Chapter 258 - I like you a lot (2/2)
Lyn laughed, ”Um, your very red.”
”This is embarrassing for me. I didn't think you'd say that.”
”You didn't?”
”Because of the thing with Rhys, and well your fiance..”
'These days… she doesn't think about Allen..' Lyn thought. If she were to tell Kazuya that, would he be more relieved? Lyn crouched down, ”Kazuya, are you happy?”
”I'm very happy, but I know that things are still difficult for you. So don't push yourself too much.”
This person is very considerate of her feelings. She supposes Rhys is too, at least ever since Kazuya started acting up. While avoiding her the way he did wasn't the best way. Lyn understood why he did it, right now, Kazuya is very unstable emotional wise.
”Kazuya, you don't want to play outside in the snow?”
Kazuya smiled, ”Well, it's because I almost died in the snow that day.”
”What if I ask you?”
”Aren't you not allowed?”
”Ah-huh, but it's rare for there to be snow in the Mist Kingdom,” or rather it was a first for her seeing snow here. While snow may not be entirely uncommon for people here. For Lyn, it was a first.
”You're curious?”
”I saw snow in the Snow Kingdom. But wouldn't it be different here because of the temperature and magical properties in the air?”
Kazuya laughed, ”Okay, okay. Let's go out and play.”
…..
The snow in the Mist Kingdom was slightly different than the Snow Kingdom. Lyn couldn't quite describe it, but there was something more mystical about it. With each step, Lyn hears the sound of crunching snow below her feet. She looked back at Kazuya, who was slowly trailing behind her and paused.
'He looks miserable; he must avoid snow days a lot.' This must be why she seldom saw him in the Snow Kingdom - it's because he was trying to avoid it. The memories of that blood-stained battlefield. Kazuya showed her, and as one would expect, she didn't like it.
Lyn only saw a glimpse of it; she wasn't present at the event herself. Imagine the feelings of somebody who was there. She walked back over and grabbed hold of his hands, ”You said you'd play with me.”
Kazuya's dim gaze seemed to light up, ”I prefer something else.”
Prefer?
He pulled her into his arms and wrapped his arms around her protectively. ”You were trembling just now, is this better?”
”En, better,” Lyn smiled. It's very comfortable like this.
”Hey Kazuya, since you took the Princess out she might as well join us,” a voice called out.
'Oh, his friends are here.' Is it still fine for her to come along?
”My dear Lyn is cold, wait a bit.”
Lyn peeked at Kazuya, 'My dear Lyn?' Since when did Kazuya talk like that. She feels embarrassed. She buried her face in his arms, and Kazuya combed her hair.
”Kazuya, your becoming shameless these days. What do I do with you?”
”Shameless?”
”Yes!” Lyn exclaimed. Lately, he keeps saying these weird things that aren't like him at all. If Rhys said them fair enough, but Kazuya? It just sounds odd.
However, since it isn't like him, she ends up feeling more nervous.
Kazuya laughed, ”You're very cute, Lyn.”
