Chapter 387 - Peace and happiness (2/2)

'Hey, Lyn, what do I look like to you?

A monster or a beast?

Maybe just a formless disaster?'

Her reply surprised even her.

' ... you're a flame. A big beautiful bright red flame.'

She compared him to a flame, a gorgeous red flame.

'The most beautiful red in this world.'

Kazuya has the most beautiful color in the world. He was never a monster or someone who caused havoc. Kazuya gathered so many people; he brought them peace and happiness. A peace and happiness she never thought were possible.

So many people, who all have caring and warm hearts. Such people wouldn't have gathered around him if he were a monster. But if you are the most beautiful red, then she wonders what color she truly is? There cannot be two people with that color.

After all, all she seems capable of doing with this color is staining those people who are although painted a dark color already - staining them with a bloodshed red, is undoubtedly cruel.

”The heir apparent of the Wind Kingdom has arrived with his wife, the second Princess of the Mist Kingdom.”

Lyn flinched slightly when she hears the wife announcement. They aren't married yet, but it seems like everybody is treating her as Allen's wife already. This is bad; how is she meant to break up the engagement when things are like this?

After the greetings, a relieved sigh crossed Lyn's lips. She hates attending these events.

”I apologize for making you attend. But, since we were here, I figured..”

Lyn shook her head, ”It's alright. A warning ahead of time would have been nice, though. I'm afraid this outfit isn't good enough,” she mumbled. She wore a more western style of dress.

Allen smiles, ”Not at all. It looks good on you.”

It does, huh?

”You know I don't like these events because you're always faking your smile..”

He squeezed her hands, ”Relax dear. I'll find a place for us to be alone.”

She nodded and said nothing. Allen is very good with his words. He passed her a cup; Lyn stared at it curiously. ”Drink, relax; the alcohol content isn't a lot. It's for events like this.”

”Okay.”

Whenever she attends these events, she feels like a doll. Just blindly obeying whatever her master commands, standing still to look pretty. Allen brushed his free hand against her hair, ”You need not be so stiff, I'm right here.”

”You're not very reassuring during these events; you act just like they do.”

The person she wants to see now is Kazuya. After he left her with Allen, Kazuya didn't return. Exactly where did he go? Why didn't he bring her with him? It made Lyn feel incredibly uneasy. ”Allen, did Kazuya contact you yet?” Lyn asked.

It felt insensitive asking such a question, but whenever she is apart from Kazuya - she becomes uneasy. What is this bad feeling she keeps getting lately? Lyn isn't a superstitious person. However, with the recent events. It's hard to say, so many incidents keep occurring.
