Chapter 132 - Princess Lyn and Prince Allen P2 (2/2)

”You're silly. .Allen,” she trailed off and recalled something, ”Why speed up the engagement if you're going to give me away to another man?”

Allen's gaze darkened, and Lyn paused, ”My family?”

”They believe it's best that you leave the Mist Kingdom quickly.”

Ah, so that's it. Lyn didn't know why she was so surprised by this, is it because things have been going so well since Kazuya came?

Things have been going too well that she forgot how nobody other than her father cared for her. Eldest brother only pays so much attention to her because she's useful. That man is kind to those who have skills that he can make use of. As for Kotaro? Her second brother, she's very cautious towards him. It always felt like he was plotting something, with the way he clung onto her.

Her thoughts broke off when Allen scooped her up in his arms, ”I shall take you to your room; you must rest beforehand.”

”There's not enough time.”

”Lyn, things are set up already. So the moment it hits 11 PM we can start.”

”Okay,” Lyn trailed off, as Allen started to walk, ”Where are you taking me?”

”My room is nearby.”

Lyn's cheeks flushed red, 'Wait, what?'

”Do not fret dear, do you take me as some sort of beast? I will not touch you unless you wish for me to do so.”

”I---I know,” and she did. If Allen wanted to take advantage of her, he could have easily done so a long time ago. He didn't have to wait until now. They just had that talk though about producing an heir. So Lyn was still slightly out of it. When they first met, Lyn wanted to make sure she knew what type of person he was.

That's why she asked him about it. Speaking about it, after all, that's happened felt awkward. But, Lyn wanted to make sure. Still, Lyn looked at him. A man this handsome, intelligent, and talented. Why doesn't he have other girls?

When they were first engaged, and she was old enough to speak, Lyn was always self-conscious. She quickly understood how much of a good catch Allen was, so Lyn was curious why no other rivals stepped up. Usually, men like Allen have other women.

Latter on Lyn learned that Allen never had a girlfriend before, let alone another marriage candidate. 'Maybe that's when she started to get confident,' Lyn thought. Because she was the only female beside Allen, Lyn thought that eventually, he would fall in love with her. However, it was not like that at all. Even after so many years had passed, Allen did not change his attitude towards her. He treated her the same as when they first met.

Though his attitude's softened, and he's no longer stiff as a brick when interacting with her. He still acts so indifferent and cold.
