The Second Life Liliana
Chapters 77. Max caught
The deg!
Liliana gasped in shock at the question from Duke Geraldine to her. The question is whether he is Adaire
Liliana's heart thumped at the question coming out of her father's mouth, let alone Geraldine's embrace feeling tight and tender.
"Dad, what did you say? Why do you ask me that?" asked Liliana who was still in Duke Geraldine's arms.
Why did you suddenly ask like this?
Duke Geraldine took his arms off the girl. She looked at Liliana with a teary look. "You.. My adaire? You're Adaire.."
"I'm not. I'm not.." Liliana turned her face away from Duke Geraldine as if unwilling to admit that she was Adaire.
"Adaire.forgive me, son, forgive me. You must not admit your father to this because of everything I ever did to you. I'm sorry that I've been unfair to you all this time.." Duke Geraldine held Liliana's hand in tears. She cried regretfully for not being able to be fair while she was still alive.
"What did dad say? I'm not Adaire, I'm Liliana." Liliana said as she held back her tears.
"Dad knows everything, your conversation and Adara's in jail..."
Liliana was choked to hear him, her eyes widening staring at Duke Geraldine. He already knows everything.
The girl could not deny it anymore, she wanted to talk but suddenly the seedlings were frozen. Only tears and body language spoke at the time.
BRUGH!
Duke Geraldine knelt in front of Liliana, holding her hand. "I'm sorry Adaire's father, I'm sorry..."
"Stop this dad, my apology only makes me sadder" Liliana said with trembling lips.
"Dad doesn't know how you can become Liliana and be in this body. But I'm happy because you've been by my side and looking after me. Sorry I'm not a good father to you. Sorry Adaire.."
Liliana helplessly held back her cries, she helped her father stand up. "Don't cry dad,"
Duke Geraldine hugged her son with a feeling. Although his son was in another body, but in his shadow he was hugging Adaire whose body had been buried.
After the confession, Duke Geraldine promised to treat Liliana aka Adaire with the best. However Liliana tells her father that she wants to leave her identity as Adaire, she wants to live with Liliana's identity.
"But you are my son. How can you live with this identity, son?" duke Geraldine asked in astonishment.
"Dad, if I lived by the identity of the dead Adaire. Is everyone gonna let me? Adaire's dead, Dad. I'm Liliana, now or later." Liliana told her father.
If everyone knew I was Adaire, they wouldn't believe me and they wouldn't be punishing Arsen. I can't let Arsen live quietly.
"Dad understands what you mean. All right, whoever you are, you're still my son" Duke Geraldine said, staring at his daughter. He still could not believe that he was still given a second chance by God to see Adaire even though his son was in another form.
"Dad, it's night. Father rest," Liliana said goodbye to her father as she bowed respectfully.
Since I also want to rest, I have to get up early to prepare myself to see the head of a jerk beheaded.
"Liliana, why are you leaving here? I'm supposed to get out of here, stay in this room. Don't you like your old room so much?" duke Geraldine asked as she looked at her daughter.
"This room?" Liliana looked at every corner of the room. He did like his old room, he missed the atmosphere in that room.
"This room is yours" Duke Geraldine said, handing the key to Liliana's hand.
Duke Geraldine left Liliana's room, but when she opened the door. The middle-aged man turned his head back towards Liliana.
"What's dad?"
Better talk tomorrow about the crown prince.
Liliana smiled at her father, asking him to go back to his room and rest as the day was getting late. But duke Geraldine went to Liliana's previous room, to see the state of the room.
As she was near the bathroom door, she heard the sound of someone knocking on Liliana's bedroom window.
Tok, tock, tock
"A fierce cat...A fierce cat.." whispered someone while tapping on Liliana's bedroom window. Who else would call Liliana that if not...
Duke Geraldine prepared with her sword, thinking that the one who entered Liliana's room was either an intruder or a thief.
How could a thief break into my residence? Are my knights stupid or are these people not ordinary people?
The imperial sword master walked sneaking towards the window, preparing to ambush someone outside his bedroom window.
But when Duke Geraldine made the window of the room, someone hugged her from behind.
"Why did you open the door so long, baby." Max's voice shrank when he felt something was wrong with the person he was hugging.
Wait, why is this body so big and the smell of sweat? This isn't my Lily!
Max opened his eyes wide, he hugged the middle-aged man instead of his lover. Suddenly he let go of his embrace, when Max's embrace came off.
Duke Geraldine immediately turned her body and pointed her sword at Max's neck.
"Who are you? How dare you go into the put-room"
His words came to a halt as he clearly saw who the man in front of him was. Duke Geraldine immediately dropped her sword and sat down on her knees before the crown prince.
"My honor is that of the crown prince" Duke Geraldine said with a face still shocked by the crown prince's presence in his daughter's room.
What is the crown prince doing here? Has she always appeared in Liliana's room all this time secretly? Their relationship must have been far away, right? How could I not know?
Max froze in his place, he didn't know what to say and what to do. He had already made a huge mistake in front of Duke Geraldine who had previously given him a minus.
Lothawat! I entered this room silently, I hugged her accidentally, I also called her daughter with a call of affection. What am I supposed to do? Maximilian let's think...
The man looked calm outside but panicked inside. The one word that was right for him right now was checkmate!
"Stand up, master Duke!" Said Max in a charismatic and authoritative voice.
Duke Geraldine obeyed the order, she immediately stood in front of the crown prince. Still with a head down position. Max looked awkward and nervous, he had no idea where he should start talking from.
"Mr Duke, I-I"
"Your Majesty apologize if I interrupt. Can I ask your highness a few questions first?" Duke Geraldine spoke with her head turned and her eyes sharp.
Max looks tense at Duke Geraldine's sharp question.
Smear me! Why am I pounding like this?
