Chapter 162 - Irrationality and logic (2/2)
”You heard?”
”Don't act so casual about it, I can't believe you,” Kazuya shook his head, ”Why did you do that to her? Did it ever occur to you that it will bring back past wounds? You know about the incidence with Prince John.”
”I know,” Rhys sighed, ”Honestly, I wasn't thinking straight.”
Kazuya glared at him, ”Don't give me that excuse.”
”It's not an excuse. I wasn't thinking straight. All I knew was that you weren't around; things were awkward with her fiancé. It was my chance. Besides, you have a fiance,” Rhys sighed, ”And you've met with her recently too right? Our dear Princess, there's a mark on your neck.”
Shoot! Kazuya tried to patch up the marks with magic but ...
”Fool, you'll burn yourself,” Rhus sighs deeply, ”If your going to regret it, then you shouldn't have done so in the first place..”
”I don't regret it,” Kazuya said.
”So is that a, I'll be breaking up with Lyn?”
”Your the one who said that.” he trails off, ”Although I'm already in a bad enough position and saying this would make me seem like the lowest of low. But I don't regret anything.”
”Did you actually do anything with her though?”
”Nothing,” Kazuya sighed, ”I couldn't. Sure I spent time with her and all. Spending time with her, in general, made me happy. I enjoyed being with her. But that like isn't enough for me to break up with Lyn. No matter how much I enjoy being with her - the one I'd always prioritize, the one that always comes to mind first is Lyn,” Kazuya declares. That's right, no matter what he does, the one he always think of so very dearly is only one girl. Even if he enjoys spending time with that person, whenever he thought about Lyn, his heartbeat won't stop. Her smile and everything about her fills him up.
Rhys gaze softened, ”It's good you answered that way; otherwise, I would have walloped you.”
”What's this, you were holding back?”
”I was. I was. It may be alright now, but I do think that chick will do anything to keep you beside her.”
”Are you saying she will become harmful to Lyn?”
Rhys rubbed the back of his neck and exhaled, ”I noticed it when she went to find me. But what that person did to that girl clearly isn't normal. Sure she's had control over it these past few years. But that control could break if her emotions break down. If by chance it becomes harmful, then, you must stop her before anybody else does.”
”She is still our countries, Princess; I don't think she will do anything too drastic.”
”I don't understand the elders. Asking you to seduce another woman, when you're engaged already. Speaking of which, does Lyn know about it?”
Kazuya sighed, ”I should tell her, shouldn't I?”
Rhys nodded, ”You better do so before she finds out from somebody else. It would be troublesome for you if that happened, right?”
Just as Rhys said those words, he hears a clattering sound by the door. Kazuya immediately stood up despite his injuries and opened the door. There stood Lyn - she hadn't run off, but she dropped the basket.
”Lyn..”
