Year 40XX Wind Kingdom Main Castle

”Is the king of the Mist Kingdom interested in Allen?”

His grandmother nodded, ”He expressed great interest, getting our children engaged.”

”How old is his daughter?'

”A newborn.”

Allen thought about the girl he met not too long, they must be talking about that girl.

”But she's still a lady, what kind of lady is she? What do the mages say?”

”She may be young, but she will grow up to a beautiful, subtle, and wise woman.”

Present

And so here he is, so many years later. He is supposed to be her fiance, and yet.. Allen shook his head. 'This is not the time.'

The palace people, the elites around him, he could not trust their words. But Allen did not want to dismiss their words completely as lies. That's why he went to find out for himself, even though meeting before the engagement banquet was not permitted. Allen wanted to get a glance at least; he didn't think that he would get more than a glance, but speak with her. When they first spoke to each other, she did not know of his identity, and that may be the reason why she was able to talk so freely.

The next time they met, she was like a completely different person.

Allen wondered if Lyn understood? How long has he wanted to touch her? How long has he wanted to feel her bare skin pressed against his? When he realized that he was capable of such thoughts, it startled him and yet he didn't discard it; since under the surface, he is still a man. The desire he has to want to touch the woman he loves is not wrong at all, even if that woman already belongs to another person.

That hand, it was supposed to belong to him. The one who is meant to stand by her side now is him. Allen wished to be rid of such thoughts, but whenever he is left by himself, he couldn't help but think about it. How was he supposed to prepare for this? How could he have foreseen this happening? His beloved fiance - who he has been engaged with since she came to this world snatched away after sixteen whole years.

It baffled Allen when he heard the news. At first, he thought people were joking around with him. The ones who know about Lyn made a habit of teasing him regarding the girl after all. However, it was not like that at all. Lyn fell for another person. Most people in his situation wouldn't be so worried, at the end of the day they will still get married.

Lyn will still be his wife. She can have her fun for now, but once they are married, she will belong to him. Allen knew all of this, but it didn't make him any happier. How could he be happy knowing that his fiance loves another man?
