Why Are You So Disinterested In Affection?
Chapter 20
"His Majesty the Emperor and Princess Liana entered the room"
The door of the room opened, revealing its contents, there was a long large table with dozens of seats, the occupants inside instantly turned their heads as soon as the guards announced who was present.
The princes stood up, as well as Alexia who had dressed up neatly in a white dress.
"Hail Father/His Majesty" they said in unison.
Aaron stared at the five, his four sons and a girl sitting on the left side of the table, while the right side was empty.
"You can sit back" without warning, Aaron held Liana, walked towards the seat at the end in the middle, and sat Liana on the right side of the first seat close to her seat.
The five people and some servants who were preparing food fell silent, wasn't that the Empress' seat?
About like that his dining table, and on the corner side of the end is usually occupied by guests from other kingdoms such as Kings or Emperors.
Aaron was aware of everyone's thoughts, but he ignored them, while Liana inwardly cursed out at Aaron.
"Start serving his dinner" Aaron told the waiter, the waiters regained consciousness, quickly preparing the meal on the table.
The food had been arranged, Aaron looked around for a while before starting to open his mouth.
"I welcome you to the Calvucura Empire, Princess Alexia of Cannavaro Kingdom, please enjoy this dinner as a welcome"
Alexia stood up, she bowed respectfully and thanked him.
"Thank you for the welcome, Your Majesty" Aaron flicked his hand once, and Alexia then sat back down.
Aaron started to lift his fork and his little knife, started to cut the steak and eat it.
Seeing that Aaron had started eating, everything at the dinner table started eating his food.
"Steak, steak and steak again, can't you just change it? Like meat satay or grilled chicken" Liana grumbled in her heart, even so she still ate it.
Noticing the dissatisfaction from Liana, Aaron raised next to his eyebrows.
"What's wrong?" asked Aaron briefly, who was able to make everyone stop eating.
Liana stared at Aaron for a moment, before shaking her head slowly.
"Tell me, is the food bad?" the servant who was standing in the corner of the room immediately broke out in cold sweat, afraid that the Princess would answer yes.
"Dad, not like that, Dad just continue eating, see they also follow stop eating see Daddy stop eating" replied Liana seemed carefree, but sounded a tinge in her sentence.
Aldrich, Kaelus and Kaelis stared intently at Liana, while Lorenzo quietly held a laugh in his mind.
Alexia raised next to her eyebrows, for some reason this Princess whom she had never seen was attractive, as attractive as Viona, the little wanderer she had met before.
Aaron who immediately understood what Liana said immediately returned to eating his food.
Liana returned to eating nonchalantly, and had finished that one steak plate, although she did not like it, she also did not like to waste food.
The meal ended in silence, until the dessert was brought out and served on the table.
The shining gaze of the twins and Lorenzo is seen, rarely caramel pudding as dessert served.
Liana looked at the caramel pudding in front of her and started using the spoon to see how soft the pudding in front of her was.
"I hope it's not too sweet" Liana scooped up the little pudding and ate it, a sweet taste that wasn't too overspread in her mouth.
"It's fitting" Liana enjoyed it with a childish face she unconsciously let out.
Alexia squealed in dismay at Liana, while Aaron did not continue to eat the pudding and chose to enjoy the face of Liana who was eating the pudding.
Lorenzo also enjoyed Liana's sweet face, the desire to protect Liana in him was getting bigger, and getting bigger.
Liana had just finished her pudding instantly came to a realization and gazed around, her gaze falling on Aaron who looked dreamy, as well as the others.
"What's this about? Dreaming together? I can come, right?" liana's mind sounded so ridiculous.
"Dad, why are you daydreaming? Was there a scream passing by or what?" liana's chirps woke everyone up.
Aaron was a little surprised to hear Liana knew a creature called Scream in this world.
Seeing Aaron's sweet treatment of Liana who incidentally as his daughter, his four sons shuddered in horror, their father's side that looks creepy.
"Oh! I saw him once two years ago! Dad let go, it hurts" Liana held Aaron's hand that pinched him.
Aaron squinted, his other hand starting to pinch Liana's other cheek as well.
"Let's tell the truth" as if forgetting about his other son and his guest, Aaron even raped Liana without knowing the place.
"Wuah! Liana won't! Dad's off!" Liana stared intently at Aaron, somehow lost where Liana's fear of the man in front of her who could have killed him right then and there.
Aaron released his pinch on Liana's cheeks, if Liana had been like this he would definitely not have been willing to answer.
"Alright, go back to the room, I have something to discuss with Princess Alexia and your first brother" Aaron then stood up.
Aldrich who did not know to point to himself and looked at his father as if asking “I too?”
Aaron nodded, Alexia and Aldrich then followed Aaron's footsteps from behind.
Remaining the twins, Lorenzo and Liana there, Liana approached Lorenzo who seemed to want to take one more pudding.
"Sister Enzo! Let's go for a walk" Liana held Lorenzo's hand and looked at him with her puppy's gaze.
Lorenzo who was intending to eat the pudding both sighed, he then stood up from his chair and clasped Liana's hand.
"Alright, come on" Lorenzo and Liana left from there, leaving the twins throwing wondering gazes at each other.
"When are they so close?" Kaelus looked at Kaelis without saying anything.
"If you ask me, who should I ask?" Kaelis rolled her eyes puffed.
This is similar to telepathy between twin brothers.
...
"Sir Enzo, may I ask you a question?" Liana looked up, Lorenzo lowered his head, he stared back at Liana.
"What does this sister want to ask?" Lorenzo then looked back on the road.
"What is life to my brother? Or how many of Enzo's brothers have been reincarnated?" Liana looked ahead.
Lorenzo immediately stopped and lowered his head, which was answered by Liana, Lorenzo said, looking, Liana's left eye had a faint sparkle, the same as the eyes of Rafaela, her late mother.
Lorenzo let out a breath once, he resumed his steps, until they arrived at the central castle garden.
The park is not as beautiful as the one that Aaron created specifically for Rafaela, but it is still worthy of being a place to spend time.
"Where should you start? Ah, listen to brother's story first, okay?" Lorenzo sat himself on a park bench, the garden was a little dim, no light crystals were installed.
Lorenzo knew a little about Liana's situation which might be the same as her, he wanted to share a little of her story, if he could get Liana to speak as well.
"This is the first life of my sister, this sounds a little sad, my sister was the only one who could remember, I stood in front of my sister and said whatever happened to always love you.
Well, you can't do that right when you're born, you die, you're transferred to the north castle by dad, you can't do anything, and then when you're 11, and you're 8 years old, it's our first meeting.
It's a little stifling, Father, and the other brothers don't love you, but, they love a child that the Holy Temple asks to support him" Lorenzo kept silent, anger bubbling through his chest.
Liana smiled, a sincere smile that she had not shown for a very long time, she stroked Lorenzo's arm.
Lorenzo stared at Liana, guilt always approaching him every time he remembered the events in his first life.
"Sister was very angry at that time, but brother was only a weak child and could only remain silent, until ..sister lost you" Lorenzo's shoulder trembled withstanding crying and anger.
Every time he remembered his father who had willingly swung his sword at Liana, anger and hatred always arose every time.
"Sister when it was really destroyed, brother .. hiks" one sobbing escaped on Lorenzo's lips, Liana smiled, she gently stroked Lorenzo's back.
"It's okay sister, Liana is fine now, look, can even still give a special sweet smile to sister" Liana comforted Lorenzo.
He knew full well how Lorenzo felt, after all, he had also seen someone dear die right in front of him and he could do nothing about it.
Ah, forget for a moment this sad story, from now on, Liana will spend more time with her dear brother Enzo.
