Chapter 340 - Pay the Price (2/2)
”But I'm serious about this, Kazuya.”
He knows that too, Kazuya understands how serious Lyn is about him. To the point, he's become afraid.
”.. . That man is wearing a cloak. But... do you know who it is?” Kazuya brought up. It felt like during the battle; they exchanged more lengthy exchanges of conversation. Something you wouldn't do to someone you didn't know.
”Yes, from an organization called Shadow. He is the center.”
Although he expected a response, he wasn't expecting this kind.
”That's..”
Lyn sighed, ”I didn't think he would be working with these kinds of people. But it can't be helped; the world is not a kind place.”
That's certainly true.
His thoughts broke off, hearing a deep explosion sound. Kazuya jolted and turned in the direction.
”There you are. Princess Lyn, why are you running away? Could it be your afraid of me.”
”Please like I'd flatter someone who won't show their face. Although I do quite like mysterious men.”
”I see, I see. That's why your with that man.”
The girl stood up, ”Lyn, you really shouldn't..”
Lyn shook her head, ”No.” she took a step forward and brushed their foreheads lightly against each others. ”I'm really grateful. Even if he didn't ask you, Kazuya, you would have protected me.”
At that, this comment Kazuya's eyes widened.
”Thank you. But it's the Queen's job to protect everyone. When I get back, there are some things we need to talk about.”
With those words said, she turned away from him and charged straight for the cloaked man. She knew she knows everything. That shouldn't surprise him, and yet, even though she has that knowledge, she still treated him like normal. To him, even now, she is …

Her eyes widened in alarm when she heard Kazuya screech in pain.
”Kazuya?” Lyn called out. She told him to hide, so she could barely see him.
Yet all she could hear was a wincing voice. He is in pain. Lyn shoots her head angrily in Morris direction, ”You! What did you do?”
”Haaaaaaaaa! It looks like it's my win, after all, Princess. What did I do? Of course, I poisoned him.”
Her gaze dimmed at those words. This guy she was going to let him off since he's just a pawn. But, he went ahead and did something like this.
”Ahh, ahh. I've had enough I was intending on holding back since you're a newbie. But your actions don't resemble a newbie. Trying to poison Kazuya and holding people hostages. Your offenses have certainly piled up,” Lyn spoke these words sarcastically as her gaze dimmed.
”What on earth are you babbling on about?”
”Ne sir, I think you've forgotten something. Do you not know what makes the True Queen candidates strong? It's because even without powers, they have enough strength to plunge the world into destruction.” Lyn dispelled her powers.
To deal with trash like this, there is no need to use magic.
”Stay back! I'm warning you.”
Is Morris afraid? Can he sense it? But, even if he can. It's already far too late.
”Take this is my warning to you. I hate talkative men and although mysterious guys attract me. You've fallen too low even to be distinguished as nothing but trash in my eyes. But km maybe we can get a long.. Did you know? I'm not human either; I've long cast it aside.”
If she has to become a monster to protect those dear to her, then so be it. Kazuya, his fears, and hers are the same. But, unlike him, she has decided already. She will use this power to its full extent, even if she becomes a monster.
The guy startled wrapped the area in a grey fog, yet Lyn lifted her hand and sliced the fog in half. Her gaze was deadly. This time around, she would not hold herself back. Why would she? This man dares hurt Kazuya. Anybody who hurts Kazuya will pay the price.
