The Second Life Liliana
Chapter 89. No news yet?
...🍁🍁🍁...
Just now Max heard the happy news in the form of hope about Liliana who could survive, then one second later Brietta said the thing that made him sad again.
"Hey old lady! Are you playing me?" max asked as he looked at the old woman named Brietta sharply.
"Your highness, how could I mess around about the safety of the lady. We just pray that the high priest can be found soon" Brietta told Max.
"I've got everyone looking for him. I hope he can be found soon,"
"Yes, believe me, your majesty, Miss Liliana will definitely return. He was confused to find a way home. Then...what shall we do to Her Majesty?" Ask Brietta to Max.
"Of course he'll get his reward, I'll make him die a life-long ditch." Max looks angry when he thinks of his stepmother.
After that Brietta returned to her hiding place with the lady who was still unconscious. Laura was sitting alone by the walls of her palace. She cried sadly, remembering the dead Liliana.
He had just made a good-natured first friend and now he had to lose that good friend. While Laura was crying, someone thrust a handkerchief at her.
"Eugene.." Laura looked at the man with teary eyes.
"Your majesty, you are beautiful but your beauty diminishes when you cry." Eugene said as he calmed Laura. She wanted to wipe Laura's tears with both hands, but she was afraid that anyone would see.
Laura braved herself hugging Eugene and leaned in her arms. "Your Majesty, someone will see.." Eugene looked here and there, afraid that someone might be passing by.
"No one will come here, I told them to leave because I want to be alone." Laura told Eugene, she was still crying.
"I'll leave it alone this time, your majesty," Eugene said as he stroked Laura's hair gently.
"Eugene... Why does Miss Liliana have to go like this? Though I just found a good friend, why did he leave so soon? Hix.. My brother must be as sad as I am right now. Why Eugene? Why did everyone who was nice to me leave me?"
How can I comfort Laura's daughter? I'm not good at burying people who are sad. But I should be able to because this is Laura's daughter.
"Who said that? The proof is that I'm still on his noble side.." Eugene smiles.
"But you once left me" said Laura, looking up at Eugene.
Instead of leaving you, I was forced to leave you because of the Queen. But I can't tell you.
"Yes it happened, but I'm back for you. Because I love your majesty,"
"Eugene, thank you.I know this is hard for you. But you keep fighting for me" Laura hugged Eugene affectionately.
"Because you are also fighting for my noble one," Eugene replied as he raised Laura to his lap. He hugged the girl from behind.
"Ehm..Eugene it feels like something's wrong and I'm not comfortable,"
"What's your highness?"
"Can we both be you don't call me noble. We've become lovers, it's uncomfortable that you keep calling me noble.." Laura complained about how Eugene had been treating her all this time.
We've even slept together, but Eugene still calls me princess.
"Then what should I call?" ask Eugene.
"Just call my name, Laura." Laura replied with a smile.
"Sa-me, how dare I do that," Eugene replied stammeringly. Eugene hesitates to call Laura's name because Laura's status is much higher than that of her ordinary folk. If he is caught calling the royal family by name, then the hanging punishment he will receive.
"So you don't want to? Just calling my name, when we're alone!" Laura spoke with pursed lips and wrinkled forehead. Laura begged her boyfriend to call her name.
"It's just the two of us, right?" Eugene asked his girlfriend.
Laura nodded, "Dad,"
The deg!
Laura's heart flowered as Eugene called out his name not to his usual noble or princess. He was so happy because his name was called by the man he loved.
"Isn't this so weird? His Majesty even kept quiet. Holy hooch! My mouth is this..."
The cup!
Laura kissed Eugene's lips quickly.
"Your mouth is so beautiful Eugene, I can't even believe that mouth will say my name. I've always dreamed of it, but eventually it's all coming true.I heard it from your lips." Laura stroked her lover's cheek lovingly, she hugged him again.
"Laura, I love you.."
"I'm also Eugene, love you so much.."
Without the two of them realizing there was a man who saw Eugene and Laura cuddle there.
I have to report this to Her Majesty.
...****...
The next day, there was no word on the whereabouts of the high priest. The man seemed to disappear into the earth, with no news. Kstaria shadow the King to the imperial kstaria until deployed to look for him.
There was nothing that could be done at this moment other than waiting, Liliana was still unconscious. Max also had to take care of his country and the King ordered him to go to Lostier immediately.
"Crown prince, you can't ignore your duty like this!" The king exclaimed to his heir.
"I am not neglecting duty. I just postpone it, I won't leave before he regains consciousness!"
Max's reaction to Liliana made the King realize that Max had different feelings for the girl, "Maximilian, are you like this because you're with Duke Geraldine's daughter..."
"Yeahanda, I can't hide it anymore. I've fallen in love with duke Geraldine's daughter" Max said earnestly.
"All right, I understand. Once he's awake, I'll make him yours." Said the King while sighing.
"Why do you so easily agree with this relationship? Do you want to use this for political gain?" Max asked his father.
"Not at all. I just wanted to apologize and hope what I did could make up for my mistake."
"Error?" Max was flabbergasted to hear it, he did not understand what it meant to make amends.
Who are you guilty of and what does it mean to make amends?
"That's it, if there's nothing you want to talk about anymore. Get out of here!" The king asked his son to leave.
"Alright, I beg you to resign from your father." said Max while acting formally to his father.
Max gets his father's approval to postpone his trip to the kingdom of Lostier until the high priest comes and Liliana is better.
Two days later, that morning Max plans to go to Liliana's room. Already two hearts passed Max missed without sleep and eating, his face was very pale. He was just busy looking for the high priestess and looking after Liliana.
While walking alone in the hallway of the palace, he faintly saw Liliana standing in front of him.
"Your highness," Liliana smiled as she waved her hand at Max.
Max stopped his steps and froze there.
