Chapter 49 - Kazuya P8 (2/2)

To his surprise when Kazuya looked over the man wore a gentle expression in his eyes, ”Don't fret, even though those two have been engaged since they were younger. Nothing happened. Lyn turned sixteen and yet nothing has changed. Allen doesn't intend to lay a hand on her until she asks or falls for him. He's very traditional that boy, but his subtle hints won't work on my daughter. But you,” King Daichi drawled, ”You are very different. From the start, I knew that. Relax if it's you, my clueless daughter will realize soon enough.”

Realize soon enough? Kazuya didn't get a chance to respond to that when he saw black hair by the door. It was Lyn; she leaned against the door patiently. At least that's what it looked like to anybody walking by. But Kazuya knew something was amiss. Kazuya rushed over, ”Lyn?” he called out.

”Kazuya, are you finished?”

”What's wrong?”

”I want us to spend some time together,” Lyn trailed off, she fiddled with her fingers, ”Is that okay?”

Some time together? But it's almost la— Realization struck Kazuya, and he nodded. She must be saying that in code because her father is here. Though King Daichi isn't a bad guy, Kazuya knew he wouldn't approve of them sleeping on the same bed together. Rather, he will probably get killed if the King finds out. Kazuya felt the man's gaze on him and shuddered - maybe he knew? That's scary.

….....

Kazuya immediately noticed that something was wrong. So when they were at the bottom of the clock tower, he started some mundane topics. When they got outside, he asked her right away, ”Lyn, what happened. What's wrong?”

”Nothing,” Lyn muttered. She clutched to him tighter, ”Say Kazuya, when do you have to go back?”

”Hmm?”

'Go back?' Kazuya thought to himself; it didn't take him long to figure of what she was talking about? That stupid Rhys and his big mouth. Kazuya gently pressed his lips on her forehead, ”At the end of the year, but I won't be there long. Just two months at most,” Since he's crucial to this plan with Lyn.

Kazuya glanced at her reaction, and as he expected, she didn't look pleased at all. The frown on her face seemed to increase.

”Kazuya, um can I go with you?”

”Ah?” Kazuya raised his eyebrows, though she had a conversation like this with him before. He wasn't sure how serious it was. Does she really want to go?

”I um, want to see the place you were raised in,” Lyn shyly tugged on his sleeve, ”I can't?”

Kazuya stared at the girl utterly speechless. Why is she so cute for? She always does these things that leave him no room to argue. Maybe he can negotiate with the elders about bringing Lyn along?

”I'll make some arrangements, don't want to get your hopes up. But it would be nice if you came with me,” Kazuya replied. He genuinely felt this way. If Lyn came along with him, then he wouldn't have to worry about the Elders making him do unreasonable missions. But even more than that, ”I'd like to show you some places too.”

The Sound Kingdom isn't as large as the Mist Kingdom. But there were many beautiful areas. Judging how much Lyn likes scenery, Kazuya wanted to show her the beautiful scenery of his home town.
