Chapter 437 - Mysterious Jade Part 1 (1/2)

M Region - Mountains.

Her eldest brother must think she is an idiot. Did he think he could confine her like that?

She wanted to go exploring the mountains. But she glanced over at the girl beside her, who has long, fluffy light, bright blue hair with her bangs neatly tucked behind her long wavy forelocks. Her hair is worn loose with a single, wavy side-tail that has a thick streak of pink.

”Beth, you don't have to follow me.”

”On the contrary, I have to, your little disappearing act last night was enough to establish that you can't be trusted alone,” Beth exclaimed.

Ehh seriously? Even though she came back. Well, Lyn understood why the others are worried. It's because this place is a neutral zone; anyone can come in and out of it. Any elite fighting affairs are not paid attention to by the attendants of the country; and instead ignored, unless their own citizens get caught up on it.

”You don't have to worry about her; if you leave her up to me, then it'll be okay.”

She glanced up and spotted Gabrielle. ”Yeah, that's okay.”

Beth turned to leave, but she paused. ”Princess Lyn, the thing we spoke about before.”

”Yeah, alright. I'll tell them.”

With those words confirmed, the girl left. Gabrielle immediately inquired. ”What thing?”

”Gah that's --”

”Hmm, well, since it's a secret with Beth, I doubt it can be about a secret love affair.”

Her sweatdropped at her friend's words. ”What sort of game did you play yesterday?”

”This one called 'unknown.' It's actually pretty good.”

As Gabrielle burst out into game talk. Lyn thought back to what Beth just mentioned. She wondered if it's okay to mention it.

”Just to confirm Lyn, the direction your heading in is the mountains, isn't it?”

Lyn nodded, ”Yes,” she trailed off and recalled something Silver told her. ”There is something I would like to check out.”

”Hmm, I see.”

Lyn looked at her friend, confused. But doesn't bother questioning her as they continued upwards the mountain path. Since there is something she has to do. On the way up her thoughts darted towards two certain people. Beth, and even Gabrielle have resolved themselves now. 'Lately, things are going well between Andrew and me.' Lyn was very happy for her friend; for the longest time, Gabrielle liked her brother. But her brother is so slow, and he doesn't seem to care about anything other than work.

She can't hesitate any longer. Just like Silver said, she has to decide; otherwise, everybody around her could die. Lyn glanced over at Gabrielle; it was clear her friend wasn't used to walking up the mountains. Judging from her clothes and the state of her hands too. Gabrielle has never had to do manual labor before in her entire life.

Yet Gabrielle came all the way here for her sake. Lyn knew she could turn back if she wanted. If they turned back now. Maybe they could beat her brother, who would usually check on her this time. However, Lyn didn't want to leave. If what Silver said is true, then that jewel has appeared. The jewel that will help her recover.

Lyn didn't care about the mark before, so she never searched for the gem. But now everything is different. There are people who want her to live, and she also has a responsibility now. The one who will take the throne is her. She already resolved herself there.

It happened far too quickly for her to react, despite her fast senses. Although she prepared for the blood l.u.s.t, she didn't expect them to be all wiped out before she could do anything. There has always been someone far faster than her. Someone who can control it, sound. Maroon colored hair, someone who always wore such a stupid-looking expression, and yet this is the person where everything began.

”Ah that was refreshing, now let's see what sort of beauties I saved to....” He must have just charged in without thinking.

'So very reckless, but it's like him.'
