Chapter 122 - Joke (2/2)

A joke. So that's how Lyn saw what he did earlier. Even though he was right at the very end of his limit; and finally broke a part of the self-control he's had all these years. Does she have any idea how long he's been restraining himself? For her to call it a joke. This really puts a damper on his self-confidence. Then again, Lyn doesn't remember anything about those long years. She knows nothing.

”I understand. I won't,” Rhys said. He's not guaranteeing anything though. While they did make that agreement not too long ago. Rhys hadn't been able to control himself too well, or rather he lost it earlier. How do you control yourself when the girl you love is right in front of you? It's impossible.

At that comment, the princess eyes brightened up, ”Good, then lets sleep.”

It's apparent that she's relieved, that he wants to push her down.

”I'm relieved, after worrying about it for so long,” Lyn added, causing him to sigh even more. This stupid woman.

Don't say that out loud. But since earlier it's quite obvious that it has been on Lyn's mind. Even when she had to part ways with Kazuya, she seemed quite distracted. The one time he gets her attention of another guy; the ending conclusion is this, huh?

”Goodnight.”

”Night,” he returned those words. Guess he just ought to go to sleep now. Rhys was satisfied with the results already, getting such a strong reaction from her like this.

Oh, today is a little weird. Kazuya is usually the one sleeping next to her. There's never this much distance too. She's so accustomed to sleeping in his arms, so having even a small distance is weird. Maybe it's because of this distance. .. Rhys suddenly looks so large. Rhys has a face like this. She wants to touch, Lyn extended her hand out and gently caress his eyelids, nose ... and lips before. ...

Her thoughts broke off when he stirred awake, he looked at her with a complicated expression, ”I know you're curious, but curiosity has its limits.”

Gah-- she didn't think he was still awake. Lyn turned around, so she was no longer facing him. Today really is weird. ... She's a little bit more nervous than usual. However . ..perhaps she's learned something from this trip other than her original goal.

7:00 am

Lyn got up bright and early the following day and hurriedly left the tent. Waking up in Rhys arms like that was beyond embarrassing for her, thankfully when she woke up, she saw Kazuya making breakfast. He shot down a bird from the looks of the meat gathered on the board. Lyn buried her face in his back and inhaled his scent. This is better, she can calm down when she is with him.

Kazuya smiled, ”What's wrong?”

'Doesn't he know that Rhys slept in the tent with her?' From his reaction, it seems like he has no idea. Then she has to make sure that Kazuya doesn't see Rhys leaving the tent. Lyn didn't want him to misunderstand.

”I couldn't sleep well,” Lyn admitted.

”Mm, sorry. I'll sleep beside you tonight,” Kazuya turned her around and gently kissed her lips, ”My cute and adorable Lyn.”

Her gaze softened, ”Then, make sure you keep that promise.”
