Chapter 67 - Valuable Research Material (2/2)

”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 relationship with Kazuya flow naturally. With the way things are developing between them lately, it's just about time before things advance in their relationship. 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 shifted 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 relationsh.i.p.s. 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.
