Chapter 287 - An old friend (1/2)
Lyn shook her head. It seems pointless thinking about these things right now. It's not like things would change. It seems like since they came here, her thoughts are always in disarray. She placed her hand on her forehead; she felt a headache coming along.
Her thoughts broke instantly when Pupillam bows, ”Princess, the person you are waiting for has come..”
The person she has…Lyn immediately stood up, ”I'll get going.”
”Wait, Princess, at least change your clothes.”
…...
Lyn hurries her pace, and upon arriving at the room, she spies a guy with simple golden-colored locks, ”Abeno! It has been a while!”
This man is Abeno, one of the people who helped teach her magic at the church.
Lyn wanted to save her stomach for Kazuya's meal, so she simply sat and watched him eat. At first, Abeno was against it, saying that it did not seem fair for him to eat while she just sat and watched. But eventually, she convinces him.
”Are Master and the others doing well?”
”I am not sure since I have not visited the church in a long time.”
”I've heard you've been going from town to town spreading your teachings,” Lyn said as she played with the cup in her hands.
”Indeed, it is a tiring task. But, people are listening,” his face almost seemed tender as he spoke about his adventures. It seems like over time the people she got to know back then are all changing.
In contrast, what about her? ”Do you miss the church?”
”In a sense,” Abeno nodded. ”In that place, I could have my peace.”
Lyn chuckled, ”It was fairly peaceful. We did not have to deal with the noisiness and gossips of the servants.”
”Such talk was forbidden in the church,” Abeno trailed off and sighed. ”The castle is like the rumors. I've only been here for an hour and yet I've heard so much.”
”Heard so much?”
”They say you're in a forbidden relationship with a Knight from the Sound Kingdom.”
At that comment, Lyn froze. That's what people are saying about her and Kazuya? It's worse than she thought.
”Is it like the rumors say? I shall not believe anything unless it comes from your mouth.”
This person is as humble as ever.
”I am in a relationship, but it is not forbidden. It's normal.”
Abeno smiled, ”Then you have found somebody you could trust.”
Ah…
”Yes.”
”Does he treat you well?” Abeno asked, a serious expression on his face. Her gaze softened, she knew Abeno was asking due to his concern for her.
Lyn nodded, ”He does.” Even though he has a bad habit of disappearing, but, she shouldn't let Abeno know that. Abeno is a very traditional person, after all. He is the kind of person who believes that a man and woman in a relationship should respect each other. While she agrees with that, Abeno's idea of respecting is the couple informing each other of their whereabouts.
Then again, perhaps Abeno has a better idea of a couple than she.
”I'm glad you have found your happiness, Princess Lyn.”
”I am very happy, but I do miss my peaceful days too. There is a pair of triplets among my new knights.”
”Are you referring to the Hori household?”
