Chapter 391 - No matter what (1/2)
He's terrible at kissing, and he's sloppy when it comes to being romantic. Then again, he does do things that she likes. When he casually strokes her hair and hugs her. It's his hugs that she really likes. Whenever he holds her, she feels so comfortable.
But even so, Lyn sighs, really that guy does everything at his own pace. However, her gaze landed on the brunette spiky hair boy, who was engaged in a battle with the soldiers. In the end, Zepher purposely leads them over to him. Surprisingly enough, these soldiers weren't angry at him.
What were the chances of them chasing Kazuy because they wanted to learn from him? 'It looks nice,' Lyn observed the situation silently from the sidelines. Kazuya is very good at socializing; unlike her, he isn't awkward about it at all.
He's always been that kind of person. Like Zepher, though, Kazjya always hid his true feelings and had an outer character. Though the brown hair boy had always been cheerful, she knew all about his true self. The one that had scared memories. But now that doesn't seem to be the case.
Kazuya already broke free from that cage and his outer character. The character he truly wanted to be, it's who he is now.
Lyn wondered if something like that were possible for someone like her. The Queen issue, it was one of the many other things that were bugging her. Becoming Queen, she didn't think the job was suited to her. Although Lyn discovered that she is strangely good at leading people, it still felt a bit surreal to her. For so long, she suppressed and held herself back. She needed nothing; she was fine with how things were.
Having this strong ability means she can no longer loiter in the sidelines like before. Lyn always felt that her powers were strange. But, even then, she didn't think much of it. She didn't think she would be able to protect anyone with these skills of hers. To be able to protect everyone. With that thought in mind, she needs to strive forward for everyone else sake.
Recently things haven't been working out well for her. At first, she thought it was because Kazuya isn't beside her as much anymore.
Then again, her resolve had wavered at the end of that battle. Because there had been people who were willing to do their best for her sake, she thought that was enough. That's why she had announced her Queen Candidate at an earlier period than the others. Rather she had been the first one to announce it.
Even though the general public has acknowledged her brother and sister for the throne, those two have not made public announcements yet.
Besides, Zepher himself said it, 'The next person who becomes the Queen is my enemy.” The black-haired girl didn't understand why, why he would say something like that. Especially since the Queen is someone people look up to and admire. Yet he sounded so bitter and yet so sad.
Lyn still didn't have an explanation for it. Still, he knows that she intends to take the throne. Why would he support her so much? Does Zepher have a bridge against her, and want to become her enemy? She shook her head, 'No need to overcomplicate things.'
”Earth to Lyn,” Kazuya said, breaking her thoughts. Lyn blinked when she saw him standing directly before her.
”Huh? I thought you were....”
