Chapter 206 - Another Mystery (1/2)

Following Morning Year 4014 Snow Kingdom (Central Town)

For the last two-three hours, Kazuya and her were in the middle of serious debate.

A certain indigo haired boy steps forward, and sighs. ”You two have been arguing about this for hours now. You'll annoy the general public at this rate,” this person is Fukami. Kazuya's bodyguard. The entire time he had been following them. Lyn didn't realize at all, if Kazuya hadn't shouted for him yesterday, she would not have known.

The members of the Sound Kingdom, huh? She spends so much time with them, but even then Lyn has learned little about the group. They are meticulous in their tracks.

”Don't worry; nobody is around.”

Lyn nodded, ” Right? Lighten up--,” her sentence fell short when she saw somebody familiar from the corner of her eye.

Fukami saw him then, ”Oh look its Rhys. Good for you, Princess Lyn.”

Gahhhh! There was none other than an angry-looking Rhys making his way over.

”Geh...., quick hide me,” Lyn muttered, as she tried to hide behind Kazuya.

But it was far too late, Rhys appeared before her, and flicked her forehead. ”What was that about hiding?”

”Ite. As I thought you're mad after all!”

”Of course I'm mad, what on earth are you thinking? Why are you so careless?”

”Well..”

Rhys sighed, ”Forget it, don't do something that stupid again.”

”Okay.”

Lyn looked over at him and frowned. 'He's lost weight, and he looks paler,' Lyn thought. Is it because of her? She's a bit worried.

Her thoughts broke off when Kazuya squeezed her hand, ah! She is worried about Rhys, but she doesn't want to upset Kazuya. She can check on him later.

”Where are the others?”

”They said they'd come later, so the Princess wants us to meet her in this location?” Rhys pointed to the map.

”Yes, she left this morning and left the message behind,” Lyn thought they would talk in the hideout. But it turned out that's not the case. Exactly what is that Princess thinking?

Kazuya wrapped her cloak around her, ”Stay in this cute bundle Lyn; otherwise, you'll attract too much attention.”

”Won't hiding deliberately draw more attention?”

”That's where you are wrong. People here keep their faces hidden most of the time unless there is a festival like yesterday.”

”Hmmm, is that so?”

...

Lyn didn't think they could get lost. If she were following directions alone fair enough, but, she looked over at her boyfriend, Kazuya, and Rhys. Even with these two? Then again, the map that was left for them was not easy to follow. If Lyn didn't meet the Princess the other day, she would have thought it was a prank too. Her thoughts broke off when she spotted a familiar group not too far from them.

Gahh. Isn't that the Sound Kingdom Knights? Other than the second Knight, Lyn could spot the third Knight from before. There was also another man there with pale yellow hair and orange streaks.

”Why do we have to patrol today?” Leo whined.

”Quiet, you two always avoid patrols.”

”Because it's boring.”
