Chapter 385 - A special ring (1/2)

It was never her fault. Allen always regretted the way he treated Lyn after their engagement. Even if he treats her well, he remained distant from her. If Lyn was the only one who noticed it, then fair enough. But those around them saw it too. That's why some people didn't treat her seriously. While on the surface, it looked like her family members have accepted her. There are those people who secretly bad mouth her.

Ever since Kazuya came, those people are now voicing their thoughts out regarding Lyn. It's a good thing people have yet to figure out about Lyn appearing as Zepher's fiance. To a certain degree, they are controlling the situation with the rumors. Just a few more days, and everything will come under control.

His gaze fell on the girl who was busy cooking. Allen thought it would be better to distract her, so he asked his companion to allow her into the kitchen. Naturally, chasing away all the servants.

”Now, be amazed at my amazing cuisine cooking.”

Lyn sat beside him and placed the last plate down.

”Huh, hey, this is pretty good. ..” he trails of taking another bite. He doesn't know what it was, but the taste that filled his senses then seemed to dispell the ugly feeling inside him. Or maybe he's just hungry. He doesn't remember eating anything at all yesterday. With all the work occurring lately, it's challenging to find time to eat.

”Do you like it, Allen?” Lyn looked at him with bright eyes.

”It's perfect.”

”Yay, I did it,” Lyn cheerfully replied.

She's so chipper and happy. Why is that, Lyn, find ways to smile even during the most painful moments?

Allen knows that she is pain; after all, she cried so much last night. He knows his actions have caused her to suffer even more. Even though he came back here intending to help her in any way he can. All he has done so far is hurt her.

”Allen, I have something I want to show you,” Allen drank a spoonful of soup.

”The case your working on?”

Lyn nodded. ”There are some reports I want to discuss with you too.”

Didn't Pupillam say it during the banquet? 'Right now... anyone who's near her must realize it. The abnormality in the Princess. Dancing in this way that even scares herself, it seems like she's lashing out with ferocity. All the onlookers will fall under a spell in which Princess is the only one on stage. A one-man stage, an overwhelming power in existence.'

Perhaps even now, Lyn is bearing such loneliness despite being surrounded by so many people. He's really against this idea. But spying her expression, he knows he won't be able to say no.

”Let's hear it then.”

”You'll listen?”

”Yeah.”
