Chapter 459 - Seventeenth Birthday Part 1 (2/2)

Lyn knew she couldn't hide it anymore so she told Pupillam everything that's happened lately. Each sentence lead to increasing the dark aura surrounding her aide. Her sweat fell, ”Um, but well you know it isn't too bad.”

”What a beast!” Pupillam exclaimed. ”How could he do something outrageous. Princess Lyn, you maybe seventeen now. But you're still far too young. That man should know better.”

She knew this would happen. But it's better to tell Pupillam than have her find out later.

Pupillam looked very troubled. ”Princess Lyn, I must ask you at least one thing. Do you like him?”

”I liked him.”

”And now...?”

Lyn sighed. ”These days I can't tell. I'm no good with this stuff. I know he means well despite the strange way he expresses it,” she trailed off. ”Hey Pupillam, do you know what an a.d.u.l.t kiss feels like?”

”Princess!”

”Don't shout, I'm serious.” Lyn mumbled. She can't tell whether Rhys is being lenient on her or not.

”Princess Lyn, honestly I don't think I should be the one telling you this stuff.” Pupillam trailed of. ”Traditionally, you're fiance should be the one teaching you these things.”

Ah, that's right. Since Allen and her have been engaged since she was younger. Indeed the one who ought to tell her this stuff is her fiancee. But, Lyn played with the hem of her skirt. She wore a white dress with bright red ruffles on top, and a ribbon tied around her waist. 'Quite some time has passed since she wore something like this.' Lyn felt a bit uncomfortable.

Her gaze fell on Allen now surrounded by a bunch of people. The Queen of the Wind Kingdom, huh? From a young age she was raised to be this man's fiancee. But these days, she doesn't see him that much. Then again isn't that her fault? She went ahead and got a boyfriend.

Lyn took a deep breath and walked over to where Allen was. Usually she wouldn't interfere when he was with other people. However she wanted to speak to him. Lyn reached over and tugged on his sleeve. ”Allen,” she mumbled. ”Can I speak to you for a bit?”

Allen placed his hand on her forehead. ”Are you sick? You've looked slightly pale since earlier. Apologies, I shouldn't have made you dance.”

Her gaze softened at his words. ”Can we go to the garden?”

”Very well,” Allen turned to the others. They already heard everything. But Allen quickly explained it. After a few more words he grabbed hold of her wrist and took her outside.

Lyn couldn't miss the way people looked at them. But she simply focused on Allen. This person always grabs hold of her wrist, he never directly holds her hand. The distance between them is different than the one she has with Kazuya.

The garden was awfully quiet. Lyn understood the reason why. The other nobles are afraid to come outside due to the current situation. Allen however didn't seem to mind.

”I realize that lately, I have not spoken to you as much,” Allen mumbled.

Her gaze softened and she shook her head. ”That's my line. We've both become so busy.”

”Those two have changed you.”

Lyn looked down at the ground. ”Indeed, they have.”

”Do you have something you want to say?”

”I said it earlier already, if you find somebody you like...” her sentence fell short when she felt him interlock a strand of her hair with his fingers.

Allen brought it to her lips. ”If you were a mere simpleton, then I doubt I would have become this attached. But since this is you it seems like I have to rethink everything.”

What is Allen talking about now?
