Chapter 39 - Princess Lyn P11 (1/2)

Year 4014 Mist Kingdom

Lyn must have passed out because when she woke up, she discovered that she was already back in her room in the Mist Kingdom. At least that's what she thought so initially. But when Lyn looked around, she noticed it was a lot smaller than hers. A low ceiling, broken looking floorboards. In fact from where Lyn lay, only the bed seemed slightly decent and the cabinet. The rest of the things in the room such as the desk and chair looked worn out and battered. The couch had a broken spring.

A frown appeared on her face, where is she? Wasn't she in the restaurant, and with Kazuya too? Instead of returning to where her Father and Allen were, Kazuya used the rear exit and brought her back. Her thoughts broke off when the door opened with a creak. When she saw Kazuya, a relieved sigh passed her lips. She knew she was in the Mist Kingdom Palace grounds but Lyn didn't recognize the area, so it worried her that she troubled some stranger.

”Um, where?”

Kazuya smiled, ”My room, well the room they gave me here. Sorry, it's a bit cramped. Nobody was at your gate to let me in, so I couldn't go through the barrier.”

Lyn slowly nodded. Despite her muddled senses, however. So, somebody let him go through before? Who was it?

”Don't move about so much; you're still sick.”

She realized something immediately and looked down at her clothes, noticing that she wore something different. Her cheeks grew hot, ”D-d—don't go near me!”

Kazuya turned red, ”Hey wait, it wasn't me. I just asked Rhys, girlfriend..”

Her ears perked up at that, ”Rhys has a girlfriend?”

”Well more like the girl he sees the most. According to Rhys,e doesn't need things like a fixed girlfriend and stuff. But if you ask me, he dotes on her a lot.”

'Beth,' Lyn recalled where she heard the name before. It must be the one from the opening day — the one where she caught them in a compromising position. Her face turned more flushed as she recalled it. Kazuya reached over and brushed his hands on her face.

”Mm, your fever is rising.”

”Kazuya.”

”I know it's a small place. But make yourself at home yeah?”

Lyn slowly nodded, and Kazuya drew his hand back, ”Wait, let me get your food.”

She nodded again and watched as he left the bed.

Lyn peered at him from her blanket. She found this whole situation odd. Who wouldn't? Lyn looked around the room again and frowned. He's supposed to be a distinguished guest from the Sound Kingdom. Why is his place like this? But then again judging from the amount of hate he gets. She supposes it should be normal.

”Kazuya,” Lyn softly called out.

”Mmm?”

”Um come here for a second, please.”

He didn't respond so Lyn thought she was asking for something unreasonable. When she felt his

”I want to cuddle,” she shyly asked him.

Kazuya blinked and muttered something under his breath that she couldn't quite catch.

...

”You want to learn more about me?” Kazuya asked.

Lyn nodded, ”Ah-huh.”

”Well, there's not much to say.”

Oh.

Kazuya saw her dejected look and shook his head, ”It's more like there's a gap in my memories somewhere. Yes, I'm just like you in that department.”
