Chapter 4 - Im curious about you (2/2)

Lyn felt her face grow hot at his words, Kazuya laughed and reached over to gently caress her cheek, ”Your red like a tomato, that's cute.”

What's with this man? Why does he say things that's simply uncalled for? Before Lyn could say anymore though, the general pulled her away, and his blade was inches away from Kazuya's face, ”Wait a minute?” Lyn said puzzled. Adrien wore a deep frown on his face, while the general often scolded her. This was the first time Lyn saw him like this.

Kazuya remained calm, ”I realize you didn't like me since you first saw me, General Adrien, but drawing your blade at me is a bit too much,” Those words did not phase the General, and Kazuya continued, ”Should I take this as a sign of war against the Mist Kingdom?”

When Lyn heard those words, she pulled herself away from the General and walked back over to Kazuya. She tugged on his arm and looked at him with a pleading expression. Lyn doesn't want this situation to blow up into a political issue. She already causes her family enough trouble with her mere existence.

”I apologize,” Adrien said and drew his blade back.

Kazuya smiled, ”Rather than an apology, I'd like to take Princess Lyn away to accompany me for lunch outside, ” Oh! Her eyes brightened at the suggestion.

”Feel free,” Adrien turned to walk away, but he paused, ”Princess Lyn, please remember to at least attend to your afternoon duties.”

Lyn nodded, ”Ah yes.”

...…..

Once outside, Lyn sighed deeply. What's with the general? Why did he have to mention her afternoon duties in front of Kazuya? Even though her existence is unknown to most people. Those who know her understand that even though she's a Princess, she seldom has any duties other than those that involve Allen. In this instance, the preparations for him coming here, ”Stupid General, I hope he goes bald,” Lyn cursed, she doesn't understand why it mattered so much. But Lyn felt like Kazuya didn't like it when she brought up Allen.

Even on the first day they met, he seemed uncomfortable with the mention of her fiance. Lyn peered over at him, what's the point of him taking her out if he's going to give her the silent treatment? Just as she thought that Lyn felt his hands brush against her cheek, ”So, you missed me, Princess?”

Sensing his smug tone, Lyn averted her gaze, ”I didn't miss you..” That's clearly a lie, he already heard her, ”I just, I'm curious about you.” Lyn admitted. She might as well tell him the truth.

Kazuya nodded, ”Likewise it's the same for me. But, I want to get to know you better before I confirm my feelings.”

Feelings? Lyn looked at him with a puzzled expression on her face. But Kazuya didn't explain, and laughed as he drew his hand back, ”You're cute when you're fl.u.s.tered.”

Lyn stepped on his foot then, and Kazuya let out a massive yell, ”Ouch, ouch. Don't you know you're wearing heels? That hurts!”

”Tough!” Lyn retorted back. It's not like she's against it entirely.

Lyn felt warmth whenever he touches her, a kindness she has not felt in so long too. When was the last time she felt it? When was the last time Lyn felt so comfortable and natural around another person? Despite the injury she just gave him, Lyn watched his expression and noticed that his smile didn't waver once. What an unusual person, he's always smiling.
