Chapter 233 - Know your place (1/2)
The various colored lights that surrounded her body surprised her. Despite this strong and intense feeling, Lyn could make out the faces of the others, they all seemed surprised. Lyn immediately understood why. 'She has more power than they all thought.' If that's the case, then the power she holds is it enough to help the people. Even now, she is still thinking such thoughts, though she was the one who told Kazuya those words about accepting one's fate.
..
”That was..”
”Shu, let's regroup.”
Lyn looked over at the two who huddled to a corner. Is it that surprising? Sure she was surprised too. But it was within the range of expectations. The reason why her mother insists on keeping her isolated, why her brother takes extreme measures whenever people find out about her. The actions of the people surrounding her are as clear as day.
”Rhys?”
”Do you want to rest? You look pale.”
”I'm okay, thank you.”
Rhys nodded and sat down beside her. Lyn blinked but chuckled, ”Are you still worried about me? I told you I'm okay, already.”
”I'm worried. If Kazuya took better care of you, then I wouldn't be.”
Lyn's gaze softened, ”You can't blame him. Kazuya's heart is very fragile, you should be nicer,” she trailed off when she saw his annoyed look, ”I understand him very well, it's the same for me. I can't stand to see those close to me suffer and yet not being able to do anything despite having the power to do so. That feeling of helpless, that despair,” she closed her eyes briefly. ”It's a terrible feeling.”
”You don't have to worry about him so much, Im here.”
At that comment, she hears the sound of something snap and saw that Pupillam had snapped a twig. Her sweatdropped, ”Uh? Pupillam.”
”I've been refraining from saying this for a long time. But Rhys, your way too close to the Princess! Learn your place.”
”Why are you telling me that and not Kazuya?”
”That man knows his place.”
Huh? Lyn looked at her aide, confused, and Pupillam covered her mouth, but it was already too late. ”Tell me what he told you.”
Pupillam seemed reluctant but after awhile told her. Rhys was the first to speak up, ”That moron!! Who wants his dammed blessings, I don't!”
Lyn sighed, ”Why does he think that way? I don't care about our status, and Rhys, why are you suddenly a Prince?”
Rhys flicked her forehead, ”What's wrong with me being a Prince?”
”Nothing wrong, but this is the first I'm hearing of it.”
”It's only normal for a noble to be amongst the group the ambassador brings along. While the others have a knight status, and Kazuya is the only commoner. Their standing is low here.”
