Princess Lyn: Fleeting Dreams

A few days later, Year 4014- Mist Kingdom .

"So, we agreed to escort you there . But did your Mother permit you to come here?" Rhys asked .

The three of them were in the central library in the middle of town . The reason why is because of the request her mentor said, "There"s a special parcel I need picking up, would you fetch it for me?" While it was an unusual request, Lyn didn"t want to dwell on the details . It meant leaving town, not just town but the Mist Kingdom . The parcel her mentor wanted her to fetch is in the Land of Snow . A place completely further away and different from the Mist Kingdom . When Lyn heard that, she immediately said yes without a second thought .

Kazuya and Rhys offered to go with her, or rather, that was the only way she could leave . With Pupillam busy with her family affairs, and the General busy with the army - Kazuya and Rhys were the only ones her eldest brother allowed to act as her escort .

"Mother is busy lately, so Mentor asked Eldest Brother before he came to see me . "

"So, he just naturally a.s.sumed that you would say yes?"

Lyn rolled her eyes, why does Rhys sound like he is getting defensive for? Forget about him though; she turned to her boyfriend - it still felt strange saying that . But Lyn is slowly starting to get used to it . She went from having no clue about romance to having a boyfriend in the spam of almost two months, miracles happen huh?

"Kazuya?" she called out to her boyfriend who sat across from her .

Since earlier, he seemed rather s.p.a.ced out, "What"s wrong?"

He suddenly bent down and kissed her lips, "Nothing much . "

Okay, so he doesn"t want to tell her, that"s fine and all . But why did he kiss her? Aren"t kisses supposed to happen under romantic situations? But she does like the feeling of his lips on hers, so she won"t comment .

"Doesn"t this library give you the creeps?" Kazuya asked .

"Yeah, I was thinking so too . "

Lyn looked at them, confused, "Really? I come here all the time," or at least whenever they let her out . But she had to admit it had been quite some time since she last came here . Ever since they lifted the restriction regarding her going out . Lyn used that chance to explore different towns in the Mist Kingdom .

Kazuya brushed his hand across her face, "Well if you say so, are you okay? You still have a fever . "

"I"m okay, I wanted to do some research before we go," Lyn explained . Though she understood it is better to see things in person, and that these books will contain limited information . It"s not just that, underneath all the research materials were books regarding relations.h.i.+ps .

Pupillam gave her those other books to read before, but the General and Gabrielle told her to stop reading books on relations.h.i.+ps . Gabrielle insisted that while romance stories are nice and all,

Rhys, however, sat close to her, so he saw what she was reading . He laughed, and she frowned, "It"s not funny," because it really isn"t . This is valuable research material!

"Princess don"t act like an idiot, do you actually think you will learn anything from those books?" Rhys tone indicated he was half amused; half offended, "It"s better if you experience it in person . "

Gabrielle said the same thing, so maybe she should just let her relations.h.i.+p with Kazuya flow naturally . With the way things are developing between them lately, it"s just about time before things advance in their relations.h.i.+p . If Rhys and Yuzuhara didn"t interrupt the other day, she wonders what would have happened between her and Kazuya . She doesn"t want to be unprepared . She wants to be ready .

It"s strange, a few months ago all Lyn thought about was what she could do to go out more . What she could do to help the people, that"s why she took her lessons seriously despite the limited knowledge they taught her . It"s still the same now; nothing"s really changed . Her goals, her dream is still there . But in contrast to before, it"s gotten a lot stronger, and she no longer wants to do it alone . She wonders if Kazuya also shares the same dream as her . It would be nice if that were the case . Then again, only crazy people would share the same dream as her .

If she thought about it, her dream is only possible if she somehow managed to convince Mother . If not, it meant Mother being dethroned, something that would be completely suicidal for the Mist Kingdom right now .

Her thoughts broke off when Rhys picked up one of the books, and he whistled, "You should go to the back pages . There"s some stuff here that they forgot to censor . "

Lyn"s cheeks grew hot at those words, "I"m not reading that . "

"But, do you really expect to learn by reading a bunch of text? You have to be kidding me . "

Rhys looked very amused .

Lyn puffed her cheeks up into a pout, "Then do you have a better idea?" she shot back . Geez, why does Rhys always try to shoot down all her good ideas? It"s not fair .

"Yeah, I do . "

She raised her eyebrows at his automatic reply; he actually has one? Eh? Her thoughts broke off when Rhys edged closer to her . Lyn s.h.i.+fted in her seat uncomfortably as she found him staring at her, "I wonder though, if it"s you, hmmm," Rhys muttered to himself . Lyn did not want to know what he was talking about . If its Rhys, its definitely something weird, no doubt about it .

Still, she knew he was speaking the truth . While books are valuable research material when it concerns relations.h.i.+ps . Lyn knew better than to rely on them .

"Kazuya? Rhys is bothering me . "

At that comment, Kazuya snapped out of his daze and frowned . He stood up and made his way over and took the other seat beside her, "Don"t bother Lyn," it was just three words . But Rhys shut up .

A troubled look plastered on his face, "You know, I was only helping her gather her valuable research material . "

"Hmm? Are you researching something?"

Lyn"s eyes widened in alarm, stupid Rhys!!! Kazuya is going to think she"s some sort of weirdo .A few days later, Year 4014- Mist Kingdom . So, we agreed to escort you there .
