Chapter 105 - Unexpected (2/2)

The moment she connected the dots, Lyn confronted Kyou, and he told her everything. While Lyn felt that he only told her because of her status as a Princess, Lyn was grateful regardless.

”You didn't hear it from the person who was betrayed, and that should be your most concern,” Rhys trailed off and sent a harsh glare in Kyou's direction, ”I'm taking Lyn, and you are not seeing her again.”

Before Lyn could even say a word, Rhys was already carrying her out of the room. Lyn could only wave a signal to Kyou, but Rhys intercepted even that. She sighed, 'What a troublesome situation this is,' Lyn thought. Lyn allowed Rhys to carry her away without too much fuss. She didn't see the need to complain.

....

The reason Rhys was angry was supposedly he received an express message from the castle. Apparently, one more person would be joining them on this mission. When Lyn saw the familiar soldiers and carriage, her eyes go wide, ”Ah, um? It's Allen?”

Rhys said nothing, so Fukami answered, ”Yes Princess, Prince Allen heard you were here and decided to come here. He already obtained permission from your brother.”

Lyn deeply sighed, 'So this is as little freedom as she will get, huh?' while she knew that there had to be a catch for her traveling beyond the castle walls, all the way to another Kingdom. Lyn thought they wouldn't be so obvious about it. But it seems like they don't care about that at all.

When Allen stepped out of the carriage, but Lyn avoided looking at him. She didn't know what to say; she hadn't seen him at all since that time, and they parted on awkward terms. It was hard to believe that he was standing here right in front of her, appearing just like the wind - Lyn sighed in her head. What a stupid comparison. But it felt like time had stopped.

”I've come for you.”

As soon as she heard his voice, that familiar cold and arrogant tone, Lyn reacted like she usually would and frowned. After not seeing her for so long, he acts like an arrogant jerk?

”Why are you looking at me like that? After being deprived of my presence, all you are going to do is stare?”

There is no mistaken it; this man is her fiance - the Wind Kingdom's Second Prince, Allen. They were engaged for such a long time, and nothing had ever come between them before. While they weren't exactly in a loving relationship or anything like that, they respected one another.

But since Kazuya came, Lyn has completely neglected him - and since Allen started making those different transactions, he's been neglecting her too before they'd at least spend some time with each other, whenever they see each other. But now? Now they seldom exchange words.
