Chapter 136 - My sisters boyfriend..? (2/2)

”You look like Lyn,” the man murmured.

Shaarya's eyes widened at his words. It could be any Lyn, but in the Empire, how many people have that time? Seldom any. That's why when those rumors came around. Shaarya knew those people were talking about her sister. While her second sister lives an isolated existence from the world. There are a selected few who knew of her existence. After all, sister is engaged to the Wind Kingdom's Prince Allen. Rather than talk to eldest brother about her sister, maybe it would be better to ask him.

Eldest brother Andrew cares about sister, that much Shaarya could understand. But at times he would get the same look in his eyes that Mother and First sister have. Shaarya didn't want to take any risks. Ever since she moved out, Shaarya took careful measures so people would not find out who she is. However, right now, she will take the biggest risk ever.

”Princess Lyn of the Mist Kingdom?”

The man seemed equally surprised but then nodded, ”Yeah, do you know her?”

”She's my sister.”

Shaarya knew this was an even bigger risk. There are a selected few, who knew of her sister's existence and there are those who have stumbled upon her by accident, or those who eldest sister hired. While this man looks like a friendly person, she can't be too judgemental.

Her thoughts broke off when she felt his hand ruffle her hair, a bright smile on his face. ”I thought as much, Shaarya right? I came here to rescue you.”

Ah--- Shaarya's eyes widened, 'what a gentle person,' his words and his eyes. The girl immediately understood that this man meant no harm. She took a deep breath, ”And you are?”

”Kazuya.”

Shaarya froze when she heard that name. While she may not have paid a visit home in so many years. Shaarya corresponds with her brothers often, especially second brother Kotaro. Well, it's more one-sided. He's always sending her letters. Due to his persistence, Shaarya simply ignored them.

The recent letters, however, Shaarya replied to them instead of ignore. According to her second brother, there's a man named Kazuya who became her sister's boyfriend. When she heard the news, Shaarya thought he was just joking around with her.

Boyfriend? Her sister? It's impossible. Shaarya knew the case with the Sound Kingdom; things are very delicate now. Even if her sister befriended them, she would not cross that line. So either the man named Kazuya seduced her, or the two are just friends. This man is very kind, there is no doubt about it. But, perhaps underneath that smile, he has hidden motives?

”Um, pardon me, but what is your relationship with my sister?” Shaarya asked. It can't be that 'Kazuya,' right?
