Chapter 11 - Let me show you the stars (1/2)

Year 4014 Mist Kingdom - North Quarters (Princess Lyn room)

A few hours later

Realizing that she could not fall asleep, Lyn stood up and made her way over to the balcony. She thinks back to the events of earlier; perhaps it was better if she didn't hear that last line. Now that Lyn heard it, she couldn't feign ignorance. Kazuya and the sound Kingdom people, exactly what are they planning? Should she tell somebody about this? Lyn already speculated it before during her first conversation with Kazuya. Whenever he told her stories regarding his people, Lyn noticed how he purposely left out a few details. From the beginning, there was something strange.

Her thoughts broke off when she caught a movement from the tree, ”Kazuya?!” Lyn exclaimed surprised. It was none other than the maroon-haired man from the Sound Kingdom. He sat in the tree by her bedroom.

”Hey Princess,” he greeted her with a huge smile, ”I was thinking what I would to get you to wake up, so it's a good thing you're awake.”

Lyn rolled her eyes at his comment, ”Like you'd actually wake me up when I'm already asleep.”

”Hm? How can you be certain.”

She looked at him with a horrified expression as she realized something, ”Ew gross, stay away!” Lyn exclaimed.

”Gross? Hey!”

”Guys that have experience with women are the worst,” Lyn made a disgusted look with her face. Though she was inexperienced with relationsh.i.p.s, she often overheard the stories of the soldiers guarding her area, ”To attack a maiden when they are asleep is the lowest of the low.”

Kazuya sighed deeply, ”Do you really think I'm capable of that? You already forced me to sleep on the same bed as you, that should prove my innocence.”

She tilted her head in confusion at his words, what's wrong with sleeping on the same bed together? Just as Lyn was about to voice out this idea, Kazuya stood up and walked over. Lyn realized immediately he was trying to get to her, ”Wait, I'll get a ladder,” However as she said those words, Kazuya was already on the edge of her balcony and climbing up.

”How did younger here so fast?” Lyn asked, eyes wide with amazement.

Kazuya grinned, ”When you think Sound, don't you think speed?” It was a brief explanation, but Lyn understood. So it's his powers. Though they've trained together, it was a first for Lyn hearing him speak about it. Kazuya must have realized since he smiled, ”Want to learn more?”

Lyn looked down at her feet and didn't respond right away, ”I don't want to pry too much, I know you have secrets Kazuya. The same goes for me,” That's right, even though she confines in him more than anyone. There are many things she has yet to tell him, ”So, I don't want you to feel obliged to tell me anything.”

Her thoughts broke off when she felt a warm hand caress her cheeks, ”Kazuya?” Lyn spoke softly.

”Yeah, don't worry. If I tell you anything, it's because I want to. And your secrets, huh? Maybe you'll tell me one day.”

'maybe' huh? She wonders when that maybe is. Lyn wanted to confined in Kazuya regarding everything. But they've barely known each other for two weeks; it would be far too soon for her to completely show him her true self. General Adrien always tells her it's okay to trust people, but the first one must trust themselves. Trust, it's like giving a part of oneself away.
