Chapter 27 - The Fiance appears? Allens abrupt visit (2/2)

”Allen..”

”I shall be nearby if you need me, so close your eyes.”

He does not know how to display kindness openly. Even expressing words of concern is difficult for him. Who is to say his actions are genuinely kind?

....

A little while later

Allen knew he was tired, but he did not expect to drift off. When he looked up and saw the bed empty, he frowned and got up. Allen walked towards the bed and placed his hand on the sheets; it was still warm indicating she only just left. With haste, he turned and left the room. It didn't take him long to find her; the girls' quarters may seem large. But there are limited places she can go to, anyway.

His fiance was not alone, standing beneath a large tree - there she was with the man he heard from the reports. This must be him; it fits the description: maroon hair, unusual eyes, and that annoyingly stupid grin. Despite the man smiling, however, his fiancee seemed frantic as she repeatedly told the man not to get angry.

”Do-don't get mad Kazuya; it's just for a little while. Allen does this often, but he won't stay awhile since his work keeps him busy,” Lyn explained.

Allen almost blew his cover to laugh, this time around dear, he left his work. So even if they called him back, he won't until he sorts things out here.

The man named 'Kazuya' is silent for a while, and Lyn gently called out to him, ”Kazuya?”

”Will I still be able to meet with you?”

”Yes,” Lyn laughed softly, ”Um don't worry, it's not like anything will change. We can still see each other.”

”Yeah, you'll be lonely without me around.”

”Dummy.”

Allen watched as the two 'embrace,' he frowned watching how tightly the guy held on to Lyn. Is it common for a man and woman to hold each other as often as they do? Certainly not. Though he still had little information on the man named Kazuya and how he acts with Lyn. It's not too hard to guess that hugging each other is not new for them.

”Kazuya?”

”Few more minutes,” Kazuya murmured as he buried his face in the girl's black hair.

”Alright, um can I borrow your hand too?”

Kazuya laughed, ”Feel free Princess, it's all yours.”

Allen turned and left then; he didn't need to see anymore. He already determined precisely how close their relationship was in those few minutes. He sighed deeply; it seems like he will have to take action regarding this matter. His marriage with Lyn is political, so Allen never expected the girl to harbor any feelings for him.

Yes, for Allen this marriage wasn't just a political one. He genuinely held feelings for the woman named Lyn. The moment Allen realized he was in love with his fiance was during the early stages of their engagement.

When Allen realized he fell for her, he knew things would become complicated. A political marriage is a political marriage, while there are those cases where both parties love each other. Those cases are rare, most times the marriages involve both parties getting into other relationsh.i.p.s, eventually. It was not unheard of to keep a mistress or lover or two.

For Allen to court, the girl was something unheard of. If he openly displayed his affections, he knew he would only scare her away. He wanted to bet on the passage of time. The more Allen visited her, the closer he expected for them to become. Indeed, for a while, it certainly appeared to be like that. The two of them getting along well with each other.

However, after the incidence that occurred when she was fourteen years old things changed between them. Everything reset, everything Allen worked hard to build with her vanished, and she looked at him emotionlessly. Allen recalled that day all too well, when the words, ”Who are you?” passed the girls lips, he knew things would never be the same again.
