Chapter 149 - None of that matters (1/2)
”In the first place Lyn, I wonder why you underestimate yourself so much.”
Lyn blinked, a confused look appeared on her face. 'Underestimate?' She was familiar with the term, but Lyn didn't know why Kazuya was saying that she was using it. But, now that she thought about the definition, she supposes it made sense. Her whole life, she just went along with what people said about her. Instead of trying to prove them wrong, Lyn simply went along with everything. She didn't try to change this. It's not like Lyn gave up on herself, but it was simply because she knew that it made no difference.
”I won't ever leave you alone.”
”I know you've told me.”
”No matter what you are, no matter what is in your past, that doesn't matter to any of us.”
”By us, who do you mean Kazuya?”
Kazuya sighed, ”I guess I can include Rhys there, damn, I don't want to.”
She wonders if that us also included Allen, Father, her eldest brother, and Shaarya. The people surrounding her who have treated her with kindness despite her circ.u.mstances. Unlike most cases, her situation isn't a bad one. Sure she grew up without the love and care of her family, without the status she deserved as a Princess.
Lyn suddenly felt Kazuya pull her into his arms, and she panicked, ”Ah wait your wounds?”
”That doesn't matter now. Let me hug you, let me hold you. I missed you so much, Lyn.”
Her eyes go wide at his words, and she clenched her fist, ”You're the one who kept avoiding me, and whenever we were together, you kept your distance. I'm the one who should say I miss you, why do you keep using my lines?”
”I'm sorry, really, I'm sorry.”
...
After she healed up Kazuya's injuries to a certain extent, the two of them sat side by side on the wall, hands laced with each other.
”So, did they do anything?”
Lyn immediately knew who Kazuya meant by they, and she slowly nodded. His expression turned ugly, and Lyn took a deep breath, ”You understand Rhys well by now don't you? Surely you understood what would happen if you left me alone..with..”
”What did he do to you?”
What did he do? He kissed her but that type of kissing; it was wrong. Lyn shuddered, and Kazuya hugged her again, ”What's the matter? Did he do something bad?”
”He tore my clothes...”
The look on Kazuya's face was already dangerous before, but now she felt a menacing aura surround him, ”Oh? It seems like Rhys doesn't want to live anymore.”
”Kazuya.”
He gently kissed her lips and pulled away, ”I'm sorry you had to go through that Lyn. I will not lie to you and say it will be okay. Rhys has no control when it comes to the girls he wants to per sue, and you seem to be different from all the others too.”
”Kazuya, why are you, two friends?”
