The Second Life Liliana
Chapters 14. Istvan Kingdom
Adara was jealous, hurt and upset at Liliana who blatantly waved the war flag to her. Adara was still in her place, she wanted to see Liliana's attitude towards Arsen. He did not want to be indignant blindly in front of everyone in the mansion, especially in front of Duke Geraldine, his father.
"Miss Lily, are you sure you can do it yourself?" asked Arsen while getting off the horse and letting Liliana ride her own horse.
Liliana nodded in agreement, she was confident that she could do it. "I'm sure I can do it, Mr. Count has taught me, already" Liliana replied with a confident smile.
Yeah, I should be able to do it. So that I can use this ability of mine to kill you, Arsen.
"All right, don't be afraid. Keep your gaze focused forward, calm yourself and blend in with this horse. I will accompany you from behind" Arsen said in a soft voice.
Adaire used to be fooled by your gentleness this is Arsen, but I'm Liliana! I will no longer be deceived into the false face and tenderness you show, you are nothing more than a murderer, a deceiver, a ruthless traitor.
"Thank you Count," Liliana put a sweet smile on her face, teasing the married man.
"You can call me Arsen, if you don't have anyone" Arsen said.
"What if Miss Adara gets angry with me? Previously she would have been angry at me," Liliana put on a pitiful and sad face.
"I'm sorry my wife, she scolded and even beat you. I've talked to him, that we've become family and that's why I'm being nice to you" Arsen said kindly to Liliana.
In my father-in-law's heart there was only that fat Adaire. He doesn't seem to love Adara the way he loves that ugly fat guy. And now that he loves Liliana, then I must be close to him too to take my father-in-law, the title of Duke must be transferred to me. The only son-in-law in the Geraldine family.
"Even though I feel bad," Liliana pouted.
"If he does something to you, just tell me. I'm going to scold my wife, let's get on the horse and run!" Arsenic on Liliana.
"Yes, alright," Liliana replied with a smile.
Adaire/Liliana the person is fast to learn, once to see and once to learn he will quickly remember. Riding alone he can do easily according to instructions from Arsen.
"Good, you did well!" Arsen praised Liliana.
"Thank you, Count,"
"Eits.. Arsen alone." replied Arsen as Liliana.
"Yes Arsen, thank you for teaching me to ride and ride" Liliana said as she tried to get off the horse.
Arsen held onto the girl's hip to help her get down. This is where Adara's anger is mounting. She could not stand it anymore and approached her husband as well as Liliana.
"My husband," Adara held back her anger, she smiled then held Arsen's hand.
"Air?" Arsen glanced at his wife.
"What are you doing here?" adara asked with a smile, but her eyes looked at Liliana sharply.
"Miss Adara, forgive me for my horse training with Mr. Count" Liliana said as she lowered her head.
Arsen made things clear, "Not so dear, don't misunderstand me. I just taught Miss Liliana to ride,"
"Oh so yeah. If you really want to ride, tomorrow I will ask father to bring a horse master and sword teacher to teach you, "Adara smiled fake as usual.
"Thank you for Miss Adara's attention, but it's not necessary. I'll talk to Mr. Duke myself about this,"
"Alright," answered Adara coldly.
The two female eyes looked at each other and exuded a sharp aura to each other.

🍀The main palace of the kingdom Istvan🍀
The red-eyed man opened his mask, as he entered the hall in his magnificent royal palace. He faced respectfully at an old man sitting on the throne chair. He was King Istvan. King Istvan called the man by the call of the crown prince. In fact he praised his crown prince for having successfully overcome the rebellion and looting under his leadership well.
"You have done your duty well to the crown prince, I am very proud of you" the king-crowned old man told Max. He was the King of Istvan, Alberto Pacerta Istvan, ruler of the Istvan kingdom.
"Don't overestimate, I'm just doing the job the king's father gave me" Max said, still sitting on his knees before his father.
"Bring my son! Raise your head, you don't have to worry about me!" Said King Alberto to Max, his future heir to the throne.
"Right, you don't have to duck like that. You are the pride of this kingdom, crown prince Maximilian," said a young and beautiful woman with long hair beside the old king.
"Good mom, are you proud of me too?" max asked with his sharp eyes towards the beautiful woman sitting next to his father. He raised the intonation of his voice while calling the woman's mother's name.
She was the Queen of the Istvan kingdom, Freya Seravinee Istvan. Stepmother Maximilian.
"Of course I'm proud of you Max" Queen Freya said with a cold smile and a sharp look at Max.
King Istvan said that he would grant his son's request, whether it be money, gold, or the woman he wanted as a reward for his hard work in performing the task.
"I have one father's request" Max said with a smile.
"Say what it is, son! I will definitely grant it!" King Alberto.
He must be asking for another woman. Guess king Alberto in his heart.
"I just want to have a party at the palace to celebrate my success,"
"party? You sure about that? Not a woman but you want a party?" asked King Alberto in disbelief at his son's request for a party.
He knew from childhood that his son hated crowds, so why would he want to throw a party? He never attended the party himself.
"Do you mind my request?" max asked to see his father flabbergasted and silent on his throne.
"Your Majesty will definitely not object to your request, crown prince. Is it just that you really want to throw a party?" queen Freya asks Max once more about the party.
He really doesn't like crowds, so why would he want to have a party where everyone comes and where the crowd is.
"I'm absolutely certain, Your Majesty, the Queen" Max said solemnly.
The king could not refuse Max's request, he granted a celebratory feast to Max by inviting all the nobles in the kingdom of Istvan.
After his talks with the King, the crown prince ordered that the search for information on Liliana and Adaire be unfinished.
