Lyn observed Kazuya carefully; he keeps making those expressions for a while now . How much time has pa.s.sed? Since Kazuya"s smile became so rare? Why does she see such a clouded expression on his face these days? But even the rare times he smiles these days, it"s only his fake smile . Unconsciously Lyn leaned closer and closer to Lyn, which did not go unnoticed by him .

"Hmm? What is it, Lyn?"

"Nothing," it"s nothing, at least nothing she can talk to him about . If Lyn brought up her concerns regarding him wearing a fake smile these days, then he would simply do a better job at hiding it, and that is something she does not want him to do . Kazuya is very good at hiding things after all .

Kazuya leaned forward and gently kissed her forehead, eyelids, nose, and lips, "Nothing, huh?" he repeated, "But you look anxious . "

It"s because it"s about him, "Kazuya, can we go to town and investigate ourselves?" Lyn asked . Maybe she can speak about it with him, but not with Rhys around . Rhys will make things worse .

"Actually, there"s a martial arts tournament . Prince Ereland especially invited Rhys and me," Kazuya pulled out two envelopes from his pocket .

Lyn looked at the envelopes in disgust, "He"s inviting Rhys, after that unreasonable excuse of a fight yesterday?" While Rhys won the fight, he sustained wounds from the unjust methods of Prince Ereland . Even the whole sheath attack, Prince Ereland used the girl"s as hostages at first, and Rhys had to be careful with his every move .

"Rhys didn"t get that hurt right? He should be fine . "

Ah, that"s right . Kazuya only saw the hand injury, before Lyn could say anything; however, Rhys stood up, "Guess that"s an excuse for me to eat more, maybe I"ll empty the place . "

Kazuya grinned, "Now you"re talking . "

While the two stood up to get more food, Lyn"s gaze fell on the invitation . Curiosity got the best of her, and she opened Kazuya"s one up, Lyn"s gaze darkened as she read the contents . "This isn"t a simple invitation," she thought . But Kazuya left it here so casually, so that means he doesn"t intend to keep this from her, correct?

- Stadium - 9:00am

Prince Ereland must be an idiot . He did not come over to personally greet her, but he sent his head knight down indicating she was a distinguished guest of his . The reactions from the rest of the villagers were a mixture of disgust and uncertainty . Lyn is relieved that they do not all dislike her since she did form quite strong bonds with them . Still, everybody is cautious towards her . n.o.body will approach her as they did before . Prince Ereland so-called plan is for her to be isolated and backed to a corner . So, she can ask him for help .

Lyn rolled her eyes at that thought . Why is that man so obsessed with her? They"ve barely spoken a few sentences with each other, besides isn"t he a lot older than her? He"s older than the creepy guy from the Stone Kingdom . Feeling somebody look at her, Lyn looked down and found Kazuya waving .


She shyly waved back, "Such an idiot," Lyn thought, but Lyn called out, "Kazuya, good luck!"

This earned the attention of the other contestants and the crowd, while a martial arts tournament is different from a Joust . One thing has not changed . If the highest rank female bestows their favor on a particular individual, then that person acts as their representative . Lyn wanted to make it clear to everybody, that nothing is going on with her and Prince Ereland, and that she intended to support Kazuya . Sure enough, once she did that some villagers started to cheer for Kazuya too .

Her lips curve to a smile; she didn"t have to look over to know that Prince Ereland was fuming in anger . Lyn"s gaze landed on the seat beside Kazuya and frowned . Huh? "Rhys isn"t here, where did he go?" Lyn thought . Maybe he"s in the bathroom? He did eat all that food . Lyn tried to rea.s.sure herself that was it, but as seconds turned into minutes . She felt herself getting more worried so, Lyn slipped away, it"s an urgent situation .

Where did he get to? After she walked around for a while, Lyn arrived at the changing room area and heard a sound . Oh, it"s his voice, he"s in here . Lyn opened the door indeed to spot Rhys there; he"s here . But what is he doing? Lyn peered at him carefully, Rhys was leaning against the desk, her back facing away from her but she noticed a box of medical supplies opened . Ahh?

She burst into the room then, "Are you okay? Rhys??" Lyn asked .

"Quit shouting, you"ll attract too much attention," Lyn does so and made her way over . Rhys lifted his sleeve up .

Her eyes widened at the sight of the injury, " Y—your hand," she stammered . If it were just a simple bruise, she wouldn"t be so worried . But this wasn"t a simple wound; the swelling seemed to worsen the more Rhys moved his hands . From the looks of it, the wound had reopened, since she could see the color of blood, "It"s getting worse! What"s going on?"

"It"s nothing . I just practiced a bit, and strained my hand," Rhys explained .

Lyn"s eyes widened, realizing what he meant . "It"s because he was helping her with training .

"But in such a state . How can you fight?" Lyn questioned, she shook her head, "You"ll definitely lose . Why didn"t you tell Kazuya?"

"I was going to actually, even I"m not that suicidal . But," Rhys trailed off, "I saw the look in his eyes, and couldn"t say no . "

Lyn paused, and she immediately understood what he meant . She understood that feeling . Whenever she saw that look on Kazuya"s eyes . It motivates a person to try their best to live up to his expectations . Still, it"s a bit surprising . Rhys cares for Kazuya that much? Lyn could never figure out why two completely different people like Rhys and Kazuya became friends . But, there is no doubt that the two are very good friends who have each other"s backs . It"s quite envious .Lyn observed Kazuya carefully; he keeps making those expressions for a while now . How much time has pa.s.sed? Since Kazuyas smile became so rare?
