Chapter 138 - A Single Thank you (1/2)

After discussing things with her eldest sister and brother Allen, they ended the call. Shaarya returned to patching up Kazuya's wound. Moments before, when she heard those words, she felt that her whole world had fallen apart. She even looked at Kazuya like he was the enemy.

But, now, Shaarya was calm. It's not this man's fault that her sister likes him. Though she only heard a brief interaction between the two. Shaarya could tell that he obviously cared a lot about her sister. Her sister seemed different too.

Since the call ended, the man named Kazuya was awfully quiet. Shaarya herself wasn't a talkative person, so she usually would not mind the silence too much. But, right now, she had a lot of things she wanted to discuss. According to her second brother's letters, this person has been spending the most time with her sister the last two months.

He should know the most about her sister and how things have been for her. However Shaarya hesitates to ask, she felt like it would be a betrayal to brother Allen.

”How did you get these wounds?”

Kazuya laughed, ”Well, I heard the commotion. Rhys told me how he got someone kidnapped, oh Rhys is my second in command, I guess?”

So, she wasn't just overthinking things they really are the same people.

”So I panicked, getting commoners caught up in our plan wouldn't work. Rhys told me you looked like somebody from an elite family, and that made things worse. Because if you were, then that meant we would have to silence you ourselves personally.”

Shaarya dropped the bandages in her hands then, and Kazuya laughed. ”Don't worry, don't worry, I won't do that now. You turned out to be Lyn's sister after all.”

So if she weren't then, they'd get to her? Uwaah, so scary. Shaarya was under the impression that this man was a friendly person. But just now she felt an awful chill in the air. How frightening! Maybe he is deceiving her sister? Otherwise, why would her sweet sister fall for such a guy? Sweet... Shaarya expression fell, 'Aargh they are the same,' her sister is always smiling and cheerful too. But when it came to the things she wants to protect, sister gets scary like this too.

”I apologize, you seem to have sustained this wound because of me.”

Kazuya shook her head, ”Don't mind it too much,” he trailed off and looked at the balcony window that was now shut, ”They will figure it out sooner or later.”

The pursuers?

”Initially, I planned to leave, but I think it would be better if I stayed. The reason Prince Ereland is still gone is because he's investigating you,” Kazuya trailed off, ”You met him once before too right? Lyn told me. He probably recognized you.”

”But that was when I was a mere child..”

Kazuya shook his head, ”There are traits that don't go away even when you're older. Even if that man is stupid 100% of the time, he doesn't completely lack common sense.”

”Then,” Shaarya clenched her fist, ”Won't it be bad for me if he confirms it?”

”I don't think he will harm you. But considering how he is after Lyn. He will most likely use you as bait to lure her out.”

”Then, what are we supposed to do?”

”I have a plan, but you'll have to trust me.”

Trust, trust this person? Trust the guy who took her sister away from brother Allen. Shaarya hesitated, but then she looked up, and their eyes met each other. This person truly cares for her sister. Even if she is against the two being together, it looks like he's been treating sister well.

Otherwise, why would brother Allen let this man get away scot-free?
