Chapter 150 - Real Feelings (1/2)

Even if Kazuya didn't reply, Lyn knew. How stupid. His feelings for her have been evident since day 1. Kazuya is the type of man who does not hide what he is really thinking. From, the very start, he had no hidden motives. His mission? He practically confessed it to her the moment they met. Kazuya has never lied to her, while occasionally he hides things; eventually, he tells her everything. This person is different than all the others, different than those who would lie to her face. Different from those who wear fake smiles on their faces, and shower praises

”I told you already didn't I? At first, I approached you because of my mission. But after that night when I saw you in tears, I felt like I wanted to protect you. And the more time I spent with you, I learned a lot about you,” Kazuya's gaze softened, ”Your very careless, you don't act like a Princess at all.”

Ahh, he's insulting her! Lyn pouted, but she didn't interrupt him.

”But that didn't matter in the long run, whether or not you acted like a Princess. You naturally drew people to your side. Even those who dislike you knew better than not to treat you with respect. Is it charisma like your mother? Perhaps, but that doesn't feel right too. There is something different about you.”

”Because I'm different you like me?”

”No,” Kazuya shook his head and took a deep breath, ”I guess I should tell you now. Lyn, I met you when you were younger.”

Ah?

”You probably don't remember it because of what happened with your memories. But, I've known about you for a very long time. Since that day I met you, the feelings I have for you continue growing stronger and stronger.”

So, Kazuya took on this mission because it meant he would meet her again, right?

Kazuya bent forward, and Lyn felt her heartbeat, his lips brushed gently against hers, ”I love you, Lyn, I want to be with you forever. I can't ask you to marry me now because of your circ.u.mstances. But I promise you, one day in the future that day will come.”

M---marry? Lyn was completely overwhelmed right now. How did they end up talking about marriage? Lyn was grateful that this place barely had any light; otherwise, Kazuya would see how embarrassed she was. One emotion stood out to her, though, happiness. Lyn felt so happy.

She wants to tell Kazuya how happy she is... Before Lyn could say a word though; she felt her vision go blurry. Huh?

....

Lyn didn't know how long she slept, but when she woke up, she felt warm. Lyn slowly opened her eyelids and found that she was fast asleep in Kazuya's arms. He used his arm for her pillow. His arm must hurt; she ought to get up quickly. Her body felt sluggish; naturally, it would be since she had such a high fever last night. Lyn doesn't know how Rhys got rid of it. But it must be a temporary measure. It seems like she shouldn't have fallen asleep, whatever strength she had seemed to vanish.

However, talking with Kazuya made her heart feel at ease. Everything she's worried about since he started to become distance with her had completely vanished.

”Hey,” Kazuya said drowsily, ”Better?”

”Ah, did I faint?”

Lyn thought she simply fell asleep.

”Yeah,” Kazuya brushed his free hand, the one that wasn't being used as a pillow, across her forehead, ”You have a fever.”

”I know.”

”And yet you came here, well I suppose that's like you.”
