Lyn laughed, "Um, okay, quit with the jokes. Are you hungry? I"ll ask them to make something," she still felt drained from the meeting and didn"t want to leave her chair. However, Lyn knew if she stayed sitting down, something would happen. Look how close they are right now, something could really happen.She quickly tried to stand up, but Kazuya pushed her against the chair again. A somewhat serious look appeared on her face, and Lyn immediately looked away. What is with this situation? She feels so very nervous right now. He, what is this guy thinking right now?
"Do you not want to kiss?"
"Uh, that"s not it at all. But you, uh," Lyn didn"t know what to say. She felt so bewildered right now. This is a first for her, seeing Kazuya like this.
Sure enough, he"s a guy - and this is normal. Lyn knew that Kazuya wanted to cross certain boundaries before with her. But, considering how young they are. Lyn didn"t think much of it.
"Lyn, I…" Kazuya"s voice turned weak.
"Well, I already knew you were an idiot. You"re the type that"s so scared of going astray. You can"t even see a pebble in front of you before tripping in it."
"Oi, that"s not how it is…"
Lyn laughed when she hears his tone; that"s what bothers him? What a hopeless man.
Her gaze softened. "However, I understand since I"m the same type as idiot as you," she pulls away from him and hands him a cigarette.
Kazuya hides it very well, but Lyn knew he smoked.
"So, I"m sorry. I understand how you feel, but I can"t save you like before. No back then, that wasn"t me saving you. It was only a temporary measure, " Lyn trailed off, " It"s sad. But it often happens. You think back and forth between the risks and can"t go anywhere. At least that"s better than someone who has already gone astray. The truth is, there isn"t much difference between the two of them. At this rate, you"ll be unable to do anything. This sort of idiot hides their shame and looks for someone else to pull them through. Though then they can"t complain if they end up in h.e.l.l. Well, the endless loop of worrying is already h.e.l.l. Your already tired of it, aren"t you?"
Kazuya laughs a little, "Haha, that"s right. I"m really tired."
She reached over and ran her hands through his hair. "Then, get some rest when you can, Kazuya. What use is there working yourself sick like this?"
Lyn becomes very concerned whenever she sees him this way. He is pus.h.i.+ng himself too much, and for what?
"What use, huh? If I said it"s all for your sake, then what would you say, Lyn?"
"I"d call you an idiot, and scold you even if it is for my sake or whatever. You can"t do this to yourself, Kazuya. You can"t make yourself sick or get yourself hurt because of me. Do you think I"d be happy with that?" Lyn didn"t realize when she raised her voice. But she was genuinely fed up with it all.
"Lyn, you know I"m very afraid."
"In that case, isn"t it fine? Even if you end up in h.e.l.l again, Just a change of feeling wouldn"t that be better. Just stretch out your hand to the girl you love and head off to the next h.e.l.l."
"Let"s go to h.e.l.l together." At first, Lyn didn"t want to drag Kazuya into her problems. She wanted to do whatever she could to ensure that Kazuya stays far from danger. As long as Kazuya is safe, it didn"t matter what happened to her. His safety was the most important to her before, but now things have changed.
…..
"You"re pus.h.i.+ng it, aren"t you Princess Lyn? Was that you trying to give him a warning?"
Lyn sighed, "he really was around, huh?" This man is acting so unreasonable, appearing out of nowhere like that. Then again, since that time, he"s acted very anxious.
"Are you that worried? The plan is still heading in the right direction, you know?"
Silver"s gaze darkened, "There has been a change. Your dear sister is onto us."
"My sister?"
How come her sister knows? So many years have pa.s.sed since she met Silver. This plan - they"ve planned it for a long time. It doesn"t make sense that she suddenly knows. Lyn felt her body tremble in fear. Did her sister know this whole time? Otherwise, why would
"That crazy woman is on our trail. While n.o.body will believe your connection to us. Even if they find evidence, at most, it"s easy to say we threatened you."
Lyn shook her head, "I don"t mind getting caught. My hands are no longer clean. I"ve done plenty of bad things. I will atone for my crimes when the time comes."
Maniac laughter pa.s.sed Silver"s lips, "Atone, huh? If they find out someone of your status was helping us, they will kill you on the spot."
"Do you think I"d let anybody harm her?" a sharp voice cut through the air.
Lyn"s eyes widened when she hears Rhys voice. Didn"t he go back? What is he doing here? She turned and saw him walking down the hallway. He walked over to her and pulled her away from Silver.
"Hahahaa, so it was you following me. Hey Lyn, this guy is terrible. Do you know what he did to find out the truth?"
She doesn"t have to ask him, Lyn could see it on his face. Lyn wanted to scold him, but she knew there was no use in trying to do so now. Instead, she grabbed hold of his hand and shook her head. Lyn wanted him to stop speaking.
Rhys, however, gave her a pained smile, and her eyes widened, realizing what he was about to do. A bright light emerged from his palm, and before she could do anything, he raised his hand. A single blast to the ceiling, but that single blast was enough.
....
Courtyard
She is relieved when she saw n.o.body else was around. Lyn didn"t know how to explain this current situation.
"Rhys! Rhys, let me go--!" Lyn exclaimed.
"d.a.m.n it. I"m not going to do that. Are you crazy, Lyn? What were you thinking this whole time? Don"t you know what kind of guy that person is? He"s killed hundreds of people without batting an eyelid. Whether they are innocent or not, he doesn"t care. He can kill someone with--"
Lyn cuts him off, "I already know that."
"You"re crazy, d.a.m.n... You"re driving me crazy, Lyn."
Lyn looked down at her feet, "Why, why did you bother investigating? Because you think I"m suspicious?"
It doesn"t make sense for Rhys to do something like this.
