Flashbacks

'Anna?.why is that woman..?'

"I can't let Anna's case close without finding evidence for the 2nd prince" Ian replied a little coldly,

"But it's a little outrageous, you've got a fiancee with the highest rank after Her Majesty the Emperor, Her Majesty the Queen, and I'm the Crown Prince", the Crown Prince tried to remind Ian of Lily,

"I'm.ugh.that's why I can't forget Anna at the same time that I loved Lily..",

Tears came out of Lily's eyes, her eyes blankly knowing the fact Ian had immediately said, saying,

"L-Lily?.", uh?..",

'Stupid me.really....',

Episode 4*1**

"Hoi, you have to think about it one more time, how can you betray the sincere feelings of a woman like Lily?" The Crown Prince again reminded Ian, but Ian remained stubborn,

"I know that, but I can't avoid this fact Your Majesty" Ian held onto his chest, saying in seriousness the meaning of his words, saying,

"Breng's men are*sek..!" Zergan who was fed up with the attitude of Ian was about to approach her but was held back by Lily,

"Lily..?" Lily was speechless with a blank look and pulled Zergan's hand back to meet Vel and the others,

"Just imagine that nothing happened today.don't say anything to anyone.This is our secret.." Lily's voice sounded cold and piercing, the Crown Prince's conversation with Ian hurt him a lot, though,

"All right, whatever it is for you.." Zergan had to obey Lily's words, he did not want to add to the burden of Lily's mind being shaken, he was not willing to add to the burden,

'I wish you could be happy with the person you love in this world..'

"Hum??" the jewel ring Ian wore around his neck flickered,

"Lho's?since when did you use the ring as a necklace??" ask the Crown Prince in astonishment,

"I borrowed it from Yusto for a day in lily with me",

"Why is the ring blinking??",

"Yusto said this ring flashes if Lily is within a 100-meter radius of me, the brighter the light, the closer Lily is to me, somehow he could do something like that on this necklace",

"Why did your sister make it?",

"He respected Lily and Yesra while at the Grand Duchy Darvin, and he gave her a ring that she put a pair with Lily, but since Yesra got the idea so I don't have a problem",

"Unique as well", slowly the flashing light dimmed and finally died,

"Lho's?die" The Crown Prince took the ring from Ian and saw it fixed, fixed,

"You're disrespectful" Ian instantly took the ring back and put it in his pocket,

"Is Lily around here??" The Crown Prince begins to suspect that Lily is around them,

"Don't know, then I go back first, Lily's been waiting",

"Ah well, think well of my warning" Ian was about to return to the city center without thinking of the Crown Prince's words,

When passing through the exit gate of the park, Ian felt a magic that is not foreign although faint, faint,

'Witch??did someone just come in??' Ian tried to see that faint magic color with his abilities,

'Hum?green?? it doesn't seem foreign.who is the..!?!Lily?!' Ian immediately ran as fast as he could towards his horse and went to the city center,

/Lily and Zergan acquisition downtown,

"Sika..you're okay?..",

"It's okay, don't mind me.",

Zergan tried to invite Lily to talk but the results were nil.Lily's tone was very cold and flat, and there was no smile etched on her face.Since coming out of the park, Lily always bowed and did not show her face

"Zergan!!Lily!!" vel, Kel, and Bel walk towards the two of them after a long search for Ian,

"We didn't find him anywhere, we've asked the guards but they don't know either" Vel explained everything they did while searching for Ian,

"It's okay, you don't have to look for it anymore." Vel, Kel and Bel are surprised to hear Lily's cold, flat tone of voice, and feel hollow, empty,

"Lily, are you okay?..!?" they were added in surprise after Lily raised her face, who was not surprised by Lily's blank and cold gaze, not even Vel saw the light in Lily's eyes as usual,

"LILY!!" the voice of a man descending from his dark horse called out to Lily and ran towards her,

As she reached for Lily's hand, she was surprised to see Lily's gaze towards her, cold and piercing, the first time in Ian's life, she had never gotten such a gaze from anyone else,

"Lily, what's sobbing" "Don't touch me" Lily took her hand off Ian and walked towards his carriage,

"Vel,Kel, Bel, we're leaving now",

"E-eh but..what about the festival?..",

"I told you we... BACK NOW" Lily emphasized her words, not wanting Vel to be unable to refute, the three of them followed Lily and returned home to the mansion.

"I can't help you, because I'm just siding with Lily no matter what the decision is" Zergan commemorates Ian in his chanting tone as he walks past Ian to the chariot of the Holy Temple and leaves Ian there,

Ian was so sorry for his actions this time, he had already betrayed the woman who loved him sincerely, he felt so stupid.

"..." - ".Lily sat quietly while looking out the window, Vel sitting next to her did not know what to do,

'What should we do??'-Vel

'It looks like Lily got into a fight with Ian.so it was a shock.'-Bel.

'The thing that surprised me the most was his tone of speech.It could usually make me shiver.'-Kel.

'We cannot interfere in their affairs just like that.'-Bel.

'Really, we can't do anything this time.'-Kel.

'I'm worried about Lily.she must be tired'-Vel.

The three of them talked by telepathy because they did not want Lily to hear their talk about her.

"Emm, Lily.You okay?.." Vel tried to open his mouth to invite Lily to speak, but there was no response from her,

"Lilly?" Vel touched Lily's shoulder to resuscitate her from the daydream, but instead of answering, Lily's head fell towards Vel's shoulder not far from her,

"E-EHH!?!?" Vel was very surprised as soon as Lily dropped her head onto Vel's shoulder.It turns out Lily fell asleep from earlier, but,

"He's sleeping" Kel and Bel said at the same time,

"Damn.I thought he was gonna slash my neck and stab my heart.." Vel was already covered in cold sweat and goosebumps all over his body,

"You're overreacting, Lily isn't that cruel" - Bel

"But he fell asleep very fast, he seemed very tired" - Kelly

"Right, we can't bother him now" - Vel

Arriving at the mansion, Lucas immediately ran out of his study room to pick up Lily at the gate.But the sleeping Lily was picked up by Vel, because Lucas did not accept,he immediately snatched Lily from Vel and led her into the room,

"It seems like it's going to be hard being her sister-in-law, huh, Tristan??" Kel tries to tease Vel who is upset about Lucas, who is,

"HUH?!JUST RIGHT YOU ARE!I'M A GOD AND I CAN'T HAVE CHILDREN!" Vel dodged the temptation Kel with a face that was already flushed red,

"Who said?didn't you say it?" The bell followed Vel's tease just like Kel,

"stop bothering me!!"

/Lucas and Lily acquisition,

"Irvana",

"Yes Sir??",

"Get me the documents I need to work on here",

"Yes?why do you want to do it in the lady's room??",

"I have to take care of him, just do my orders",

"Good Sir", please",

Lucas waited for Irvan next to Lily who was sleeping soundly.Lucas looked at Lily with a thin smile (whose damage.).

"Sister.." Lily wakes up from her sleep and calls Lucas,

"Did I wake you??sorry", Lucas rubbed Lily's head slowly,

Lily felt her body very limp and tired, she tried to hold Lucas' hand slowly,

"Hum?Why?", why??",

"I was happy when my brother rubbed my head like this." Lily's voice sounded weak and in pain, Lucas was immediately anxious to hear her,

"Are you sick??your voice sounds weird",

"I'm fine, sister.I'm just too tired and happy" Lily can still smile thinly with a very pale face, a very pale face,

"I'll call the doctor, just wait here",

"No. I'll improve if brother is always by my side", Lily clasped Lucas' hand tightly,

"Lily..?" shortly afterwards Lily cried.Lucas was immediately surprised because Lily crying arrived, after he realized it turned out Lily's eyes were very dark, Lily,

"Lilly?!What's up?!",

"Sister.I don't want to get out of here..",

"What do you mean?.Why do you have to go?..",

"If I get married then I'll stay with Ian..",

"Of course so..what do you mean-!? you don't want to stay with him?..",

"Sister.I have 1 request..",

"Whatis that?just say.."

"I want to cancel the engagement with Ian..",

"Eh??.", uh??..",

Seriate...
