Chapter 316 - Passage of time (1/2)

Pupillam started to walk away but paused, ”I don't believe your actions are right. And for sure, I'll never forgive you. But I'll say this, I'll let you live. I'll make sure to pass the word to the others too. Because it was something, he allowed to happen. Despite knowing how much it would hurt her, despite knowing how much pain it would cause her, he still did it. That's why... there's no need for me to dislike you. But, I can't say I'll forgive you either.”

Allen didn't get a chance to reply since Pupillam leaves, Allen noted the medical box near his feet. Heh, first she injures him to this degree, and now she helps him — what a strange woman.

No forgiveness, huh? That's her decision. But indeed, that's how it should be.

This world she saw in her eyes, is still a word he cannot understand. But that may be why he's become increasingly involved and fascinated by such a notion. Those with strength, huh? Indeed they do deserve some praise. Allen reached over to touch one of the butterflies that were fading; one day, Lyn will disappear just like this. When she has found her own color, will she leave his side? Is the time now?

…

After what happened, Allen wanted to return to the castle and just sleep of all his unease. But he couldn't possibly do that when something like this happened in a good residential district in town. Allen knew what Prince Andrew was thinking regarding this man named Arthur. Providing him such an excellent residence and even position.

Allen's thoughts broke off when he could drink pressed on his cheek. He doesn't have to turn to the side to know who it is. Indeed, as he turned, he spotted his fiance. ”Dear, if you do something childlike. I'll be prone to do something 'unreasonable.”

At that comment, Lyn backed away, ”I didn't know you were like that, Allen.”

”Is that so? Did I not tell you before, not to overstep any boundaries, since I too am a man.”

To his surprise, the black-haired woman's cheeks colored. ”Please refrain from saying such things.” Lyn trails off, a dark aura surrounded her. ”If Kazuya is here's that, he's going to get all wishy-washy about his feelings again. If that happens, he and Pupillam will be at each0other's throats again.”

”My apologies. Is Pupillam not angry at him anymore? Pardon me for saying so, but I believe someone like her would not forgive someone that easily.” Or rather it's not that the maroon haired woman is prone to not forgiving people. She's a rather kind person, after all. But when it concerns someone who has hurt Lyn before; she becomes a deadly person.

Lyn innocently tilted her head, ”Hmm, it's difficult to tell actually. But ah earlier when Kazuya came to pick me up, the two were chatting in the hallway, and looked like they were having fun.”

Although the concept of 'having fun..' is no longer new to him, at least not since he met Lyn. Allen still finds it a difficult concept to grasp.

A soft smile appeared on her face, ”I like it when Kazuya is gentle and kind to people. Even though I get jealous if he's gentle to another girl, it makes me glad if it's towards people I get along with.”

”Since your relationship is going well. Will I be receiving a wedding invitation soon?” Allen joked about it.

Lyn seemed startled by his words, ”I— I can't marry Kazuya if I'm engaged to you. Even if I want to.”

Those words stung in more ways than one.

The girl's fumbling of words didn't go unnoticed by Kazuya. Since a chuckle escaped his lips. Lyn flushes in embarrassment. ”Kazuya, don't eavesdrop!”
