Chapter 218 - I love... (2/2)

”Yes.”

Lyn watched Kazuya from the corner of her eyes. To think they actually slept together, it felt surreal to her. But there was no doubt that they did it. Thinking about it now, Lyn felt incredibly embarrassed. What was she thinking? She's still young, sixteen years old. What will she do if she gets pregnant.. No, Lyn shook her head. The chances of getting pregnant the first time is low. Besides, didn't Reiji say something about it before? Since she uses darkness powers, her body differs from other people.

Now that they've slept together, now that she has seen Kazuya's body - Lyn knew she would no longer be able to act so brave and bold towards him anymore. Those things she did like cuddling up against him, and clinging to him.

'Aaahh,' Lyn screamed internally in her head. She's so embarrassed! How could she have been so bold before? What was she thinking? Did she really think that she could remain calm and normal with him after doing something like that. Even now Lyn could remember it clearly, the sensation of Kazuya's body on hers. That was the first time she saw such a serious look on Kazuya's face.

So he can make those kinds of expressions too, Lyn never knew. From now on she would see more sides of him? She wants to see it, learn about the man she just gave her body too. Lyn peeked at the blanket, it sounds like he's cooking too. In the study Princess Eva gave her - there was a small kitchen, and it was right beside her bedroom too. The study and bedroom are attached together.

”Lyn?”

”Ah yes?”

Kazuya smile was as gentle as ever, ”Put this on, you'll catch a cold.”

Realizing how unsightly her current appearance was, Lyn quickly accepted the garment in his hands. He's a bit too casual about this, isn't he? Or maybe he doesn't feel the need to get embarrassed since everything is supposed to be natural for him.

..

After getting dressed, Lyn stood up. Her entire body felt weak all over. But she was able to walk now. ”What are you making?”

”Rice porridge. It's cold isn't it?”

”Eh, I want some meat.”

Kazuya chuckled, ”You'll get some Princess, this is just the side dish.”

Realizing that she would only get in the way. Lyn quickly left his side and returned to the desk, she picked up the book she got from Allen's study earlier and a pen and paper. She took out the reports he gave her and quickly started to work. The work Allen gave her was always a lot more complicated and detailed. But Lyn liked reading through it, she liked that she was able to gain new knowledge and insights. In recent years Allen has allowed her to help him with his work.

At first, Lyn thought Allen simply allowed her to help because he disliked conversing with her. Whenever he came over, they naturally had to spend time with each other since it would look strange if they didn't. So Lyn often went to his study and stayed there. Naturally she didn't have anything to do, other than sleep, stare at him and well clean. But the last thing Allen didn't like, 'You are a Princess, at least conduct yourself in that manner.'

Perhaps due to his annoyance, Allen finally gave her work to do. But even then, Lyn found it unusual. Why does a Prince like Allen have so much paperwork? Later on Lyn learned that he was the favored one for the throne and that he was basically running the country himself.

”You do things like this too, huh?” Kazuya said as he settled the tray of food beside her.

Lyn nodded, ”Ah-huh. While I'm only a Princess in name, there are some duties that are assigned to me. But of course it's within the boundary of what's acceptable for me to see,” Lyn explained, ”And I often help Allen with his work. Other than that, my knowledge is quite limited.”

”Is this something you're working on from Prince Allen? This doesn't seem to be censored.”

”Eh, it isn't?”

Kazuya nodded, ”Look, there are even reports on the deaths from the battlefield. This isn't something one should show somebody from another nation, married or not.”

Now that Kazuya mentioned it, indeed the work Allen gave her was awfully detailed. In contrast to the ones she gained from eldest brother. But Lyn always thought that it was a coincidence. In the past Lyn recalled demanding Allen to help her out, to at least supply her with knowledge. It turned out this entire time he has been doing just that.
