Lonely Flower - 4 chapter

After a while someone knocked the door

- Princess , the Prince's came to see you- Anna

- Coming- Liliana

She went out

-It is an honor to see you again, Your Highness. I thought that after my visit today I would see you in about two weeks- said Liliana

- I came here to say something. I hope you will drop the idea of Melissa's becoming your lady-in-waiting! !

- And why should i do that?-Liliana- I can choose whoever I want . And she very suitable for this role

- Yes, you can choose whoever you want but not her- Prince Andreas- please respect my decision as well

- Your Highness, can you tell my what is so special about that girl, so you are came all this way asking this for her? -Liliana

- There's nothing like that!!! I just came here to say that she can't be your lady-in-waiting-Andreas

- Fine-Liliana- I will do as you wish

-Thank you-Andreas

-But...-Liliana

-But???-Andreas

- But I have one condition -Liliana

- What is it?-Prince

Liliana smiled lightly

- I want you to make time in your schedule for me as well. I mean, I want us to spend some time together- said Liliana

- I can't I'm very busy -Andreas

- Busy you say...Heh...but you somehow managed to make time for her, right? - said she looking at him with her blue cutting eyes

- This is...- Andreas couldn't answer to her words- Alright , but not everyday

-Everyday ! - stubbornly- Or there is no deal-Liliana

-Alright , as you wish. Then I shall take my leave -Andreas

-Sure, be careful on your way back-Liliana

-....- Andreas did not say anything and left

In Liliana's mind

- I got you! Now you can't escape!

The next day . Liliana and Prince Andreas were together. They just spent time drinking tea and walked in the garden . They didn't talk about anything in particular. Especially Prince.

When Liliana say or ask something he will just nood or his answers remain short like ''yes'' or ''not''.

So some time has passed. And one day Liliana was at her limit said

-Prince..

- Yes? -Andreas

- You coming here everyday like I asked you to do we can spend some time together...-Liliana

- Yes, and?-Andreas

- But it's looks like I'm forcing you to come- said Liliana- you're not talking to me nor looking. If you don't want to come and be here please say so.

- I'm just following our deal-Andreas- so there nothing a can do about it

- You saying that if not for the deal you would prefer spend more time with Melissa, right?- Liliana was getting angry - Can you tell me , why you are doing this? What the reason?

Liliana knew that Prince was meeting with that girl every day. But didn't say that out loud

Suddenly someone came in hurry

- Your Highnesses, sorry for interruption but this is urgent - Servant

-What's up?- Prince Andreas

- His...His Majesty is collapsed . You need to attend him right now- Servant

They were shocked to a sudden news

- What?! - Andreas- Let's go!

- Wait! I'm coming too! -Liliana

The main Palace

- How is he? -Andreas

- He is stabilized for now, but due to poor health I'm afraid he can't manage the Kingdom affairs as before - said Doctor

Prince stayed quietly and didn't say anything

- Is there nothing we can do to improve his health? -Liliana

- Unfortunately not, Your Highness. He is not young after all. Everything we can do is make him relax - Doctor

- ... - Liliana didn't say anything to Doctor's answer

- Then I will take my leave - said Doctor and left

- Andreas....- said King

- Yes father- Andreas

- Come closer - King

- As you can see I'm not in good shape as before and I guess I can't make it as good as before. So I think it's time for me relax . And so long I'm still alive I want to see your coronation as a King - said King

- But father! -Andreas

- Don't make me repeat. You already have a wife that will stand next to you. And also I want to see how my son will rule this Kingdom - King - So in my last days as a King I order to make preparations to a coronation ceremony for the Crown Prince Andreas and Crown Princess Liliana.

The preparations to the coronation has started.

But Liliana wasn't happy about it at all. She was thinking

- I don't think that I'm ready to be a Queen. It's too huge responsibility for me...-was mumbling Liliana

Suddenly Anna knocked the door

- Your Highness ,may I come in?

-Yes - Liliana - What's up?

-The Queen wishes to see you, Your Highness- Anna

- The Queen? - Liliana...

Queen's Palace

- You wished to see me , Your Majesty?!- asked Liliana

- Yes, I did - said the Queen- sit down please

- Thank you, Your Majesty- said Liliana

- Soon is the coronation ceremony , the most meaningful day for both of you. The day when people will meet their new King and Queen - said Queen

- Yes? - Liliana

- Isn't there some other good news? - asked Queen

- What kind?- Liliana
