Chapter 338 - The Other Prince (1/2)

Year 4014 - XX Island-

A certain man with black hair and emerald green eyes, played with the rose in his hands. Soon his subordinates would arrive with Lyn. He couldn't wait to see her again when was the last time he saw her? Three years? Two years? Either way, quite some time has passed since he last saw her again. The last time he saw her, she was crying so much because he was covered in blood.

'Brother...this is hard to treat.. Let me use..'

She almost used her healing powers on him. Such a naive child. If she did that, then Andrew would have found out. Using healing powers on another member of nobility is not a bad thing. However, at that time, Andrew would notice. How did he stop her again?

Year 40XX

”Ssh, Lyn, quit crying so much.” However, none of his words were getting to her at all. In fact, it looked like she was crying even more than before. Geez, what a hopeless person.

”Don't cry anymore,” before Zepher knew it; he lightly brushed his lips against hers.

Year 4014 Present Day

Zepher frantically shook his head, quit it. Even if she isn't his sister, he needs to stop having those weird thoughts. Besides, even if she does know the truth, now she won't ever look at him as a man. When he first found out that his feelings for her were a bit strange. Zepher tried to distance himself from her. But when he did that, she personally came to find him. 'Brother, do you hate me?' It pained him to see her that way; why would he hate her? It was because of Lyn that he even stuck around in that stupid castle. Otherwise, he would have left a long time ago.

The reason why he wants to bring her to his side. 'Havok will eventually fall on the Mist Kingdom.' He wants to move her away quickly. At first, Zepher intends just to leave her there, even if they treated her existence as a curse. At least she had a roof over her head. For a long time, he didn't have a stable home. He often played around with women just so he could have somewhere to stay. The moment anybody recognized him, he would move away. He would not stay in one place for too long — a constant life on the run.

Zepher couldn't let Lyn live such a horrendous lifestyle. So, even though it meant separating from her for a long time. He did what he did. To chase after her and ask her to come to his side after so long is shameful. Lyn could have refused, but he received word from the others. 'The lady told our messenger in person.' So, does this mean over the years nothing has happened between Lyn and that fiance of hers? Zepher knew about the young man from the Wind Kingdom's feelings for Lyn.

He knew how much the man cared for Lyn. So for a long time, even before he found out his feelings for Lyn. Zepher thought Prince Allen would take Lyn away from him.

But it seems like even now that guy hasn't done a thing. If Lyn is willing to come with him, that means even now the girl does not have anyone special, correct?

Now that his situation had stabled, he can guarantee her safety and a good lifestyle.

His thoughts broke off when the doors opened. One of his subordinates came in with a frantic expression.

”Boss, we have a problem. The girl, they are attacking her.”

Even with that vague explanation, Zepher knew who the messenger spoke about.

His gaze darkened, ”What?!!” Zepher immediately bolted up his chair. ”What's happening? How did they find out?”

”We don't know, sir, but they started attacking her. Right now, she is fighting.”

”Did she come alone?”

”No, she came with a young man.”

A young man? Zepher frowned slightly but shook his head. Don't think about it; it's a good thing she isn't alone now. ”What happened to the others I sent?”

”They were attacked along the way, boss.”

”Damn,” Zepher cursed. ”Send another team.”

Zepher slipped his cloak on, his gaze dark. That Kourin, she - really doesn't hesitate. How dare she break their agreement? Then again, he did offer the jewel he stole for her sake to get Lyn. Still, he only stole that jewel knowing it's value. Those people don't care about Lyn.

They only sent one person to come with her too.

Oh no, this is bad. Her consciousness. She didn't think there would be this many people. But then again, she of all people should understand. A battlefield or not, whenever a fight breaks out, the unexpected happens. Lyn's gaze fell on her wounded shoulder and gritted her teeth. She made a quick made shift bandage by tearing her sleeves slightly. Right at that moment, the enemy charged towards her again.

However, before Lyn could defend herself, somebody else deflected the attack.
