The Second Life Liliana
Chapter 56. Guards and princesses
...🍁🍁🍁...
"I'm sorry, my noble daughter, did you call me?" eugene asked while bowing his head.
Laura looked at her ladyboy, "Annie, come back first."
"But your Majesty, Her Majesty-" Annie lowered her head.
"He won't know if you haven't said anything to my mother" Laura said. He asked Anie to leave.
"Alright your highness, I beg you to hurry back" Annie said obediently.
Annie walked over leaving Laura and Eugene in the hallway. Eugene still lowered his head in front of the woman.
"Bless your head Eugene," said Laura without calling Eugene with the prefix sir in front of her. Laura is close enough to call Eugene by his name directly.
"You can't call me like that noble one," Eugene said as he raised his head slightly. He saw Laura's sad face.
I have to how, I can't be like this to the princess.
"Eugene.. Please don't you do this to me? When everyone closest to me is away from me, I hope you're not!" Laura was crying, she looked sensitive like never before. It's because his mother always presses him.
"What do I look like, Your Majesty?" eugene asked politely and formally.
"You've been away from me lately, when we were very close. Now you don't even want to look at me" said Laura, saddened by Eugene's indifference to her.
Laura and Eugene were very close, they were close from childhood. Become a playmate, chat with familiar. Eugene was previously Laura's consort's kstaria, but the Queen asked him to be Max's kstaria. He felt that his son was too close to his guard knight.
Queen Freya even sent Eugene to the battlefield with Max for many years. And sure enough, as the two begin to mature and meet again after Eugene returns home from the war Laura and Eugene's feelings grow stronger, becoming more of a friend's.
"How dare I look into noble eyes, I am only a lowly subordinate," Eugene stared in another direction.
I can't look into your eyes looking at me like that princess. I fear my heart will weaken again.
Eugene's cold attitude hurt Laura's heart.
"Eugene, tell me! Did my mom do anything to you?" laura asked guessing that maybe Eugene's changed attitude towards her was because of Queen Freya.
"Hamba doesn't understand what the princess is talking about" Eugene said in a flat voice.
"This is what you're doing right now. It has to do with my mom, right?"
"Not your highness," replied Eugene briefly.
"Eugene, you know I like you! Why are you even acting like this? You think of me as a stranger,"
"Your Majesty, me and the princess are indeed strangers. And I don't like your majesty, I apologize for rejecting her noble feelings" Eugene lowered his head again, apologizing. "I'm just a bodyguard and your majesty is a princess, please take care of your noble dignity,"
Among us there is no way such a relationship would be possible, noble one. This feeling of mine is just a rumpuk who misses the moon. Inner Eugene was sad because he had to say words that were contrary to his heart.
"Well if you want to act like this! Then stand here and salute me!"
"What does noble mean?" Eugene choked on hearing Laura's firm voice.
"I, the daughter of this work, punish you for being disrespectful to me!" Laura was upset.
"When am I being disrespectful to your majesty?" asked Eugene.
"You don't remember, two days ago you hugged me! You touched the body of a royal princess, you broke the law!" Laura smiled cynically. With tears flowing.
Eugene why did you leave me too? I now have no one in this palace but you.
"You are right, your majesty, then I am ready to accept punishment" Eugene resignedly said.
"Stand here in a respectful position, before I receive your respect. Never sit or lean against a wall, stand here to death!" Shouted Laura upset her heart, because Eugene continued to reject her and act cold even though the man already knew how his heart was.
Eugene instantly stood firm, he placed his right hand in a respectful position at the corner of the forehead. Like a kstaria giving respect.
Laura left Eugene standing there.
Laura stopped her steps hearing Eugene's soft voice. "You don't have to care about me, you other bottom of your mouth in your heart!" Laura exclaimed in annoyance, without turning her head towards Eugene.
Eugene looked at the woman he loved from behind with an affectionate look and a dilemma.
"Why didn't the chairman just tell the boss's feelings to the princess?" adrian asked who suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Sir Adrian? Why are you here and what are you doing here?" eugene asked with widened eyes, the knight who should be guarding Liliana was in front of him.
"Your Majesty ordered me to come here. By the way, the chief likes the princess right?" Adrian looked at Eugene curiously.
"You'd better meet your highness soon," said Eugene, switching the conversation.
"It seems right. From your deep talk, it seems like the princess likes the chairman and the chairman likes him too." Adrian's Temptation on Eugene.
"Sir Adrian, hurry up and go!" Eugene exclaims annoyed with Adrian who continues to be curious about him.
Adrian laughed at Eugene's embarrassed face. "Oh yes chief, he said tomorrow either during the day of the feast.The son of the crown of the Lostier kingdom will come here. Do you know what the crown prince is here for?"
"Oh, I don't want to know." said Eugene cuek.
"Related you don't want to know? It has to do with the princess" Adrian said.
Eugene immediately put his eyes on Adrian with curiosity. Adrian smiled and then he whispered to the man who was still standing upright, "The royal crown prince will propose to Princess Laura at the party and Queen Freya has agreed to it first,"
Eugene gasped in shock at hearing that, the hand that had been respecting immediately drooped downwards. His heart throbbed pain at the unpleasant news.
"Hows it? Is the news good?" Adrian teases Eugene again.
Eugene directly hit his body in annoyance.

2 Days have passed..
It was the day of the palace feast. Feast to celebrate Max's success in fighting and quelling human trafficking. Liliana looked confused whether she should come to the palace or not because she was completely unfamiliar with the crown prince.
"Miss, why are you still not cleaning yourself? I've prepared a dress for the lady to go to the party,"
"Daisy.it looks like I'm not leaving,"
"Why miss? You've been invited by your highness the crown prince, of course you should come!" said Daisy astonished.
"I don't even know her" replied Liliana lazily. The girl thought of something else.
Why hasn't Eugene contacted me since our first date? Is he not serious about me? Ahhh. I shouldn't use my heart.
"But Miss Eve, writing a letter to miss. so that the lady will accompany her at the party," Daisy persuaded.
"Alright, pity him too. I have to accompany my only friend" Liliana said with a smile.
Daisy helps Liliana get ready to go to the party, Duke Geraldine will also come to the party while looking at the results of the examination of Adaire's body.
Meanwhile at the palace, Max was also prepared with his great clothes. His face was full of determination, mixed with fret.
Today he'll know who I really am. Lord, help me not to be disappointed in me.
Geck, tok, tok!
Someone knocked on his bedroom door, "Who?" ask Max about that guy.
"Your majesty, your Majesty the king wants to meet his majesty.."
"Tell him I'll be here soon" replied Max, putting on a serious face as if he were going to war.
Her heart was pounding waiting for the day she would tell the truth and where Liliana would know her true identity.
