Chapter 360 - Suspect (2/2)

”Were you the type who could wear heels before?” Andrew mumbled.

”I--I'll make some tea.”

”No need, I'll be quick. Have you noticed anything strange about the mark?”

Anything strange? Lyn glanced down at the mark on her neck. While it never returned to it's small form on her hand anymore. Unlike that throbbing sensation she felt in the Snow Kingdom. It hasn't acted up at all.

”Lyn, calm down when I say this but your mark is connected with this case.”

Wait, what?

She glanced over at Himuro and noted that he was looking away from her. So it's true? This must be the reason why brother rushed her out so quickly. Many people had seen her tonight, some may have spotted the mark on her neck. Thankfully, she didn't speak to anyone for a long period of time. So, nobody should remember. But even then brother is cautious.

”They found it on the victim?”

”Yes, but it was on his body.”

Lyn bit her lip, 'It would look like she cursed him.' But at the time of the suicide she was together with Allen and then Kazuya. However, if somebody were to pinpoint her involvement. She couldn't rely on Allen to provide an excuse for her. They would simply say he was covering up for her.

No amount of excuse will make her less of a suspect. Then again, it seems like they would have suspected her anyway. So, like this isn't it fine? Her gaze fell on her brother and noted how odd his appearance was. Did he rush out all the way here?

Her gaze softened, in his own way. Big brother Andrew expresses concern for her. She really is a lucky person isn't she?

Even though her childhood did not start of great. While she could not claim her title as Princess, and end up leading a secluded life. None of that mattered. Since in the shadows there have always been people who cared about her, she is very lucky.

”Eldest brother, did you just come here to check on me?”

”No, we have a meeting,” another voice interjected. She glanced over and spotted Zepher entering from another room. He must have seen all the people and decided to use the back entrance.

”Brother,” Lyn greeted.

”Lyn.”

Ah... Lyn cautiously made her way over and hugged her brother, ”Welcome back.”

”I'm back.”

Feeling a dark gaze, her sweat fell. Uh... She quickly left Zepher's arms and turned to Andrew. ”So you two are having a meeting? You won't fight while I go and get tea right?” she had to ask to make sure. It was hard to tell from their current expressions.

Zepher smiled, ”Well, it's up to him. I do think he has the right to punch me.”

Lyn frowned, ”Don't fight, okay?” she looked at them with a worried gaze.

Andrew sighed, ”What do you take me for, I'm not a barbarian.”

She laughed at that comment. Indeed, eldest brother Andrew isn't the brawl type. ”Then, I'll fetch the tea. Behave you two.”
