Sensing Kazuya's silence, Lyn panicked. Does he not like the gift? Was this a bad move? She read in one of those books Pupillam gave her that there's a thing called certain stages to being in a relationship. Maybe giving a present is too soon? But the book said it's okay after a week, then again the book also said it depends on what gift you get the person.
Did she make the wrong choice? Lyn knew from observing the General over the years that men stay away from jewelry of any kind. They don't wear it since it hinders them on the battlefield.
While that may not be the exact reasoning for Kazuya to reject it, Lyn cursed herself. She ought to have thought it through more carefully. But, the moment she saw that stone, she thought it was perfect for Kazuya. As these thoughts ran through her mind, Lyn didn't see the smile that appeared on Kazuya's face until he picked her up and lifted her towards the sky.
"Wahh, um?" she said startled.
