Chapter 180 - The First Knight of the Snow Kingdom (1/2)

”I don't think you should stay here any longer,”

”But what about,” Lyn said. She had resolved herself to come here. Going all the way back now really seemed like a waste, in her opinion.

”Listen, woman do you really still want to stay here? Even if I give them a warning, they'll only listen this time. The next time I leave you alone, they'll get to you for sure, and they'll torture you even more than before. There's no guarantee that I'll always be with you as,” Rhys mumbled, Lyn could tell how angry and frustrated he was. ”I didn't think that they'd do anything like this. Sure I figured they'd tried to bite you and that's a normal reaction from us demon beings. But I didn't think that they'd do anything more than that.”

Natural huh....then does that mean that all this time that person was suppressing such urges? ” Would the same go for the dark princess?” Lyn asked.

Rhys nodded, ”The urges from them are actually worse. Especially in the presence of a regular existence.”

”So, you know about us?” Leo interjected.

”I'm aware the Knights of order here, use dark magic, correct.”

Leo frowned, ”How did you find out?”

”Let's just say; you guys aren't exactly as subtle as you think.

'Don't provoke him,' she thought. But it was far too late. Lyn felt the air turn menacing and she reached over and hugged Rhys's arm. Like she thought, Rhys looked at her, surprised. His gaze turned soft, ”Let's get going. Lyn is tired; I want her to rest soon.”

”You know, it's gross how sweet you two act around each other. I don't know about the other guy, but I wouldn't be surprised if you two were a couple.”

”Hmmm, hear that? We make a good couple.”

Lyn rolled her eyes, ”Yes, yes. Let's get going,” she felt tired. While meeting the King is important, Lyn wanted to be well-rested before meeting him. It seems like the King is impatient to meet with her, though. Allen being there is more than enough proof.

...

It didn't take them long to reach the throne room, unlike the throne room in the Mist Kingdom. This one was quite unusual, the

Lyn immediately recognized Allen.

A deep sigh that she had been holding back escaped her lips. Just seeing that he was okay made her feel so relieved. Lyn took a few steps closer, and no sooner had she got closer did she find herself in Allen's arms.

”Allen?”

”You're here; nothing went wrong?” Allen asked. Lyn instinctively placed her hand on her neck, and Allen immediately noticed. He removed her hand and frowned, ”It seems like you'll have to add this to your list of apologies, Mr first knight.”

”It was my own kind who acted on their own violation; I shall punish him severely.”

Leo, who just entered the room with Rhys, immediately fell to the ground. Since she was in Allen's arms, Lyn couldn't see who he was talking to. The first Knight? So, the King should be here nearby, right? More importantly, right now, Lyn felt a menacing presence. The First Knight was clearly angry. Is it because of her?
