Chapter 80 - Looking for the Perfect Present (1/2)
There was something there, something she had never seen before. Since she first met Rhys, Lyn has never seen him in this manner. She thought she got to know him quite well since they spent a lot of time together. But it turned out she was wrong. There are still things about him that she doesn't know. Lyn buried her face further in Kazuya's arms.
Maybe he sensed something was wrong since he pulled her close and whispered, ”I'm right here Lyn,” those three words were the only thing she needed to hear. That he is right here beside her, she doesn't need anybody else. As long as she has Kazuya, Lyn knew she wouldn't have to worry about anything anymore.

Town 2:00 PM
While Rhys laid out the traps in the inn, she and Kazuya went ahead to town. At first, Kazuya had suggested that she and Rhys went on ahead, but Lyn didn't want to be left alone with him after what happened. Kazuya thought it was just her being cute and wanting to have a date with him, so he agreed. 'Stupid,' she repeated in her head. She completely destroyed their plans. There is a reason why Kazuya is in charge of traps. It's because he's better suited at that job. Yet, Lyn didn't want to be left alone with Rhys. Now that she knows what he is capable of, she will be more careful now.
”Lyn, look, this would look nice on you,” Kazuya pointed to a vendor selling clothes. Since the dress was on the rack amidst several others, Lyn is amazed that he saw it from afar. Her eyes lit up when she saw how pretty it looked, and he chuckled, ”Mister, can we get that?”
”Sure, buying a present for your girlfriend? Must be nice.”
Kazuya laughed, ”Well, if I don't shower her with gifts who else would?”
”Quite the talker aren't you?”
”It's confidence,” Kazuya squeezed her hands, ”Right?”
Lyn blushed, she didn't know what to say and nodded. Whenever she is around Kazuya, she always ends up acting all shy. Lyn didn't know what it was; it's not like she was a particularly shy or reserved person. Pupillam always instructed her to act more like a Princess, and the General too said they would work on her manners.
After they bought the outfit, Kazuya's lead her to a small corner and gently kissed her lips. Lyn turned even more red than before, ”Um,” she looked at him with a confused look.
”That was embarrassing even for me, do you dislike public displays of affection?”
Public displays of affection, ”I never gave it much thought before,” displaying affectionate acts in a public place, huh? Pupillam and the General would surely be against it. After all members of the royal family are like rare gems, getting close was already considered an honor, let alone touch, ”But if it's you Kazuya, it's okay for me.”
This person is the only exception to everything if it were anybody else she would tell them off. The grin on his lips widened, ”Good, well, let's go,” he turned to leave.
However, Lyn reached over and tugged on his sleeves, ”Lyn?”
