Chapter 383 - Make use of me (2/2)
”Why did you do this again?” Allen questioned.
Lyn laughs, ”I didn't think you'd worry about me”
”Do not give me that. I have every right to worry about you.”
But she was right; he didn't know why he was still worried about her. After all, their relationship with each other was only that of people who used to be close — individuals who used to be together all the time. The person who was his first love, and yet he's already long given up that she would even look his way.
It's over, Allen doesn't know what plans she has to cancel their engagement. However, he is waiting for it. Any day now, any moment.
”You would call a situation an accident, I believe.”
Whenever he was around Lyn, he always spoke normally; his usual formal tone never slipped through. Whenever he was with her, it was difficult to do so.
”I see.”
She really looks so perfect here, she looks so perfect and yet at the same time so sad and completely falling apart. ”Why, would you do something like that?” Allen questioned.
”Honestly, I didn't understand why I did it.”
One of the many things he understood about her before were vague answers are her specialty. ”I didn't understand why I did. After he knocked me out I woke up and found him training, training, and training. He's always constantly getting hurt for my sake. Always fighting a never-ending battle just for me.”
”That is because,” Allen didn't know how to explain this to her. He knew the girl was no longer innocent. However, even for her..
”The council is monitoring me, right? I know.”
Allen blinked, so she knows. Then again, that's not a surprise either. She's always been this way, always like this. ”If you knew you should have said something.”
”Would anything have changed if I did?” Lyn challenged.
Indeed, nothing would have changed. It wouldn't stop the council doubting her. ”Your mother is negotiating for you. Once she reveals your identity, the council can't take such reckless actions against you. It's against the law to detain and question royalty, without sufficient evidence.”
”People can fabricate evidence, though if my sister wants to frame me. She can do so, and I won't be able to do anything about it.”
Allen frowned at the girl's words, ”Why do you talk that way. What about me?”
A confused look appears on Lyn's face, ”Eh?”
”What use is there to our engagement, if you don't benefit from it?” Allen said frustrated. He knew that Lyn never thought of such things. The benefits to the engagement, the reason why they are getting married. ”Make use of me during those times.”
Light laughter crosses her lips. ”I didn't think you would put it that way. Then, maybe I can?”
His sweat fell; he didn't think she would actually do it. ”Is there something you need me to do?”
