Chapter 7 - Dear God, please help Kazuya (2/2)

Princess Lyn's Chambers (Mist Kingdom Castle)

”Princess Lyn, are you crazy?” Kazuya asked.

”But it's late!” Lyn exclaimed. The two of them got sidetracked on the way back, and before she knew it, it was already pitch black outside. That's why she invited him to stay over.

Kazuya sighed deeply, and he looked at her with a questioning gaze, ”Are you sure you're sixteen?”

Lyn pouted, ”I am! Hurry and come inside; it's cold!” Though it was still Autumn. Autumn in the Mist Kingdom is colder than most places. So Lyn invited him inside. Well, Lyn looked back and watched as Kazuya reluctantly followed her inside. The cold and the dark is merely an excuse; she only wanted to spend more time with him.

Kazuya shut the door behind her, and she suddenly froze realizing something. Wait a minute, is it so wise to have somebody of the opposite gender in the same room as her? ”This place..” Kazuya spoke up, Lyn panicked. What is he going to say? ”It's small. But your furniture is extravagant.” Kazuya commented.

O—h, right, ”Actually the furniture was bland in here before. So when I went to the market, I bought stuff to make it more lively and my cousins bring over some things too.”

”Market? You're allowed out?” Kazuya asked.

Lyn nodded, ”Yes. Occasionally there's a time in the month where I can walk around the city. Of course, there's a limit. But I make do with the areas I can see.”

”Hmm...”

”Um, would you like to go with me?” Lyn blurted out, ”That time is approaching soon, Kazuya you haven't gone out much either since you came here right?” Lyn didn't know why, but she felt nervous as she asked him. This was the first time for her, inviting a friend to go somewhere with her, it was more nerve-wracking than she thought. Lyn played with the hem of her skirt, as she felt beads of sweat falling from her fingers.

After a few minutes of silence, Kazuya replied, ”Then, let's go together. I want to go with you.”

Her eyes sparkled at his words, and Lyn let out a relieved sigh, as she beamed brightly at Kazuya. ”Thank goodness; I thought you wouldn't agree.”

She's happy. With Kazuya, she's able to experience many things she hasn't before. Since he arrived here, Lyn's experienced enough happiness to last a lifetime. That's why please God. Please grant the wish from earlier. She does not want this person to experience any more pain.
