After all the trouble she had been through, Lillian went to relax by taking a shower in her room alone, as she wanted to reflect. When she got out of the shower, when she got to the room, Killan was waiting for her.
- I want to be alone!
Killan came over and hugged her.
— Lillian, you can cry if you want. You don't always have to be strong.
Lillian hugged Killan and started crying to vent all the anguish she had been through.
— Killan, why do dreams always come true? What do I need to do to escape them?
They sat on a sofa and continued to hug each other.
Lillian cried a lot. And he asked if she was calmer.
— "Your tears are directed at someone else... I wouldn't allow you to be sad like that because of me. I will do my best to make her happy."
Killan comforted Lillian.
— Killan, why am I feeling this anguish in my heart? I can't identify this feeling.
— Lillian, I believe it would be jealousy.
- Jealousy? It can't be jealousy. I've never been jealous before.
He pulled her away for a moment, held her hands and looked into her eyes.
— Let's drink to drown our sorrows.
Killan opened a drink and poured Lillian. Lillian didn't usually drink, but it would ease that feeling a little. Lillian vented everything that was in her heart. She was already a little drowsy.
— I will leave to let you rest.
Killan got up and was going to leave. But Lillian grabbed him by the sleeve.
— I would like you to keep me company tonight.
— "Lillian, you are completely vulnerable, you could take advantage of this opportunity. But, I won't do it."
Killan carried Lillian in his arm to the bed and covered her. He kissed her on the forehead.
— I hope you have sweet dreams tonight.
...
The other day, Issac was waiting for Lillian in the office, he was pacing back and forth, distressed because despite having seen Lillian's dream he was unable to help her, so he thought:
— "How does Lillian feel all this time having to relive nightmares twice?"
When someone opened the door, he thought it was Lillian, but it was Izor. Izor can see Issac's worried face.
— If you allow me, I can explain to Princess Lillian what happened. That that woman was your suitor, but that you were never a couple and how she betrayed the trust of the entire kingdom.
Issac motioned for him to stop.
— I'll talk to Lillian myself.
Just as Izor was leaving, Lillian opened the door. Lillian entered, Issac didn't know how he should begin to explain such a complication he had caused. He was very serious, Lillian noticed that Issac was extremely uncomfortable that the environment had also become like that.
They sat down. Issac noticed that Lillian was quite unhappy. He took out a magic stone from his pocket.
—Would you allow me to use it? This magical artifact glows when someone is lying.
Lillian nodded in agreement. Issac began to tell what he was trying to forget, but it was something from his past that had come back to haunt him.
— A few years ago, my parents decided who my bride would be. I never knew her properly, for I was always busy with the learning and tasks of the kingdom. The date to make the commitment official was approaching, but I decided to cancel the commitment. Bellatrix didn't accept it, she started persecuting me and then she was expelled from the kingdom. To get revenge, she obtained confidential information and handed it over to the enemy, betraying the entire kingdom.
Issac had lost a little faith in trusting people, but Lillian believed in him, she was doing her best not to lose that trust, but she was surprised when she was faced with that situation.
Lillian didn't expect Issac to have gone through all of this, in addition to being sold into slavery. Even so, Lillian still had a tightness in her chest. She approached Issac, placed her knee against the sofa between his legs, looked him deeply in the eyes and questioned him:
— Have you ever become a couple?
Issac was surprised by the question and denied it, as he had never even dated that woman for whom he had so much contempt. However, Lillian didn't know his past, she didn't know what kind of relationship he had with Bellatrix before meeting her. Then, he concluded:
— Lillian, are you jealous by any chance?
- Of course!
The magical artifact glowed.
— So, you were jealous of me with that woman?
— "That stone started working right now, I can't say that I wanted to know if they walked hand in hand, if he even gave her affection and said kind words." ... I was jealous.
Issac realized he still had hope, he hadn't completely lost Lillian. When she confirmed that she was jealous, Issac gently caressed her face and kissed her. Their lips were touching and then the kiss deepened. She lay down on Issac who slid along with Lillian who was on top of him who slid his hands down her body. Issac got up and Lillian sat on him, they were facing each other and said looking into his eyes:
— Lillian, you are the only one I love.
Lillian gave a charming smile that made Issac fall even more enchanted by her. After a few seconds, a doubt arose in Lillian.
— How did she manage to tie him up?
Issac looked away as he was embarrassed that he had fallen into such a trap. He looked at the stone, realizing he couldn't hide the truth. Lillian realized he didn't want to answer. She came closer and whispered in his ear.
— By any chance, did she seduce him?
Issac blushed for a moment.
— She used her voice to deceive me.
And Issac told what had happened.
...
Issac was in his room resting when he heard Lillian's voice through the door calling him, saying:
—Close your eyes, Issac. I have a surprise for you.
Issac asked excitedly what this surprise would be, Lillian had never been in his room, he was a little anxious. She blindfolded him and I wondered what this surprise was. The perfume was the same, but for some reason I felt uneasy. She asked him to stay close to the bed and tied him up and I asked:
— Lillian, what are you trying to do?
- I already said it's a surprise.
She caressed me, but I felt her touch a little differently. She kissed me, then I realized it wasn't Lillian and Bellatrix whispered in my ear with her voice.
- I hate you.
And he started using the voice skill, I realized that it was the same words from the dream. I despaired, because I knew that the real Lillian was listening to everything behind the door.
Issac placed Lillian on the couch and held her hand as he brought her closer to his face. — I will become a stronger man to be worthy of being by your side.
After hearing the words, Lillian was much more relieved.
— Issac, I want you to go to the Northern territory.
— Wait, Lillian. Why are you sending me away?
— I think if we get away for a while it would be best.
Issac hugged Lillian, who was already used to that hug and would find it difficult to forget.
— "It will be the best for Issac. I want him to be happy, even if it means not being by my side."
— "I don't have the strength to protect her or to say that I would like to stay by her side without being a nuisance. I will use this time to show that I am worthy of being by her side."
A few days later, Issac left together with Izor for the Northern territory. And before that he spoke to Killan.
— Please take care of Lillian in my absence.
When Gideon heard the news, he was very pleased.
— I managed to remove an obstacle from my path. Now it remains for Lillian to choose Prince Ravi for the plans to go as expected.
