Chapter 281 - I really dont know (1/2)
She wonders if it's the same for Kazuya. Her heart is beating so much; her face is probably all red, she's sweating too. Maybe it's just her who feels all these things. Eldest brother used to tell her not to give her heart to anyone since it means completely exposing herself to them. However, when she met Kazuya again, Lyn understood. So this is how it feels to give her heart to another person. The two of them have come a long way together.
”This is bad,” Kazuya said, breaking the silence. For a split moment, Lyn was worried that he found out, he's going to start thinking she is an idiot. Lyn braced herself for the negative remark, but she didn't get it, instead... ”My heart is beating so much.”
At that comment, her eyes widened, ”I think it's my heart.”
Kazuya laughed, ”Nope, it's definitely mine. My hands are all sweaty.”
He's such an idiot. Her gaze softened at his words, and she closed her eyes. She leaned forward.
The two of them remained like that for a few minutes longer. It felt like they were the only ones there in the world. However, that moment broke when they hear the sound of somebody knocking on the door. ”Sir Kazuya, the food you ordered has arrived.”
Food? Lyn looked over at him, and Kazuya laughed, ”Yeah, I wanted to have a meal with you.”
”En, I am hungry.”
….
”Eh, pillar of light?” Lyn asked as she munched on the sandwich. She is glad that the servants prepared light and finger food to eat. These days she did not have much of an appetite.
”Right, we're looking for the users of the twin pillar of light magic,” Kazuya trailed off and scratched his head. ”I figured you'd have a clue since the last time it was seen was in your place.”
A high-level magic user that can enter her place? ”Brother, mentor, Gabrielle…” She immediately froze, ”Ah, there is.”
It can only be one person. But would it be okay to tell Kazuya? Lyn took a sideways glance at her and recalled what happened a few moments ago. Even now, she could still feel his warmth lingering on her body.
”Allen.”
Kazuya almost choked on his food and Lyn quickly passed him some water, which he immediately drank.
”Are you kidding me, why is it him?”
”Um, why is it so important?” Lyn was confused.
”Because,” Kazuya mumbled, ”We need him to set up a barricade when the Phoenix uses her powers.”
”Phoenix?”
Kazuya scratched his head, ”When you hear the words pillar of light, what do you think?”
”A pillar made out of light magic? A beam?”
Kazuya nodded, ”A-pillar is a tall structure that is used to support something. Light magic is associated with purity, kindness, and innocence. Those who use it tend to have a pure heart,” he pulled a disgusted face. ”You're telling me he has a pure heart?”
Lyn sweat fell, she understands where he is coming from. For Allen to use the most beautiful form of magic. 'He isn't a cold guy after all.' Lyn could still remember it very well. When she first met Allen when she was ten years old. He may have acted like that. However, he brought her back to her room, personally when she fell asleep. He's never taken advantage of her over the years too.
