Chapter 531 - The Lost Prince Part 2 (2/2)
Isaki chuckled. ”It seems that no matter what happens you two were fated to meet.”
He rubbed the back of his neck and sighed. ”I wouldn't know about fate.” Rhys trailed off. ”Will you tell me everything that happened in detail?”

It was easy for her to find Kazuya because she knew where all his hiding spots were. Back when they were still dating he showed all of them to her. Kazuya was hiding in one of the old buildings that were under construction, she found him on the second-floor balcony area. Once she found him she stepped on his foot causing him to yelp in pain.
”Ouch, why are you so violent?”
”What did you take now?” Lyn demanded. Or rather where on earth does he find these things to steal?
It was not like Kazuya stole from the palace but he went after other nobles' treasures. So naturally, the crime ended up reported to the royal family. At first, her eldest brother was the one people reported too but after her involvement with Kazuya, the soldiers started to report to her instead.
Kazuya did not reply but instead leaned forward and put something around her neck. ”A necklace?”
”Mm stay still.”
Lyn does as he says. She ought to lecture him about giving her something stolen as a gift. But right at this moment, it felt like time had stopped. She became painfully aware how close he was when he still couldn't fasten the necklace around her neck.
”This is harder than I thought,” Kazuya grunted. ”But it looks good right?”
”It's stolen though.”
”Not stolen, this wasn't what I stole.”
Her eyes widened when she heard those words and she deeply sighed. ”This birthday gift is late.”
Kazuya laughed. ”Sorry, sorry I was busy but I will make it up to you.”
Busy huh? Kazuya's departure which he has delayed this entire time he can no longer do that. That's right, soon he will have to leave.
”Isn't Rhys with you?” Kazuya looked around puzzled. ”I was preparing for your loving scolding and a fist from my dear friend.”
”Ah.” Lyn started to explain the events that led up to now.
Kazuya didn't seem surprised. ”When he told me the story before I did think something was off but it was like that.”
”Rhys said I stayed in the Rain Kingdom for awhile, and I confirmed it with his brother. But isn't it strange that I don't remember?”
How is it possible? She gave something as important as a magic stone away. Magic stones cannot be used by others other than the user or those close to them. But even then the later is risky. She wouldn't give it as a normal gift either. As naive as she was Lyn understood that much.
The fact that she gave it must mean they were close. It seems she also gave something similar to Rhys.
”Is it weird? Rhys has the power to erase memories.”
”That's right.” Lyn answered uncertain.
Now that she thought about it she doesn't know much about Rhys abilities. They have had brief conversations in the past about it.
Her thoughts broke off when Kazuya suddenly patted her hair. ”I don't think you need to over think it. The fact that you had a past together should be a blessing.”
Lyn frowned when she heard those words. ”Aaah why aren't you bitter?”
Kazuya blinked and rubbed the back of his neck. ”Well more like Iam green with envy but I will be leaving soon…”
That's right…
”Lyn, it's okay for you to trust Rhys.”
”What makes you think I don't.”
”I just know.”
'That's so unfair.' But Lyn knew she could not refute his words.
