Chapter 133 - Princess Lyn and Prince Allen P3 (1/2)

A few more hours left, then again, it's not like there is any use in her counting down. Her part in the plan is very minor. Lyn peeked at the man that lay beside her, 'How unusual,' Lyn thought. It's unlike Allen to do something like this. Lyn thought he would exit the room, but instead, he stayed beside her. Is he sleeping? This must be the first time for her, having a man other than Kazu-- she recalled what happened with Rhys recently and sighed. Make that number two. Since this journey to the Snow Kingdom, Lyn has learned more about the three men who supposedly know her well and have feelings for her.

For a woman like herself who spent the past sixteen years, living such a desolate lifestyle. Other's people would think she suddenly scored big time. However, 'This is too complicated for her,' Lyn thought. At least when she was in love with Allen and Allen alone. There were no other external factors involved. But, now she's suddenly ended up in some unusual love square.

”What's wrong? You must get some rest before you fall asleep during the mission.”

Lyn's cheeks puffed into a pout, ”I won't do something like that!”

Allen reached over and tucked her in with the blanket, ”Rest, I shall do the same.”

”But what if we miss it?”

”Rest assured. I asked Carlo to wake us up.”

But that means Carlo won't be getting any rest, ”It must be tough being the guard of somebody like you.”

”I could say the same towards you. You only have two exclusive guards, and yet you really abuse them don't you.”

”That's rude. I don't abuse them.”

”My dear,” Allen spoke, ”I've heard all the rumors already. Pupillam is caught doing odd errands and whenever she's asked, 'I can't disobey the Princess,' even with no names mentioned. Everybody, well at least those who know of your existence knows it's you.”

But, most of those errands are to do with finding out news about him or preparing a surprise. Because of her circ.u.mstances, corresponding with Allen when he wasn't in the Kingdom was difficult. Most letters in the royal family have to go through a seal of approval from her Mother, and eldest brother. The first one aside, it was difficult with her brother, because he's old-fashioned. He believes that the best way to get through a healthy engagement or marriage is to play it cool. In short, the less interaction, the better.

'Poor Gabrielle,' it's no wonder her friend was having a hard time getting through to him.

The second means of approval is through the royal scribe. But, that person doesn't even know she existed. So Lyn always resorted to using other means to get information on him. If Allen knew the reason why Lyn wondered what he would think, would he call out to her for being unprofessional? She didn't want to risk it.

”By the way, I understand why you left and told me to go ahead earlier,” Lyn decided to change the topic swiftly. She did not wish for him to find out about her foolish actions.

The platinum blond-haired man turned to look at her, his face unreadable as ever, but somehow she could understand what in his mind. ”I talked to Sir Norman. He said he loves me. He was shocked that I'm engaged to you,” Lyn paused, ”It surprised me slightly, I thought everybody knew. That's why when we meet recently he's been acting oddly,” she said softly as she freed her hair from its tight twist, and removed the remaining hair accessories. Her jewel-colored eyes did not leave his face as she continued, ”You knew how he feels about me, yet you said nothing.”
