Killan and Lillian were talking on the terrace.
— I know your secret!
Lillian moved closer to Killan so the others couldn't hear.
— What secret, Lord Killan?
— You have the gift of dreams. Only those divinely blessed can have this gift.
— How does this gift work?
— You didn't know about him?
Killan was surprised. And Lillian soon said:
— I had my doubts as to whether it was really real. I would like to know more about it.
— What will I gain from revealing such information?
Killan asked as he touched Lillian's hand that was resting on the balcony railing.
Lillian was silent.
— "He wasn't in the dream, so he's not related to my fall? However, I cannot rule out that he may be hiding something." ... What would you like to win?
— Make me your concubine, princess.
Killan was about to touch Lillian's face with his other hand, when Issac entered the place and stopped him.
— Only I have the right to touch her.
— Issac?
Lillian was surprised by Issac's sudden appearance, but was relieved that Killan was interrupted.
— Just for now! I'm sure the princess will accept my proposal.
- Is this a threat? — Lillian asked worriedly.
— It's a statement, Your Highness. Please meet me for tea at 3pm tomorrow, I would be delighted to welcome you.
Lillian was worried that he had information about her gift that she did not. She needed to find him, the future was taking another shape. And countless hypotheses were going through Lillian's mind at that moment.
Issac accompanied the princess in silence and in the carriage they were alone, but no words were being exchanged.
Issac was worried, as he was thinking that he was of no use to Lillian, while that young man was the son of the duke and an apprentice priest, he certainly has greater political power. He would have the political strength to be on Lillian's side.
— Lillian, will you accept that young man as your concubine?
- Why? Are you jealous?
— I don't have that right, but I do.
Lillian was surprised, she didn't think Issac would give that answer. Issac approached and sat next to Lillian, he approached and gently touched Lillian's lips with his finger and asked:
—Did you kiss him?
— We just talked.
— Will you meet him tomorrow?
Issac looked a little worried, she could see in Issac's eyes that he was afraid of being abandoned, she knew very well what that feeling was like. She stood up, pushed her chest against the carriage seat, climbed into his lap and wrapped her arms around him, she was looking straight into a surprised face, she gently touched his face and looked him in the eyes.
— Don't worry, I like you.
After saying these words, she kissed him and their lips touched in a kiss that deepened.
