Chapter 280 - Dreams (1/2)

Ah, now that she thought about it. Didn't Kazuya tell her once before? When you have found your dream, you must inform me first... Her dream, ever since they first met - at least met again, it felt like she knew what it was. She wants to save the world, to save the Empire as Lyn. But as more time passed, Lyn realized that things were not that simple. Even if she were to abandon everything, people would ignore her. The civilians don't have any power, even if they all come together and overthrow the nation. It's useless since they could not govern the place.

Her dream... Although she said those words to Kyou, perhaps even now there is still something else she desires. Her dream, huh? Her thoughts broke upon spotting the small distance between the two of them. Uwaa, when on earth did he get so close? ”What's the matter?”

”Nothing you have already shown me something good so,” Lyn finished tying the bandage up. Her gaze fell on his other arm that got hurt earlier because of the thief. He keeps getting injured; this is no good at all. The more she looked at him, the more he smiled at her.

Rather, isn't it cheating? That smile? ”Lyn, close your eyes and hold your hand out.” What? Although she was confused, she still does so. Feeling his warmth brush against her hands, something is in her palm?

”You can open your hand.”

Sumire slowly does so, only to find several colored sweets in her hands, ”Sweets, will cheer anybody who is depressed up. These are my favorite eastern sweets. It seems you brighten up when given sweets...”

How kind of him, he even noticed something like that about her.

This sparkle..

”It reminds me of you Kazuya. So very bright.” Lyn knew that she sounded like an idiot right now. But, whenever she is around Kazuya, she always ends up acting so very foolish.

It certainly is so very bright and beautiful. Lyn could feel her heartbeat rising, Kazuya's gaze softens, ”Have some.”

Lyn lifts the sweets in her hands, ” It would be such a waste..”

”Then, I'll feed you.”

At that comment, Lyn immediately panicked, and she placed a sweet inside her mouth.

With this rising heartbeat, and this newfound sparkle. This world filled with thousands of colors that can act to represent people's dreams. She will find it because for sure she isn't content with just this position.

”I have to ask though, what did you talk about with Prince Allen?”

Lyn looked at him puzzled; she didn't think he would ask her about it. ”It was nothing important; I asked him about the war and stuff. Then he brought me somewhere. I think he was trying to get to know me better..” she replied vaguely. Lyn didn't want to tell Kazuya about the secret passageway or those magic spheres. While she may trust him, she could not just blindly expose her family's secrets.

If it's the affairs regarding the Kingdom, okay fair enough, but her family's secret passageway? What if their two sides end up fighting against each other. Would she be stupid enough to risk it?

Her thoughts broke off when she felt Kazuya get closer to her, ”Kazuya?”

”Lyn,” he mumbled. ”I really am serious about you.”

Wait, uhh? Lyn looked at him dumbfounded, what is he talking about now? Lyn hears a knock on the door and stood up. Maybe it's Pupillam? She said she would drop by and check on her. No sooner had she arrived at the door; however, she felt Kazuya's presence behind her. He slammed his hand on the door and stopped her from opening it.

Lyn could feel his breath against her skin, ”Kazuya?”

”Lyn, I love you.”

His strong arms circled her from behind, and Lyn felt her heartbeat speed up. On the other side, she could hear Pupillam's voice.

”Princess? Are you alright?”
