The Second Life Liliana
Chapter 64. Duke Geraldine wrathful

...🍀🍀🍀...

After going through the interrogation process for approximately 24 hours, that afternoon Arsen came out of the palace interrogation room with other kstarians who used to participate in the honeymoon.

Arsen still looked calm and he could keep his composure. Arsen's eyes are red and swollen. He hoped that the tears he had shed all night were not in vain.

Arsen and Nicholas prepare to return to Duke Geraldine's residence. While Duke Geraldine is still at the palace, she plans to meet Adara.

"Master Count" Nicholas told Arsen.

"Good Nicholas, now the charges all point to him." Arsen smiled faintly.

"Then what about Miss Adara?"

"Well how else? Of course she had to make sacrifices for her husband" Arsen replied casually.

"But your highness, Miss Adara is your wife. How can you-" Nicholas feel sorry for Adara.

SRETT!

Arsen throws his dagger at Nicholas, quickly dodging Nicholas. But his cheek was grabbed by the dagger and bled. Nicholas was shocked and only realized how dangerous Arsen was.

"You're talking too much! You better help me think, how do I get rid of my father-in-law. If I become a duke, I can help Adara get a little out of her sentence" Arsen said with piercing eyes.

Nicholas was silent with his hands clenched, he was sad because his nona was still in prison.

🍁🍁 Duke Geraldine meets Adara in prison. The girl looked lethargic and shabby, she was not excited, her face was also very pale.

"D-dad?" Adara was caught seeing her father there. He immediately stood up and looked at Duke Geraldine.

"I'm sorry you've just come." Duke Geraldine looks sad to see the condition of his son who is injured and looks sad.

"Don't apologize, you're busy putting me in jail." Sindir Adara to his father with sarcasm.

"Adara, I think you've come to your senses after you've been in here. But it turns out you're still like this. Adara.. Answer this question honestly, did you really kill your sister?"

"D-dad!" Pekik Adara's.

It turned out that what Arsen said was true, because the body that had been found was. Everything's going like this.

"Adara answered! Is it true you did that?" duke Geraldine asked firmly.

All the evidence has gone to Adara, I have to get the answer.

"If I said no, would you still believe me?" ask Adara. "I was able to get here because I didn't believe me. So what I'm saying is, you never believed me either!"

"Adara, just answer! Right or not, if you killed your brother?" duke Geraldine snapped at his son. He was very curious about the confirmation answer from his son.

If you say you didn't do it, then dad will defend you. So please, I hope that's not true. Duke Geraldine wished in his heart.

Adara took a deep breath and then she exhaled, "True, I did it." Adara admitted everything, she did not dare to look into the eyes of the father.

Duke Geraldine was in shock, her face instantly deathly pale. His legs were limp, his body stiffened. His hand held the prison iron. "You.. do you really do that, Adara?"

"True, I poisoned and stabbed brother. Then I pushed her into the open ocean," Adara replied with a bitter smile.

Duke Geraldine took a breath, she still did not believe that her son would kill his other son vilely. "Why are you doing this, Adara?" duke Geraldine asked in a soft voice.

I never expected a question like this to come out of my lips. It's too cruel, Adaire. My other child, the one I love?

"Because I love her husband and I want everything she has to be mine! I want your love to be mine!" Shouted Adara without regret.

"How can you do this cruel thing? How could? Adara you've been..." Duke Geraldine held onto his chest, she sobbed. Can't believe that his daughter would kill people out of envy.

"It's good that Miss Adara Brisia Geraldine has admitted everything, so it's time to determine the appropriate punishment" said Max, who was suddenly there with Eugene and his other bodyguards.

I'll give her the death penalty straight away, but I have to ask you Lily first.

Surprised to see the palace guards and Max there, she feels that the end of her life is near. Adara's only hope, now, is that Arsen can save her.

"Dad, have the heart for me!" Adara cried disappointed at the father who did not defend her at all.

All this time I've been unfair to Adaire, I've lost Adaire, so I can't lose Adara either.

"Your highness the crown prince, I beg you"

Uwekk..

Why is my head so dizzy?

Suddenly Adara vomited, her body collapsed. He fell unconscious. Duke Geraldine panicked to see her son like that, despite Adara's evil actions. But Adara is still his son, which father does not love his son.

"Aqara! Aadara!" duke Geraldine shouted in panic.

"Guard! Open the cell!" Max told the prison guards.

"Oh, your honor!" the prison warden replied.

Moments later after the prison was opened, Adara was taken by Duke Geraldine to the palace's treatment site. There the unconscious Adara was examined by a physician.

The doctor checked his pulse. Duke Geraldine and Max are there. "How did it go? My daughter's okay, isn't she?" duke Geraldine asked as she held Adara's hand, she looked anxious to see the girl lying unconscious with her pale face.

"Miss Adara's fine, she's just..."

"What only?" ask Max to the doctor.

Duke Geraldine looked at the physician anxiously. "What only? My son is okay, right?"

"Only Miss Adara is pregnant" replied the doctor explaining.

Duke Geraldine and Max were stunned to hear the physician's explanation. Max immediately pointed his sword at the healer's neck, "Aren't you lying? Swear on your head! Is she really pregnant? Aren't you misdiagnosed?" max asked, threatening the physician.

"I mean it, your majesty. Miss Adara is really pregnant, from which I checked her gestational age - probably more than 3 months" explained the healer with a trembling body.

Max put his sword back. He laughed cynically. "3 months huh? Doesn't that mean Miss Adaire was alive and in marriage with the count of Wales?"

They've inflicted such deep wounds on you, Adaire, you deserve to be angry you deserve a grudge. But. damn! Pregnant women cannot be put to death.

Duke Geraldine is stunned to learn the fact that her son may have been pregnant before marrying Arsen and that Arsen may have been having an affair with Adara while she was still married to Adaire.

Arsen and Adara, you really are...

The middle-aged man was crying, his eyes looking angry. He clenched his hands with anxiety. Max also looks upset, he who wants to impose the death penalty for Adara will not be able to do it. Because Adara is pregnant. Women who are pregnant cannot be put to death, it is the rule of law in the kingdom.

...****...

Adara's pregnancy news reached Arsen's ears quickly. Between joy and confusion, she received the news. News that he will be a father.

Upon receiving the news, Duke Geraldine came in wrath and carried his sword. He attacked Arsen blindly as if he had lost his mind.

"You dick! Goddamn bum!"

"Dad! What did dad do? Why did you attack me like this?" Arsen continued to dodge Duke Geraldine's attacks. He didn't know what happened to his father-in-law.

All the guards there tried to break them. Yet Duke Geraldine continued to attack Arsen even to the point of expelling his aura sword energy. The light from the sword was as if it was going to kill Arsen.

Arsen's eyes widened, he could not match the greatest sword master in the empire. And that man is Duke Geraldine.

"D-dad!" Arsen was forced to take his sword to fend off the attack from his father-in-law. He tried not to resist, his face and hands were already injured by the sword attack.

Does this old man want to kill me?

"You're the one who destroyed my two daughters! The future of my two daughters is ruined because of you, I will kill you! I swear I'll kill you!" Shouted Duke Geraldine wrathfully.

"Dad.be calm! Speak carefully, what is this?" asked Arsen, not understanding.

Liliana who was reading a book, heard the commotion and she came out of the library. He saw his father attacking Arsen.

"Your Highness Duke, please calm down!" jackson said he was trying to break Duke Geraldine's anger.

"Dad.." - Liliana saw her father.

Yet Duke Geraldine paid no heed to everyone who called out to her. He continued to beat Arsen, until Arsen began to fight. But the power of the Arsenes remains incomparable to that of Duke Geraldine.

"You betrayed Adaire, and then you cheated on Adara! Now that Adara is pregnant, she is over 3 months old! Have you gone crazy? You jerk! Bastard!"

Liliana was stunned to hear Duke Geraldine's words that Adara was pregnant. Although still in shock, Liliana took her sword and broke both of them. He was in their midst. Until the two did not dare to attack each other.

"Stop! Please STOP!" shout Liliana.

The battle that almost spilled blood finally stopped because of Liliana.

Arsen and Duke Geraldine were separated by bodyguards there. Liliana also tried to appease Duke Geraldine who was still in anger. "I can't believe that my son would kill my other son and him..."

"Dad, calm down, calm down first,"

Don't be like this, I don't know how to calm you down because my own heart is hurting.

"Adara will be free from severe punishment because she is pregnant. If Adaire was here, would she forgive him? Hicks.." Duke Geraldine sobbed, she was in a dilemma.

Liliana could do nothing, she left Duke Geraldine alone in her room. Liliana is also sad because she just knew other facts, that in addition to cheating Adara and Arsen have sex until they have children. That means Adara and Arsen have a relationship for a long time.

"Oh my God, how should I.."

A pair of burly hands hugged her from behind, "Lily, I'm sorry.."
