Chapter 399 - Rage (1/2)

”That's unexpected. You are carrying the fate of the world on your shoulders after all.”

The fate of the world, the fate of this Empire, all rests on the shoulders of a sixteen-year-old girl. It may sound ridiculous. However, Kazuya has spent so long by her side now. He wondered if the elders had any idea about it. This girl is the key to solving the crisis in the Empire. The reason why they picked Lyn, and nobody else. Is this it?

”Indeed, it's strange. But for me, it really is easier - it motives me better if I say I'm doing something for your sake. Although it's quite selfish of me to say that when there are loads of people who have entrusted their hopes and dreams to me, in the end, I'll probably end up prioritizing my love and family. Do you think it's strange now?” Lyn questioned him.

Despite the darkness of the night and the only source of light coming from the moon outside. Kazuya the look on the black-haired girl's eyes. ”I do not.”

”Now then, time to go.”

Kazuya reached over and grabbed hold of her collar, ”Hold on a second. ”

”Your reflexes are quicker than Rhys!”

He sighs deeply, geez. So she was just trying to escape. He should have known that she would do something like this. ”Don't tell me that talk just now was--”

”No, it wasn't,” Lyn quickly cut him off. Kazuya could have easily called her a liar, and yet those piercing colored orbs clearly said something different.

This person is very good at tricking other people. How many times did he fall for her traps? Kazuya knew that Lyn was not deliberately trying to trick him. However, whenever she does trick him, there is usually more to it than meets the eye. Lyn flinched and winced in pain.

Huh? He did not grab her that tigh— Kazuya froze. On the girl's neck were discolored bruises, his entire face turned pale when he saw it. Lyn quickly tried to cover it, but he grabbed hold of her hands. Kazuya immediately loosened the girl's clothing and saw it - bruises on her shoulders. Her chest and stomach were slightly exposed, even there - so many dark markings.

”Uh, listen to me, Kazuya. It isn't what you think, so uh…”

It isn't what he thinks? Kazuya pressed his hands on one of the marks, and he saw Lyn break into a sweat. Just touching it like this hurts, let alone move around drastically.

Kazuya was furious with her. His maroon-colored eyes blazed with rage. His entire body trembled, he shook all over. For once, he wasn't even trying to hide his anger. Normally, when Lyn does something reckless. Kazuya would not say a word. He would simply hold her tightly and hope she would understand his thoughts. That was naive of him. Of course, if he treats her this way, she will think it's okay to act recklessly. Now, he understands why Rhys and her brothers act strict with her.
