Chapter 224 - Protect her smile (2/2)
Lyn turned and looked at the person puzzled, ”Allen? Shouldn't you go to the meeting?”
”They told me to come with you.”
Lyn laughed, ”I'm okay. I can handle this much.”
”Please allow me to assist.”
”Okay.”
'They seem to be getting along,' But isn't that expected? The two of them are engaged after all.
”Lyn, I shall attend the meeting after all. Have this man help you.”
”Ah, wait Allen?” Lyn called out. But it was already too late. Kazuya awkwardly walked over.
”So much for our plan.”
Lyn smiled, ”I don't think we're good at staying away from each other. Since your here, help me out. I have to bring these books to the Royal Library.”
”Yeah,” Kazuya carefully took the majority of the pile from her hands, and Lyn blinked.
”I can carry some more.”
”No, I'll do it.”
”I wonder why the men around me have to act so brave.”
”We don't want your pretty hands to be damaged, that's why.”
Lyn rolled her eyes, ”I'm capable of this much,” Lyn reached over with her free hand, ”Kazuya, you have bed hair.”
”Yeah, I didn't fix it.”
”I'm sorry I left, I was gone for far too long. I didn't want people to start looking for me and put the blame on you.”
Kazuya smiled, ”There is no harm in them worrying. I have the potential of winning their Princess's heart, don't I have the potential of stealing her away too?”
”Silly,” Lyn trailed off, ”People say that Mother will reveal my identity soon.”
A knowing, 'ah' escaped his lips, ”I heard those rumors too.”
”But, I don't think it's time, and I can't be happy about it either.”
”If she reveals it now, it would feel like she was taking advantage of the situation, right?”
Lyn nodded, ”Yes, that's why..”
”For somebody who isn't close with their Mother, you sure are doing whatever you can to defend her.”
”Because I don't wish to harm those dear to me.”
Even though they hurt, she is saying these words. Then again, Lyn is not the type of person who holds a grudge against anybody. Though most people in her circ.u.mstance would think that way, normal people would seek revenge.
