Chapter 28 - Too many pests hang around my fiance (1/2)

4019 Mist Kingdom Main Castle - Prince Allen Chambers-

A few days later

People viewed Allen, the second Prince of his family as a man of pride, honor. Someone who always remains calm and never lets his emotions show on his face. The perfect Prince. Someone who could support his brother in the future. At a young age of 19, he realizes that suppressing those emotions become rather difficult.

A deep sigh passed his lips, as he leaned back on his chair. His gaze flickered on to the paperwork for a few seconds before he shook his head. Even if it is him this much alone is impossible. But he could not ask for help since it was the rare day off he gave all his assistants and guards.

Indeed, he knew better than to keep working them endlessly like that. When Allen received word that his brothers would not join him here in the Mist Kingdom, Allen understood — attending a business meeting proposal overseas during this period. They are trying to escape from the upcoming fight that is sure to happen in the nearby future.

Allen knew that as members of the elite they'd have to think of their own safety before all others. Because if something happens to them, how can the royal family continue? It's only natural they'd run away. But at this stage, others see it as cowardly, especially since they are the ones who ignited this fight.

When he thinks about the families that generally would cause trouble by now, the Kisaragi family comes to mind. As of late, however, it doesn't appear like they've made any moves. None of their branches either. They are not taking any action ever since the previous case with Prince Andrew subduing their forces a few months ago. What could those guys be thinking?

Prince Andrew, Allen was skeptical that he would stay quiet, that he would remain indifferent after what happened. But the Prince is doing just that, what is that man planning? Is he hiding the situation even from Queen Orthez?

Prince Andrew is a problem.

And so is the Kisaragi family.

With those two alone, it's enough to give him a headache. But now there is another headache to deal with. This next one is closely related to his fiance, the Second Princess of the Mist Kingdom current throne, Lyn. Despite his stay here, for the last few days, the girl disappears on him a lot.

Allen knew the game the members of the Sound Kingdom are playing. They clearly want to overthrow the Mist Kingdom. But the steps the man named Kazuya took have nothing to do with this game or this current battle. Instead, it's towards his fiancee; he's trying to pull Lyn away from him.

That kind of move would benefit them and he ought to worry because there is indeed a strong chance for them to be able to pull this off. However, that may be why Allen wasn't worried. Even if he does something about it, in the end, the one who makes those decisions is Lyn and nobody else.

There's also that other man; it surprised Allen when he saw him. The man named Rhys. If it's not one guy, it's another. Exactly why did his fiance gather such a troublesome crowd around her? It gave him a headache. Allen ran his hand through his hair and deeply sighed. Maybe he ought to take a break for a while.

...

It's during these times Allen thinks about the past a lot.

He recalled Prince Andrew words.

'If she found out, Lyn won't..she definitely won't forgive you'.

Indeed Allen knew, he was well aware of that. Even if he wasn't directly involved, it doesn't change the fact that he knew who did it. To this very day, he knew she still searches, searches endlessly for the main culprit.

' I will not hate you' huh?

In the end, Lyn always means what she says. Contrary to his cold attitude and indifference towards her. She expresses no form of dislike towards him.

But unlike when they were first engaged, Lyn no longer remains with him for a long time. As much as he wanted her too, Allen knew that he didn't have any more rights to make such a selfish request like that.

That's right; it's because he no longer has that right. So if she decides to leave him for the Sound Kingdom's Kazuya...If she breaks off this engagement, then Allen knew he would have no choice but to comply with this request. He will have no choice if she decides to go with someone else.

For the last few minutes, his brother said nothing and Allen watched him as he silently stood from the sides. Why did his brother call out to him? How unusual.

”How is she?”

”Lyn? She is quite well,” Allen trailed off, ”She seems to have warmed up to me. We go on frequent walks together, even without our guards.”
