Chapter 242 - Research (1/2)

”Well, at the very least, I can relax now. After hearing the answer, I realize I was getting a little worried about this.”

”This puts me in a bind. But well, you decided this. As for Prince Amakaze, let's just let him worry about it himself.”

Pupillam chuckled, ”Shouldn't you focus on your confession to the Princess?”

Following morning Year 4014 Mist Kingdom - Library -

In the end, she and Lord Amakaze parted on such an awkward note. A deep sigh escaped her lips, how come things ended up that way? Pupillam shook her head and turned to the book she was reading.

Top elite members from extended standing traditional families are given a power that is passed down through the royal bloodline. And is the birthright successor to the throne. It appears in the form of a mark.

Pupillam's eyes went wide, as she read the words from the book. In other words, it does not matter whether your born first or later. The ones who have this mark are the rightful successors to their families. She continues to read further.

Legend has it that this power has two types — one type that brings destruction and the other that suppresses destruction. The two powers are destined to co-exist with each other. One cannot appear without the other.

Power of destruction... she recalls it, the first time she witnessed the Princess using the powers of the curse and yet when she uses her element magic - it's far too beautiful. That time she cured that person and stopped him from going berserk. Could it be that both powers exist inside of her? It wouldn't be surprising. Kyoya also said it didn't he? That day she had intended to ask him something when she saw that the lights were off, yet she heard voices inside and saw a small flicker of a candlelight. So she peeked through the window.

Princess Lyn, could it be the reason you haven't taken away our immunity is because you trust us? Or is it really like what Kyoya said, that you no longer have enough time left. Either way, there's a connection, isn't there? Between the immunity levels and those who bear this mark. Although that connection is something, she has yet to figure out. Pupillam exhales, exactly how far did that guy have things figured out? And exactly how far is the Princess still following those instructions?

Pupillam heard all then details from the General, about the Princess boyfriend, about what happened then. Everything. . The only time she ever had peace was that short time. But even then there was an incidence. Princess, why does it have to be her? Why does she have to go through so much pain and suffering?

”I see you're investigating diligently here. But even you need to take a break.”

She glanced up from the book and spotted bright blue colored hair, ”Kyoya... I'm fine; this is the least I can do to help everyone.”

”I see because the boyfriend isn't here you think you can overwork yourself.”

Pupillam averts her gaze, ”It's not like that or anything. But I really am the only one not doing anything. The General has her mission in another town. Rhys and the Sound Kingdom lot, even the Snow Kingdom bunch are following Princess around like a hawk and acting on her instructions. Kazuya is investigating and let's not get started on Prince Allen's household who have had continuous operations.”

”I see,” Kyoya suddenly shifts the empty chair beside her closer. Huh? ”If your going go overwork yourself I might as well accompany you.”

Pupillam blinks, ”But don't you..”

”It's fine, trust me.”
