Chapter 134 - Princess Lyn and Prince Allen P4 (2/2)
Lyn deeply exhaled, 'He really won't fight back, stupid,' she thought. Indeed, Allen is very stupid. What
”Aaah, of course, you bring that up now. Sometimes I wonder Allen, how you contain yourself. You're supposed to be my fiance, but you don't get jealous at all.”
A chuckle escaped his lips, ” Do you wish for me to be jealous, Princess?”
”Once in a while, it would be nice, don't you think?”
”Indeed, I cannot deny the fact that it would be pleasant once in a while to show what I am truly thinking. But my dear you would be treading on a thin line if I were to show my emotions more openly.”
Rather, it would pose a fine problem for her if he actually started to show what he was thinking. If he were to display jealousy out in the open, then Lyn doubted that any of the guys who like her could even lay a hand on her. Then again, this was all wishful thinking. While she can't analyze exactly what's going on his mind. Lyn has always been sure of one thing; it's not possible for Allen to fall in love with her.
But, just now he admitted that he's holding back his emotions whenever it came to her? Lyn wondered, what type of emotions it is. Is that the reason why lacks sleep? Because he's holding those emotions back? Lyn shook her head, quit thinking stupid things. Besides, if Allen was going to fall in love with her, it should have happened a long time ago.
”I… can't force you…. You are a free man…”.
At that comment, he chuckles, before she felt his lips on her forehead. 'He's so gentle,' Lyn thought. How come? Why does he have to treat her like this now? It's already far too late for anything to happen between them.
”Rest Princess; you are tired from working so hard recently.”
”Will you be staying with me?” she asked, rather shyly. Lyn realized a second too late, 'What is she doing? Don't act shy in front of him anymore,' it's just natural instinct for her. She hasn't seen Allen act this gentle towards her in a long time. So before she knew it... Lyn was just about to brush it off when Allen placed another kiss on her forehead to reassure her. It was gentle and somewhat different than the one Kazuya frequently gave her, yet it made her feel at ease.
”Mm. Relax, I don't intend to leave.”
Lyn pulled a face, as though she thought about something. It should be okay, right? After debating about it for a few more seconds, Lyn intertwined their hands together, ”Then, I'll be borrowing this hand for a bit.”
”What amusing game is this Princess?”
”It's not a game. But you can call it that if you wish,” Lyn said, ”I can sleep better this way,” she quickly explained. In all honesty, she just wanted to hold his hand. But that's because Lyn seldom held it over these years. If this engagement is going to end, she at least wants to make some more memories before it happens.
They keep talking about the ending, and yet Lyn didn't know how to go about canceling an engagement. This involved her parents too, who could she speak to this matter about? Her thoughts broke when she saw Allen's eyelids close. Her gaze softened, he must be exhausted. He's been restless these last few days. Lyn shifted closer and ensured that the majority of the blanket was on his side.
