Chapter 343 - The Kidnap Part 1 (2/2)
”No, I was just a bit...lonely.”
”I'm here, aren't I? Haven't you missed me.”
”I have.”

”You still haven't found Lyn?!! Find her! Find her at all costs!” Andrew exclaimed.
”Andrew...” Gabrielle mumbled. ”Could it be...”
Andrew's gaze darkened. That man..damn it. ”Where's Kazuya?” he demanded.
”He went after them, sir.”
Tsk and Rhys got critically hurt when he confronted Zepher. At least that's what he claims. Andrew hadn't seen the man's injuries. Kazuya was poisoned severely. How could that idiot go after them?
So much for making use of them. ”Send men after Kazuya, make sure he has troops,” Andrew ordered.
Kazuya should be able to find Lyn, shouldn't he? Still, with each second passing by. Andrew grew more and more anxious. Only a day has passed, but Andrew felt incredibly uneasy. What does Zepher want with Lyn?
One of the main reasons why he was always against the man was because of Lyn. Zepher, the way he looked at Lyn, was different. He looked at her with eyes that are about to devour his prey. It was abnormal. Blood-related or not, he shouldn't look at her like that.
That's what upset him about the man. From the start, Andrew knew his identity; that's why he kept those two away from each other.

XX Island - Town -
”Say, brother, why did you call me your wife?”
”If I said you're my sister, they'd kill you. Do you want that to happen?”
Oh, so these people loyal to brother are dangerous men. People, who dislike nobility?
”Besides Lyn, why are you still calling me, brother? Don't you know we're not related?”
”I know,” Lyn mumbled. But she still found it hard to believe. ”Um Ze--Zepher....”
Zepher smiles, ”That's better.”
He's a bit strange now. But maybe because she hasn't seen him in such a long time. Zephet pulled her into his arms, ”Lyn, Lyn. Lyn...”
”What's wrong?”
”I haven't seen you in so long; I'm glad to see you again.”
Yesterday he didn't talk much. So Lyn thought that he didn't want to see her again. She thought he got in his way. But, it turns out that he's missed her too?
...
Everybody on this island seems to respect him. But, she wonders why. Why do some people look like they are afraid of him?
”Lyn, pick out a few things.”
”Eh?'
”For your room.”
Oh, right. So that place she stayed in yesterday won't be the place she will stay in? Almost as though Zepher read her thoughts, he suddenly said. ”Damn those guys. I didn't think they'd bring you here so suddenly. Sorry about yesterday. They weren't sure who you were to me, that's why they treated you like that.”
”Oh, it's okay.”
They weren't that bad. For kidnappers, she expected them to well be more threatening; instead, they seemed to be confused.
'Boss wants her, right?'
'Idiot, are you sure you have the right girl?'
By Boss, they mean Zepher, she looked over at her brother. Amazingly, he's achieved so much in the short time they've been apart from each other. ”Lyn,” Zepher called out.
Lyn turned around, and he wrapped a beautiful cloak around her shoulders. ”Yeah, this would look great on you. I'll take this,” he said to the shopkeeper.
”Brother, um, I already have a new cloak.”
”Yeah, sorry to say that thing got thrown away. It was in a terrible state.”
The gift Rhys gave her...
”Is something wrong?”
Lyn shook her head, ” It's nothing.”
”Don't hold back; you can get anything.”
She looked awkwardly around. She isn't in the mood to shop. Ah, maybe, ”Brother, this would look nice on you,” she pointed to one of the outfits that caught her eye.
”I see, then I will get it.”
He agreed just like that?
