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

”I wonder as a Princess if there is something I can do for them. Unfortunately, this is the only thing I could come up with.”

”While I do understand where you are coming from. The people in the Empire are raised to believe that dying in the hands of nobility is a good thing. Even those who die on the battlefield. As long as they are killed by a noble, their soul can be at ease. But, even with this reasoning. Many will call your actions reckless and foolish. Those who will look down on you.”

”I realize that. Especially with my circ.u.mstances, doing something like this is risky. People will point out my flaws, my age, my strength, my education how I was raised. They will call me a naive child who does not know anything.”

”Knowing this, you still wish to try?”

”Yes, because as a Princess, I have yet to contribute anything to the Kingdom. Even if it is something minor like this, I wish to do something for the people.”

Because no matter how cruel the people are of this world. It does not change the fact that a life is a life. If there is somebody, who is fed up with their life and wish to end it, rather than them die cruelly, ”I'd like to send them peacefully,” Lyn extended her hand out, and a swirl of black must appeared in her palm. A beautiful scythe appeared. ”..this blade will help me with that.”

”Have you heard of the grim reaper?”

”The messenger of death?”

”Correct, your weapon resembles that. The weapon serves as a way to cut the ties, the thread of life from the current world. So the soul can depart and enter the cycle of fate. Are you saying you wish to play a similar role in people's lives?”

Lyn laughed weakly, ”I wouldn't dare be so arrogant. But,” she trailed off. ”I wish to change the way things are. For that reason alone, I have to make a move. I cannot stand idly by and watch as people die and sacrifice themselves because of what the Empire considers as right and wrong.”

For such shallow values, why do people have to die in such a cruel way? If she can rid the world of people, who wish to end their lives brutally. If she can send them of peacefully rather than with tears, then she shall do so.

”Since you are the daughter of my old friend, I will not do anything. But I shall warn you; there will be those who think of you as an arrogant child and those who will cut off your head. Do you still wish to proceed with this?”

”My life is not so valuable,” Lyn mumbled. ”At least, in the beginning, I thought that.” When she first worked on this plan with Shioka a few months back, she had yet to meet with Kazuya and the others. ”But now,” she took a sideways glance at Kazuya. ”I have a meaning to live, that's why I shall see this through and ensure my survival too.”

Lyn does not wait for him to respond and stood up. She grabbed Kazuya's wrist, ”That is all, we shall take our leave now.”

….

She quickly made her way outside, dragging Kazuya with her. Lyn knew Rhys followed her lead even without her looking over. Soon, the three of them were outside. ”Lyn, put that away,” Kazuya pointed to the scythe. Rather he kept looking at her worriedly, ”Your going to hurt your pretty hands.”

Lyn laughed, ”It's okay Kazuya. Ah, you haven't seen this before, right? It's called the Mist Kingdom's Bloody star.”

”A weapon that brings about death in an instance,” Rhys interjected.

Lyn simply smiled, ”So you knew.”

”I didn't think you'd have it. Should I ask how such a dangerous weapon landed in your hands Princess Lyn?”
