Chapter 331 - I shall see things through (1/2)

Dragon Mansion

Lyn looked at the interior of the old mansion as they waited. While the servants said, their master would see them. She felt strange and restless about all of this. Is it this simple to get a meeting with the Lord of this manner? There was another place they were supposed to drop by at. Lord Iz place, somebody Shioka knew. But then she saw this place. It was well concealed, but after she looked at the map. Lyn understood that this person was also included in the list. So they dropped by here first.

Feeling Kazuya's head on her shoulders, she laughed. ”I knew you were tired.”

”Hah, I surrender..”

Lyn chuckled and gently caressed his hair. ”Say, Kazuya? When we get back to town, will you have some free time?”

”Yeah, I've been buried with work lately. So your brother is being kind enough to actually give me some time off.”

”Then, can we spend time together?”

Kazuya smiled, ”I thought it would be nice to wake up with you in my arms and fall asleep with you in my arms.”

He's so silly, but this is nice. When was the last time they acted so naturally around each other? It feels like so much time has passed since then. Lyn beamed happily, ”Alright, I don't mind that. I have my studies though, do you mind Kazuya? It might be boring for you to accompany me.”

”Na, I've wanted to watch you when you have your lessons.”

What is that supposed to mean?

But she supposes there is no need to dwell on that. Lyn took a sideways glance at Rhys. Since earlier, he hasn't said anything. He isn't angry at her, is he? Lyn shook her head, even if he is angry, she can't do anything about it. Kazuya is her boyfriend. Whether or not Rhys liked it, Kazuya and her are dating. A deep sigh passed her lips. Why does he have to act so unreasonably for? Didn't he tell her that he would change her mind? Him acting like her lover before anything has happened between them is absolutely absurd.

After a few more minutes of waiting, a man with long pale hair wearing a long western coat appeared before them. His domineering presence already gave away his identity. This must be the Lord of the mansion.

”I am the Lord of this mansion, Zin,” he looked her up and down and nodded. ”I am like yourself. It was only until recently I woke from my slumber.”

Ah, Lyn did hear of people like her who have maintained their youthful appearance despite so many years going by. But this was the first time she had seen someone like this. He looks like he's brothers age. However, according to the reports, he should be 40 or so.

”I'm Lyn, the second daughter of Queen Orthez and King Daichi. It was a pity that you could not be there at the recent event.”

The man didn't seem surprised at her introduction, ”Indeed it was, I would have liked to see my old friends again. Prized daughter of Orthez and Daichi, what brings you here today?”

”I wanted to ensure something. Even after living so long, you do not wish to end your life?”

”I see,” Zin nodded. ”This is to do with the recent attacks on fallen nobles.”

Ah, so even though he has been asleep for some time, he knows about it? She supposes that it is expected of him.
