The Second Life Liliana
Chapter 57. Party (1)

...🍁🍁🍁...

Max arrived at the King's room, he was with the queen there. Max saluted the two formally, his cold face still the same.

Queen Freya looked at her stepson cynically and sharply. But he showed a cynical and cunning smile to Max, I don't know what he's planning this time.

What happened to the j*lang's face?

Max looked towards his stepmother with a look of disdain, as if the woman was a dirty woman. Yes to Max, Queen Freya was nothing more than the one who had taken her father from her mother until she had her mother die of illness when she was revealed to be Queen.

Until the end of her life, queen Rosabella loved her father's bastard king Alberto dearly. Even after marrying Freya her father also had another beautiful concubine and was still 15 years old, unfortunately the concubine died drowning in the lake located in the palace.

"What did His Majesty call me? The party's about to start" Max asked his father.

"It's a matter of choosing the crown prince, the father of the king's daughter of Duke Norton is suitable for you" King Alberto told his son.

Max was immediately flabbergasted to hear it, he glanced towards Freya and the woman smiled cunningly.

Why are you looking at me like that? This is just a little bit of retaliation from your arrogant attitude. Freya smiled happily.

This must be the woman j*l*ng.

"Ayahanda, I have said, that I will choose my own crown princess. Her father and Her Majesty don't have to bother to take care of the matter," Mac smiled.

"However. crown prince, do you think the matter of the crown princess of the future queen of this kingdom.. is a matter that can be decided by you alone? You should consider our opinion as well. We chose Duke Norton's daughter not without reason, it's because she deserves to be the crown prince of this country."

Worth it? That's because Duke Norton still has kinship ties with you. You want to tie me to a political marriage? Don't dream.

"I still disagree," he said firmly

"Crown silk!" sergeant King Alberto is upset.

"I will choose my own companion, Your Majesty the king and His Majesty trust me enough." Max held his chest with confidence.

"Then at this party, we'd like to see who the crown princess is. Can you do it crown prince?" queen Freya asks Max to show her the crown princess he chose.

"What the Queen said was true, surely the woman would be present at the party right? And he's the reason you want to throw this party, whoever the candidate is. I would be very happy if that woman was a pure noble of this kingdom," the King said with a smile.

Max's face was deathly pale, he already had the desire to marry Liliana and make her as the crown princess. However, if he showed it in front of everyone in this country, Max could not do that yet. Even he had yet to reveal his identity in front of Liliana.

I will see who Lily is, Queen Freya said in her heart.

Max only answered yes, after Max came out of the King's room. The King and Queen were seen whispering like they were planning something. Meanwhile, Max looks troubled by what will happen at the party. The unrest was also felt by Laura who would be proposed by the crown prince of the kingdom of Lostier.

"Sister? Why are you here?" laura asked her sister who was sitting on the balcony. "The party is about to start" he continued.

"You too, why are you here?" Max asks his sister, who is alone on the balcony of a lonely palace.

"Sister.. Can you help me?" Laura looked towards her sister.

"No way," Max immediately refused his sister.

"Sister, you don't even know what to help. You've already rejected it, cih!" Laura snorted annoyedly to the older brother who was always indifferent to her.

"If you can give me a solution, I'll consider helping you. You want to kill who and torture who, I'll help."

"I didn't ask you to do any of that. But, what kind of solution does she need?" laura asked while looking anxiously at the older sister.

"Liliana.he's gonna come to the party and he's gonna know everything. Do you think if you were him, would you be angry at me for lying to you?" ask Max seriously.

Why is this more thrilling than when I went to war to wipe out monsters in the North.

Laura thought for a moment, "Of course I'll be angry at first. But didn't you ever tell me that he was always cut up with you? If she's angry, it means she has feelings for her brother. It's just, that's the biggest question. How long will he be angry, will he accept brother's apology."

"So the point is he's gonna stay mad?"ask Max directly to the point.

"Babeh.." Max sighed, Liliana had already filled his mind. He imagined how angry the girl was, when he knew the truth. Moreover, Liliana once said about trust and honesty in a relationship.

Liliana just started to open her heart for me. Then I'll break it. God please save me from Liliana's anger.

"I've come up with a solution, so you have to help me now!"

"Well, tell me what you want?"

Laura whispered to her brother, for some reason their chatter that sounded like mutual symbiosis was. Laura felt close to Max.

"Is that all?" Max smiled, he underestimated what Laura was asking for.

"Can you brother?"

"Just calm down, you'll get what you want. But, this is not worth what you gave me. So, I'll ask you one more favor later."

"Okay brother, thank you in advance!" Laura smiled broadly.

...*****...

Inside the luxurious carriage, Liliana, Arsen and Duke Geraldine were heading to the palace. Liliana looked uneasy as it was her first time attending a party in the palace. He was also still afraid of the humiliation that had happened in the past when he came to the party.

At that time, everyone mocked him for his poor physique. Although she is already a beautiful woman, but her soul is still Adaire who is often hurt by her past.

"Miss Liliana, are you nervous?" tanya Arsen saw Liliana who was daritadi playing her finger.

"Yes, I'm nervous because it's my first time going to the palace."

"Don't worry, I'll accompany you. Trust yourself, for from now on you are part of the Geraldine family." Duke Geraldine holds Liliana's hand.

"Thank you, your majesty" Liliana said with a smile.

"Dad, didn't I tell you to call me dad,"

"Dad.." looked at the girl as she looked towards Liliana.

Duke Geraldine looks happy because Liliana wants to call herself dad. Shortly after they reached the palace, several nobles began to flock into the magnificent and spacious palace hall.

Most of those who came were women. Yes, they had come to see the crown prince's face because this was the first time that the crown prince of the kingdom had held a party.

Duke Geraldine requests that Arsen go see Adara in prison and see how things are going. Arsen had to obey his father-in-law, even though he wanted to dance with Liliana at a party.

Liliana was beautiful in the crowd by the few men who invited her to chat. While in awkwardness, Laura comes and helps Liliana.

"Greet us princesses" said several noble men, saluting Laura.

"You go! Don't bother my friend" Laura told the noble men.

The men left Liliana and Laura there. Near the place to get food and drinks.

"Lady princess? So Miss Eve is..." Liliana was stunned to see Laura, even more so when people paid their respects to Laura.

"Hahaha, finally got caught too. Miss Lily, now I will properly introduce myself.I am Laura Evania de Istvan, daughter of His Majesty King Alberto and queen Freya" Laura said with a smile.

Liliana is shocked to learn that Eve is a royal princess. His face was instantly deathly pale. Liliana was speechless.

Well, she was like this when she found out I was a princess. Especially if he knows about his brother? Is he gonna faint?

"Baginda Raja, your queen and your highness the crown prince have arrived!!" shouted a royal guard with his loud voice. Tell everyone there that the King, queen and crown prince of the kingdom have arrived at the palace hall.
