In Ha crouched down and hid her face. Her brain needed to think extra to get out of this situation.
Should she give up on Lilian's attitude that had been imprinted in other's eyes as a delicate princess?
What if there were rumours that tarnish Lilian's reputation?Rumours?
Right. Rumour, again!
Seo In Ha was like a magnet for rumours. Adding one more rumour didn't matter to her. As long as she could still control what she wants to show them.She mumbled softly. "Oh whoever the Lilian's God, please forgive me this time."In Ha peeked through the fingers covering her face. Arthur still looked at her questioningly. The silence in the room makes things more stuffy. In Ha finally lowered her fingers and linked them to the knee.
"Did you hear what I said just now?" In Ha asked cautiously, just to make sure."Which part?" Arthur narrowed."It's good if you don't hear it." In Ha stood uArthur sat back behind his desk. He did not remember how the process of their conversation ended. All Arthur remembered was Lilian's blue eyes.Even though Arthur could see a smile hanging on her chin, Lilian's eyes left a deeper impression. He felt strange and familiar with that look.Arthur's reverie dispersed when Ian called him for a second time.Ian knocked on the door first. He was not sure of hearing the reply from the inside and decided to push Arthur's door slowly.Ian's brows furrowed as he saw the person he served lost in thought. It was very different from his younger sister who just came out with a cheerful expression."Sir?" Ian called him again, this time louder. It was only then that Arthur noticed Ian's presence."How?" Arthur immediately returned to himself and continued what was supposed to be his job earlier."I have delivered the document and handed it directly to the minister." Ian referred to Noland, Arthur's fa
"Of course not! You can visit here whenever you want." Noland spoke while clasping his hands together, anticipating his hopes for the future. He had more chance to improve their relationship and that made Noland excited.In a few minutes, Ben returned to Noland's side. His face was beaming.Noland furrowed his brows again. "Don't you have another job?" he smoothly tried to expel Ben."How can I have another job when you are here. Are you forget my job is to assist and protecting you?" Ben answered casually and looked at Lilian. "Princess, I didn't expect you to grow this wonderful and beautiful!"If only Lilian brought a fan, she would open it and cover her teeth which were ready to appear. Who could stand the praise in front of the face when those who gave the praise seemed more happy than the receiver?"Thank you. Uhm ... because as far as I see father and Mr. Griffiths have known each other for a long time, should I call you uncle?""Of c
"How could you say that to your only daughter? Do you want her to be an old maid?" Ben clearly disliked Noland's thoughts.In Ha ignored Ben's disapproval and smiled.Yes, Father. Engagements and that screw thing at this young age simply outdated. For someone living in the 21st century, matchmaking was the last thing you need to concern. People choose to come on some blind dates.Wait, isn't that the same?Anyway, Lilian's age was still at self-exploration stage. It was not being burdened with heavy word like engagement.She quickly went out after finished her tea, leaving Noland and Ben with their respective arguments. In Ha returned to the academy that day. Even though she was on an internship, their festival was still going on, so In Ha still had to go back to the academy and practice with the others.Besides, it wasn't just Lilian who returned to the academy, her classmates who were also in different divisions had to be back and pr
Michael did not accept that Lilian was under Logan's supervision rather than his. He pestered Arthur and followed him around, complaining how unfair they were choosing time to dividing their junior when he was absent.He had no choice when his presence was needed and had him summoned to the palace back then.Michael had warned Ian to monitor Arthur and asked him to make Arthur put Lilian under Michael's guide. If Michael himself do that, he definitely sure Arthur would ignored him. So he needed Ian to help. Maybe, if Ian put his hands, Arthur would listen to him.Ian, who was given the message, shrugged and muttered he had done what the second prince wanted and the result obviously.He didn't have the authority to force Arthur to go along with their will.They continue to argue until something loud interrupts Michael's words.Michael pulled out his eyes when he saw the situation that was happening. What lay before him was like a scene from a
Logan frowned slightly when he felt someone's presence in his private room. But when he smelled that familiar scent, the corner of his mouth lifted."You're here?""Hmm ..."Logan linked his eyebrows again. His hand stroked the swollen area carefully. Anger rose in his chest."Who did this?!"Marianne grabbed Logan's wrist and threw herself into the man's embrace before shedding her fake tears again."Sir Logan ...""Tell me, who did it?"Marianne sold Lilian's name without hesitation."I don't know what got into her. She thought I was approaching Arthur. However, you know that there was nothing between Arthur and me, sob ... ""Lady Lilian?" Logan sounded unsure. "Why does she think that? Come with me, we will solve this misunderstanding." Logan stood up. "I'll explain to her.""NOOO!!" Marianne quickly refused and hugged Logan. Her hands tightly encircle his waist. "If you say it, then all this will be ex
"YOU…!"Michael made a fist as Arthur face didn't change a bit."Argghh!" He finally yanked out. Michael couldn't stand talking to that iceberg anymore.After Michael left, Ian studied that iceberg expression. There wasn't much to draw from there and Ian sighed."What should we do?" Ian finally asked. He knew he had crossed a line he shouldn't have.The iceberg stared blankly at the blackened paper, which has been spilled with ink earlier when no one able to save. He couldn't get Lilian's gaze out of his mind. What is that?A Betrayal?Distrust?Disappointment?Somehow Arthur was familiar with that gaze, even though this was the first time he had seen it in Lilian. And as usual, he just watched without doing anything.He didn't know what to do in a situation like that, which frustrated Michael and made Ian questioned his decision.He was not used to dealing with more emotional relationships. He even
She heard a rumour.One of Marianne's followers, a lady from the Marquess house was famous for having a pet cat which treated like a prince.These noble cats were acting up but due to their aristocratic status the case was closed and people quickly forgot about it when it came to money.One of the people helping her was her fiancé, the person In Ha was going to meet this second.In Ha saw a man with glasses sitting behind the table and concentrating on the material in front of him. His haircut neat. His clothes didn't look expensive or extravagant, but plain and simple scholar. And this scholar was her stepping stone.The white writing 'Librarian Assistant' printed on the long wood in front of him.In Ha tapped the table softly. A sweet smile plastered on her lips.The man stood and respectfully asked what she needed.After some time he looked for what Lilian asked, with an embarrassed face, he returned to her."E
In Ha finished her assignment until late. No one here than herself in the department. She suddenly didn't want to return to the dorms even though her body was so tired.She wanted to meet Noland, but the corridor to his room looked scary. There were no guards on duty except in her office room and In Ha didn't want to ask them to escort her.Her activities have been full since she woke up in this world. And somehow the time has passed so slowly. She had no time to wander around and only thought about how to finish this role and hurried home.Home.Is there a place in the world over there that I can call home?Not just an empty place filled with dead furniture. But where there are people alive who warmly welcome she home.Well ... even though she wants to come back, there's nothing in particular waiting for her besides Won Ji Hoo.Ah...That man...at a time like this, he still busy working towards his dreams.A small smil
