Chapter 148 - Questions (2/2)
Ever since she met this person, it felt like her heartbeat is continuously like this. Constantly a mess.
”Lyn, you seem nervous.”
”Aaagh, quit it!”
Kazuya continued to laugh.
It's not fair that he can tell these things about her. But, Kazuya is the only one who properly tried to learn everything about her. Over the years, many people have been attempting to extend their hand out towards her to open her heart. But seldom have achieved it. People try, but once they realize it is too difficult, they give up.
”I have something I want to ask you Kazuya.”
”Hm?”
Lyn took a deep breath, ”Why me?” she asked, ”I know I'm part of your mission, but other than my powers. Your elders could have picked my sister. If it's a Union with the Mist and Sound Kingdom you want, or to take over the Mist Kingdom. Allying yourself with my sister is the better move.”
Why chose a Princess with no power? One who lacked knowledge about the world?
Kazuya did not reply right away, and Lyn knew he was considering her words, ”You make a point there, and I even suggested that. But,” Kazuya shook his head, ”The elders probably determined whether they could use Princess Lethia when she came over to visit. Your sister will betray her country for more power. That's the difference between you two.”
Lyn looked at him with a confused look in her eyes, ”If it's like that then...”
Kazuya shook his head, ”Well, I think you understand by now. Directly asking Prince Andrew anything will only get us shot down.”
”Ah-huh, it's suicide.”
But, if the Sound Kingdom presented their case properly, then not even brother would turn them away. ”Did you just want a wife?”
Kazuya scratched his right cheek awkwardly and looked away, ”For some reason, the elders want me to get married.”
”To control your powers?”
”They wanted to find someone compatible,” Kazuya nodded, ”So yes to control my powers. I need a wife to act as a tranquilizer.”
”But then,” Lyn trailed off, ”You should know, right? Our abilities aren't compatible with each other,” rather maybe it was just her. But whenever they used their powers at the same time, there seemed to be a conflict of some kind.
”It's not that they aren't compatible. You simply don't know how to use it properly. Actually, our magic is quite similar to each other. You just don't see it yet.”
She doesn't see it? But Lyn supposes that made sense. If it's like that, then she understands the Sound Kingdom elders way of thinking. Lyn was having a hard time just getting rid of the blood. The beating Kazuya received was dire, so for a while, she returned her attention back to healing. Kazuya too was quiet for a short while when he suddenly spoke up.
”Anything else?”
”Kazuya?”
”I don't want to hide things from you anymore. The more things I hide, the more strained our relationship becomes. I want to be more honest with you Lyn.”
