Liliana and Maximilian's divorce was happy news for the royals who had previously hoped Liliana and Duke Geraldine's ouster as supreme power holders were now no longer. Because Liliana will soon be removed from her position.
"Dad, this good news should of course be celebrated!" Julia smiled happily.
"Truely my son, let's celebrate." Duke Norton agreed.
Meanwhile at the palace, Max is seen walking down the hallway to his room. He was intending to talk to Liliana.
The girl is seen with Daisy and Bianca in her room. It was also seen that some of the servants were cleaning up the items in the room.
Everyone saluted when the crown prince came to that room. Liliana also saluted him with a cold face.
"Greetings to your highness the crown prince" Liliana said politely.
Max saw some of Liliana's belongings scattered like they were going to be packed. Max looked at the woman with a frown. "What is this all about, crown princess?" ask Max to Liliana.
"I'm packing" Liliana replied briefly.
Didn't you see that I was packing?.
"Well!" Max hissed annoyed, his lips twisting a cynical smile.
Liliana is packing? Did he really want to leave this palace?
"Everyone, out!" Max said to the person in his room.
They all left after paying their respects to Liliana and Max. Liliana also saluted Max, and he stepped out of there.
"Who said you could go?" Max looked at Liliana's back who was behind him.
Liliana turned around, her face looking expressionless. He looked cold and unexciting as usual. Max's heart hurt to see the look on Liliana's face and gaze on him that looks like he's staring at a stranger.
"Are you calling me, your majesty?" Liliana was formal even without coming face to face with the man who would be the next king.
"You... What are you going to do with all that stuff? Where are you going?" max asked the woman with a troubled heart.
"Why does your majesty ask what you already know the answer to? Do I have to answer it?" liliana asked with a faint smile on her lips. He didn't dare look into Max's eyes, he was afraid that his heart would get hurt again.
"Lilly.."
"Miss Liliana Eissa Geraldine, that's my name. Please call me right," Liliana said as Max said.
Hold Liliana, you can't cry. You must be strong and not look weak.
Max's heart was stunned to get such treatment and speech from Liliana. He held onto Liliana's hand, looking at the woman deeply. "I know you're still upset about our sudden divorce. But you know why I did all that. Now that it's all over and fine, then we can get back together.. Lily I-"
Slowly, Liliana pulled her hand from the man's hand. The restless look united in sadness in Max's eyes as it stared at Liliana.
"Can't be together anymore, your majesty." Liliana looked at the man with a teary look.
"Lily I'm sorry, I know you were angry because of my attitude at the time. I broke off our relationship for a reason, I still love you and will always love you. We can get married again and-"
"Your honor, marriage is not something that can be broken up and put together easily. I'm really angry and sad about what you did to me, but after I thought about it we should have split up."
"Lily.no, don't say that." Max shook his head, he felt guilty towards Liliana.
"Don't tell me how? We're separated, just waiting for the official letter. Everyone knows all that, that this royal crown princess has been divorced by her husband!" Liliana cried heartache.
God, why do my tears keep coming out? I don't want to cry in front of him.
Liliana's hands wiped the tears that came down her face. When Max was about to wipe Liliana's tears, the girl dodged. "Don't touch my noble!"
"Liliana.I'll take care of everything. We'll be back together like before, please don't say goodbye again." Max asked as he held Liliana's hand.
"But we are separated and His Majesty has broken that bond. Forgive me, my majesty, I think it's better that we're not together anymore" Liliana said with a heavy heart.
"Lily, please.I'm sorry for having passed your heart. I'm sorry, if you want me to prostrate.I'll prostrate myself at your feet as long as you..."
Liliana interrupted Max's words, "Your majesty doesn't understand what I mean. You can easily break our relationship by yourself. Without asking me, even though I know you are doing this for good but this is not true. Am I really the woman you love? I doubt it is noble. It seems that all your words during this time are just nonsense!"
"No! Iloveyou! All my words are right!" It's Max's refutation that says he loves Liliana.
"No, you don't love me. If you love me, why don't you trust me? Why do you so easily say you don't love me anymore and cut off our relationship just like that when I refused the breakup! No. Noble. This is not love, love without trust is not love. You never loved me..."
The woman looked at Max disappointedly. Her tears were still flowing, she was holding her chest. All his emotions had exploded in front of the crown prince of the kingdom. He can no longer tolerate trust being a problem in their relationship.
What Liliana wanted was trust and togetherness. But Max decides everything alone, without discussing it with him.
"No Lily! I did that because I didn't want you to get hurt if anything happened to me! Not that I don't love you.." Max clenched his hands, his eyes glazed over at Liliana.
Lily misunderstood me so deeply. Why is everything like this?
"Our noble ones are still equally selfish, yet unable to establish a relationship together. The trust between us is also very thin, I think your decision to break our relationship is the right thing." Liliana tried to be firm in front of Max, even though her heart was sick and heavy.
This farewell is the best for us.
No, Lily. I don't want to let you go. Don'tgo.
Liliana turned her body, she stepped her feet out of the room. However, Max held onto Liliana's hand. He hugged the woman and kissed her lips.
"Hmhhh!!"
Liliana is shocked with both eyes widened, as she receives a forced kiss from Max. Max's hands locked onto the woman's body.
I'll let you in one last time.
The woman felt something wet on Max's face, she pushed the crown prince of Istvan kingdom. Then she saw Max crying, and,
"Lily.I beg you not to.." Max looked at Liliana with a helpless look.
"Please don't be like this, your majesty. You can't cry because of a woman, you're the next king." Liliana smiled bitterly.
"Lily.give me one more chance. We're not splitting up!" Max begged in tears and held the woman's hand.
"I'm sorry, my majesty" Liliana brushed off Max's hand and opened the door to the room.
Max catches up with Liliana out of the room. Duke Geraldine was already in front of him. "Son, are you ready?" duke Geraldine asked Liliana.
"Yes dad."
Max walks over to Liliana and Duke Geraldine. He held the woman's hand. "Lily, you can't go!"
"Your highness, my daughter has parted ways with you." Duke Geraldine dares to interfere with Max's remarks. He doesn't want his son to get hurt again.
"Duke Geraldine! Although Liliana has divorced me, she is still the crown princess of this land in black and white. So, the crown princess can't leave here."
Duke Geraldine was speechless, Liliana had parted ways with Max, but on the other hand it was true that Liliana was still the crown princess in black on white.
"Alright, you are indeed noble. Today I ask your majesty as a father whose daughter has just divorced her husband."
"Duke Geraldine.." - Wept Max at Duke Geraldine.
"I ask with humility, to this imperial sun that his majesty may allow me to bring my son back to the Geraldine residence." Duke Geraldine asks Max to let Liliana return to her residence.
"I won't allow it!" Max says firmly.
"Your Majesty, I beg you.." Duke Geraldine pleaded.
"Daisy, bring the crown princess back to her room!" Max tells Daisy who is standing not far from them.
Daisy approached Liliana in confusion. "Your Majesty, my father is begging you. Why you-"
"Guards! Listen to me, from now on the crown princess is not allowed to leave her palace without my permission she must not meet anyone!"
I'm sorry father-in-law, Liliana. I'm doing all this because I don't want you to leave.
Max issued his order as crown prince, the supreme ruler in the current Istvan kingdom. Indirectly the woman got the palace confinement.
"Your majesty! You can't do this to my daughter!" Duke Geraldine said firmly.
"Duke Geraldine! You too, are not allowed to meet the crown princess without my permission! If you break, then I will forcefully sentence you!" Max said firmly without hesitation.
"Dad.I'm fine. Daddy, come back" Liliana said in a calm voice.
"All right, dad's leaving. Your highness the crown prince, I will immediately provide the documents of the deposition of the crown princess as soon as possible.."
"Duke Geraldine!" Max snapped, he did not want to hear the slightest words about Liliana and their divorce.
Daisy and the palace guards drove Liliana back into her room. While duke Geraldine's still with Max out there.
"Your Majesty, I hope you don't forget. That you have divorced my daughter. You've reneged on all your promises to me and Liliana. I'll take care of everything immediately, I don't want my daughter to get hurt. Excuse me, your majesty." Duke Geraldine bowed her body while saluting the crown prince of Istvan kingdom.
Max was fixated, he was drowning in anger. If time could be repeated, he wanted to repeat it so that there would be no such problem.
"Adrian.." call Max to Adrian who's walking down the aisle.
"Yes, your honor." said the man with a smile.
"Your Majesty, I want to report important news!" Pierre ran up to Max with a breath of breath.
"Do I have to set up another ethics class for you? Why are you running like that like a man who doesn't know the rules?!" Max was angry, so said cold and cranky.
"Your highness, I would like to present a petition from some of the nobles who support the deposition of the crown princess and appoint a new crown princess!" Pierre handed over one of the documents he had brought to Max.
Max read the contents of the document, then he squeezed it. "Bad! Just now that my father was buried, they had already discussed this!!"
