The Second Life Liliana
Chapter 67. From now on you're my lover

The girl was in the arms of Max's burly body, confused by the ambiguous words the man had spoken to her.

That, "I love you, really, but I don't want to limit your freedom either"

"Your highness.."

"I want you to be mine but I don't want you to live with a status you don't want" she said, hugging Liliana.

Liliana choked, her heart pounding. He finally caught the intention of the sad speech of the crown prince of the Istvan kingdom to him. She wants to be with Liliana, but she doesn't want Liliana to be the crown princess and confined to the palace. She knew that Liliana would not agree to being the first lady.

I was born the crown prince of this land and I cannot give up my destiny.

The girl pushed the burly body that was clutching her. "Your Majesty is right, I do not want to be a crown princess. I don't want to live in a palace, I want love like a normal person. And I. haven't completely trusted you yet" Liliana said her heart honestly to Max.

His rejection of the position of crown princess and his desire to forge love with ordinary people. Max looks worried, he is sad to hear Liliana's words.

"Lily, don't you love me?" max asked as he stroked the beautiful girl's cheeks gently.

"Then do you love me?" Liliana asked back.

Max sighed, "Isn't that obvious, I've always shown it to you. I often say love to you. Do you love me? You never answered me.."

"If I say love to your majesty, can you guarantee that one day you will still love me?" ask Liliana hoping.

"You still don't believe my feelings, what am I doing not enough to make you sure?" Max held Liliana's hands together. "I love you Liliana, you're the only woman I've ever loved now and forever,"

"All right, I admit I do love you. But after that what? Are we going to be in touch? Get engaged and get married? Can we be like that? You liken the heavens and I to only land on earth, we will not be able to unite the noble.."

Eventually Liliana is honest with her feelings for Max, regardless of Max's status as crown prince. He loves Max like a woman feels for a man.

Max smiled happily because the feelings between him and Liliana had been blurred on by each other. The problem is the status between the two of them.

"We love each other, of course we can be together!"

"In what way? Do I have to be the crown princess? I can't do any of that, I won't agree. You can't give up your position for a woman like me either! So, let's forget this momentary feeling and never-"

Max covered the talking mouth with his mouth. Max kisses Liliana's red pomegranate lips gently.

"Your highness..." Liliana is shocked to find that her seedlings have been stolen by Max.

"Never say anything that will make you regret later, I know you won't be able to stay away from me. You're gonna love me?" Max smiled as he stroked the beautiful woman's long hair.

"You're always confident" Liliana said, staring at Max.

"What matters is that everything is clear, you love me and I love you. We just live this relationship yes, do not think about the future first." said Max while asking them to establish a relationship first.

Yeah right, at least if Lily and I have an official relationship as lovers. I can definitely manage him a little.

"Your highness.." - Liliana was confused.

Max placed his index finger on Liliana's seedlings, "Sshh. If you refuse me, I will punish you!"

"Punish me? In what way?" ask Liliana.

Max kissed Liliana's cheek quickly. Both of the girls eyes widened as a result of the sudden attack from Max. "Your majesty why do you always attack me like this!"

"Hehe, which punishment do you want? On the cheeks, forehead, nose, lips, or..."

Hup!

Liliana smothered the man's lecherous mouth whose mind had spread everywhere. "Stop your saying! How could the crown prince say and act so pervertedly?"

"In front of you I want to be an ordinary man named Maximilian and not the crown prince. So, I'll act as I am and there's nothing in front of you. And I'm not a pervert! I'm just crazy because I've fallen too deep for your love" Max smiled as he stared at the woman in front of him.

The woman's face flushed red, she blushed in embarrassment with Max's flutter. His heart was made to thump for the umpteenth time. He turned his face and eyes away from Max who was staring at him lovingly.

"Liliana's.."

Maybe this is a good time to give it.

"W-what?"

"Close your eyes for a second, please,"

Max tells her to close her eyes, but Liliana opens her eyes wide. Max smiled and asked Liliana to close her eyes for a moment. The girl also reminded Max not to mess with her.

"I will do it quickly, you must also go to the palace immediately."

"Do it quickly? Did what?" Liliana looked at Max confused and full of questions.

"Close your eyes first, I promise I won't mess around." Max asked in a soft voice.

Liliana said, she closed her eyes. A few seconds later, Max asks Liliana to open her eyes again. "Open up,"

"I thought it would be perfect for you!" Max stared at Liliana's beautiful neck, there was a heart-shaped necklace with a red color. The necklace looked shiny and beautiful to the eyes. "It matches the color of your hair and your brave character" Max said, praising his girlfriend.

"What's this?" Liliana was amazed by the red necklace she was wearing.

"My sign of love for you, I always wanted to give it to you. And today we're officially lovers, so I give it to you now.." Max looks happy after Liliana wears her gift necklace.

"Love? I haven't agreed to be your lover,"

"You've already expressed love, so we agreed to be in a lover's relationship. Lily, for a while we've been in this relationship! Don't mind our status, I want everything to flow as it is. I want you to think of me as Maximilian your lover, not the crown prince.."

Seeing the man pleading with her, Liliana could not say no. He nodded in agreement and accepted Max's advice. "All right, we're going through this relationship first. Think of it as an experiment, if destiny and circumstances are indeed on our side. If otherwise, then we should accept to break up!" liliana said firmly. He does not want to be in a relationship without commitment.

Oh my God, is my decision right?

Max smiled gently, "Alright my lover," he replied casually.

Haha.you are already in my grasp. How can you run? Want to break up with me? You can't even dream, though,

Max said goodbye after his feelings were conveyed and Liliana's feelings had also been heard. "Remember one thing in the palace, never fight the queen. If she or any other noble girl messes with you, you should report to me!"

"No problem, you don't have to worry. I'm looking forward to what they're going to do to me, it's been a long time since Adara and the count of Wales went to prison. You don't have to worry, I can fight them!"

"I'm not doubting your abilities, it's just.. The queen is too cunning for you to fight. Beware my beloved" said Max with a sweet smile on his lips and a teasing wink.

Liliana smiled looking at Max who was acting flirtatious in front of her. "All right, your majesty,"

"Next time call me baby, I want to hear it." Max ran away and just disappeared from there.

Liliana smiled as she held the necklace Max gave her. He seems happy because he has already expressed his feelings for Max. He had already decided to take the difficult path along with the Istvan kingdom's crown prince.

He knew the winding road ahead of him, but he no longer wanted to lose the person who truly loved him. People who love him as he is, he also deserves to be happy loved and loved. His life is not about revenge.

"Miss, it's time to go to the palace!" daisy said from behind the door.

"All right, wait a minute!" Liliana hurriedly tidied up her hair again and tied it up.

...*****...

A few minutes later, Liliana and Daisy arrive at the Queen's palace. The western palace, the royal palace. He got off the train, along with the other noble lady.

The candidates for the crown princess amounted to 5 people, one of whom was Liliana and Julia who came from the Duke's family.3 others, came from the family of Marques, Count and Earl. Only Liliana and Julia were from families whose status was close to that of the imperial family.

All the noble ladies there looked at Liliana cynically for the first time. They felt Liliana was very beautiful and that was why she was chosen to be the crown princess.

They had already given hostile gazes to each other and wanted to compete to become the crown princess. While Liliana and Julia look cute. Julia with her haughty face, she felt confident that she would win at this election of the crown princess and looked down on the others.

But, he looked at Liliana differently. "Hello, good morning, miss." greet Julia politely to Liliana.

Liliana was astonished as to why Julia was being polite to her, while the other lady was hostile towards her.

"Good morning miss," said Liliana politely as well.

"I'm from the Duke Norton family, I'm Julia Amoria Norton. And you?" Julia introduced herself to Liliana.

"I'm Liliana Eissa Geraldine," Liliana introduced herself politely.

"From Geraldine's family?" julia asked with a friendly smile.

Why did his voice suddenly harden?

Liliana was astonished because suddenly Julia raised her voice.

The other three noble ladies heard Julia's words about the Geraldine family. They approached Liliana and Julia.

"Oh.. So miss is the adopted child of the Geraldine family?" ask a curly-haired lady with a sarcastic tone of voice.

"Only adopted children, why can be a candidate for the crown princess?" muttered a noble lady quipped.

"Of course because of the connection. Duke Geraldine is close to the royal family!" said a woman while staring cynically at Liliana.

They dared to speak openly in front of Liliana without fear and hesitation, because they felt Liliana's status was far below theirs. Liliana was known to be only an adopted child and came from the lower classes.

Hohoho, I love this drama. All right, if you guys want to play, I'll keep you guys playing. Father, what you say your enemy is not the one who runs towards you with his sword and stabs you in the front, but your enemy is the one who is near you and hides the dagger behind their body.. then when that time comes, he'll stab you in the back.

Liliana smiled and looked towards Julia. The woman also looked at him while smiling kindly.

So she's Liliana? As the Queen said, she is beautiful. But he's not as smart and educated as I am. Want to compete for the crown prince with me? You're not even worthy!
