The girl felt a soft and burly hand embrace her. Wide shoulders and field chest felt on his body. Calling her name while apologizing in her soft voice. Who else if not Maximilian?
"Your highness.." - Liliana, holding the hand that hugged her.
"I'm sorry Lily, I can't get Adara to get the death penalty..."
"Why do you apologize for that? Why apologize to me?" asked Liliana pretending not to know.
It feels so strange, why did he apologize to me for Adara. Does he know I'm the real Adaire?
"Because, Adara is the one who has eliminated your best friend Adaire. I'm sorry I haven't been able to get him the punishment he deserves" she said.
I can't say that I knew you were Adaire. I'll wait for you until you admit it to me. Until you trust me enough to be honest.
Liliana released a hand that coiled around her body. Max moved his position to the front of Liliana, he looked at the girl with eyes full of guilt.
He wanted to help Liliana finish everything, so that the girl would not have to dirty her hands for revenge. Even if the girl asks for the world, Max will bring the world for her. The world she wants, if Liliana asks to be happy. Max will grant his request as much as possible. As long as Liliana asks him.
"Yes I am sad because my best friend was unjustly killed by his own sister. But, your majesty does not need to apologize or feel guilty to me," Liliana said as she wiped her tears.
"But you're crying, it's because you're sad about what happened? Can't you live happily without taking revenge?"
"Why are you talking like this? You don't know what I.. What does Miss Adaire feel? You don't know it's your majesty!" Liliana's statement meant that she would not stop taking revenge.
"I understand! I understand Adaire's heartache, she was cheated on by her husband, murdered by her sister, I know how unfair life is to her! But, if you were Adaire. would you continue to hold this grudge for life? The grudge was like a fire that would continue to strike inexhaustible, if not extinguished!" max tries to change Liliana's thoughts about revenge in her heart.
"I-I can't let go of her noble, this grudge must be completed.nona Adaire will not be calm if you haven't retaliated against those who have harmed her," Liliana said emotionally. His heart has not made peace with the fire of vengeance, moreover Adara and Arsen still have not received the appropriate reward.
Max let out a long sigh, "Well, if you don't want to let go of this grudge. Then give me your burden, let me help you and Miss Adaire get revenge, so you-"
Liliana interrupted furiously,"Who are you? Why is your highness meddling in my affairs?"
"Because I love you, that's my business too! And I don't want you to get hurt! Please, don't do anything dangerous" Max said, pleading with Liliana not to do anything dangerous.
I don't know exactly how you're going at the moment, but I know that you're very angry and when you're angry you're going to do something out of bounds..
Max's hand held the pretty hand of Liliana who was trembling with anger. "Please let me get involved, make me your accomplice and hang on to me once in a while" Max's lips gently kissed Liliana's back. He hopes to calm the woman down.
"Then..What does your majesty want to help me?" ask Liliana at the end.
Max choked he looked up at Liliana, looking at her deeply. Did that woman trust him?
"I'll help you" Max replied with a smile on his lips.
"Even though I have not accepted my noble feelings? What is your honor willing to use? I'm sorry, but I'm not a good woman."
"I'm not a good guy either. You take it easy and trust me, I'll help you and Miss Adaire get justice.." Max stroked Liliana's cheeks gently.
"Thank you, your majesty" Liliana replied with a smile.
"So, calm down and don't mind much. Or you'll get sick," Max said of the attention.
After that talk, Max rarely met Liliana. He is busy with various affairs, but he keeps his promise to punish Arsen and Adara. Both were in prison and Duke did not defend Arsen or Adara.
Duke Geraldine was already heartbroken by what her son and daughter-in-law had done to her deceased firstborn. Things have started to improve at Geraldine's house, Liliana trying to comfort Duke Geraldine well.
Duke Geraldine returned to work as usual in Istvan's royal government building. While Liliana was always alone inside that grand and luxurious mansion, she spent her time practicing swordsmanship, horse riding and other martial arts-related matters.
"Why did he never come back after that? He didn't even send a letter. Does she win if she wants to get engaged to miss Julia?" Liliana began to think differently because there was nothing about Max.
"Let's calm, your majesty must be busy. His Majesty will not be engaged to the Miss of the Norton family," said Adrian who suddenly appeared behind Liliana.
"Pruttt.. Ohoks...Ohok..." Liliana spouted the tea she had just drank. "Sir Adrian where did you come from?" asked Liliana while rubbing her lips wet.
"I-I'm sorry, miss. But I'm always around, lady, because I'm here" Adrian said, apologizing to Liliana for startling him.
"It's okay. Sir Adrian, you must not speak anything of what I just said to the crown prince. Can't!" liliana's words forbade the man from reporting Liliana's words to Max.
"Alright lady," Adrian replied with a smile.
Shortly thereafter, Daisy came to Liliana with an invitation from the palace for her non-uncle who rarely joined the social gathering.
"You sure this is from the palace?" ask Liliana unsure.
Is this from Maximilian?
"Right lady, the chancellor of Her Majesty the joint that delivered her," Daisy explained.
"Remissary Queen?" Liliana was flabbergasted to hear the Queen's words.
Adrian who was standing behind Liliana was also shocked to hear that. She was tense, because she knew the Queen must not have good intentions for Liliana.
If this is true of the Queen, why did she send me a letter? Did he and I know each other? Liliana thought hard.
He saw there was a palace stamp and a stamp from the Queen's palace. Then he took the letter to his room and read the letter alone.
"WHAT? The crown princess's election invitation?!" Pekik Liliana gaped at the contents of the letter in its entirety.
...*****...
The Queen's palace..
"Kyle, has he received the letter?" queen Freya asked as she sipped tea in her cup.
"It's the Queen's majesty" Kyle replied as he bowed his body.
"Good, after this will be a lot of interesting entertainment in the palace. To a selfless child, I will show you where it is," queen Freya smiled cynically.
I'll show you that the palace isn't as easy as he thinks.
