Chapter 151 - My Role (1/2)

Prince Ereland Mansion - Main Hall-

Prince Ereland has gone ahead and done it hasn't he? Although she expected it as much. When he parted with her earlier, Lyn felt that there was something different about him. Perhaps he already knew, either way, she will have to get out of here. Still, her sweatdropped, her gaze landed on the room; how on earth did she end up entertaining these guests?

'Prince Ereland is not here, and so it's only natural for you the lady to entertain his guests. '

Uh no, she doesn't understand that logic at all. Besides, it's not as though they are married or anything. Even so, that maid. . . is she new? She doesn't seem familiar. But then again numerous maids are working in this place and Prince Ereland only assigned a handful to her - she's only been here for a few hours Perhaps she still doesn't know the inside of this palace too well.

Lyn shook her head; she can't have her doubts now. Everyone is here; things will be okay. Her deep thoughts broke off when she felt the old man beside her slip his hand down her thigh.

. . .eh. .what... .?

”Now then, there's no need to keep up this farse is there? Even if you wear such a disguise, you can only be one person.”

”Indeed, Prince Ereland has only expressed interest in one girl.”

So she was found out, huh? But, Prince Ereland must have spoken about her, otherwise, why would these low-class nobles know about her? It is easy to distinguish between a low class noble and a high class one. High-class nobles do not wear excessive amounts of jewels or even lavish clothes. There are those like Lady Rei who choose a conservative style. While their clothing is still made from high-quality materials, they do not wear such bright and vibrant colors.

”I see. You know.”

”Yes. But don't worry we won't tell, as long as you do me and everybody else a favor,” the person who spoke to her was the man in charge. White hair, bright red garments. The outfit looked completely out of place on him, because of his bulging belly.

Do they think it's this easy? If they know who she is, then surely they must know. A favor, huh?

”Okay,” Lyn said, as she positioned herself on his lap. The moment she did, Lyn felt uncomfortable. She felt her breathing go unsteady, but Lyn quickly shook her head. It's okay; nothing will happen. This is the part of the plan that Kazuya was so reluctant about. Naturally, Lyn didn't like it either. But there was nobody else.

When Rhys found out about Shaarya, he suggested her instead. But that further strengthened her resolve on the matter. There is no way that she will let Shaarya go through this.

”Ah, as expected. In the end, you wish to get out of here as well. Now let's seal the deal.”

Before their lips could meet though, her eye color changed from vibrant purple to red. In a single second blood sprouted out from the center of the man's chest. ”What did you d--”

Lyn doesn't give them a chance to say anything else as she turned around. 'She's sorry this must be painful for you right now. But we have to escape from this place, for you to get better,' Lyn spoke to the voice in her head. For the longest time, Lyn thought she was crazy, but it was not like that at all. She really was hearing things.

By the time Lyn finished the entire place was covered in a red color.

Lyn got up and called out, ”You're there aren't you Rhys?” immediately after she said those words, Lyn felt a pair of arms wrap around her and Lyn sighed deeply, ”Quit messing around.”

”I'm not, I've missed you, Lyn.”

If he missed her, then he should have come for her sooner idiot. If he missed her, then he should have seen her off before she went. If he missed her, then he should have stopped her from coming here. If he missed her, then stay, don't... don't do those things anymore.

”I know. . . .” she murmurs softly. ”I spoke with Kazuya though, he's furious.”

Rhys deeply sighed, ”When isn't he? So, what did you tell him?”
