Chapter 231 - Stagnant as water (2/2)

”What is it?”

”That is, a rather personal question…about the banquet. Are you not uncomfortable…?” Kyouya asked.

Ah, that's right. He accompanied her the last time around so he must have overheard what that person said.

”Well, to be honest, I can't say I'm pleased about it. I mean ' the attempted murder scene, aside, there's also a love scene with Rhys,” she trails of. She's pretty sure that person didn't mean any harm with that. Because in truth he really is a nice guy. He probably noticed it, what was between her and Rhys. Noticing it and doing something like this may seem cruel. But that may be the reason why.

During the banquet, she has to put on a play, a performance. It was her sister's suggestion.

”On that matter, is Kazuya truly in consent?”

”Yes. Although I haven't asked him about it since then, I know that even now he will still say the same thing regarding the matter.”

”And what if that isn't the case?”

Lyn blinked, ” You sure are asking a lot of questions today.” Kyoya isn't the talkative type.

At that, a sporting red appeared on her guard's face, ” Pardon me; I did not mean to offend you.”

Lyn merely shook her head, as a soft chuckle escaped her lips, ” I'm not mad. How to put it? I've already considered the possibility that he's actually just keeping it to himself and isn't saying anything to me. But even so, I will go through with both those scenes, and I'll get through them both because the me who is acting right now is very cute. I, have always disliked myself. I never once saw anything good in myself. Everyone else is so much more talented than me, what's a person like me doing here? I didn't like it. The vile and corrupted me. The one that's always surrounded in darkness. Everyone else could shine so brightly, and yet I was always radiating darkness and bringing misfortune to those that I care about.”

All she does is cause the people she cares about to worry about her. All she does is cause them pain.

”Princess Lyn.”

”I, like the present me despite what everyone else says.” Even though she doesn't feel as though much has changed. She knows that there is something different now, ”Indeed there will certainly be critics after it's shot and it will be a topic for a while. But I am prepared for it.”

The ugly woman in the veil, what sort of performance will she put on?

”I see. Your resolve is strong; indeed, I can say why you're at the top.”

Her sweat dropped, ”What's with that indirect way of pressuring me?”

”It's nothing.”
