Chapter 278 - Important (1/2)

The measures these people take to protect somebody like her. ”Tell me something Allen, does this mean I can speak with Mother now?” Even though she was a member of the royal family, even she had to be granted an audience to see her own Mother. It was the same for the King - but her father always came to see her.

”Lyn...that's…” She saw his face break out into panic, and she immediately understood.

”Sorry, forget it,” Lyn mumbled.

Even though she told Allen that she would give him a response later regarding this matter, just now she completely gave it away. She walked up to the sphere in the center, ”Even if it's a tool for destruction, it's quite pretty, isn't it?” Lyn decided to change the topic swiftly.

”Is it? I have not looked at it closely.”

Lyn chuckled, ”I didn't think you would. Here, take a look now,” she paused. Would touching one of the spheres in the development stage be peculiar? Just as she thought this, Allen reached over and grabbed one.

It was a blue sphere - and yet if one looked closely, they would be able to see the several different colors. But as pretty as this sphere was, another one caught her attention. It was right at the bottom, a small brown sphere. 'Ah, it's the same shade of brown as Kazuya's eyes.' Lyn looked at it curiously. How mysterious, it's hidden right at the very bottom and yet for her it stood out the most.

Allen reached out for it and passed it to her, ”Thank you,” Lyn thanked him as she held it in her hands.

”That one hasn't been developed properly yet. Anybody could use it, would you like to keep it?”

Lyn's eyes lit up, ”Can I?”

”Yes,” Allen shifted, uncomfortably, ”Can I ask you something, Lyn?”

”What is it?”

”Why do you always look so sad?”

Ah, he noticed. Allen looked away, ”Forgive me, that was too personal.”

Lyn shook her head, ”No, I was a bit surprised. You see Allen how to put it? There was a time when I didn't understand love or emotions for that matter. I wanted people to hear my voice so badly. I'm here, I'm alive - but I didn't think about other peoples emotions. I didn't think about how others felt. But, after I met Kazuya, I felt that something had changed. I understood what I was missing. Love is about treasuring the other person; love is about trusting, connecting. Giving them strength.”

Allen blinked surprised, ”That's quite the declaration.” He probably didn't expect it from her, and neither did she, for awhile she didn't say a word. But when she did, she walked over to the center of the vast sphere.

”It looks like small flickering lights to me.”

”Lights?”

Lyn smiled, ”Maybe this is enough for today, did you bring me here in hopes to understand me more?”

Allen froze, and she chuckled. He's so clumsy with this stuff. ”I'm afraid that won't do,” her smile is weak, ”If you want to get to know me, you'll have to be more direct.”

Lyn sighed deeply, that gathering wore her out. Although she knew she would have to get the conference out of the way eventually. Hard for her to be seeing someone, huh? Even if she is busy, that's not a legit enough excuse even if it was received well.
