Chapter 45 - Kazuya P4 (1/2)

Kazuya quickly brought Lethia away from the room.

He knew if they stayed there any longer, she would cause a fuss. The moment they were out of sight, however, Lethia threw her arms around him, ”H—hey? Wait...”

”Don't let me go. It's not fair; I met you first. Why does Lyn get to have you?”

The usually strong, cold and indifferent First Princess of the Mist Kingdom has quite a childish personality. Honestly, it surprised Kazuya a little. The woman who he saved was anything but fragile. Then again Lyn is the same way, though she acts strong. But at least Lyn doesn't deliberately act delicate - she naturally is. However, Lethia is different, though they weren't close. Kazuya has heard a lot of rumors about the girl.

He knew that the girl was naturally indifferent like the rumors said. The mask she hides behind is this childish personality. The Sound Kingdom elders warmed him before that this woman is not as simple as she looked. She's used this trick on plenty of men before.

Honestly, he doubted the credibility of the rumors, but at the same time, Kazuya knew he couldn't trust it. His thoughts broke off when he felt Lyn's curious gaze peeking through the door.

Kazuya removed Lethia away from him and walked back over to Lyn, ”I already said no, don't mind.”

”I do mind,” Lyn turned red, ”I want nobody to touch you.”

”..”

Kazuya stared at the girl in disbelief, is she crazy? Or maybe it's him who is insane. Lyn is always very open about her emotions. Fake relationship or not, Lyn's honest feelings touched his heart.

He brushed his forehead against hers, ”Yeah, the same goes for me. So if Rhys does get near you, use your dagger.”

Lyn hits him playfully, ”Dummy.”

Fully aware that Lethia was still watching them, he turned back to the girl. He could not read the expression on the girl's face. She said nothing and just glanced at the two of them back and forth.

A deep sigh passed her lips, ”I see, how stupid.”

Lyn tugged on his sleeves, ”Older sister?” she called out, uncertainty filled her tone.

”Since you're here now. I'll tell you straight up, Lyn. I was the one who sent those assassins after you.”

Wait what?

Lethia sighed, ”Honestly child you're giving me a headache. If you just remained confined in that place, I wouldn't have to do anything to you. But not only did you not stay put, your gathering quite the attention in Town. 'A girl that looks like a Princess,' 'Secret member of royalty' 'But she's very kind..'”
