Chapter 370 - Lets find another way together (2/2)

Lyn lifts her head to look up at him. ”Kazuya, do you love me?”

Kazuya sends her that look, 'why are you asking now?' But it was brief since their eyes met directly, and his expression changes. As he gently caresses her cheek with his palm, ”I love you, Lyn. So, you don't have to worry about anything. It'll be difficult to deal with your family and the other elites. But I won't let them get in our way now. I'll be with you forever, so I'll make sure to convey it to them properly this time.”

He's so unfair at times. If he says stuff like that, how on earth is she supposed to get angry? Or even lecture him for being reckless?

Lyn leaned into his palm, ”I'm really tired, Kazuya, so very tired.”

Lyn knows that he knows that her tiredness has nothing to do with her being sleepy. She's tired already, of all this. She wants it all to end, all this pain and suffering. This cycle of hate, she wants it to be over.

She must have fallen asleep, because when she next opened her eyes. The room tinted with an orange glow. 'It's evening already,' Lyn observed. To think she slept so long. She shuts her eyes briefly to make sure, but she couldn't feel their presence downstairs anymore. They must have left hours ago. Her gaze flickered to her right and found, Kazuya fast asleep beside her. He looks like a child when he is sleeping. Her gaze softened when she found his arms securely wrapped around her waist. Why does this person sacrifice so much for her?

Because of love? Is love enough for a person to take such actions?

Sensing a presence on the balcony, Lyn sighed and removed Kazuya's arms from her waist. He was holding onto her so tightly, so it was difficult at first. Lyn covered herself up with Kazuya's cloak and made her way over. Once she arrived there, Lyn saw a man with white hair leaning on the frame. ”Shioka..”

”And there she is.”

A deep sigh escaped her lips, ”I thought you'd wait until I contacted you.”

”You being abducted by your brother wasn't in our plans,” Shioka seemed irritated. ”And now you're fooling around with Kazuya.”

”I was just taking a quick breather. Don't worry. I know what I'm doing.”

Shioka glanced over at Kazuya and then scratched his hair. It looked like he wanted to say something but stopped himself.

”Your brother, I mean that Prince from the Sun Kingdom Zepher. Isn't he important to you? More than Kazuya? Back then, you missed him a lot.”

Lyn shook her head, ”That's not it. The me then did not see the value of relationsh.i.p.s at all. I can say this now since a lot of time has passed, and my mindset has changed a great deal. However, the relationsh.i.p.s I had with others then, I regarded them all with the same value of importance. In other words, the relationsh.i.p.s I had with people were not important to me. A cold person, even though I was helping out others with their problems and solving them. I couldn't form a fixed relationship or connection with anyone.”

Everyone is alone; they are all empty. People no longer have any need for others. It is easy to find replacements; even those talented ones aren't spared. Any relationship can be replaced. Why do people insist on making friendsh.i.p.s and relationsh.i.p.s with each other? Back then, Lyn could not understand such logic, let alone accept it.

”Even though I couldn't understand it, I became curious about Kazuya. I wanted to know more and more about him. To get closer to this person that radiates the same aura as me, and yet there's something different. . .”

That person is different, and that's why even now, she wants to hold onto to him.
