NovelEnglishLiam lowered his eyes, slowly clenching his fists as if trying to grasp the warmth that was gradually slipping away. "I hope you can find someone who can prioritize and love you with his life. It's not worth it for you to love someone like me." Yuliana cried as she ran through the hallway in the fortress. When exhaustion finally claimed her, she slumped against a wall, her breaths coming in ragged gasps.
She looked like a child who the entire world had just abandoned.
Stpassed before a figure stood before her and then lowered itself until meeting Yuliana's eyes.

Yuliana lifted her swollen eyes, choked on a sob, and exclaimed, "Yes... I'm a ghost... but I'm also the prettiest ghost you'll ever find!" "You're right! You're absolutely right. You're the prettiest princess in the whole world." Alyssa coaxed her tenderly. To distract Yuliana from her sadness, she even tried to scare her. She asked, "Why are you crying here in the dead of the night instead of sleeping in your bed? Aren't you afraid of actually attracting ghosts? I heard that centuries-old fortresses like this one can be quite haunted..." Yuliana was timid. She screamed and leaped into Alyssa's arms in fright. Her petite frwas soft and warm, making her very snuggly.
Liam, ever the modest one, had surprised Alyssa. After two trips to Kontina, he had managed to conquer the princess' heart. He had actually robbed the cradle! Alyssa understood Yuliana's tearful breakdown. As a child of privilege, Yuliana was used to having her every whim fulfilled. Yet, here she was, facing her first rejection. Moreover, it was from Liam.
Alyssa's thoughts raced. She couldn't help but pull a crying Yuliana tighter into her arms. All of a sudden, she was reminded of her past self.
Winston, her father, was the wealthiest man in Belbanks. He was an uncrowned king who helped to increase Belbanks' GDP and provide many residents of Belbanks with job opportunities. Whenever she went out with Winston when she was young, everyone called her "princess".
She was the princess within the Taylor family and someone who grew up very well-loved. Yet, the greatest turmoil she had ever been through was granted to her by the love of her life. Fortunately, she persevered and ended up getting the happiness that she desired.
Yuliana seemed to be walking the spath.
As a family member, Alyssa wished Liam could have his own happiness. She could also tell that Yuliana really fancied him a lot. However, the weight of Jennifer's mysterious past and Winston's adamant objection forced Liam to make the most brutal decision there was.

"I... I'm afraid to go back..." Yuliana rubbed her eyes. She grumbled softly, "It's all your fault... You said that there are ghosts. I'm scared now. I'm most afraid of ghosts." Alyssa patted Yuliana's trembling back gently. "If you don't mind, would you like to cand sleep withtonight, Your Highness?" "Okay... I will allow that." Yuliana sniffled. The tip of her nose was red.
Due to palace rules, she had to sleep independently since she was young. Honestly, she was a little afraid of sharing a bed with someone else. But with Alyssa, she felt a sense of security, as if she were her own strict family. Within the royal falous palace rules, this was a precious feeling to have. A soft chuckle escaped Alyssa's lips. She wrapped her arms around Yuliana's shoulders and began walking slowly. Suddenly, her phone buzzed in her coat pocket. She took it out for a quick look and saw that it was a message from Liam, The message read, "Please look after Yules tonight, Lyse." Alyssa whipped her head around, catching a glimpse of a tall figure standing alone at the end of the dark hallway.
It was Liam. It seemed like he had been standing there for a long while.
Alyssa turned around. Without Yuliana noticing, she raised her hand in the air and gestured, "Okay."
