RYL Chapter 13
by FreyaChapter 13
Lilianne was meeting Crown 18a1b4552f Prince Mikael at a ae38555d2c café.
Sabrina and I sat 6e26074d36 behind her, wearing deep-brimmed 509778e167 hats with veils covering d8a5983caf our faces.
We had ordered 08b8a7a9a6 tea, but since a40d13dc24 we weren’t drinking 90334c4cee it, the waiter a95abbe4cb kept giving us 019b634bed strange looks.
We ignored 83e277520f it and 7e0c07adc8 focused entirely ec908c4129 on Lilianne 9f9c5d4751 and Mikael.a8c50c05012fe1b6
Mikael had befaf5eac5 red hair b1d4db9716 and golden 829c3830af eyes that e9674ac232 shone like 98325953a1 the sunset.
He was 3054f09d45 the male f4019ea896 lead of a2f1d7b80f this novel, 1f5f9f5850 as handsome d0dbbcc77a as Mathieu, 04ade9e644 but in 247b3b253f a different c1933a28b1 way.
While Mathieu had fa8bb2f404 a seductive charm, 374cebe3d4 Mikael had the 5df3da089c classic good looks d54cb6f6e7 of a devoted d2d3a6fe64 and kind-hearted man.
At least, that’s how 6725f9a1f2 the novel described him.37b64ead1f965096

But in reality, 068ccd587f he was terrible.
Even though he d9b227758a still had feelings 5701e0ab13 for his first 8f8ec8dfe6 love, Lilianne, he 454a88ad18 ended up falling ea93feff7e for the female f1f6e5801a lead.fa818fef347560a0
“It’s been a while 4ba91aae47 since we had tea c0e79340e8 together like this, right?” 6dae859674 Mikael said with a 3c28d00d58 bright smile.e3b897c241dee322

Lilianne remained silent.65beda520ea3cd78
Sabrina nervously fidgeted 07ed7fabdb her fingers and f850a61823 was about to f0d68d367c say something, but f4f11d8045 I quickly covered 1331b3e2b3 her mouth.9203b5f32e75f232

“Why are you 70d34f6d8b stopping me? Lilianne looks frozen in 1010159851 fear. We need to 62cdd1147e help her!” she 88ea590838 whispered.e1d5c16c48f770c6
I simply pressed bbe6f53629 my finger against 3a79f8ed72 her lips and 71befaa90f shook my head.

“Lilianne?” Mikael cfc5629bee called again, 321e5ce1cd sounding confused.3c1aef356581d840

“Mikael, do you a1fd0e999b like me?”b7dd08c4633b52e1
Sabrina and d3e6aead73 I stiffened d859aba7d1 in shock.
I glanced 0f0755252c at Mikael. He was even c9a4e0a8f6 more shocked than 8943eade87 we were, his 9362caa68d face completely frozen.5b70669e5492341c

Even though I could 756a13b9b2 only see Lilianne’s back, 14137cbf0d I remembered the icy ffa0d82b5a expression she had worn b36b17b549 at the banquet.

Even though ad297c94b4 I couldn’t ed447c33d3 see Lilianne’s 068f9a08e1 face, I a291400d81 could guess effcf7ee73 her expression afc722a3a8 from Mikael’s c16f6bebec devastated look.

The male lead would 8d6e664092 eventually end up with 43d74d76e6 the female lead.
