Chapter 187 - His story (1/2)
To receive a scolding from Pupillam was already something not new. Pupillam often scolded for acting careless and in her words thinking without using her head. Despite all the scolding she did daily, Lyn knew how much the girl cared for her. To the point that it's suffocating.
”I must ask you to refrain from taking such reckless actions from now on,” Pupillam lectured, ”I mean I know I've warned you and reminded you countless times over the last few years. But, let me repeat it. Acting so carelessly in front of the opposite gender, your behavior, and conduct..”
Lyn sweat fell, here she goes again with the scolding. Currently, they were in the waiting room, Kazuya said he would go ahead and see if the person he wanted was inside. Lyn felt uneasy letting him out of her sight, but Rhys said he would come along too. Lyn did not understand why, but since Rhys would be there, she felt more reassured.
”While I'm used to your behavior, please restrain yourself in front of other people. Unlike me, those people don't have a vow to protect your reputation.”
Those people, huh? She's probably referring to Rhys and Kazuya.
”I understand.”
”Do you really?” Pupillam looked at her with a doubtful expression on her face.
”By the way, now that you've spent time with him, what do you think?”
Pupillam sighed, ”Don't ask my opinion on this regard, Princess. As a subject who serves you, it's only natural that I stay by Prince Allen's side on this matter.”
That's true if they catch Pupillam supporting her love towards another person. People will easily misunderstand, and may even think Pupillam's encouragement is the reason why doesn't want to marry Allen.
”The investigation you did about Kazuya, can you tell me about it?” Lyn hesitated to ask Pupillam this question. But, this was something that had been on her mind for a long time, ”He isn't secretly a Prince or anything is he?” A part of her wanted Kazuya to be a Prince; if he were, then it would be easy for them to get married. But another did not want it; if he is a Prince, there is more chance of him leaving her.
Pupillam shook her head, ”Not like that. But his family aren't commoners. He belonged to a military family. The ..”
Lyn immediately recognized the name, 'Ah, what a coincidence.'
”The family and yours, a prestigious household.”
”You say prestige Princess, but the only reason why I am here today is because of your families kindness,” Pupillam nodded, ”Yes, sir Kazuya does belong to a warrior household. But, unlike mine, his family had prestige from the start.”
”He should have a brother correct?”
”His half-sibling.”
”An illegitimate child, huh?” Lyn mumbled. Such cases are not unusual. But now she understood.
”His mother loved him dearly, but I cannot say the same for his father. ..” Pupillam paused, and Lyn saw her hesitate.
”What's wrong?”
”Remember when the Priest of the sacred church came to pay his respects?”
