Chapter 357 - Where does your heart lay? (2/2)

”I know about all this already…”

Zepher gently caressed her hair, and continued. ”If you want another reason, yes there are those who choose to end their lives due to the pressure of the burdens of our title.”

”Brother too?”

”I'm so tired Lyn,” he mumbled. ”So tired, if it weren't for you. I would have ended things a long time ago.”

”Big brother ...I'm here, I'll stay with you.”

Zepher smiled, ”Hn, what about your boyfriend?”

”It's okay,” she mumbled. ”Were not…”

Zepher brought her closer to him, ”I only have you now, you're the only reason I made it this far. I won't stop you from going out anymore or meeting your friends. But remember Lyn, siblings or not. I am one of the few people you can trust.”

”Big brother, okay. So, don't be sad anymore.”

She has learned many things about her brother. One of them being that while brother asks her to trust him, he is hiding many dark secrets from her.

They remained like that for awhile before Lyn returned to tending to his wounds.

”Would you like to meet Kazuya properly?”

” …”

”Brother, I'd really like it if you two spoke. He's very important to me,” Lyn nodded.

”Give me some time to think about it Lyn. You are aware of my feelings, how could you possibly ask this of me?”

Her brother's feelings. She still sees him as her sibling, so it is very strange. But, she is starting to understand him better now.

”Okay, but I'll go to him now. He must be worried.”

On the way here he didn't say anything, but he had a clouded expression on his face. She ought to check on him, ”Just now you said you'd stay by my side. Why are you leaving already?” Zepher said.

”That's because I'm being very cruel and manipulative. Not just towards you but towards the other guys who like me.”

”It's true, your a cruel fiance. I feel bad for Prince Allen, and you agreed to the farce to be my wife so easily. So it makes me wonder, where does your heart lay?”

Lyn stood up but Zepher followed her. She tried to push him away, ”Since you know I am a bad person. Why do you keep insisting?”

”...”

”I know, I get it brother. Your right about me, absolutely right. I have a boyfriend, I have a fiance. But, I can't tell them both what I'm feeling. Where does my heart lay? I love Kazuya and I want to have a future with him. But, if I really wanted to do that I don't have to be the Queen…Can't you see? I...I'm a heartless person, let go of me please brother…”
