Chapter 184 - Investigation (1/2)
- Underground Cave-
Only three days had gone by since Lyn last saw Kazuya. But she didn't think she would meet him so soon. After that discussion with Rhys, the two of them explored the grounds for a bit. It was no surprise to her when she found that hidden passage. But, what surprised her was seeing Kazuya. At first, Lyn wasn't sure it was him, but when the man used his abilities, she was sure. Lyn immediately rushed over and hugged Kazuya's back.
”Woah—wh-,” Kazuya paused and laughed, ”So you found me,” he turned her around and picked her up. Lyn wrapped her arms around his neck, ”There, there. I missed you as well.”
Only three days without Kazuya and she has missed him like crazy. How peculiar, she's never felt this strongly towards another person before. Then again, she's never experienced love until she met Kazuya.
”Kazuya, did you come here alone?”
”Uh, no actually I borrowed Lyn' s---”
At that comment, a rush of auburn colored hair appeared, ”Sir Kazuya, you know you need to stop running...”
”Pupillam!”
”Princess?!!!”
Rhys deeply sighed, ”Did you find something? Weren't you meant to be in the next town over and you,” Rhys turned to Pupillam, ”Escort Princess Shaarya back?”
”The thing is,” Pupillam bit her lip, ”My original mission was to investigate the Snow Kingdom.”
Lyn blinked puzzled, ”Investi—,” Lyn paused, ”My eldest brother?”
”Yes.”
Her brother is far too cruel! Isn't it enough that he has a lovely lady like Gabrielle by his side, but now he's making use of Pupillam just because she isn't around? Then again, Lyn has never felt possessive of the General or Pupillam, or anyone who serves her. After all, it doesn't change the fact that they are her mother's people. Lyn took a deep breath.
”If it's eldest brother's orders, it can't be avoided. But why are you following to Kazuya?”
Kazuya smiles, ”Well, this actually links in with my work in the next town and also,” he gently kissed her cheeks, ”I wanted to see my cute and adorable Lyn.”
Lyn turned red, 'This idiot,' she thought.
Before Lyn could say anymore, a blade was pointing towards Kazuya. ”Hey, she's mine. Keep your jealous away,” Kazuya said flatly.
”If you two are going to show off, take that elsewhere.”
”Yes, yes, Lyn let me put you down before Rhys goes crazy.”
Oh, Lyn looked at Kazuya with a disappointed expression. Rhys must have noticed since he turned to Pupillam, ”Oi, you come with me. I need a word.”
”Huh?”
”Hurry up.”
Pupillam seemed reluctant but nodded as she quickly left with Rhys. No sooner had the two gone, did Kazuya kiss her.
....
Kazuya has never been a moral man; Lyn has known that ever since then. While Kazuya gave off the friendly atmosphere, Lyn knew there was something different about him.
”Are you angry?” Kazuya asked
