Chapter 114 - I want something to change (1/2)

Lyn didn't like how Rhys was casually talking about human experiments. It's true for the rare individuals who they don't lock up; they tend to have people observing them and conducting tests from time to time. However, it doesn't sit well with her. This whole idea of human experiments does not sit well with her at all. Still, there is no use arguing about it with him now. Lyn continued listening to him talk about the Rose Sychthe. It really is the same one from the legends then. Lyn heard that the council kept the weapon in a secret area only a few people in the Empire knew about. But how come Kazuya had it?

”Our Kingdom's Princess gave it to him,” Rhys explained to her.

”The Sound Kingdom's Princesses?” the two of them had left the area of the harbor behind already, and was walking through the main streets.

”She's frail at health and seldom makes any appearances.”

So that's it, but, huh? Why does the Sound Kingdom Princess have the weapon? Lyn is pretty sure that they kept it in a place where the other Kingdoms couldn't find it. How unusual, does Rhys think that she knows nothing about the weapon? Otherwise why else would he reveal the name of the one who had the weapon? Before she uses it, she ought to ask mentor or Kyou on the details. Lyn would cause her family a lot of problems if they found her using an illegal weapon.

”In the first place, there's a reason why Kazuya gave you this weapon,” Rhys said.

Her thoughts broke off when she hears Rhys words; she blinked surprised, ”Eh?”

Rhys sighed at her reaction, ”Don't tell me you thought he just gave it to you without thinking?” Lyn said nothing in response and Rhys seemed to grow more agitated, ”As careless as he is, he's still the strongest person in the Sound Kingdom and a young prodigy.”

Her eyes widened, ”Kazuya is a genius?”

”You didn't even know that?”

”I didn't,” she trailed off and sighed, ”Kazuya doesn't like talking about things like that regarding himself. He talks about his likes and dislikes. But he doesn't like mentioning anything like how other people see him.”

Lyn assumed at first that Kazuya was simply hiding it away, due to the whole strongest guy in the Sound Kingdom thing. If he spoke about how others praised him and stuff, wouldn't he look like a show-off? So it's only reasonable that he doesn't say anything. Now that she thought about it, there's no need to ask him directly. To satisfy her curious mind, she could just ask Rhys.

”Hey, even if you look at me like that I won't tell you anything.”

Lyn leaned forward, ”Please?” she wants to learn more about Kazuya. Then maybe she can understand her feelings about him as she thought this Rhys bent down and kissed her. Lyn immediately moved away from him. 'That's right, she can't ask this person,' Lyn thought. The moment she remotely gets close to him, he does something like this.

”Let's go back to the inn already.”

”Wait a minute,” Lyn said, and Rhys paused, she took a deep breath, ”I want you to stop doing that. I won't stop you from liking me or pursuing me; you're free to do that as you wish. However, you have to stop kissing me randomly.”
