmother with a wooden stick.
Max and Eugene are in an old house, where Eugene is holding the old woman. "Eugene, are you kidding me? Why'd you arrest the old lady who ran away from the nursing home?" max asked half-mocking the old woman. He smiled grinningly at the figure of the woman who was following Liliana.
"Your highness, this old lady is no ordinary woman," Eugene replied with a frowning forehead.
"Oh really? I think she looks weak and helpless like any old woman, "Max smiled sinisterly, she saw the old woman with the condition of her body tied to a rope and her mouth gagged with cloth.
"Hmph! Hmph!" The old woman thrashed, as if asking to be released. Her gray hair, wrinkled face, showed how old she was.
Max opened the cloth that had sealed the old woman's mouth. "What's wrong? Why are you following my woman?" ask Max.
"Your highness the crown prince, you are an adult apparently," the old woman said with a friendly smile.
Max and Eugene are stunned when the old woman recognizes Max as the crown prince. But no one in the city saw his face except the government officials who worked in the palace, because Max was always in the war and not many people knew his face. Especially this foreign old lady. "Who are you? Why do you know me?" Max immediately took the sword from Eugene's hand and pointed it at the old woman's neck.
"I'm just an ordinary fortune teller. My name is Brieta," replied Brieta introducing herself while bowing her head while saluting Max.
This old lady, she didn't even tremble or be afraid when I might slash her neck. Why does he recognize me?
"I know the noble from childhood, the late queen Rosabella often brought you to me as a child" Brieta explained with a smile.
"Mother? You know my mom?" Max started to lower his sword. He was curious how this foreign old woman could get to know him and the late Queen.
"The thread of fate is still tied between you, even now" Brieta said with a smile on her wrinkled face.
"Will destiny? Wh who? Between who?" max asked increasingly curious about what Brieta said.
"That fat lady and your noble one, you are still connected today. Although the woman's body is now different," murmured Brieta.
"Actually, what do you mean?" max asked, pointing the sword at Brieta's neck.
That fat lady in question was she the late Miss Adaire?
"True, a fat woman who's dead and met a noble one when you were a child. She was inside the red-haired woman's body" Brieta said.
Max was stunned to drop his sword, his face looked shocked after listening to Brieta's explanation. "There's another soul in the red-haired woman's body, she's the soul of the fat woman" she said.
No way, Miss Adaire is dead. She's inside Liliana's body? I felt like I was no stranger to her. They were the same person, Adaire and Liliana.
"Say! What else do you know about all this? Miss Adaire and Liliana!" Max said firmly with high curiosity.
While Max and Eugene are interrogating Brieta. Liliana returned to the place where she and Max had sat before, she carried the ointment and powder in her hands.
"Why isn't he here? Is he back in the palace? Or maybe something happened to her?" ask Liliana confused.
