Lonely Flower - 5 chapter

- What do you mean , Your Majesty ?- Liliana

- Then I will say it more openly... isn't there any news about an heir? - Queen- You know if you intend to hold into your position you need a child

Liliana didn't say anything she was only thinking

- ''I'm still a kid, how can I bear a child???''

- I'm the only wife of the former King, and he did not have any concubine because he needn't any- Queen- so I want the same for my son too

- I'm sorry Your Majesty - said Liliana by lowering her head

- I see, you may leave now - Queen

- ... - Liliana

Liliana left . On the way back she went to the Imperial Garden. She wanted to feel refreshed after after talking with Queen. She sat under the oak tree . And suddenly she heard some people's laughter. When she looked around she saw gardener holding hands with a maid and saying

- One day we will leave this place and will be free to do anything we want - gardener

- Anything ?!- maid- we even can travel?

- If course - gardener- we will travel to other countries and see other people and a lot of different sides of the world...

- Seeing different sides of the world?- Liliana- what kind of dream is that?

- Your Highness , the love that people see maybe different - said Anna - it may be love for freedom , or for somebody. The both of them is in love with each other but they also have love for freedom

- Anna...- said Liliana

- Yes? Your Highness?- Anna

- Did you ever loved someone ?- asked she

- Well... I did...and still do - Anna - but he is far away now

- Who is he?- asked Liliana

- Why are you asking ? - Anna- it doesn't matter anyway. I'll always be by your side Your Highness, and never leave

- I want to know his name, maybe you can't leave my side now. But in future you may be free...- Liliana

Anna did not said anything and just looked at Liliana

Liliana's room

- Anna, I want to be alone , you can leave now. And I won't be having dinner - Liliana

- As you wish Your Highness- Anna

- Wait! - suddenly said Liliana

- Is there something else?- asked Anna

- Call Ria - Liliana

After some time someone knocked the door

-Come in - said Liliana

- You called Your Highness- Ria

- Yes - Liliana- How is the things at the Duke's estate ?

- As always, the duke's busy with his work and Miss's spending time with her friends at the different parties - Ria

- I see, anything else? - Liliana

- Well...there's one more thing but I don't know to say it or not...the blue roses from your garden all died- Ria

- Blue roses....my mother's favourites...After I left no one cared about garden...not even....- Liliana

- Your Highness....-Ria

- You may leave now- Liliana

- Yes -Ria

Ria left. Liliana went to the bed

- My beautiful garden...blue roses...mom, I'm sorry.... I couldn't keep it...- said Liliana with teary eyes...

The next day

Liliana was checking some documents in her office

- My lady...- Anna

-Yes? - Liliana

-The Queen Dowager sent you two girls, they say they are your ladies-in-waiting - Anna

- Huh!? I said that i will pick them myself...- said Liliana

- Do I need to send them back? - Anna

- No, let them in - Liliana

-Yes - Anna

Two girls entered the office

- It is an honor to meet you Your Majesty - said one of the gIrls by bowing - My name is Larissa la Noya

- My name is Tiana de Montier - said second girl

- It's nice to meet you too - Liliana- You were sent by the Queen Dowager , I hope you will not make mistakes and will be faithful and honest with me.

- We will try our best - Tiana

- Alright then, you can leave - Liliana

They're bowed and left the room

- My lady , do you want to take a short walk at the garden? - Anna

- There are still few documents that need to be checked- Liliana

- It won't take long , you need to refresh yourself - Anna

- Alright - Liliana

On the way

In Liliana's mind

- I wonder what Andreas does?

Suddenly
