Chapter 226 - What we cant obtain (2/2)

”Me, right?”

Startled, Kazuya straightened from his seat and looked behind him. He extended his hand out and pulled the owner of the voice on to his lap. Usually, he would be more wary about public signs of affection. But it was practically desolate at this time of day. This place doesn't have many people around, to begin with. The crowds of people that had been at that place last night felt like a dream.

”You followed me, huh? Your really a stalker.”

”Mmm, I'm Kazuya's stalker,” Lyn smiled, ”Can I take a seat?”

Kazuya nodded, and the moment she sat down, he pulled her onto his lap and wrapped his arms around her. ”Sorry, lately I know I've been acting strange. Are you upset with me?”

Lyn shook her head, ”I'm not upset, confused. But not upset. Tell me something Kazuya, do you really like me?”

”I do.”

”But, you won't become my King?”

”Do you want the throne, Lyn?”

”Lately, hmmm,” Lyn nodded. ”I've been thinking; it would be okay even if I got the throne.”

”What a carefree attitude,” he joked. Kazuya knew that Lyn as serious. This girl only saw the situation in the Snow Kingdom, and yet concluded that.

”Kazuya, should we go talk to my parents?”

”Your parents?”

”I don't want to let you go no matter what. But I'm Allen's fiance, and you're engaged too.”

So that's why she had those dark circles. The constant studying aside, she's been thinking these things.

” . ..I have to go see my aunt later, would you come with?”

It just dawned on him that he would have to see his aunt sometime today, to report on the older woman's condition and other matters. ” Turns out she's staying in an inn nearby for work, so I thought I might as well pay the visit now.” His aunt is very persistence in seeing him every month. But due to their schedules clashing, the chances are always low. Since he no longer lives at home, they rarely see each other or cross paths, so the visits are necessary.

It usually ends up with one side sacrificing a day or two of work, so that they'd be able to meet. So when he heard that she was in the area, he gave her a call. It was the first time he ever initiated the meeting since he'd usually wait until she called him. However, his present mood was clear, and although the old woman annoyed him. His usual anger wasn't there, so he figured it would be safe to see her.

”What's wrong? Do you already have plans? ”

”No, but I was just thinking. Wouldn't it seem like I'm your wife?”

He was about to ask her what she means by that when he puts two and two together. True, at this stage. If he brings her to the rare time he has with his mother, it would look that way. But it's not like their parents don't know their closeness. ” She won't misunderstand, relax.”

”Okay, I'll come.”

He began to leave open-mouthed kisses along her neck, as he slowly moving upwards and ever closer to her face. Kazuya nipped at the side of her mouth, ” On second thoughts, let's head back for a while.”

Lyn laughed, ”Your so silly, were outside. People might see.”
