Chapter 282 - Decision (2/2)
Pupillam seems to have understood since she deeply sighed, ”Princess Lyn, I will ask you a serious question now okay?”
”O—Okay?” Her head still felt fuzzy. She could feel her heart increasing; nevertheless, her palms and face were still sweaty. This is the first time she has felt like this before.
”Do you want Sir Kazuya to become your King?”
At that comment, her eyes widened. Ah.. even though she's mentioned nothing about wanting the throne to Pupillam before. Pupillam noticed it, of course, she did. This person has always been very loyal to her - but if she were just loyal, then she wouldn't have noticed.
”Yes, yes, I do.”
The throne and Kazuya… She wants them both. She wants Kazuya to become her King. No matter what happens, her conviction on this won't change. For a long time, no ever since she as whim, she may have already thought. 'This is the person whose hand she wants to hold.'
”Then, I Pupillam Consilario will make sure it happens.”
”Pupillam..”
Pupillam smiled, ”You don't have to worry Princess Lyn. I'm sure you'll be fine, you've already decided what you want to do. Unlike before, you have a goal. The Princess, who has something she is aiming for, is very cool to me.”
...
Once she calmed down, Pupillam passed her some water and snacks. ”I apologize, this is all I can offer right now. Once we get back to your room, Princess, I'll have them prepare a better meal.”
The two of them were sitting down on the steps in the corridor. Pupillam wanted to find a better place for her. But Lyn told her that she didn't want to attract too much attention.
”Yummmy,” Lyn bit into the bun.
”Princess, would you like me to pass on a message to Sir Kazuya?”
”A—bout what?”
”That you'd like to see him tonight.”
Lyn frantically shook her head, ”Please give me time..” If she saw him today, Lyn knew she would make a fool of herself.
”But Sir Kazuya is leaving tomorrow morning.”
At that comment, Lyn sighed, 'That stupid guy doesn't sit still.' She slowly nodded, ”Okay.” Even though she told him she wouldn't meet with him till tomorrow if he's leaving there isn't much she can do.
”Lyn? What are you doing here?”
Ah, Lyn turned to see Rhys, and she immediately looked away. Rhys had just finished taking a bath it seemed. His robes were fit on loosely. ”I'm resting. I'm a bit tired.”
Rhys bent down, and before she knew it, his hand is on her forehead. ”You're tired? Do you have a fever? You should rest--,” Rhys sentence fell short when Pupillam took a few steps forward. ”You again? Remember how I held back before. I won't do it again.”
Pupillam smiled, ”Do you think you were the only one holding back?”
