Chapter 169 - Time (2/2)

At that comment, Lyn rushed over to the window and scanned the grounds. Only to spot black hair by the gate. Her amethyst colored eyes brightened upon spotting her boyfriend. Kazuya! He came to see her, after all. Feeling her cloak being wrapped around her, she spotted Allen with a defeated expression, ”Jealous after all?”

”Indeed, I'll be whining due to jealousy until you get back,” Allen trails off, ” But, for tonight I'll allow it since I got something nice already.”

Huh? What does he mean by that? Lyn, however, didn't get a chance to say anything more as Allen walked away. Lyn didn't bother chasing after him and headed outside.

Upon arriving outside, she rushed over to Kazuya and ran into his arms in hailing his scent. Usually, there would be the scent of cigarettes mixed in. Yet today there was no sign of it, he really does only spoke during the meetings now. He's protecting his voice. The thought of it really did make her happy. ” Your warm Kazuya.”

”Gee. A straight-on full frontal attack, I'm glad to see that I've been missed.”

Lyn laughed, ”Of course,” she's missed him a lot. Even though she saw him earlier, it felt like so much time had passed by already.

His eyes went wide, and yet they softened, ”Silly girl, you're too honest now.”

The two found a somewhat quiet spot, ”Um…so I get that you don't want the other guards and servants staring at you. But why are we in this position?”

”What's wrong with it? You're the one who said you wanted to be close to me.”

She did say that. But won't people get the wrong idea when they see this? Lying down on the grass with the vast sky across them. Indeed, there really is something mysterious about it. ” Was work tiring?” Lyn knew that while Kazuya was unwell, he still had things to do here as the ambassador.

Kazuya closed his eyes, ” Yeah, but when I thought of you such a thing as me being tired completely faded.”

He opens his eyes, a soft gaze on his expression, ” I thought about you constantly while I was working. The entire reason why I'm trying to succeed or the reason why I'm successful now is because of you. You're my strength. ''

Really, who's the one who's become honest? Truly, this person is the one she loves. She really does love's Kazuya, and that's why it's painful.

”Lyn?”

It's so very painful, and it feels like her very insides are being crushed. Ah, at this rate. At this rate once again she is going to … ' Lyn, you shouldn't tell anyone. Don't tell them that it's your powers that are….'. Hurt those that are precious to her. Recently she has placed bits and pieces together, the parts of her memory that were faddy. That's why she already knew even long before that incidence she would end up making a contract.

”Kazuya, kiss me,” Lyn murmurs ever so quietly. Yet the brown-haired boy clearly got the message and brushed his hands against her black locks.

Even if it's for a short while longer.

Please let them be together.

Even if it goes against the promise, we made each other.
