Chapter 401 - Concern (1/2)

They can't return to how they were before. But, Lyn knew Kazuya wouldn't leave her side. Even though he clearly disapproved of her actions. Kazuya says nothing. Still, they do not need words. Lyn couldn't focus on the current events; her thoughts still lingered to what happened an hour ago. The two of them walking hand in hand had become so normal for her. It became so natural, and yet. Lyn tapped her pen against the desk. 'Something is still missing,' she thought.

Kazuya and her are very happy together. Despite all the complications and obstacles, the two of them have come a long way. But, what is this uneasy feeling? What's more, Lyn glanced over at her reflection in the long mirror. Lately, she gets these burning sensations - the mark doesn't have to glow anymore. However, she still ends up feeling this burning pain.

Is it something she has to worry about? Who does she tell? Kazuya or Rhys? Considering Kazuya's reaction regarding that mission, Silver sent her on. Lyn knew she had to be very careful with her words from now.

First, write down the time they enter the room.

Second, write their names and their ranks…

Third, write down their request.

Fourth, pass on the message...

Lyn made a mental note of all the things Allen told her to do. She understood that all of this was necessary. She already resolved herself to take the throne, so she can't act wishy-washy about anything. Formal matters made her feel bored, but it's better knowing things than being left out of the dark. Today, she was meeting with some guests of Allen's and her eldest brother.

Lyn stifled the urge to peek over her shoulders. She knew the first of her guests were being led inside by the servants.

She wore one of the many formal kimonos Zepher tailored for her. Although Allen wanted her to wear something more western style. Lyn decided that she would wear these clothes instead.

It didn't take long before her guests arrived on the same floor as her.

Lord Zac and Lord Wayne.

Lord Zac stood rigid and self-assured. Despite him being twice her age, he looked like a handsome young youth. On the bridge of his nose, however, there was a large scar across. Lyn blinked, she already heard the story behind those wounds. But, Lyn didn't think it would look this imposing.

According to what she learned about him. Lord Zac's grandfather was a former general during her grandmother's time. After he stabilized the Kingdom and got rid of all the enemies. Grandmother bestowed a special title. People say that's the reason why Lord Zac has the position he does.

Lyn, however, knew it was only part of the reason. Lord Zac may look arrogant. However, he is the same as any other person in the Kingdom.

”We apologize for taking so long to greet you. You must be very busy with the preparations of your identity. Thank you very much for granting us some of your time.” Lord Zac nodded.

These two people were one of the few who knew of her identity, since a long time ago. But Lyn seldom interacted with them. She did not need to until now, anyway.
