Chapter 96 - The Secret Healing Ability of the Royal Family (1/2)

After announcing the Prince disqualification, and him being the winner. They offered to get him the best medics; however, Lyn said there was no need and dragged him away. His whole body still felt sluggish, and honestly, he felt like he would pass out. He may be used to poison, but that did not mean he was utterly immune to the effects. Currently, he was experiencing extreme side effects. Eventually, Lyn let go of his arm; they found a quiet spot outside the arena.

”Lyn? What,” Kazuya paused in mid-sentence when a bright light emerged from Lyn's hand. His eyes widened when he saw his wounds slowly being healed. She moved her hand towards his head, and after a few moments, he felt something leave his system, and the dizziness died down. As he regained his vision, all he could do was stare at the girl, shocked while he suspected something of the kind before. The Elders back home mentioned it. However, Kazuya didn't think that Lyn would actually show him.

Lyn trusted him, and he believed her. Unlike before, when he first came here, things have changed, and he even confided the whole details of the plan to her. But even then Kazuya didn't think the girl would expose this secret.

”Kazuya?”

He pulled the girl into his arms and held her tightly, ”I won't tell anybody.”

”En, I know,” Lyn leaned into his embrace, ”I know, I trust you. You're so warm Kazuya, can we stay like this for just a bit longer?”

The girl's innocence scared him at times. Why does she trust him so much? Why does she love him? She trusts him, 'I can't betray her trust, no matter what happens,' Kazuya thought. Kazuya checked the area earlier; this place is isolated. Nobody could have possibly seen or heard them. He didn't hear any approaching footsteps with his powers either.

Kazuya held Lyn even tighter, and the girl cheerfully laughed, ”Ah, you know I was thinking Kazuya. Maybe we could go on a few dates?”

”Dates?”

Lyn nodded, ”Dates.”

....

- Inn -

”Say, Rhys, what would be a good spot for a date?” Kazuya asked. They briefly returned to the inn since Lyn said she wanted to get changed. The two of them patiently stood and waited at the entrance.

Rhys exhaled deeply, ”You have some guts asking me this.”

Kazuya sent him an apologetic look, ”But, this is urgent.”

”Lyn likes scenery, doesn't she? And flowers. There's a lot of that in the edge of town,” Rhys said.

Kazuya paused, 'He really has been watching over her,' Kazuya thought. He wanted to have a talk with Rhys regarding his feelings for Lyn. But it seems like there is no need. Rhys will not hold back anymore. If he messes up in any way, Rhys will use that opening to get to her.

Lyn emerges from the inn entrance wearing a pretty looking cloak, ”Thank you for waiting.”

'Wish, she looks cuter than usual,' Kazuya thought as he walked over to her and grabbed hold of her hand. Lyn beamed happily, ”Ah, where are we going? Will we ditch Rhys soon?”
