Chapter 187 - His story (2/2)
”Ah,” Lyn nodded, ”Back when he was talking about how magic in the church works?”
”I heard that one of the households used, no one of the females in sir Kazuya's household was used as a test subject for new spells. The Lady would often come home covered in bruises. Of course, when the head of the household found out, he made sure to stop these ridiculous acts. But, it left an emotional scar in the Lady's heart. She would frequently be subjected to nightmares of the brutal kind. In the end, the master had no choice but to resort to using dark magic.”
The entire time Lyn remained silent as she tried to process her head aide's words. So, it was something like that, huh? Now she is starting to understand why Kazuya acts the way he does. Or rather, ”It backfired I'm sure?”
”Yes, the effects the Lady suffered from being a test subject, and then the dark magic it caused her health to deteriorate quickly. She slowly lost her beauty and the strength she once possessed vanished. The head of the household no longer paid attention to her and started to see other women.”
”That's sad..”
”It's not an unusual tale. The Lady was beautiful and brave. But, she was still a commoner in the end.”
”In other words, because she lost the traits the master liked, she no longer had any use?”
”That's...”
Then, ”Kazuya must hate nobles,” Lyn mumbled. No doubt, as a young boy, he experienced even more hardship than she imagined.
”Princess Lyn..”
”He probably sees me the same as those who discarded his mother,” Lyn already knew how others treated royals, but this was still painful for her.
Her thoughts broke off when she hears Kazuya footsteps; she immediately got up and hugged him tightly.
”My cute and adorable Lyn, what's the matter?”
”Nothing,” Lyn mumbled. That's a lie, but Kazuya probably won't be able to tell. If Kazuya hates nobles, then she wonders if he hates her too. If he does, it wouldn't be a surprise to her. After all, it is his mission to seduce and then throw her away. But, she wants to believe in his words. Lyn held him tightly.
”This probably isn't the time, but I want to kiss you. Your acting so adorable right now..”
Rhys hits Kazuya across the head, ”Save that for another time. I don't want to see you two making out.”
”Ouch, that hurt. What are you doing injuring my genius brain for?”
”For a genius, you act like an idiot most of the time. Your girlfriend can vouch for that too.”
Kazuya turned to her and flashed a huge smile, ”My Lyn will side with me.”
How is he so sure about that? Though it is true, she would side with him no matter what. Kazuya understands her very well. Maybe he's just putting on an act? No, Lyn shook her head. For sure those words he said to her are real.
