Lonely Flower - 2 chapter

After that, eight years passed. When Liliana was twelve years old, she was engaged.

She was engaged to the prince she was in love with. Because of this, she immediately accepted the Royal Family's proposal for a wedding.

Liliana began taking special princess lessons and other lessons such as swordsmanship and archery. She was glad to leave this lonely house where she was ignored.

At the same time, the La Sole family adopted a girl from the orphanage who was thirteen years old.After a while, Liliana learned that the adopted girl is actually her half sister, born of another woman.

She began to notice her father's separate attitude towards this girl. He treated her with warmth and love, unlike Liliana.She did not pay attention to it, but still, deep in her soul she felt that resentment and pain. Asking questions:

-I'm his daughter too, why doesn't he treat me like that?

On the day of Liliana's eighteenth birthday, she had a dream. In this dream, she saw her future. She saw how unhappy she would become when she entered the palace. The prince who will not pay attention to her will soon take on a concubine. That will make her life difficult. Which in the end will lead to death.

After Liliana woke up, she first thought deeply about sleep. But in the end she decided it was a simple dream and forgot about it.

Anna came to her room to help her get ready for her birthday ball

-Miss, you are awake. We have a long day ahead of us preparing for the ball-said she

-It's not that interesting to me - she said

-His Highness the Prince will also attend the ball- was Anna's reply

-This is the reason why I will attend this ball - said Liliana - Is Ria here already?

-Yes, she's here. If you want I will call her to you

-Yes, i want to see her

After a while, someone knocked on the door. When the door opened, a girl entered the room. She was tall, with long brown hair pulled back in a ponytail and knightly clothing, and with a sword at her side.

-It's been a long time - Liliana began

-Yes, your highness - said Ria - Eight years have passed and I am grateful for everything

-Will you keep your promise to me?-asked Liliana

-Surely I will keep my promise- was Ria's reply

-Good

Evening came, the ball was already beginning.All the guests were busy talking among themselves. But when the names of the Prince and Princess were pronounced, everyone fell silent and greeted them

-His Highness Prince Andreas de Nicola and Her Highness Princess Liliana la Sole

Everyone was amazed at their beauty. Liliana's dress matched the color of her eyes and hair the color of gold that showed her beautiful, was so beautiful that it was impossible to take your eyes off.And the prince, with his unusually beautiful appearance, did not back down to Liliana.

They started the first dance. Everyone looked at them, then other men called the ladies to dance.

Only Liliana's sister who refused all gentlemen to dance while waiting for the prince's invitation to dance.

But she never got a chance to dance with him, because after their dance they made an announcement about the wedding, which will take place in a week.

The preparations to the wedding are started. Everything was planned perfectly for that day.

But is everybody was happy about it? Especially those who was about to get married? Liliana maybe always wanted an waited this day, but the Prince didn't felt the same.

The cold attitude of the Prince before wedding towards Liliana was noticeable. She saw it. And maybe new, that this all was against his will but she couldn't do anything. She just thought that she will try hard to make him like her and give her a part of his heart. That what she was hoping for.

-I wish , I will be happy and loved by person I love in back- that what Liliana was saying in her heart .

The wedding was smoothly completed. Liliana was glad that she will rarely see her fathers cold face and the affection he was giving to her sister. She felt free from what she experienced to this day.

Palace. She come to her new room. The room was so grand and well decorated that she felt too pressured.

-I will help you to chance your clothes- said Anna. She helped her to take off her huge beautiful dress into light nightgown

-Thank you Anna-said Liliana

- His Highness may come soon , so please rest for now Princess - said Anna after finishing to brush Liliana's hair

- Huh?!...Ah...Yes...- said she . Liliana remembered that this is first room sharing day...so called "wedding night"- Right, the first...but I think something like this won't happen- mumbled Liliana.

- Did you said something?-Anna

-No, you may leave now- Liliana

-Yes- Anna

Everything happened as Liliana thought. That was already midnight but no one ever come.

- As I thought, he is already shows me cold shoulder. What did I even expect?!But I won't give up on you so easily. Just you wait Prince Andreas!

The next day Liliana was having her breakfast alone. The Prince didn't show up again. And maids was gossiping by whispering about last night and the relationship between Prince and Princess

- I can hear everything from here- was thinking Liliana- or they are think that I'm deaf or ghost?

- Enough! Don't you have shame?!- yelled Anna to maids

Ria was next to Liliana and she was about to scare maids with her sword

- No need- said Liliana- That doesn't mean anything to me . But I can order you any time to rip of their toungue - said Liliana with scary and annoyed look in her face

- W...We...are ...s-sorry Y-your Highness. We won't do it again- said one of the maids

-I hope so- Liliana -or I will be the one who will personally give a punishments to you!

The maids left the dinning hall

- Your Highness- said Ria

- I'm ok- Liliana- Let's go for a walk

They came to the Royal garden. There were a lot of different and pretty flowers. Liliana was walking and looking at them but her full attention was on roses. They were really beautiful to look at but it's has thorns so you can't touch it with a bare hands

-Such a beautiful flowers, but it's beauty can't make everyone like it- said Liliana and went forward
