Chapter 345 - The Kidnap Part 3 (1/2)

Zepher gently kissed her forehead, ”Go back to the room. I have some work to finish.”

”Okay.”

Lyn didn't say anymore and scurried away. A relieved sigh passed his lips once the girl left. 'She almost found out there.' Zepher thought. Then again, maybe it would be better for her to find out, so she stays with him. Heh, how pathetic. To think he's resorted to such means. Then again, whenever it came to her …. things were not logical, to begin with.

...

Year 4009

Zepher was only curious about her, the person named Lyn. Andrew fetched her from the church since she last year, and then there was that mini ceremony with the fiance. During that time, though, he was away on a job so he couldn't see her. The so-called second Princess. They are supposed to be siblings, but for the past ten years since her birth, Zepher hasn't seen her once.

It feels like whenever there is anything to do with her. He's never around to witness it. So that's why he personally came to meet with her. Andrew shouldn't be around this time, and her guards shouldn't be on duty. Yeah, this is a perfect time. Getting through the barrier was difficult. But, eventually, he got through it.

Wow….

Is this her? She's so beautiful.

”Yes?” the girl tilted her head puzzled.

”Uh, I'm…”

Her eyes suddenly brightened up, ”You're my brother, right?”

”That's right.”

Lyn laughed, ”Come in! I apologize. It's a bit of a mess.”

How did she know he was her brother from a single glance? This girl shouldn't even know what Mother looks like. So, how come she recognized him? What a weirdo. Zepher stepped into the room with the basket.

'So plain…' Zepher thought. Then again, his place had been the same too. If he didn't earn money himself, then his situation would probably look like this too. But this girl isn't even allowed to go outside. So, naturally, she won't be able to change her situation.

”I brought some food. Did you eat yet?”

”Ah, I ate,” Lyn replied as she sat down on the bed.

Did she? As far as he knows, none of the servants dropped by the area today. Now that he thought about it, what does this girl do for her meals when the servants decide to take time off? The more Zepher thought about it, the more his frown deepened. Huh? Is it just him or… Zepher sighed, no use exposing her now.

”I didn't eat, though,” Zepher said. ”And I usually eat my meals alone too. Having a person accompany me would be nice.”

Lyn's eyes shifted slightly, ”Then, okay big brother.”

Zepher opened the basket, and Lyn's already bright eyes brightened even more. He didn't bring anything too special, at least in his eyes anyway. But the girl was looking at everything with so much interest.

”Brother, what is this?”

”Huh, it's just steak.”

”And this?”

Zepher names all the dishes, and Lyn looks delighted.

”Can I eat now?” she asked.

Zepher nodded and passed her some utensils. Why is she so happy eating these kinds of food? It's the usual, isn't it? Especially for royals like them, food like this eventually becomes bland since they eat it daily. But then again, judging from her living situation, maybe the food she eats is the same too? Zepher frowned, isn't Andrew in charge of Lyn? Why is she living like this?

If he were to complain, though, it could easily backfire on him. The barrier wasn't easy for him to get through. Zepher doesn't want to risk not being able to see her.
