Chapter 66 - The Two Of Us Are Similar (1/2)

When Kazuya finishes patching up Yuzuhara's wounds. The young boy explains how he got those injuries.

Kazuya frowned, ”The guards attacked you?” he seemed surprised and Lyn was too. She knew that after the guards learned of Kazuya's strength, and what he did recently - the bullying towards the Sound Kingdom members died down. Her eldest brother too sent a order around to treat their guests with 'care' and 'respect,'. Despite the short note Lyn knew that everybody got the message.

Her Eldest Brother is first in line to the throne. The messages he send out is like word from the King himself, so people never disobey them - no matter what unreasonable things are written there.

So, what on earth is this situation?

”Can you describe the guards to me? Are you sure they were guards from here?”

”Pos-” Yuzuhara trailed off, ”Now that you mention it, the uniform looked a bit different. Black, swirl pattern,” he described.

It was just a little description, and yet Lyn already knew whose guards he was talking about, ”Prince John.”

”Ah?!! Right! That guy, I overheard him say some shady things about you Princess and threatened to report him. He probably didn't like that and got revenge.”

”Yuzuhara, you confronted him alone?!” Kazuya exclaimed.

”Uh...wait Kazuya-san, I have a good explanation for this.”

But Kazuya wasn't happy at all, and started to lecture the young boy again.

”Prince John, is he troubling you? The reason you have nightmares?” Rhys said.

Lyn looked down as she clenched the covers, ”It's not just him,”she murmured. While she can't deny that she gets nightmares regarding that time period. He is not the main cause of her suffering, ”It's mainly about my curse.”

”Your curse?”

”Yes, lately I keep seeing fire. Something is burning, peoples voices - and yet I see snow too.”

Amongst all the flames she sees droplets of snow quietly falling from the background. At first Lyn thought she was seeing this. Whenever she has those nightmares, she can never see herself - she can see the scenes happening before her. But Lyn can never see herself, she can only see her hands and feet. It's like she was seeing things through another persons perspective. The Snow is quietly falling, and yet her whole body feels like it's burning.

As she described all this to Rhys, Lyn noticed instead of his sly and stupid remarks. He was actually listening to her intently. After she finished telling him, Lyn covered her mouth. Why is she telling all these things to Rhys?

Rhys lips curve to a smile, ”So, there are things you can't tell him, but tell me huh?”

”Don't act so conceited.”

Lyn realized that she raised her voice.

Kazuya looked over, ”Rhys, don't bother Lyn. She's sick.”

”Yes, yes,” Rhys smiled, ”We were just having a chat.”

Indeed they were just chatting. But she suddenly felt uncomfortable. Why did she run her mouth like that? Just moments ago when Kazuya was asking her, Lyn couldn't tell him anything. Is Rhys different? Is it because he's easier to talk to? No, it's none of those things. Lyn brought the blanket to her face but peered over at Rhys, who stood not too close to her bed but not too far either.
