Chapter 311 - His kindness (1/2)

”Kazuya, don't leave. Please,” Lyn somehow got her voice out. It was so quiet, but it was enough since he immediately ran back to her.

”Lyn…” Kazuya mumbled. ”From now on, no matter what anyone says, I will treat you as my wife. The formalities can wait, I won't let anybody stand between us. I won't let anybody hurt you.”

A flash of dark hair appeared in her head. That's right, that person said so too.

….

The next morning, Lyn woke up in a panic because she realized that Kazuya wasn't beside her anymore. Where did he go? Did he leave her again? She no longer wants to be left alone. Kazuya..where did Kazuya go? Just as Lyn panicked, she hears a voice from the door.

”The carriage is already at the front, sir.”

”Right, thanks. I'll go fetch Lyn- the Princess, so head back out.”

Soon the doors opened.

”Hey,” Kazuya greeted. ”Morning L-” she broke his sentence off when she wrapped her arms around him. Kazuya laughed, ”What's the matter with you?”

”Kazuya, where did you go? Why did you leave?”

His gaze softened. ”I just want to make breakfast arrangements. We're stopping by somewhere to eat breakfast before heading back,” he stroked her hair.

”I want to...be alone with you.” She doesn't want to see people right now. Or rather, her current state was far too unusual if anybody saw her like this, then they would undoubtedly exploit her weakness.

”Me too. Don't worry; we won't be disturbed.”

”Kazuya, you know I think I might like Rhys.” When she thought about the image from last night that overlapped after Kazuya's confession.

Kazuya chuckled. ”Don't worry, Lyn, I already knew that.”

”But isn't that strange?”

”Well, your partner isn't decided until…”

Lyn shook her head, ”You don't find that tradition strange?”

”I do, but honestly, Lyn, the Empire doesn't exactly have normal traditions.”

That's true; this isn't just limited to the Mist Kingdom alone.

”I won't say I don't mind, but it's just like you. Having such a big heart,” Kazuya brought her hand to his cheek. ”Lyn,” he said softly. ”I was actually surprised you picked me. I thought you'd chose Rhys, regardless of whether you remembered him, you naturally fell for him. Choosing me must be painful for you, but I'm pleased, you know?”

”Kazuya, I think your an idiot. Why do you think that is?”

Kazuya only laughed and then relayed some information to her. Lyn looked at him alarmed, why did he tell her this information just now?

”But, big brother said. ..If somebody strains their power, then that person will die.” Even now, Lyn could remember the conversation clearly; due to the rare serious expression, he was showing then. ”Please, give me your power! Don't strain your body any further!” she exclaimed.

Although her brother told her that, she won't mind bearing that pain.

”Calm down. I'm fine. Some people have survived my situation.”

He made a point there. But in the first place, the reason why those people could survive is because their power levels are normal.

”I didn't know you had this many facial expressions.”
