Chapter 49 - Kazuya P8 (1/2)

Is he acting this careless because they are both from the Sound Kingdom? If so, then that's stupid. After all his mission right now is to destroy the Mist Kingdom. Why would King Daichi act so friendly?

”Elder Bryan was it? He sent me word you were coming here; he told me to aid you if you get caught,” King Daichi said.

Huh?

King Daichi sighed, ”Don't misunderstand. I won't help you. And I've warned Orthez already about your little group. But, I only told her to watch over you, I didn't expose the plan. Her keeping an eye on you limits your movements. By exposed I'm talking about, the public. It would be bad for you if people found out right?”

So, in other words, he's not really on anybody's side. If it harms his wife and Lyn, then he would expose them in a heartbeat.

”But you should know that we plan to,” Kazuya didn't know how to say it anymore. Use Lyn? Already he was thinking of ways to modify the plan with nobody noticing. So far, the only thing he has come up with is convincing her to agree with the plan. Initially, when the elders told him the plan, Kazuya thought nothing of it.

But when he thought about it now, the plan is filled with holes, that anybody could exploit.

King Daichi smiled, ”Tell me something Kazuya, what do you think about my daughter?”

”Huh?”

”Just give me a brief description.”

”Well, I guess she's a bit strange? Pardon me for saying so, but she is slightly weird,” Kazuya ran his hand through his hair, ”But as weird as she is. Her eyes contain with hope and courage. A bright light surrounds her. I have yet to confirm what her ideals are regarding the Empire. But I can already tell from her behavior whenever we go to Town.” Honestly, he is a bit surprised. He didn't think he would meet somebody like Lyn. Somebody who has yet to be corrupted by the ideals of the world.

”Hm, I see. So, I'll give you a choice.”

'So there is a catch,' Kazuya thought to himself. But he should have expected this. This man is not like the rumors say. Or rather those rumors are very vague. There's not much information on the King. Usually, that would worry people. But other people focus on Queen Orthez too much, that they neglect the King who is equally as bad. This man is doing work in the shadows without people realizing.

”If you can convince me that Lyn is better off with you then I'll nullify her engagement with Allen.”

”Huh?”

King Daichi smiled, ”You like my daughter correct?”

Like, he doesn't understand yet. But for the longest time, Kazuya knew he wanted nobody else but Lyn by his side. Kazuya slowly nodded, ”I like her,” the words felt foreign in his tongue. But at the same time, it felt just right. Obviously, it felt foreign; he's never said such words in his whole life before.

He honestly doesn't know what to think of it just yet. But if he doesn't give King Daichi an answer, then Lyn will the Wind Kingdom's Prince will steal Lyn away.
