Chapter 90 - Signs Of Corruption (2/2)

Lyn, however, wasn't paying much attention to his words; it was swollen all over. Lyn got a brief glance at the Prince face earlier, the man's eye swollen, including his cheek. Rhys must have punched him repeatedly. It's a good thing they didn't manage to hurt him, ”Let's go back. I'll treat your wound.”

Rhys lips curve to a smile, ”In my room?”

”No stupid, the lounge,” Lyn murmured.

”Princess Lyn, who is this man?”

However Lyn didn't bother looking back, she looked over at Kazuya who had chased after her. She made eye contact with him; he seemed reluctant but nodded. 'Take care of the villagers,' no doubt everybody present here will get in trouble. But if Kazuya is around, this man's men won't be able to do anything.

- Inn- Lounge -

”So that's what happened,” Lyn said. Rhys had just finished telling the events.

”That was the guy the women in the brothel mentioned, huh? Already made a promise to beat up his face once I saw him. So even if he didn't come here boasting about beating those girls up, I would have walloped him.”

Lyn sighed while she didn't like the fact that those twins got hurt if he didn't show up with them, then Rhys would have hit the man with no reason. ”Don't be so careless, how can you protect me?”

Rhys sighed, ”Kazuya was with you, thought I didn't need to follow.”

She looked down at her feet when he said those words. Why does he have to make things so awkward for?

Her thoughts broke off when Rhys shrugged the bandages from his hand, ”Ah, why did you--” her sentence fell short when Rhys placed his hand in front of her, ”There's a quicker way remember?”

Lyn shook her head, ”How can you be so shameless,” she murmured, ”Even if I weren't in a relationship, I'm still a Princess. Don't you know what price you have to pay demanding things of a royal family member?”

”Price, huh, well, I can pay.”

”Please be serious.”

”I am.”

”Then, quit being so shameless,” Lyn exclaimed, but that only caused Rhys to stare at her with a more serious look than before. Lyn ignored him and continued to dress his wounds instead.

”That person is going to be problematic.”

”Ah?”

Rhys sighed, ”Well, I don't know how much you know about human trafficking. But, there are many twisted members of the elites out there who have nothing better than to do than gambrel their money away,” he trailed off, ”Not surprised?”

”No,” she murmured, ”I figured it was like this,” while they confined her for so long. During the rare times, she went out to Town; Lyn learned a lot. When she finally built a rapport with some people, she found out many things that she wouldn't have known better, ”It seems like it's the same down here too,” she had to admit she was a bit disappointed. But why is she so surprised, ”The Empire is corrupt.”

Her dream, her goal - she shouldn't limit it to the Mist Kingdom.
