Lily was speechless.He looked at her two brothers fixedly.Thin smile followed by Lily's clear laughter.
"Aahaha!You guys are so adorable."
Lucas and Ken were flinched.They exchanged glances and smiled.They finally laughed together.
In another corner, Ian is still busy thinking about the events of Lucas and Ken who saw Lily's body after bathing (although covered in a towel).
'They see..This can't happen.never again!'

Episode 91's
3 Days after that, Yusto arrived in the capital.He was 1 day late because there was a pending problem and solved it first.
Asher seemed very happy with the arrival of Yusto.Busto can be said to educate Asher as a strong and authoritative child, while Lucas educated him as a smart and wise child, as well,plus Yesra educated Asher as a friendly and polite child.Sometimes, Asher's ignorant nature comes from his father who was also ignorant to Felix.
"Uncle, why doesn't uncle look like mother?"
"My color is more similar to that of your late grandmother, whereas Yesra is similar to that of your late grandfather."
"If you're twins?"
"Nobody would have thought we were twins.."
At that time, it just so happened that there was Zergan there who was hitchhiking to eat.The reason is not surprising anymore for all of them.
"Lucas, where's Lily?" ask Zergan.
"He was going with Ian to the palace for the welcoming of the Crown Princess" Lucas replied.
"I want his chicken porridge.abajbsksk." murmured Zergan looked limp.
'Porridge.chicken??.' thought Lucas confused.
/In the meantime, in the Palace.
"Baginda..event this time is very important to unite both parties, how can you even laze like this?"
"Lily's right, Baginda.Is there something stuck in your heart?"
"The two of you.. WHY 5 COUNTRIES?!!CAN'T IT JUST BE 1 OR 2?!!"
Felix's workspace was completely filled with stacked papers in preparation for the welcome of the Crown Princess candidate.It was really stressful to think of all this.
"Then what do you want??This event is also to add friendship with other countries." said Lily began to get tired.
Looking at the exhausted-looking Lily, Ian stared intently at Felix.
"Baginda..you want to do it, right?" ian asked under pressure.
"T-Of course!!I-I'll do it with all my energy and my heart!" answer Felix.
"really?!Then we will prepare things for the palace decoration first!" lily is back excited.
"Well, if you need anything, tell me to the chief lady of the imperial court." said Felix.
"All right!!Excuse us, your Majesty!Go Ian!!"
"Yes." Yeah."
Ian's face relaxed again.He went to follow Lily from behind.The Emperor's room was now silent, Felix could breathe a sigh of relief at last.
'I think I will become a stone as Master Saint Zergan told me..!' thought Felix.
.
Lily walked in the hallway of the palace looked so gleeful.Ian who saw Lily excited like that, wanted to disturb her and make her pout.
"Why are you that happy?" ask Ian.
"of course!He finally handed over the palace decorations and palace preparations that would be worn by the would-be crown princesses.Wouldn't it be nice to see the Emperor getting married soon?" lily replied so excitedly.
"Lumayan.But, will you be excited like this also at our wedding?" asked Ian smiling sly.
Lily's face slowly turned red.Ian's words embarrassed her.
"I-it's..DON'T KNOW AH!!THINK FOR YOURSELF!!"
Lily walked faster to avoid Ian's gaze.He was very embarrassed to show his boiled face because of Ian's question.
The words that Lily never thought of in her life before meeting Ian her expression changed in wonder given the word would be implemented for Felix after getting the crown princess.
'Married.yes?'
Preparations went smoothly.At least there are 6 palaces that will be used for the place of the candidates for the crown princess.Before, Lily asked Felix why the total palace used there are 6 while the candidate for the crown princess there are only 5, Lily asked Felix why the total palace used there is 6 while the candidate for the crown princess is only 5,but Felix didn't answer that and instead got busy with his own thoughts.
'Is...Does your son like someone?!Lothawat!' thought Lily.
"What are you thinking?"
"Eh, Ian.On that, I think there are 1 woman who will enter the list of candidates for the crown princess other than what His Majesty said.Maybe she is the one whom he likes?"
Ian was silent for a moment.His expression changed when he got his answer.Thin smile was engraved on his face.
"What?" ask Lily astonished.
"It seems I know who that person is." replied Ian.
"Who?"
"You know too."
Lily was silent.She turned to think who it was.Someone flashed in her head.
"ACH!Don't-don't..!"
"It's true."
"Yesra?!"
/Yesra Acquisition.
"Hatchim!"
Yesra sneezed hard enough.Her ears also reddened.Contact 4 people staring at him.
"Mother, what's wrong??" ask Asher.
"Your ears are red, do you have a fever?" ask Yusto.
"I'm always ready here" said Zergan.
"Egh.it's okay.It seems like someone is talking about me." replied Yesra.
"Oh, it's possible that His Majesty or brother and Lily" Yusto said.
"Eh?Why is His Majesty the Emperor too?" ask Lucas.
"Son Lucas doesn't know?Yesra entered as a cadidate of the Crown Princess.It is certain that they talked about it." Yusto replied innocently.
"WHATAAA?!!!"
/back to Ian and Lily's side.
"You don't know? He broke this news to me and Yusto some time ago.Well, it's possible that now Grand Duke Everon, Yesra and Asher already know." said Ian.
"W-why Yesra?!" ask Lily.
"This past year, Baginda and Yesra have often been together when he felt bad in the palace.Asher color is still very small, he will not remember that he and Yesra also have a 'special relationship'." replied Ian.
"Oh!So that's the reason big brother has been at the Palace this past year?Can this be called an affair?.."
"Lily, don't say anything that makes people misunderstand that..Yesra still lives with me.."
"I'm kidding, Ian."
Not long after, someone approached Ian and Lily who were finishing the 2nd palace renovation.
"Looks like you're in trouble, Grand Duke and the Marchioness."
"Geez, Your Majesty the Queen Mother."
The queen mother came to meet them.His beautiful face did not change at all.Ian and Lily immediately greeted him.
"May the gods bless you always, Your Majesty" they said.
"You too.Are you tired?It must have taken a long time to finish this." said the queen mother.
"This is nothing compared to the happiness we welcome future queen candidates.Baginda must also look forward to this" said Ian.
"It's true, Your Highness, we have to do everything possible for the candidates for the crown princess." continued Lily.
"I used to wish the Marchioness to be queen, but seeing my niece so fall in love, I couldn't bear to." said the queen mother so honestly.
Ian was shocked and only found out about this, he immediately looked at Lily.Lily turned her face away from Ian because she did not want to be blamed.
"You'll get punished later" said Ian, smiling faintly.
"T-WILL NOT!!" reply Lily.
"Commander!"
A soldier from Ian's army came to them.He was Ian's deputy, Sir Alphonse.
"What's wrong?"
"You have to come to the training ground, there's a little problem.."
"That's the matter?"
"true."
Ian was silent.Newly this time he got word his troops had a problem.
"Go away, Ian.Marchioness is with me." said the queen mother.
"Thank you, Your Honor.I'm saying no retreat.Lily don't go home before I get back." Ian kissed Lily on the forehead and left.
"B-good.."
"Jeez~ young man."
"Your Majesty don't say that.."
The dark sky is a sign of rain in the afternoon.Lily waited for Ian in the palace courtyard since a while ago.
'Married..I didn't think of that for 17 years of living as 'Sika Amanda' just yet. The situation at home is so torturous, as if my house is not 'home' to me.Perhaps before the mother died the atmosphere was so comfortable, slowly it disappeared when the father married the woman..Even on campus, I was bullied every day just because of the conditions at home.Bullyan it began to decrease since I met Zergan, how lucky I was to meet him.He was a popular man, he was a popular man,handsome face and a tall and stocky body, maybe I was just his chest?(?) may be less.Multitalenta in the academic and non-academic field.The eldest son of a prominent conglomerate.He always smiled at me sincerely, and it is inconceivable he was my best friend then and now.'
Without Lily knowing, the rain had already fallen soaked the ground and herself gently.She was enjoying the rain.
'I hope in this life, I can be happy with the people who care about me.and the people I love.'
"You can get sick."
Lily looked up and covered her body with her suit and carried an umbrella.
(fyi: rain umbrella developed Zergan during the rainy season in the 2nd year of Lily's departure to the Gradina region.)
"Ian."
"Hm?"
Lily smiled widely.His heart was calm as soon as she saw Ian's face before her now.
"I'm curious about the meaning behind your sweet smile, are you taking care of yourself with sugar?" ian said with a smile.
"It's an umbrella Zergan developed 5 years ago, isn't it?Why the blue?" ask Lily.
"I always thought of you as soon as I saw a light blue color similar to your eyes.I felt so guilty every day for those 4 years.I should not do that" replied Ian began to look sad.
"It's okay, I've forgiven you" Lily said.
Lily stood up and turned to Ian.
"Let's go home" said Ian.
"Where?" lily smiled thinly.
"Certainly to the house." replied Ian.
'really..This place is my home for so long as I live.'
Seriate...
