The Second Life Liliana
Chapter 75. Evil queen
...🍀🍀🍀...
Duke Geraldine clenched her hands, her eyes staring at Liliana and Max who were standing at an adjacent distance.
Did I not see wrong? Just now the crown prince and Liliana are going to kiss?
Max and Liliana realize Duke Geraldine's unfriendly gaze aimed at Max.
Where did this cold come from? Max felt that there was a cold around him that appeared out of nowhere. Could it be from Duke Geraldine's gaze on me?. Thought in the heart.
"I'm sorry my noble crown prince, but I have to take my daughter away. There's something we need to talk about!" duke Geraldine said firmly.
"Please" Max replied without speaking at length. He felt Duke Geraldine's unfavorable attitude towards him.
"Lily, let's go home. There's something I want to talk to you about at home." Said the middle-aged man while looking towards Liliana with red and puffy eyes.
"Okay dad," replied Liliana obediently.
Dad why? Why did you cry like you were crying?
"Your highness the crown prince, I beg you to resign." said Liliana politely and bowed half her body in front of the man.
"Yes, be careful, Mr. Duke, you too." said Max authoritatively.
"Thank you, your highness the crown prince." Duke Geraldine said formally as usual.
Duke Geraldine and Liliana leave the dungeon. They're on their way home to Geraldine's mansion. Meanwhile, Max sees a train carrying his lover and Duke Geraldine away from the palace.
"Blackey..."
Wush~~
Once summoned, Blackey instantly showed himself from within the sword.
"Yes, your honor." said the magic crow.
"Blackey, do you think Duke Geraldine likes me? Why do I feel that he..." Max shook his head. He did not finish his words.
"I'm sorry, your majesty. But I feel that Duke Geraldine doesn't like you," without a doubt Blackey expressed his opinion. "I caught no signal of a fierce father-in-law candidate" he added.
"Haahhh. My eyes aren't wrong, he doesn't like me. But why?" Max is confused.
"Isn't that obvious because you are the noble crown prince." Blackey replied sure.
"Why? Shouldn't she be happy if I had a relationship with her daughter?" max thought that every parent wanted her son to be the crown princess, to have a high status. A treasure that will never run out, he will be exalted. He will also be the ruler of the country.
"I'm sorry, your majesty. But I don't see Duke Geraldine wanting to be part of the royal family, haven't the nobles who kept their distance from the royal family been the Geraldine family?" blackey on Max.
Max immediately realized that Blackey's words were true. The reason Duke Geraldine disliked him was because he was part of a member of the royal family. Duke Geraldine, famous for being a loyal family to the Istvan kingdom, had always limited her close ties to the royal family.
Max wonders what makes Duke Geraldine unwilling for his family to become involved in the kingdom. So Max ordered Pierre to investigate.
That night Laura was having dinner with the king and queen in the royal dining room. It was there that Queen Freya began to discuss about the next crown princess candidate.
"Your highness the crown prince is finishing some paperwork in his office, Sire.." Gustaf replied in a polite voice.
"Good, he will soon be King in a few years. He had to learn to take care of the internal matters within the kingdom," King Alberto smiled as Max was already able to take care of the internal matters and not just about the external ones.
"By the way about the crown prince. He will soon be appointed as the King in his place, should he not immediately choose the candidate for the crown princess.. Your sire?"ask the Queen who intends to urge Max to immediately choose his crown princess.
Laura heard the chatter of her father and mother while eating her food elegantly.
I'd love to match my sister with Miss Julia. You won't succeed mom, because sister will definitely do everything she can to be with the people she loves.
"Yes that's right. Maximilian should have chosen the crown princess candidate immediately. I think..Daughter of Duke Geraldine also fits, what's her name Gustaf?" ask the King to Gustaf.
"Miss Liliana Eissa Geraldine, your majesty!" answer Gustaf quickly.
"But your honor, she's just an adopted daughter and not Duke Geraldine's real daughter. We don't even know its origin clearly. Bird news said that he had been in a brothel on Gardian island," explained the Queen who obtained information directly from her confidants.
Laura was shocked to hear that, she had never heard of news like this about Liliana. Laura stopped her eating.
Is it true that Miss Liliana ever entered a prostitute?
"really that? Then why did you choose her as the crown princess candidate if you knew all that, my Queen?" ask the King to be astonished.
"That's because I think your Majesty would like to include one of Duke Geraldine's daughters. Wasn't the Geraldine family from then until now very loyal to the royal family? I only do things to respect their families" the Queen explained. Though his intention to include Liliana in the election was to oppress him.
"Ohh.. Is that so? You are indeed the most understanding queen" said king Alberto, looking at the Queen with a dazzled look.
The queen smiled happily to get compliments from her husband. Then he requested that the King advance the time of the crown princess examination and shorten her time in one heart. The test will be conducted one heart after the execution of Arsen Frederick Wales.
In addition to discussing about the crown prince, the Queen also discussed the matter of Laura's soul mate. He still wanted to make the crown prince of the Lostier kingdom to become Laura's husband, because the man would soon be appointed King. Laura will also be Queen.
The envoy from the Lostier kingdom had already apologized as well as the affairs of the Istvan kingdom. The war that almost happened ended peacefully. Because crown prince Lostier wants to continue his proposal to Laura.
Laura was very unhappy with her mother's decision, as her heart was only for Eugene. He looks upset after the decision of his mother who still wants to marry herself to the prince of the other country. Sometimes Laura regretted having been born from the womb of the evil queen, she could not even have friends in the normal order.
As she was about to walk to her room, Laura passed Eugene and several other kstaria. Laura stopped at her place when she saw Eugene. But Eugene just bowed respectfully along with the other knights, then they walked past Laura.
"Wait!" Laura cried out firmly.
"What does your majesty call us?" ask a kstaria who was with Eugene, to Laura.
"No, I just called siren Eugene. You go, while Sir Eugene stays!" pinta Laura's firm.
The knights bowed respectfully and left Laura and Eugene there. Servant Laura was also told to leave first.
"My respect is yours"
"Stop! You come with me now, we need to talk!" Laura stared intently at Eugene. While Eugene did not dare to look at him.
