Chapter 91 - Just Her Imagination Right? (2/2)

In the end, Kazuya didn't say anything, and the two of them just went to sleep. Lyn was not able to rest very well since it was the first time he didn't sing her to sleep. Okay, so he sucks at singing, but normally Kazuya would do that or tell her a story, or tell her how much he loves her. The last one, though, she keeps telling him to stop doing since it's embarrassing for her.

”You suck.”

Lyn's eyes twitched in annoyance, as she ignored the voice from behind her. Today she decided to wake up early and get some practicing done. Who would have thought that Rhys was awake too? For the past hour or so, she had been practicing; however, she was missing a lot more than usual. Her thoughts remained on what occurred the other day. It was not Prince Erelands arrival that unsettled her, but

”Gee, your so helpless today,” Rhys stood up, and soon Lyn found him right behind her, ”Remember where you're looking,” feeling his breath on her ear. She leaped back and immediately held the bow up and took a defensive stance.

”D—don't get so close to me,” she stuttered. After what happened before, she will not her guard down.

Rhys deeply sighed, ”Look, Princess, what do you take me for?”

”A pervert.”

”Yeah, yeah. But really, do you genuinely think I'd touch you in a place like this? There's no mood; it's boring,” Rhys said. A place like this? Lyn looked at her surroundings again. Despite how desperately they tried to cover it up, the inn garden was hardly what one would call beautiful.

So, 'Setting' is vital to Rhys?

”That's better,” he smiled and let her go.

He really tried nothing. Maybe she's overly self-conscious for nothing. After a few more successful shots, she catches a glimpse of Kazuya who was stepping down from the porch. Her eyes brightened, and she made her way over to him.

”Morning my cute and adorable Lyn.”

Ah, he's back to normal? Thank goodness.

”Morning,” she reached over and ran her hand through his messy hair, ”You should at least brush your hair properly.”

”Today, I left it that way on purpose.”

How foolish.

Lyn gently pressed her lips on his cheek, ”That's your punishment; don't be so lazy.”

Kazuya laughed, ”Your red as a tomato.”

”It's because I'm hot,” Lyn protested. But she knew how stupid it was. This may not be the central area of the Snow Kingdom; however, it's still part of it. It was anything but 'cold,' however considering how she's been training and breaking a sweat. Kazuya said nothing more; he reached over and touched her forehead.

”Did you eat breakfast?”

”Not yet,” she shook her head, ”I was waiting for you,” Lyn added. The moment she said those words, Kazuya smiled warmly at her.

”Let's get something to eat first and discuss our next plan.”

...

- Breakfast Hall -

Considering the commotion that happened a few days back. Instead of having the food delivered to their rooms, the three of them made their way to the breakfast hall. They slowly walked, so by the time they reached it, the breakfast hall was open. After picking out their food, they brought to their table and sat down.

”So, Prince Ereland is supposedly staying in the government quarters at the edge of town. It's quite far out from everything, so even if we were to cause chaos, he wouldn't notice for a while,” Kazuya explained as he bites into the slice of bread. Kazuya's plate today consisted of western dishes, like bread, beans, sausages, and eggs. That surprised her. Usually, unless it was meat, Kazuya mainly ate eastern meals.

”Kazuya, you have a plan already?”

Kazuya smiled, ”Well, I came up with something.” Lyn nodded as she continued to eat her noodles. Kazuya is impressive, ”My Lyn is amazing too,” she blushed, realizing that he could read what she was thinking.

”You two quit with the flirting, don't you get tired?”

”Hmm, I wonder, what do you think Lyn?”

'Don't drag her into this,' Lyn thought. She could see Rhys sending her harsh glares from across the table. Before she could open her mouth though, she caught a glimpse of Kazuya's expression. Kazuya asked Rhys that question normally, but Lyn sensed something wrong again. It can't be, it's just her imagination, right?
