Chapter 317 - Should I let her go? (2/2)
”It's not a 'perhaps. '” Allen turned to her then, and Lyn laughs weakly, ”I've always regretted it, you know? Not being able to do anything for Pupillam, she stood by my side for the longest time. But in the end I could never show her my true self, even now I'm hiding from her. I'm running away. I truly am the very definition of a coward.”
”Lyn...”
Lyn looked over at the workers, ”If, our engagement does go wrong. Please don't blame him or hold a grudge. All of this is because of my selfishness.”
”Lyn, they said it's okay to go on break. So why don't we eat together?”
”Okay! Let's go.”
Is he going to watch her fall into another man's hands? Is there nothing left that he can do?
...
The last thing Allen expected was for this woman of all people to visit him. The first Princess of the Mist Kingdom. When he arrived at his castle, he saw her sat down in the living room and acting like it was her place. A deep sigh passed his lips as he made his way across the room. ”First Princess, what brings you here?”
A dangerous aura seemed to surround her, ”Why do you keep standing in my way?”
”What could you be talking about?”
”Lyn and even Kazuya. Why do you keep defending the two so much?”
”Please watch your words; your sister is my fiance. It is natural I would protect her from harm.”
”That I understand, but even Kazuya?”
Allen sighed, ”First Princess, your last plan was filled with holes. I truly question whether you are the genius people make you out to be. Drug his food? Send him to your quarters? Princess Lethia, even if you wish to gain his attention. Doing it through such despicable means is shameful to the royal family. What's more, you did not even conceal that it was your aides that brought him up...”
Lethia rolled her eyes, ”Shameful or not, I'll use any means to get the person I want.”
What a spoilt Princess, Allen sighed. If he didn't pass by that inn to check on Kazuya and the subordinates, he left with him. What would have happened? The worst-case scenario. When he found Kazuya, his state was awful.
”And? Did you come here just to complain?”
”No, I have a proposition for you.”
”Proposition?” Allen raised his eyebrows. It is clear to him that this Princess is up to no good again. But hearing her out won't do any harm.
