Lillian woke up stunned and didn't understand what was happening as she had stood there over Issac who saw her expression of astonishment and considered it understanding, after a dream like that. She asked what had happened.
— You were having a nightmare, I'm sorry for waking you up.
Lillian walked away from Issac, he offered her a glass of water so she could calm down. Lillian calmed down a little, but was a little reflective, as Issac was by her side.
— "I never imagined he would be capable of betraying me. Will I do something that will lead him to that decision?"
— "Should I tell Lillian about the dream? That I was able to observe what happened."
— Issac...
Lillian called for Issac, however, Lillian didn't have the courage to ask if he had ever had a fiancée and if he had been separated from her and then completed it.
— ...We should go back to sleep.
...
Lillian was very busy with travel preparations and used this as an excuse to avoid Issac. She still didn't have the courage to talk about this subject with him, as the great fear that lived in her heart about being abandoned prevented her from talking.
Killan noticed that Issac and Lillian were further away. And confirmed it when Lillian only invited Killan to have afternoon tea.
— Lillian, did you two fight?
— We don't fight.
He waited a bit, drank some tea, then spoke to Lillian.
—So you dreamed something you didn't like? You can talk, I'm here to listen to you.
— I had a dream about Issac. You told me the other day not to trust him.
— So... He cheated on you?
Killan laughed, but Lillian didn't like it and he quickly apologized.
— Tell me exactly what the dream was like.
Lillian reluctantly told Killan who was listening to her dream. He placed his hand on hers, as if to comfort her.
— "I really would never imagine that Issac would betray Lillian, from the expressions he makes next to her, honestly he deceived me."
Killan moved closer to Lillian.
— Remember that I am your ally. However, I need to ask you something about this dream. I'm not trying to defend Issac... " After all, he is my competitor." ... . But, did you really see or just hear him saying that?
— I just listened.
— Lillian, when that happens. Remember... You need to see with his own eyes that this really happened and hear it directly from him, even if it hurts.
A few days had passed and Duke Gideon appeared at Lillian's castle. And he said he had a very important matter to discuss with her in the office.
— Princess Lillian, I have been researching your concubine Issac since you informed me that he would be your official concubine.
— I did not ask you to perform such a task.
— However, I did it because I was worried about Your Highness.
Gideon showed a detailed report on Issac, showing that the kingdom of Lynx possessed the power of magical stones. These stones had countless powers that were not detailed and as they were an unknown power, they became threatening to King Orion. Furthermore, this report showed all of Issac's relationships, in addition to informing that he had a girlfriend since he was 15 years old.
— I heard reports that they were very close.
— Lord Gideon, you were the one who gave Prince Issac to be my concubine, why have you changed your mind now?
Gideon didn't know what to say. And one of Gideon's assistants requested permission to enter.
— Your Excellency, your appointment awaits you.
Gideon asked Lillian for permission, as he had an important commitment. Lillian also left the room. Well, I had created the courage to talk to Issac about this suspicion I was having. Lillian was walking down the hall towards Issac's room. When she saw the girl she had dreamed of entering his room. Duke Gideon approached Lillian, who was surprised, as she thought he had already left.
— Do you know who this girl is? She was Issac's suitor when he ruled Lynx.
— She was Issac's fiancée!
— You may like him a lot, but does he like you that much? Why don't you listen to what they're talking about?
Lillian remembered, everything was exactly the same as in the dream.
- "I am scared. If I approach the door, I will hear the same things as in the dream."
Gideon put his ear to the door and found himself amused.
—It looks like you just lost a concubine.
Lillian gathered courage and decided to listen.
— I hadn't seen you in so long, I missed you so much.
— I missed you a lot too, Issac. You have become the princess's concubine. What will we do with our relationship?
— I was forced to do so. Furthermore, I needed to pay off the debt for her freeing me. So, as she was in need of affection, I provided her with some. We can hide our relationship. Because the one I truly love is you.
When she finished listening to what Issac had said, Lillian took a deep breath, remembered what Killan had told her and placed her hand on the door handle.
