Chapter 197 - Stupid (1/2)

”By the way, you were there, weren't you? During that banquet. I heard some very interesting things,” Lyn finished bandaging up and treating his wounds.

”My bad my bad. I failed to mention it”.

”You failed to mention it you say....” her eyes twitch in annoyance. As a huge purple flame, aura surrounds her, ”Kazuya!”

”Sorry, sorry! Don't do that. You will ruin your cute face.”

Lyn sighs, ”Honestly; it surprised me. I always thought you were an amazing guy and all. But I didn't expect you to belong to know people like that..you don't wear the earring after all.”

She really had been shocked. Later on, when the banquet proceeded, more and more guests flooded in. After greeting her own guests, Allen led her to the corner of the room and said he wished to introduce his family formally. Lyn could remember how nervous she felt then and her heart was beating the entire time. She was super nervous, that was until a familiar voice called out to her and said her name.

Later, when Lyn turned to the source of the voice, she found that it belonged to the grinning fool.

”I went through all that trouble to part ways with you and yet...” Lyn sighed, ”Well, forget it, but I'm just surprised. You know so many people.”

Kazuya smiles, ” Are you curious about that?”

Lyn averts her gaze when she saw the look in his eyes. ” Not really....when we first met, your ear was bleeding after all, and you were on a tree... I'll guess it fell off then.”

”That so?”

This guy really does do everything at his own pace. But...he kind of reminds her of father. That's probably why she became close to him.

Suddenly Kazuya reached out and brushed his hands against her hair in a similar fashion to what Allen did yesterday. Yet it was different, and Lyn

”What's wrong, Kazuya? Are you acting like an idiot again?”

”Aside from our late rendezvous, we won't be able to see each other for a while, huh?”

”Ah-huh, I have to sort things out. According to my father, they are preparing to reveal my identity. So, I have to go around greeting some officials for a while.”

”Don't tire yourself out, and dress warmly. You catch a fever easily.”

”Kazuya, you have to eat,” Lyn didn't know why, but tears started to fall from her eyes.

Kazuya laughed, ”I wonder what we are doing right now.”

That's true, aren't they acting very weird right now? Still, ”It's your fault. I'm like this.”

”My bad. But didn't I send you a surprise?”

A surprise, huh?

At the mention of the painting, she began to rub her teary eyes. ” Idiot. What on earth were you thinking?”

”I thought I'd be able to see a rare expression on your face. Is that wrong?”

Gee, just because of that?

Lyn knew that there were clearly other reasons and that he was just having fun teasing her. But right now, this is all that mattered. That she would be able to see him again, even if it's just for a little while longer. Being able to talk to him like this made her feel so very happy inside because this person has always changed the dark and negative feelings inside her heart, into something so much brighter.

Kazuya suddenly moved away slightly, ” But well, you could say I've been feeling restless a lot lately.”
