Chapter 260 - The one true answer (1/2)

Three hours later - Year 4014 Mist Kingdom Central Town - Outskirts

Lyn snuck away when she realized where they were. She figured that she might as well pay a visit.

It's been a while since she last went out in these colors. Somehow it was quite refreshing. After a few turns, Lyn eventually found herself at her destination. As she strolled down and passed several tombstones, she took a deep breath. How odd, despite this place being a cemetery.

There is a strangely peaceful atmosphere around her. Or rather, she spies the hilltop where there appeared to be a huge cherry tree. How mysterious, a cherry tree in winter. Maybe when she has time later, she would visit. Eventually, she comes to a halt stopping at a particular grave.

Lyn crouched down and placed a bunch of flowers in the center, as she lit the candle. In doing so though she spies that the grave wasn't empty and appeared to have a refreshing scent. It's Pupillam's doing, nobody else would go through all the trouble of ensuring there's a fresh scent around a grave.

Sure enough, there were freshly scented candles. Oh sweets and many snack bars, those three came by too...fairly recently from the looks of it. Her sweatdropped when she saw the bun, the General for sure... The book it's brother. But the gift that caught her eye was a single red rose.

That's....her gaze softened, what a fool. If he only told her truthfully the reason why then for sure she wouldn't have left. Because that person has always held her, dear, no matter what happens. No matter how many girls you fooled around with. 'Guess she ought to speak with Rhys later and thank him.' Even though he only found out during one of her mental break down episodes.

As she positioned her hands in a prayer position. Lyn closed her eyes; it felt like so much has happened since she last came here.

Once she finished though, Lyn hears a crunching sound behind her. She turned and saw her friend, ”Gabrielle...”

Gabrielle smiles, ”Lyn, I almost didn't recognize you. It's been a while, hasn't it?”

Lyn sighed and closed her eyes, ”Like that's believable. You've been stalking all my activities.”

”Ehhh? When did I get caught?”.

”From the start. That name was obvious.” Lately, somebody with an anonymous name was going around asking about her. At first, Lyn was worried, but then she quickly realized who the other person was.

”But I believe it suits you.”

The two of them looked at each other before they burst into laughter, ” We both came in our old colors today from the looks of it.” Gabrielle noted. Indeed her best friends attire was head to toe in turquoise while she wore different shades of purple.

”Un. But I'll admit I only went out like this so I wouldn't get caught. If I wore red, then they'd notice.”

”Yet you wore that gem?”

Lyn gaze softened, ”Yeah.”

After all this gem wasn't hers, ' We found this...beside her body. In all honesty, usually, anything left behind by someone who dies from a color group gets sent to the investigation quarters. But the Prince managed to convince them for you. After all, I'm sure she would want you to have kept this.' Gabrielle too seemed to agree with that matter.

Lyn watches as Gabrielle place her flowers beside her own, ”It looks like a bouquet now.”

”Lady Asa always did love that kind of stuff.” her sweatdropped at the memory, ” But to think that we were the only ones that brought flowers..”
