Chapter 140 - Something in this world that cant be seen by others (1/2)

Once the girl was safely away, Allen looked back at the girl with mixed feelings on his face. He didn't know what to say to her. To think she just jumped off his horse just like that. What was he thinking letting his guard down? Maybe because so much time had passed since he last spent some time with her.

”Why did you do this again?”

Lyn laughed, ”I didn't think you'd worry about me.”

”Do not give me that. I have every right to worry about you,” Allen said. But Lyn was right, he didn't know why he was still worried about her. After all, their relationship with each other was only that of people who used to be close — people who used to be together all the time. The person who was his first love; and yet he's already long given up that she would even look his way.

”You would call a situation an accident, I believe.”

Whenever he was around Lyn he always spoke normally, his usual formal tone never slipped through. Whenever he was with her, it was challenging to do so. It is challenging to maintain a facade in front of her.

”I see,” were the only words that passed her lips. For the next few minutes, Allen simply watched her, he took in her appearance. Such fair skin and luscious long black hair, jewel-like eyes, perfect nose, shoulders - she is perfection.

”Why, would you do something like that?” Allen rephrased his question slightly.

”Honestly I didn't understand why I did it”

One of the many things he understood about her before were vague answers are her specialty. ”I didn't understand why I saved that child. I don't understand why I end up taking reckless actions when it comes to Kazuya. After Kazuya knocked me out I woke up, I started to think about many things. He's always constantly getting hurt for my sake. Always fighting a never-ending battle just for me...”

Allen paused, should he tell her? Since it concerns her, she has the right to know, doesn't she? Yet Allen was hesitating, ”That is because.....”

Lyn quickly interjected, ”The council is monitoring me, right? I know.”

Allen blinked, so she knew? Then again, that's not a surprise either. She's always been this way, always like this. ”If you knew you should have said something,” Allen commented. ”That fool has been acting far too carelessly because of you.”

”That's exactly why I didn't, she paused, ”I told you before, didn't I? That I gave everybody the same piece of advice,”

Allen nodded, ”It seems like everyone's been taking those words seriously. Then again, since it came from you, everyone can trust that those words have meaning,” he trailed off. Allen is not the kind of person to believe in philosophical words, and he cannot even hope to understand something like that. After all, words are just words. If you cannot prove it with your actions, is it not completely meaningless?

Those words of his caused the black hair girl to start laughing. ”Yeah, that's probably it. Everyone is taking my words seriously. It's a strange feeling, but somehow I'm glad. Since everyone came together, it's become a lot more cheerful all of a sudden.”

She said those words with a smile, and yet he could sense the loneliness in the girl's words. Even now, Allen could still remember it quite clearly how colds the black hair girls gaze was that time the news of her mothers passing came. What she has always wanted; perhaps a part of him had known for a long time now.

”There is something in this world that can't be seen by others. It is something that can bring out peoples inner selfishness and greediness, but at the same time, it can be used to bring people together. You know that something is definitely something amazing - but for each and every individual it will probably be different, and that's exactly why I'm relieved to hear that there all thinking about it so carefully. After all its different for every single individual,” Lyn said.
