Chapter 61 - The Right Choice (1/2)

For a split moment, Kazuya was quiet, and Lyn panicked. Wait, was he joking around? Though Kazuya seldom joked around, he would occasionally do so, ”Kazu-,” Lyn sentence fell short when she saw his troubled look turned bright. He was smiling happily and held his fists up like he just won some grand prize.

Lyn flushed redder, what is he doing acting so happy about it? Is he stupid?

”All right!” Kazuya exclaimed, ”She finally said yes. Woahhh is this a dream or something? Rhys and everybody were telling me all these things about you liking me and all that, but I didn't think,” Kazuya kept rambling on and on about her feelings.

Lyn tugged on his shirt, ”Stop that,”

Kazuya sent her an apologetic look, ”Sorry, but the walls in here are soundproof,” he explained. But Lyn shook her head, does he seriously think it's that?

”That's not it, Im just embarrassed,”

”Woahh, she's embarrassed, and it's because of me. Man, this is one sweet dream.”

Wait dream? Does he think he is dreaming? But it took all her will to say those words just now. Maybe there is a better way to convey this, something more straightforward. Lyn thought for a moment before something came to mind. She leaned forward and pressed her lips against his; it was a sweet and brief kiss. Unlike Kazuya, she has no experience with things like this, so all Lyn did was press her lips against Kazuya. But it was enough to snap Kazuya out of his daze.

A serious look appeared on his face, ”Are you sure, what about…”

So he knew about it, of course, he did. Her gaze softened at Kazuyas concern.

Lyn nodded, ”I don't want to waste any more time. We are living in these times where we could lose our lives at any given moment. That's why I want to create memories,” she trailed off and closed her eyes. That way if anything were to happen...

”Even if we don't date, I will still create memories. What I want to know is your feelings, Lyn.”

Hearing those words, Lyn opened her eyes, and she laughed softly, ”It doesn't suit you being serious,”

Kazuya scratched his face, ”But, if I ask nonchalantly, will you take me seriously?”

”I like you Kazuya; I have for the longest time. Do you think I would stay beside you if it were just mere interest?”

”Well…”

Lyn frowned and hit him lightly, causing Kazuya to laugh, this situation amused him. She took another deep breathe, ”I really do like you, so what you said to me made me very happy. Is it okay?” she asked once again.

Kazuya nodded, his gaze warm and gentle, ”Of course, I will make sure you don't regret this.”

Following Morning Year 4019 Mist Kingdom

To think the day after she said such words to Kazuya. She would end up having another banquet with Allen's family. If that were it, then it would be much easier to deal with. Lyn could have easily faked her illness. But instead, it's a joint banquet with her family. If she faked illness, then her second Brother would freak out and her First Brother? He would send for the best medics and behead anybody who doesn't cure her disease within a few hours. Other than being sick, Lyn couldn't come up with another idea...
