Chapter 19 - Verbal Confrontation with the First Prince Of The Mist Kingdom (1/2)

Year 4014 Mist Kingdom Main Castle - Balcony on the 2nd floor -

So, what's the use of calling it a picnic and acting so mysterious about finding a good spot - when they are merely on the balcony? A deep sigh escaped his lips. There isn't a large enough age difference between him Lyn and Kazuya. But he does not see anything enjoyable about this at all. Still, his gaze landed on the girl who was smiling happily. It's not bad seeing her cheerful.

Rhys realizes a second later and sighed deeply. Is this woman a witch or something? He's only spent a few hours with her and yet he's already thinking about her happiness and stuff.

”What?”

”Is that all your eating?” Lyn asked.

Rhys gaze fell on his food; he had a plate out with a simple meal of bread and potatoes. He's never had the habit of overeating, even more so at night, ”Yeah,” Rhys said. The moment those words passed his lips though, Lyn started to remove several pieces of food from her plate to his. Though there was a whole load of food from the tray nearby, it was a hassle bringing it to the balcony. So they just left it outside the door. The Princess didn't bother with that at all.

He stared at her dumbfounded, ”Hey, I just said..”

Lyn nodded, ”Ah-huh this is better. It's no good if you don't get any nutrition. Your strong Rhys, so you need to eat regularly and not skip meals.”

”This isn't strength food,” he trailed off seeing the girl's expression. A deep sigh passed his lips, ”Alright, I'll eat.”

”Very good!”

No sooner had he raised his fork to eat though, Rhys discovered rather than the food on the plate disappearing. The opposite was happening; he looked over in the direction where the food came from.

”Oi,” Rhys said irritated. Kazuya froze, ”Isn't it bad that the Princess over here is doing it, but you also?”

”Lyn makes a point, your not eating.”

What is it with these two and food? A deep sigh passed Rhys lips, ”It's late, and you're making me eat all this?” he commented while pointing to his plate that was overflowing.

Lyn laughed, ”Aha, it's too full now.”

Such innocent laughter, it's refreshing to the ears. Honestly, Rhys has never encountered this type of female before. Is that why he's so drawn? Maybe it's because he spent the last two years

”Ah, you should have some of this. It's yummy,” Lyn lifted her spoon to put the piece on his place. But Rhys bends down and eats it.

”Yeah, it's good.”

Lyn looked down nervously, ”Oh...” this however did not go un-noticed by Kazuya.

”Rhys, you better not have done anything to Lyn.”

”Hm?”

Kazuya looks at him questioningly, ”She's not like the other girls, so don't even think about it.”

”Your being oddly vague Mr. Genius.”

”Anything...” Lyn trailed off, and Rhys watched as the girl's cheeks colored. This, however, didn't go unnoticed by Kazuya.

”Gahhh? What did you do to her?”

”Relax, we only shared a kiss. Didn't you do the same?” At that comment of his, Kazuya panicked. Rhys continued, ”So you see I did nothing wrong. In fact,” he pulled Lyn towards him.

”I'll show you.”

Before Kazuya could react, Rhys already bent down to capture the girl's lips with his. It was fairly easy to kiss her after what happened between them earlier. Easy to pry her mouth open and stick his tongue in hers. The girl was meek contrary to all the spunk she usually shows. Perhaps it's because this was a situation that caught her of guard. But the ordinarily spunky Princess was entirely still during the time he was kissing her. For somebody who does not know how to kiss, she sure is good at this. When he finally pulled away, the girl's lip covered in his saliva. Rhys whistled, and as for the girl, she remained utterly stunned.

”Aghhh! Rhys you — ” Kazuya cursed. The Princess remained stunned, and Kazuya quickly pulled her away, ”Lyn, don't think about it. This guy—”

Lyn wiped her mouth quickly much to his dismay, ”D—do the Sound Kingdom people kiss for greetings or something?” Lyn blurted out.

Rhys blinked before he burst into laughter, ”I wonder what circ.u.mstances lead to you two kissing, huh I get it.” So there was no need for him to feel that petty envy from earlier than.

”Damn Rhys, it's not funny.”

”But it is,” he said with a sly smile, ”Right, Lyn?”

Two and a half hours later
