Chapter 367 - Become my King (1/2)

He wonders if Lyn knows how much he really likes her. During the last few years he spent apart from her, Zepher has always thought about her. The only reason why he was able to survive was because of his memories of her.

Maybe because he spent a long time staring at her, but Lyn eventually noticed his presence. She made her way over, ”Brother?”

”Yes?”

Lyn laughed awkwardly, ”You've been staring at me for a while now. Um, did you need something?”

The girl didn't seem surprised that he was here. Perhaps she also understood why he came.

”When will you come home? Will you stay out?”

Lyn nodded, ”Ah yes, were staying out…” she averted her gaze from him.

Zepher smiled and pulled the girl into his arms. ”I don't mind you staying out, but don't forget to come home to me.” his words were gentle as he inhaled Lyn's scent.

”Zepher,” Lyn mumbled. ”Please don't do anything dangerous; I'm worried about you.”

”I'll be fine.”

'Zepher again…' What exactly is this girl planning to do? Then again, his gaze fell on the girl who was hugging him tightly. He doesn't dislike this situation.

..

At Platinum Palace

The person he is meeting here today is the First Princess of the Mist Kingdom. Princess Lethia, in other words, his ex. Yes, that's correct. His ex. Under her insistence before, they went out with each other. She kept insisting that she wasn't Queen Orthez's daughter. Zepher didn't believe her at first, but then the girl showed him evidence.

His gaze fell on the woman who entered the room. Long curly pink locks, like candy and dark azure colored eyes. She looks so innocent, especially with that bright hair of hers. However, this person reeks of death, even now..

”We have not met in so long Zepher, and you're glaring at me from the moment I enter the door?”

”I was just thinking; you wouldn't have happened to do something to the man you were speaking with earlier?”

Lethia smiled, ”What a peculiar question. Man, I am speaking to? You are aware he is one of my marriage candidates. If something intimate happened between us, it would be good for the Kingdom. Unlike Lyn, I'm not slow nor inexperienced. I'm sure any who set their eyes on me would be flattered,” she trailed off. ”Or are you worried about something else?”

He chuckled, ”Your jokes are the same as ever. Did you learn that after fooling around with other men?”

He must have been blind before. Lethia only approached him because she resented Lyn. Of course, when he realized that, Zepher intended to break up with her. But then that incident happened.

Even now, Zepher couldn't forget how she called the guards on him. She welcomed him with a smile into her place, but then turned around and snitched on him. It was hard to escape from her place, but when he did, he ended up in the forest. He remembered how bright the stars were back then.

'So this is how it feels to be betrayed.`` Then again, he may have dated her. But, he wasn't attached to her. It didn't bother him when she spoke with other men. On the other hand, when Lyn spoke to other guys, it would bother him greatly.

His thoughts broke off when Lethia approached him. Eventually, he felt the girl position herself on his lap. She wrapped her arms around his neck. ”You only came here to discuss Lyn, correct?”

”Yes.”

Lethia sighed, ”Zepher, forget about that girl. You came all this way; you have nothing else to discuss?”

”What else needs discussing Princess Lethia?”

”Are you bitter about what happened before? You shouldn't be.”

”You abandoned me.”

”Think about my position.”

Zepher laughed, ”Your position? Didn't you tell me you weren't the Princess? It's a good thing that I turned out not to be your brother. Otherwise, that would be i.n.c.e.s.t.”
