Chapter 192 - Her confession? (1/2)

When Allen saw how she wasn't budging, he chuckled. Stubborn woman, he walked over to the couch and took out a map. The sea, huh? There are many beautiful places like that in the Empire, but Allen has never seen them before. Up till now, he has did not need to see the sea after all.

Still, 'The ocean blue color reminds me of the sky! I've always wanted to see it.'

'Why?'

Allen remembers acting indifferent to the girls' words. Back then, he was only indifferent because he was unsure of what she was getting at.

On Lyn's fifteenth birthday, she mentioned it. During the banquet, she was talking about it. Since he's been busy recently, he almost forgot about it, but he always kept the map around as a reminder. A place like that doesn't sound too bad, although it's most likely just a superstition. It wouldn't do any harm to try. Besides, he can picture it, them two going on a trip together. He's pretty sure she will have a good time. After scanning the map, his lips curved into a smile. This location is under their jurisdiction, Lyn herself said on her fifteenth birthday that she wanted to see the sea.

It seems like it's possible, after all.

'Um, apparently, they said that if two lovers go there together, they will be together forever.'

Now that Allen thought about it, didn't Lyn tell him something like that before? Allen wonders if it's okay for him to take her there. He turned back to Lyn who was laying down. Is she still pretending to sleep?

”I guess if you're sleeping, I won't take you to see the sea.”

Lyn sat up then, ”What did you say?”

Allen smiled and raised the map; he pointed to the place he circled with the pen,

”I already marked our route,” Allen saw her brightened violet orbs, ”You must want to go. I clearly remember how happy you were that day. I promise you after I'm done with work. I shall take you.”

”S--should you not be asking my permission?”

”Are you going to decline?”

Lyn shook her head, ”That's not it. But I doubt our schedule will sync up together.”

While Lyn does not have many duties as a hidden Princess, she still had them.

”That's true. We have yet to receive our schedule for next month, so until then keep it in mind whenever they suggest a day off. I'll cancel my work if it doesn't work out.”

”That really is unpleasant of you. But I can't wait.”

Allen returned to the girls' side and sat beside the girl on the bed. ”Should you not rest more?”

”I'm alright,” she reached over and brushed her hand across his face. The girl's hands always felt delicate to them; they were exactly like glass, ”You need to sleep more Allen, your getting eye bags.”

”You are one to speak.”

Lyn pouted, ”Do you not know how to compliment a girl? How rude!”

Allen chuckled. He wondered when was the last time they had such a peaceful talk and moment with each other. It felt like so many things have been happening between them as of late.
