tit for tat
"What are you up to now, madam?"
Lilia smiled as she sat on the bed in their room after watching him leave the room and asked Shiro to the room.
"First I want to change these rags that you wear, you will be my own maid, which means that you will not wear anything and go out with me."
Shirou's eyes widened and blinked several times quickly, then said while pointing at her chest with her index finger.
"Wait... where am I going?"
"cheh"
Lilia turned her head, then put one leg on top of the other, and folded her hands to her chest and said to her:
"You're going to accompany me to my work, don't you want to leave this house and get used to the life of going out for a bit?"
A smile fell on Shiro's lips as if she was in heaven, and then she ran out of the room quickly and screamed as she ran.
"I'll change my clothes and come, just wait for me, madam!!"
Lilia stared in shock at Shirou's quick reply and said
"This girl.. she exceeds my expectations day by day but that's okay... that's good. She seems special too, and not just a stupid idiot who only knows how to be his slave."
Lilia got up, went to her closet, and opened the large closet in which the special-style hats were displayed, of which there was only one piece in the country at that time, and chose a white hat with red feathers, and put it in front of the mirror.
"I look beautiful with whatever I wear, oh my God, that's beautiful."
Shirou interrupted her, panting again while holding the doorknobs of the room and said to her
"I'm ready madam!!"
Shiro looked very beautiful in plain clothes, a long green coat that reached almost to her knees, with a black belt tied over it, and a black fur on top, and she was wearing a yellow dress behind it all, black shoes and a little small hat that reflected the beauty of her blue eyes and blonde hair.
"You look very beautiful, Shiro, and you have great taste in clothes too! It makes me more excited about you!"
Shiro was so happy with these words that made her excited and helped her lady to put on her white coat and white shoes as well, to get out before her from the room and went outside to get in the car and help her lady to get up, and the driver got up in front of them after Mrs. Lilia ordered him to go to a certain place.
"If you can, hurry up please."
The car drove and hit the water left by the rain and the humid air that gives breath when passing a garden, and in that window the general stood staring with cold eyes, clasping his hands to his chest towards you in his carelessness with himself the sound of the door knocking
" please enter "
He answered the door sound without turning around.
So a normal man in army clothes entered him, but he seemed to be of much lower rank than him. He was carrying some papers in his hand that seemed to be important, so he took a military salute to him without the general turning to him and said in a position of readiness.
"Sir! Sorry for the inconvenience, but these papers need your signature."
As for the general, he did not respond to him the first time, so the soldier said while trying to check on his master.
"Sir, are you okay?"
The general turned around and sighed. He approached him and took the papers from him. The soldier was dazzled by the height of Michael and the beauty of his muscular body.
"Okay, okay, I get it, you can go out now, I'm fine."
He pushed him out of his back quickly and the soldier widened his eyes in shock because of his master's sudden behavior, and Michael returned to sit in his chair and put his pen in his hand to start reading the papers presented to him by the soldier and he was ready to sign them, but the content made him turn the papers quickly and his eyes started to get angry.
"These papers... just what the hell are you planning...!"
He got up quickly and took the papers to put them in his side pocket, after wrinkling them with indifference.
And he went to the room in which that soldier who gave him the papers was working, and threw the papers in front of his office, and the soldier was terrified to get up and take a quick salute with jerky movements and said to him
"my lord!!"
As for Michael, he put his hands to his chest and said to him in a sharp tone:
"Who gave you these papers?"
'I noticed that his body was trembling, he must be very afraid and he might blame anyone who comes in front of him but this way I will know'
"Tell me, I'm not going to cut off your head or anything, I just want to know who handed these papers to you?"
That little soldier swallowed his saliva as he stared at the man in front of him
He was terrified upwards, as if a mountain of explosives might explode on him in the blink of an eye, but he knew that it was best for him to confess.
"Sir… these papers came from a blonde woman with blue eyes, who was very beautiful and of medium height."
Michael raised his eyebrows
'It seems like he's focused more on the appearance of the girl than on these papers and their content, he's so stupid he really isn't even reliable.'
Mikael interrupted him and said,
"I think I understand what you mean, thank you and take good care of your business."
Michael left the station where he works and took his car to go to his own palace, the Aleron family's palace, in which only Michael Aleron resides.
He stopped the car after the servants opened the door for him and told them before he got off
"Is Mrs. Alerone here?"
The servant at the door was surprised by his question, and this angered Mikael to shout at him
"Mrs. Lilia Alerun is in the house or not?!"
The servant understood that his master was referring to Miss Lilia, whom Michael calls Mrs. Aleron instead of Lilia Miron, because she had become his wife, though they knew that he had brought her to his house without formal marriage.
"As... No sir... No, I mean... She's not here, I apologize!!"
Mikael turned the car a full turn to leave the palace garden with his car as soon as he entered, although he does not know where it is, but he can predict it.
He was walking so fast that the cars were moving away from him and in her mother's house she was sitting at night drinking tea with her mother and said to her:
"I know you also love money, Mom, and since my father passed away you have been unable to control all the property so much that you have sold so much of it to pay off the debts you made from gambling and buying expensive liquors while I was away from the country."
The mother was worried all the time, so much so that Lilia noticed that her mother's nails had been eaten, and she was the one who caused this to herself.
"Mom... I know you're traumatized and tired but don't worry about my marriage, I'm not going to give it up don't worry my husband will have a big wedding and at the same time I'm going to pay off all the remaining debts, all I want is that Stay strong and be happy for your daughter and pray for me.."
Lilia wiped her mother's face with one hand and her other hand holding her both hands and smiling then got up and kissed her mother's head and said to her.
"I'm leaving now, I have an appointment with my husband, and I want you to ask the maids to collect all the things in my room for the purpose of moving them to my new home."
The mother smiled and sighed as if she felt a psychological comfort that she had not felt before and nodded to her daughter who got up from the sofa and rose behind her to smile at each other and said to her.
"I'm leaving now.. "
Before she started saying the other word, I heard a voice from outside, a very loud voice, and the big door that overlooks the reception hall opened.
He entered quickly and headed towards Lilia, who looked at him with fear and hesitation, but she stood in front of her mother as if she was trying to protect her mother from him.
But he pulled her from her hand so hard that she felt a dislocation in her shoulder
"What the hell are you doing?!"
She screamed at him loudly and hit him in the stomach with both hands to push him hard away from her, but he didn't budge except for a few inches.
"What do you think you are doing?!"
He shouted at her and said, waving papers in front of her.
"What do you mean by this?"
