Chapter 115 - The Woman Named Beth (2/2)

Lyn, who was struggling to keep calm, turned red then. Didn't she know that already? Rhys is always sleeping around with other women and has different women's scents on him. She should know better than anyone since she's hung around Rhys for so long.

”I used to work in those places until Rhys bought me,” Beth suddenly said.

Her eyes go wide, 'Huh, wait, eh?' Lyn stared at Beth puzzled.

”You see Lady Lyn; it's not uncommon to find such areas in the slums of any Kingdom. I was originally from the Stone Kingdom, and there are many places like that there. One day I was called on for services at a noble home, that was when I met Rhys. He saved me from getting harassed from the nobleman who invited me there. It seemed like the man had ulterior motives, of course, if he paid that much then fair enough I would have provided the service. But he didn't, so I refused. He got angry, and even used his blade on me,” Beth trailed off, ”Do you mind if I tell you this?”

Lyn shook her head, ” I don't, go ahead,” rather she's often heard of similar tales from the female servants in the castle. There truly are disgusting noblemen out there.

”Initially he was still calm and so was I. I still intended to provide the services he did pay for. But when I heard somebody knocking on the door saying, 'When is it out turn?' I realized I was set up. At that time, I was one of the most sought out female in the Sound Kingdom. It was natural for this kind of thing to happen, but I didn't think one of our best customers would have the nerve to pull that move.”

”Corruption and greed exist in peoples hearts,” Lyn nodded, ”You can't avoid it,” even somebody like her who has lived an isolated lifestyle understands that much. After all, in the few times that she can go out. Lyn saw it with her own two eyes.

Beth nodded, ”That's true, but even then, as a young girl that came as a surprise to me.”

”Ah, when did you two meet?”

”Let's see it was when I was fifteen, so... ten years ago now?”

Ah, so Beth is twenty-five. Rhys is, ”Um, exactly how old is Rhys?”

”Twenty.”

Twenty, he's only four years older than her. But he always acts so mature, so Lyn thought he was much older than her. Beth turned left, and Lyn followed after her as the two of them climbed up a long staircase.

”He was ten years old then, and yet he saved me. Honestly, he didn't look like a ten-year-old kid to me. He was much taller than those his age, and his grudge language - his appearance. One wouldn't think of him as a child. But I knew right away when I offered my services he turned red in embarrassment,” Beth laughed, ” It was cute.”

”Rhys blushed?!” Lyn exclaimed. Wahhh, she wants to see that. An embarrassed Rhys, ”How lucky...”

Beth smiled, ”It's quite easy to make him embarrassed Lady Lyn, should I tell you?”

”Yes, please!” She can use this chance not only to learn from her role model but to find out Rhys weakness. The woman leaned forward and whispered a few things in her ear. Lyn's cheeks slowly turned a bright shade of red, ”W—w—h—what? I can't do that.”

She definitely can't, especially after what she just told him. Beth shrugged her shoulders. ”Suit yourself Lady Lyn, but it will be the one chance you'll get to have something over Rhys. I would say go for it.”

”I'm dating Kazuya,” Lyn reminded her. Doing something that suggestive and intimate with another guy doesn't seem right to her.

”Oh, true,” Beth said as though she just realized, ”Then I'll do it, and you can hide away and watch. You'll see, he gets embarrassed easily.”

”O—okay,” she somehow agreed to that suggestion.

Beth continued, ”So, where was I? Ah yes, after I heard that, I threatened to end my life, but then he hit me with a vase from behind. I fell unconscious, and when I woke up, I was in a dire situation. But before anything could happen to me, Rhys appeared from the window. Casually with a cup of alcohol, he said, 'I've always had a bad habit drinking in places that aren't mine,' and before anybody could register what was happening. Rhys had already won the fight.”

So it was something like that.
