Lilian rushed back up to her room her maids followed. She quickly ran into the room flopping onto her bed. The dress crinkled around her she laid with her face digging into the sheets. Her maids stood there around her waiting. Lilian pounded the sheets around her like high school fan girl. She was upset she lost her composure but what made her more upset was she wished she could believe in Leons words. Lilian desperately wanted to hold onto those words and hoped he would see her for her.
How could she though she thought to herself. How could she when there was no place for her anywhere. Earth was exhausting her daily life always filled with nothing but work and most of her hard earned money went to her mother. She wasn't abandoned by her own simply because she was her escape goat. If Leon knew the truth he would abadon her too she kept thinking.
"My lady we should at least prep you for dinner with a more comfortable dress." suggested Roxanne.
"I don't feel like going down for dinner. Just have them serve it to my room." Lilian answered.
"But my lady the king will be expecting you." cried out Arianna.
Lilian knew that it would be their first time dining together since she awoke. But after her emotions getting the best of her how could she face him. She's supposed to keep up the act so he can't get close to her. Lilian has never showed her true side to anyone except her faithful maids. His words still stung ringing inside her head, his gestures, his expressions they were more than what she experienced in her old life. She never was in a relationship before, she didn't know how to deal with a man that had interest in her.
Lilian sighed deeply and began pacing in her room. Slowly she began to slip out of her dress. Showing only a sheer silky undergarment it was black with lacing. Although it was black you could still see her figure and any body features were made exposed. A knock on the door could be heard suddenly thats when Eliouse handed Lilian a matching rove to cover in it was a bit less sheer luckily.
"You may enter." ordered Lilian.
Rivar walked in scanning the room. He was there to make formal request for her to join Leon for supper. As he gazed around the room he saw Lilian who once again was basically naked. She was exposed his face became flustered. Lilian made her way to the sofa waving her hand to gesture Rivar to come sit across from her. He followed out her order striding over towards her.
Rivar sat down in the soft comfy sofa his eyes kept drawing him to look at Lilian. Her porcelain skin, her petite body, her lovely moon white hair that feathered her shoulders and arms. He could even make out her breasts and see her underwears through the gown and robe. His face began to look redder. Lilian crossed her arms against her chest and sat back.
"Uhhummm.... m-my lady you really shouldn't let others in unless you're fully dressed." he murmured to Lilian.
"Hehehe" Lilian giggled looking at his red face "I am dressed had I received an announcement beforehand about company coming to my room I would have been more prepared." she answered with a smirk on her face.
"I understand Lady Lizbeth in the future I shall notify ahead of time. However I thought tou would still be in clothing since you've just returned." Rivar pointed out.
Lilian knew Rivar's logic was fair but she didn't want to see the king right away and all that running made her sweat. Her clothes were a bit damp from her escape.
"Unfortunately I had to escape from an encounter with someone I wasn't prepared for. My clothes then became sweaty and now I am tired." she told him with her brows furrowed.
Rivar immediately knew she was talking about Leon. Leon as soon as he returned sent Rivar over to Lilians room to ensure she would still dine. Leon wanted to take the opportunity to talk more and ask her what she meant before. Rivar didn't want to get in the middle of this seemingly petty squabble.
"My lady his Majesty is requesting you to dine with him. How would you like me to answer him?" Rivar asked.
Lilian took her hand to her face in a manner to help her think. Internally she was deliberating over what to do. How would Leon react if she denied his offer? Would he be understanding if she did deny it? She wasn't lying when she said she was tired. She was still adjusting to this frail body of Lizbeths as well as everything that has happened to her. She just wanted to eat and rest. She wanted to enjoy sometime with her maids more as well.
"Please tell his Majesty that I won't be able to join him tonight. Maybe another night we can recommince our talk and dine together." Lilian answered with a fraudulent sorrowful face.
She thought maybe if her expression looked sadden and Rivar reported that back Leon would have some sympathy for her and not be angered. The maids were shocked however that their lady was regecting the King's offer. Roxanne and the others knew their lady had to do her best to ensure her place by his side on the throne. This made them concern for Lilian very much.
"I will relay your message my lady. However that man is stubborn and he may come to see you out." Rivar replied he swooped back his hair thinking of how Leon may react making him worry a bit.
"Im sure our King will be able to take pity on me after I ran like a prey trying to escape from an apex predator. Surely he would know tired a frail woman would be especially after my past circumstances." Lilian continued on with the conversation to try and rebuttal.
"Hahaha..for you my lady anything is possible when it comes to that man." he answered back heading towards the door.
Lilian blushed at his answer and shook her head to regain her expressionless face. Maybe for Lizbeth he was that kind of man but she was not Lizbeth her thought was.
"Enjoy the rest of your evening my lady." Rivar said as he bowed and then left.
Lilian sighed deeply she was definitely exhausted now. Keeping up this charade was extremely tiring. She hates lying to people and trying to impersonate and identity that she has no similarity to made it even more difficult.
As Rivar walked away from the door he couldnt help thinking of how Lilian looked. Her curves popped out of the robe, you could see any hidden beauty mark or any other bodily feature a man shouldn't see unless spending the night in bed with her. He could not reveal this detail to Leon or rage and jealousy would make things hard for him. He thought how lucky the King was to have a woman like that as a possible future wife. He breast were large her body was petite, even with some of the visible scars she looked like she could radiate under a full moon and shine under it's light.
He headed to Leon's office to report in. Leon was waiting most impatiently and he seemed to become a dog waiting for a bone from his trusty master. In a way it was nice compared to his haughty behavior in the past.
