Princess Lyn: Fleeting Dreams Chapter 41

But can she really just go ahead and accept his offer like this? After all, she's an engaged woman . While the concept of relations.h.i.+ps is a blur to her . Lyn understood that there are certain restrictions on women who are engaged already . But when she thought about it, how many of those has she broken since she met Kazuya? Lyn knew she already broke so many rules . An engaged woman has boundaries, boundaries that she can't break . Because of her happiness gaining a friend - having somebody else to talk to . Lyn completely dismissed those teachings and values .

"Is it awkward after all?" Kazuya asked . He must have noticed her expression, "I know you aren't used to things like this . . "

"Uh no, um . . " Lyn shyly tugged on his hand, "Please take care of me?"

Kazuya's cheeks turned slightly red, and she looked down, "Um, um Kazuya?"

"Wow… I'm getting embarra.s.sed . "

Wh--what?

Kazuya laughed, "This is more embarra.s.sing than I thought . "

Why is it embarra.s.sing for him?

. . . … . .

Year 4014 North Quarters

And just like that the two of them are in a fake relations.h.i.+p with each other . Even though some people may find it strange, there were those who saw it as being completely normal . Many people end up in a relations.h.i.+p without actually harboring any feelings for their partner whether they are engaged or trying to get rid of their engagement partner .

It sort of stung when Lyn thought of it that way . After all the people who do that don't like each other, they simply have an agreement .

"Big Bro-"

The expression on her brother's face was anything but happy and Lyn understood he heard about the exchange from earlier .

"Uh . . "

Andrew let out a relieved sigh, and he reached over to pat her hair, "It's a good thing you're safe . "

She raised her eyebrows and then it hit her .

"You knew?"

He looked away and then nodded, "To be exact, one of the guards saw the scene . He didn't know what to do, due to the guy's position . "

Lyn frowned at that comment . So somebody saw but ran away? It's true that she doesn't want them to end up in danger because of her, but it still stung . If she were Lethia, then Lyn is sure that that guard would rush in to help no matter what happened . A deep sigh pa.s.sed her lips, and she shook her head . No, don't think about it that way . From the very start, Lyn understood what her position in the family was .

It wouldn't surprise her if that guard did it deliberately . After all, that pa.s.sageway could only be unlocked unless somebody personally unlocked them . It's a shame that her memories of the incidence are too blurred, for her to make a concrete decision .

"How long will he stay?"

"A couple of months . "

Lyn flinched, a couple of months? Though she calmly dealt with him earlier . If Kazuya didn't come, eventually she would have broken down . A couple of months . In that time he would surely keep asking for her subtly . Like an idiot, her Second Brother will most likely keep inviting her over . The simplest solution would be to reject all invites from her Second Brother . But if she kept doing that, then people would get suspicious .

Contrary to his creepy behavior, Second Brother Kotaro treats her very well . He always dropped by her place and gave her gifts . He always checked the guards and made sure they weren't up to no good . Lyn never told him, but she appreciated him a lot .

Before Lyn could say anymore though, she hears a light knock at her door .

"Hey, Lyn?"

Ah? Lyn immediately recognized Kazuya's voice and unconsciously made her way towards the door . When her eldest brother yanked her back, Lyn was about to tell him to let go, when he put his hand to her mouth .

"So about earlier err, like I do understand it will be awkward . But I do want to make things work, and if something changes along the way, I'd be happy too…" Kazuya suddenly lets out a large yelp . "Ouch, Rhys . Don't hit me . "

"You sound like an idiot," a sharp voice commented .

"I'm just honest here . I want to tell her that I'm serious . Even if this is pretend for her, for me this is . . "

Her brother suddenly opened the door .

"Ah Lyn---" Kazuya trailed off when his gaze fell on her eldest brother, who still kept her close . "Prince Andrew . "

"You'll take care of her?"

Uh??

Kazuya's expression turned serious as he nodded, "Of course, I intend to protect her . "

Lyn felt brother push her forward, and Kazuya catches her, "Woah, easy there . "

She turned red, as she repeated the words 'protect' and what he said just now before the door opened . What does he mean? If something changes? If something changes, and then what… Lyn didn't really understand .

"For now, I'll turn a blind eye to this and allow you to continue seeing my sister . The moment you do not protect her, I'll simply take her away from you," Andrew said, "Is that understood?"

"Yes . "

With those words said, they watched her brother leave . Rhys is the first person to break the silence when he yanked her away from Kazuya's arms . "Well, you heard what he said . "

"He said those words to me not you . "

"I beg to differ, weren't you the one who came here to tell Lyn about our arrangement?"

A troubled look appeared on his face, and Kazuya scratched his head, "Aagh geez . I don't want to do this . But after much thought . Lyn, you should learn to defend yourself better . "

Eh?

Does this mean, Lyn turned to Rhys who stood directly behind her? Realizing how close they were, she moved away, but he pulled her back . Kazuya frowned, "Don't touch her; she's my girlfriend now . "

"Fake girlfriend . I can still steal her . "

"Aagh, I knew it! You have bad intentions towards her . "

"Who wouldn't after those lovely kisses we shared?"

Kisses, Lyn turned red as she recalled what transpired between her and Rhys . Lyn felt faint at the memory . The kisses the two of them shared were anything but ordinary . Though she knew he meant nothing behind it, it didn't stop an inexperienced girl like herself from getting embarra.s.sed .

"Aah, Lyn! d.a.m.n you, Rhys," Kazuya exclaimed .

Rhys sighed and pulled her up, or rather he scooped her up in his arms . Kazuya looked very bothered .

"Um, please put me down . "

Rhys shook his head, "I think I ought to tell you this first . I'm actually quite strict when it came to training people," she knew immediately where he what he was getting . "You're quite fragile from what I've seen . But I will not hold back if you want to truly use your powers to protect rather than to scare away those you care about . Then accept my offer, Lyn . "

" . . "

This person is dangerous, and she can see why Kazuya seemed hesitant . It's true despite her isolated lifestyle she's always lived a somewhat sheltered life . If she accepts this man's hand, it wouldn't surprise her if the peaceful world she knew this whole time collapsed in front of her . But, whenever she recalled the events as of late - pain spreads across her heart . Far too many people get involved with her, far too many people end up hurt . Lyn no longer wanted to see that . But can she really just go ahead and accept his offer like this? After all, shes an engaged woman . While the concept of relations.h.i.+ps is a blur to her .
