Chapter 121 - I didnt know how much he loved me (1/2)

After hearing such words, Lyn didn't know how to react. What does she do? Her head felt like it was a mess. Lyn thought she already understood the extent of Kazuya's feelings for her. But now? She knew nothing. She didn't know about the sacrifices he made and the reason behind that smile of his. Lyn clenched her fists. It's no wonder he keeps getting injured. Kazuya already proved his strength to people, so none of the palace guards dare to bully him. Even those people dissatisfied with Kazuya don't dare to do anything.

That's why Lyn didn't understand it. Where did all of Kazuya's injuries come from? Whenever she tried to inquire about it, he would brush it aside and distract her with his cuddles. Lyn liked to cuddle a lot, and Kazuya knew that so it was quite easy for him to make her forget her inquires. It's not like she forgot, even when she laid in his arms, Lyn still wanted to ask. But, she never did. A part of her understood that things were not as simple as it looked.

”When?”

”From the start.”

Kazuya would always tell her that it was just an accident. ' I just lost control of my powers for a bit. ' Afterwards, he would drink heaps of medicine, so she never suspected it. Did he drink a lot to regain his strength? Why? Why didn't he tell her?

”Rhys, give me your communicator crystal.”

While they mainly use letters as a form of communication in the Empire. There are those with items called communicator crystals. As the name implies, one could make a call towards a person in real-time using the device. Since it involves using magic, only those with a certain level of magic can use it. When Lyn found out that Rhys had one, she figured that there were still things about this man that she had yet to figure out.

Pushing that thought aside, Lyn looked at Rhys with a serious gaze, ”Please, lend it to me.”

Rhys looked at her, confused, ”Huh, well sure,” he seemed puzzled. But Lyn didn't have time to explain.

She can't use her own crystal since someone's been monitoring it. Since Allen came here, she noticed that the crystal has been glowing strangely. Considering the timing, Lyn is not surprised if he did something to it. Lyn knew she could just wait until they met up with Kazuya again. It's not like he's too far out, all they had to do was walk down the mountain.

However, she wants to hear Kazuya's voice right now. After Rhys said those words, Lyn had a strong desire to see him. Rhys took it out of his pocket and handed it to her; Lyn immediately activated it.

In seconds Kazuya picked up, ”Rhys? What is it? Is she okay today?” even now the first thing he asks about is regarding her. This man loves her so much. How come she didn't notice it before?

”Kazuya... Wahhhh, I want to see you.”

”Lyn?”

Eh? His voice sounds close? Why? Lyn turned around, and her eyes went wide as she spotted Kazuya not too far from her, ”Kazuya.”

”The Uncle at the shop told me to go here to get something. But huh, I didn't think you'd be at the mountains too,” Kazuya said.

That's right, Kazuya instructed for her and Rhys to go elsewhere. But Lyn ended up leading Rhys to the mountain area instead.

”Could it be were here for the same thing, he did say there was tw---” She immediately ran to his arms and hugged him tightly. ” It's only been a few minutes. But huh, you missed me this much? ”

”Wahhh, your a dummy Kazuya. Dummy. Dummy. Dummy,” Lyn repeated. This was the first time she was acting so childish, with somebody else around. But then again, right now, she is filled with so many emotions.

”If you're insulting me this much, I guess you found out. Well, now you know how much I've loved you from the start. You can't doubt my feelings now.”

”Wah, why did you do that? Dummy! Weren't you happy that you were getting along with others, why?”

”I was, and those guys were into the same things as me. It was nice. However, you were more important. Whenever I thought of you by yourself, I couldn't bear it. Whenever I thought of you shouldering everything by yourself, I wanted to hold you tightly in my arms,” Kazuya trailed off, he gently caressed her cheeks, ”Lyn, hey do you love me? ”

”I love you so much! ”
