Swarvis swiftly took the coat and hat that Arthur removed.
"Welcome home, Young Master."Arthur nodded. "Long time no see, Swarvis."Lilian only paid attention to their fleeting interactions. She almost half ran into Arthur. Lilian heard Anna's muffled screams and gasped from few other servants.In Ha - Lilian - was currently deciding to play her role as a bitch's little sister to seduce her brother, a path sometimes taken to get her way. The play she got most often."Brother! I really miss you!"Lilian's brother's body was frozen.His heart beat a little abysmally.
He must be very surprised.
Lilian smiled innocently and raised her face. Arthur's blue eyes looked at Lilian's blue eyes. His brown hair, which was similar to Lilian's was a little untidy. His jaw line was firm and his thin lips were slightly open.
'Holyy shiiiittt!!!'In Ha screamed silently. Lilian's brother was really her type. How come this gorgeous and such hottest man became her brother!Arthur's forehead frowned slightly. "Sister?""No. I am your lover that has been waiting for you in a long time.""Pftt ...."Lilian closed her mouth when she heard someone laughing. She cursed in her deepest heart. Forget for a moment that she was Lilian, and not In Ha."O, of course, sister! I'm Lilian! Have you forgotten your beautiful sister?"Lilian took a step back and held his hands nervously. She inhaled slowly then raised her face. Her smile fluttered again unknowingly. Lilian blinked and tried to remember what she had to do."Ah, welcome home, brother! How was your journey?"Arthur still looked at her.'Oow, please don't look at me like that, it makes me want to attack you!'Lilian cleared her throat. "Brother, why are you staring at me like that? Are you mesmerized by your beautiful sister?" Lilian showed a shy smile.Arthur's face was still dumbfounded."You didn't say your sister interesting like this."Someone laughed from behind Arthur.
Lilian tilted her body.A man with black hair as dark as the night, covered his lips with his fist. His silver eyes curled into a crescent moon and he held his stomach in laughter. Lilian remembers his description.
"I don't know myself." Arthur turned to him and back to the girl stuck to his body. "Lilian, he ...""...the second prince, Michael Ludtford ..." Lilian murmured involuntarily.Michael's laughter vanished instantly. His eyes glared at Lilian."How do you know?" Arthur asked her."Huh?""I'm sure this is the first time you have met."Arthur narrowed his eyes."Uh ... that ... I ... did a little research. At least I have to know who is around my brother, isn't that right? Ahaha ..." Lilian laughed to cover her nervousness. "By the way, you must be tired. Let's take a break over tea."Lilian ignored Michael and took Arthur's arm.
"Swarvis, did you prepare what I said earlier?"Swarvis who was shocked tried to change his expression."Yes, Miss. I will prepare another one for His Majesty.""Sorry to bother." Michael said apologetic."No, Your Highness. It's an honor to welcome His Majesty to the Duke's house. We apologize in advance if our services are somehow lacking.""Relax. Today I came as Arthur's friend." Michael's smile returned to his face."Come in." Arthur invited Michael to follow him."Thank you."Lilian felt the gaze from behind her back. She had to minimize her interactions with Michael so that he wouldn't love her. If Michael didn't love her then he won't end up killing himself.But ... there was something strange. Shouldn't she and Michael meet for the first time at the tea party next week? What was he doing here?
"Erm ... Lilian, can you let go my arm?"
"Why?" Lilian asked innocently."It's ... a little uncomfortable ... the prince is here." Arthur felt awkward.Lilian laughed to herself.Of course. Lilian who he knew never held his hand let alone clinging to his arm like this. Even though she was considered jovial, the original Lilian was truly acting a ladylike.
"You're really cute, brother. Are you ashamed that your sister is sticking like this? I haven't seen you in so long. I almost forgot how you looked. Am I not allowed to?" Lilian raised her eyes. Her lips pursed."No ... that is ... at least ... sit there." Arthur pointed to the chair beside him.Michael had already sat in a one place chair.
Lilian was furiously forced to stay away while Michael's eyes could not look away from her.
Finally Lilian took it out on that man.
"Sorry if I'm being impolite, why are you staring at me all the time, Your Highness?"Arthur hurriedly put down the cup he was about to lift. "Lilian! Sorry, Mike. My sister usually isn't like this.""... It's okay. I'm actually really entertained. It's rare to see your cold face confused from earlier." Michael chuckled and sipped his tea."Lilian, apologize quickly.""Why? The one who rude is him. This is our first meeting and he has behaved that way." Lilian glared her eyes. "Don't tell me ... did you fall in love at first sight with me?""LILIAN!!!"Michael's laugh boomed in the living room. Swarvis even looked worried at Lilian. He prayed that the second prince would not be offended. If so, then the Lesnerg family will not go unpunished."Your sister is really funny." Michael wiped the tears that came out of the corner of his eye. "Sorry to disappoint your imagination, but no, I'm just surprised that Arthur never talked about you." Michael could hear her murmuring 'Good, if not..."Michael looked at her curiously. His laugh that was stopped came again when he heard Lilian's next words."Why does he have to tell his precious sister to just anyone.""Lilian!" Arthur squeezed his temple. His cold blue eyes looked at Lilian. "Go back to your room."'Whaaaat?'Lilian looked at Arthur in horror. Did she choose the wrong step? The final glimpse of Lilian's life crossed her mind again."Now!"Lilian bit her lips. Looks like she has to find another way.She stood up, smoothed her dress and lifted both sides of her dress with half bent. Unwillingly forced to leave from there.
"Forgive my immature behavior, brother. Because I lived alone for too long, I felt excessive happiness when you returned. I don't know if longing for you weighs on you. And I apologize sincerely to Your Highness ..."Lilian closed her jaw tightly.
"... because of my rude attitude towards your unannounced arrival from His Majesty. Now, I will return to my room and reflect on myself. Please continue your conversation and don't mind me."Lilian withdrew dramatically and left the two people in the living room, speechless."...""...""... aren't you a bit too much?" Michael glanced at Arthur.Arthur just kept quiet and sipped his tea again.
Lilian tapped her finger again. She paced back and forth. What should be done next? In the original script, after they greet each other, there was no continuity from their interaction. Because when the next day arrive, Lilian would return to her academy and at night before, she didn't even go to dinner to welcome Arthur's return. Should she be present now? Lilian racked her brain. "Anna?" Anna, who was silent, followed her. "Yes, Miss." "Where is mother?" "Duchess has just returned from the Marquess Quizt residence and is currently in conversation with the Young Master and His Majesty." Lilian sat down, looked up and closed her eyes. She was sure that Arthur must be confirming her behavior with their mother. Some time before Arthur's return, a letter the servant sent to both Lesnerg couples arrived and they both returned to the Rose Mansion. During this time, both of them lived in the Main Mansion in the
"All right, I will go to my room and rest a little before dinner arrives." Agnelia kissed Lilian's cheek and went out.She herself was amazed when the last time she kissed her little princess.For the first time, Agnelia did it awkwardly. However, seeing Lilian's normal reaction, made Agnelia quickly adjust herself. She was her mother after all. As long as her child not rejecting her or looking embarrassed and awkward, Agnelia would be happy to improve their relationshipSwarvis reported that dinner was ready.Lilian half-heartedly went to the dining room.When she saw his father, Noland. Lilian kissed his cheek.Even though Noland slightly surprised, he smiled and patted her arm."Are you feeling better?""Yes a bit. It would be better if Father was often at home."Noland did not stay longer after Lilian had fallen asleep at that time.
"Your Majesty ... forgive my impoliteness, I'll go back to my room first."Michael put down his fork."Am I wasting your precious time?" Michael indirectly asked whether her time was more valuable than his presence as a prince."Oh ... please don't get me wrong and put blame on my parents later." Lilian bowed. "Tomorrow, I must return to the academy to continue my final year of education. I do not want to be late and hear the words of those who vilify the next generation of Lesnarg, especially those who are under the second prince's faction. I do not want to give others a chance to speak ill of prince just because I wake up late."Noland cleared his throat, awkwardly. Lilian's words were true. But it was precisely the cause, if that happens, it is because the second prince himself. He waited for Michael to say something."Yes, you're right ... it's also late ...""I'm not saying it's too late to ta
"Uhm ..."In Ha glanced at Bella who had been watching her. Her brow furrowed. She instinctively became alert."What?""I don't know ... I think there's something different about you ..."In Ha gasped. Not expecting one of this Lilian friends to have sharp intuition. She smiled and waved her hand."Maybe it's just your feeling. We haven't seen each other in two months. Sometimes, people change when they don't meet for a long time."Bella nodded, her eyes still looking for something, but the next second she shrugged."Right, we haven't seen each other in a long time. It's not just you who changed, she did too." Bella referred to Winni, who had been looking down and blushed hard because her new fiancee getting closer."Good morning, Lady Lilian and Lady Bella.""Good morning, Sir Neil." Only Bella answered her greetings, Lilian just nodded."Ohh, I also hope to h
In Ha was reflecting her fool self behind the auditorium building. She hit her head.How could she be so stupid?She knew what would happen when the performance took place. She should not have taken part in this event.No.Maybe if she went along and changed her preparations, perhaps she could avoid the incoming tragedy?"I saw your acting. Very cool."In Ha's steps stopped. Someone suddenly appeared before her and his shiny black hair fluttered in the wind. Both of his thumbs raised and pointed at her. The silver eyes looked at her curiously."Where did you learn to act like that?" He approached Lilian.Of all people, why did this person see her chaos instead?"Are you following me, Your Highness?"Michael leaned forward to see Lilian's face more clearly beside him. "Hey, where are you going?""As far as possible
Arthur did not return her smile or answer. He just stare at her blue eyes.In Ha was getting restless and annoyed.'What did you see?Why is this person so difficult to deal with?'This bastard was rude. Not responding when someone spoke was definitey not give her a respect. If this man in his world, she would beat and teach him a lesson for his ill-mannered and insolently to someone older than him.Mathematically, her age as In Ha was six years older than Arthur. So compared to her as a mature woman, the person next to her was just a cheeky brat and she wouldn't have hesitated to kick his shin. But, for no particular reason, his taller figure made her felt inferior."Ah ... well ... it seems like you're busy." In Ha was tired keeping her smile. Her cheeks hurt. And her patiently started to crumble. Before she lost all of her swearing, she decided to take a step back. "Let's have a tea together when your business is over. Just let me know l
Before Arthur opened his mouth, Michael cut in first."I can use my status too to choose her, right? Do you still not allow it, Lord Arthur?"Their room suddenly turned quiet. The temperature dropped and there was a cold aura emanating from the second prince. Logan pulled his hand down and sat upright. Marianne slowly lowered her hands too. There was a time when the cheerful Michael turned into someone else.Only those closest to him know about it. Compared to the Crown Prince, the Second Prince was far more vicious. When he smiles, he could stab his opponent without a single burden. But when his smile disappeared, he turned even more vicious. He would rather tear the person in front of him and let him die slowly.He would use his sword like a kitchen knife to skin a fish without bleeding.They said that is the hidden talent of the Second Prince. This made the faction under the Crown Prince wary. Besides being an expert in using his sword, Michael
Among the seniors who looked in amazement, many scornful gazes were directed at her too.What that Lady doing? This was clearly a competition for men, not a dolls playground.They whispered among themselves.In Ha's ears clearly heard it.Getting the stares and attention of the entire room even though she was sitting in the back is nothing new. She ignored them and focused on Arthur's expression before shifting her eyes to the person beside Arthur.Only Michael seemed extremely happy. He snapped his fingers at Arthur."See?! without needing to persuade her, she went of her own choice." Michael could not help whispering in Arthur's ear. At least, Lilian passed the first condition he need.Arthur only saw a glimpse to the hall, indeed, Lilian was the only woman left behind. Arthur silently questioned his vision, but this was real! Lilian did choose his division. He had mixed feelings that couldn't be explained.Logan, returning t
