"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. He was busy as hell. But he started paying attention to his child.During this time, he had never felt worried leaving Lilian alone. But seeing her heartbreaking cry at that moment, his image about Lilian in his head was shattered into pieces. And Noland suddenly felt like a failure father.
From his wife story, Noland could understand a loneliness that Lilian felt.In the past, whether Noland was aware or not, he himself distanced himself from his two childrens. He wanted his two child to grow independently like other noble children. He and Agnelia were also taught the same thing. But he realized, this way of educating would only give birth to the same children and the cycle would repeat until the next generation.There was a time when he wanted his children to grow up like normal kids, not caring about politics for a while and Lilian's attitude that day, tearing down the perfect walls that surrounded him."Would you like to move to the Main Mansion?" Noland offered suddenly.
"Huh?""That's a good idea." Agnelia concurred. Lilian kissed Agnelia's cheek as soon as she entered the dining room."Thank you, but no, I think that unnecessary.""That ... it will be difficult for mother and father to commute." Agnelia said with disappointment. She had just improved their relations with her only daughter and now distance was their barrier.Agnelia must be on Noland's side and help him in social relations. She couldn't live in here that was so far from the capital.Lilian shook her head. "Tomorrow I have to go back to the academy. If you let me, I will find time to play at the main mansion and disturb you two as often as possible."Arthur frowned as he entered the dining room. His father was laughing and stroking Lilian's head."Ah ... Your Royal Highness ... please have a sit ... ""Please don't stand up, duke and duchess Lesnerg. Thank you for your hospitality. Forgive me for coming without notice. I will be sure to convey your kind hospitality to the king.""Please don't think about it." Noland replied humbly. "Ah ... Let me introduce you, this is my daughter, Lilian Gracia Lesnerg, Your Highness. I heard you two have met?""Ah yes ... I just found out that Lesnerg's youngest daughter is an interesting person."Lilian glanced at Michael, accidentally her gaze and Arthur's meet in the air. Lilian bit her lower lip.Should she continue with her 'bitch's sister' role'? In front of the Lesnerg couple?
"I was really sorry. I did not mean to upset my brother and offended his precious friend, His Highness. If they both objected to my presence, I could eat in my room." Lilian looked at Swarvis, implying that he should prepare separate meals.Lilian was not in the mood to make a small talk if Michael was still here. Noland and Agnelia looked surprised.
"Is that true, Arthur?"Michael glanced at Arthur, wondering what he was going to do. Arthur stared at Lilian, who refused to look at him."... No ... I think there was a misunderstanding ... Lilian didn't do anything to me, but she did indeed offend His Highness." Arthur glanced at Michael. Now it's all up to him. If indeed he was offended, nothing could be done and Duke Lesnerg had to formally apologize. But Michael smiled and waved."Well, let's forget it. I'm glad I met Lady Lilian." Behind his smile, Lilian was sure he thought the opposite."It's a relief if His Majesty feels that way." Lilian ended the topic and ate quietly.Throughout dinner, Lilian only focused on her father and mother. She did not involve Arthur or Michael to speak at all.
The Lesnerg couple who aware of Lilian's attitude were trying to finish dinner quickly, but Michael seemed to be dragging on discussing insignificant matters.He was a prince, so the Duke couple couldn't do anything as they wish.Although he kept talking to their parents, Lilian felt his gaze fixed on her.
Michael seemed to test Lilian's limits. He saw the girl twitching from earlier. Finally, Lilian could not take it anymore.
She stood up.
"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
"I can make you pass whatever the test is. How is it?"In Ha stole a glance at him, probing. "Not interest."Michael frowned. "Did you hear what I say?""I hear you as clear as the sun on sunny days. All right, let me hear what you want instead."She made herself last a while to listen to whatever the second prince wanted to say. Since she was in an unfavorable position, Lilian would love to consider all the possibilities, even if it comes from the prince she had always avoided though.Michael's smile widened. "I know you are smart, Milady. Like I said, I will secure a place for you in this division."In Ha folded her arms across her chest. She paid no attention to her politeness at all even before the royal prince. She basically did not come from here and she did not uphold the attitude that should be done by a nobleman in general.She was stressed enough to be in an unfamiliar life, why did she have to increase her stress with these
In Ha spent the night sitting absent-mindedly in bed. She made no progress at all. Today she met Arthur three times, and Arthur also threw her out three times.If she followed her heart, In Ha felt like slapping his cold face. To be honest, what was she trying so hard for? No awards would be received. She did not know whether this would be commensurate with the end result she wanted to achieve.Lilian avoided the path that caused her to coup her family. Shouldn't that have saved her from the written end? She wouldn't need to take Arthur's heart anymore, right? The more In Ha thought, the more her brain clogged. She laid her tired body and mind. She must stop thinking about it and face what in plain sight.While lying down, she found it complicated. She had to admit Arthur's handsome face bothered her. It would be a shame if she had to slap him on the cheek. Ah...-------Today, the second test day. From the first written
