Lonely Flower - 3 chapter
- If you not in hurry ,can we have a tea together?- Liliana
- Huh?! - the Prince wasn't interested but he couldn't refuse her because that was their first meeting after the wedding- Sure -said he
- Anna, prepare everything -Liliana
- Yes Princess- Anna
After a while they were sitting together by having a tea. There was dead silence between them
Liliana was embarrassed that she couldn't start a conversation
- Your Highness! -Liliana
-Princess! - Prince Andreas
They called each other at the same time
- You first- Prince
- No ,please you first-Liliana
Andreas looked at Liliana
- Well, I just wanted to ask if Your Highness and I can meet each other everyday like this- Liliana
- Well...actually...Princess, we got married not from our free will...And I think it will be better for us just meet each other and don't expect anything else- Prince Andreas
- ?!!- Liliana-Huh?!But I didn't! It's not because I've been forced
-What do you mean by that my Lady? - Andreas
- I mean...I really like His Highness, so I hope the Prince will try like me too- said she
- Ah...I don't know what to say -Andreas- My Lady, I don't wanna make you feel bad but I'm afraid I don't have the same feelings about you and I don't intend to have them
Liliana knew that he didn't like her but hearing these words from him directly was more painful
- I'm not saying to like me right now, I will try hard and after some time passes we will get used to each other and...- Liliana
The Prince Andreas suddenly said
- My Lady! Please! Don't make yourself to expect something from me, you will be the Queen as everybody wished. But my heart will never belong to you! I will excuse myself then- said he and left
Liliana was at loss after Prince's words and blankly watched from the back how he was leaving
- What did I do to him?- said Liliana- to make him hate me like that?? But I won't give up! I will ask him next time...
Anna and Ria noticed that Liliana didn't look well after the meeting with Prince so they didn't ask anything
After that day a week has passed. She didn't met the Prince even once.
-Anna, prepare some snacks- said Liliana
- You want have some tea my Lady? -Anna
- No- Liliana- we are going to pay His Highness a visit
- Understood!- Anna
- Isn't he busy right now? - said Ria
- Yes , he is. But we will go to lunch break- Liliana - If he don't want come, I will go to him
- .... - Ria
Anna prepared snacks and they went to the main palace.
Everybody at the palace was surprised Princess 's sudden visit. On the way there she met Prince's right hand man
- Greeting Your Highness the Princess- said he
- Lancel, is His Highness on his lunch break right now?- asked Liliana
- Not yet, but...- Lancel was answering hesitant- but he has a guest right now
- Is that so? Then I will just give him the snacks and leave- Liliana
- Let me pass it to him ,Your Highness- said Lancel
- No ,I will bring it myself. I came here to meet him I just can't go without seeing him- said Liliana and went straight to the Prince's office
-Oh no!- said Lancel and went after them
Liliana was going there without any hint in her mind. She just wanted to see him as soon as possible
She stopped in front of the door. And heard some people laughing. Not only man but also a woman's voice was coming out
She was about to open the door
- Your Highness! Please wait! -was saying Lancel which was going after them
Liliana opened the door and was shocked by view. She never saw Prince's smile like that. He was having tea with girl. And having fun. When he everything that Liliana was thinking about all this time.
In her mind she was thinking
- He never smiled at me like this before...
And here is sitting a girl next to him. Talking, having peaceful conversation... Having fun...Why not me?? What did i do to you??
- What's going on?- said suddenly Prince Andreas
- I brought some snacks for you and thought that we can eat them together - answered Liliana
- As you can see I have a guest here...and hope you will understand the situation -Andreas
Liliana gave a light smile
-Of course - Liliana
- Then please leav...- couldn't Prince Andreas finish his words as suddenly Liliana said
- Then I will join you - said Liliana after she went towards them- I would like to know the Miss introduce herself
- Princess please don't act disrespectful! -Andreas
- It's alright Your Highness- said girl- Nice to meet you Princess Liliana,my name is Melissa de Franken .The daughter of Marquis Franke
- Nice to meet you too. Please don't be uncomfortable. Think of me as a friend - said Liliana - Anna bring snacks
-Yes- Anna
Prince couldn't say anything and was sitting quietly
- So...as I can see you two are close-Princess Liliana
- Yes , we are - Melissa
- Is that so?-Liliana
- The Prince and I often spending time together -Melissa
- Melissa! - Prince Andreas- that's enough!
- Why? I'm enjoying with our conversation Prince, I can say this is my first time talking to someone after our wedding -Liliana
The Prince was surprised to Liliana's quick answer
- Princess?!-Melissa
Liliana suddenly came up with an idea
- I was going to take the lady-in-waiting, but I didn't know whom to choose, but now I think , this role is suitable for Miss Melissa -Liliana
- What are you talking about?!- said Prince - She can't!
- Huh?!-Melissa
- No, she can. I would like to see her around me-Liliana
- Of course I would be happy about it Your Highness.It's an honour! -Melissa
- Really?! Then I will see you again tomorrow-Liliana- I will send someone to take care of your things
- Melissa!- said Andreas
In Liliana's mind
- Melissa...Huh?!...You never ever called me by my name, or never allowed me to call you by your name...
- Then I will take my leave now. It's nice to meet you Miss Melissa. And it's nice to see you again after a while my Prince- said Liliana and left
- Why did you agreed?! - said angry Prince
- Is it bad? Then i can see you whenever I want-Melissa
- This is different -Andreas
- What's done is done, I can't take my words back...
Liliana was going to her quarter. Her face was emotionless. After coming to her room she ordered that no one will come in and stay in front of the door
She went to bed and hugged her pillow tightly. She had a lot of thoughts in her mind.
- Is that the type of girl you like? So you didn't even come to see me once. Can't you see that I want your attention...Your heart
After a while someone knocked the door
