Chapter 183 - Cursed Fate (1/2)

Lyn always wondered if she deserved to remember those fond memories. A person like her who is cold and hard to approach.

Kazuya is the same as her, though.

He gave off such a dangerous, don't approach aura and yet because he showed up in her life first, she became attracted to him. At least that's how it was supposed to be from the beginning, from the beginning that's how it was meant to be. Yet maybe a long time before they even started going out with each other she was already in love with him. That time too, she thought she only fell in love and accepted that person, to get rid of the pain of losing, but that hadn't been the case. It wasn't true, and perhaps deep down back then she already knew that even if it hadn't been evident at the time.

Her thoughts broke off when Rhys suddenly yelled. Lyn had been too absorbed in her own thoughts that she hadn't noticed the two fighting. When she saw the pained look in his eyes, she immediately understood.

He left the room in a hurry and Lyn immediately chased after him. Thankfully Rhys had not gotten too far yet.

”Rhys,” Lyn called out rushing forward until she almost tripped over. However, as moments pass nothing happened at all. She opened her eyes to see that once again, Rhys had caught her. But unlike before she noticed how much closer they were, her face color goes a bright shade of red. So close….this is bad.

”Honestly you. Is this tradition now or something?” Rhys said. He didn't notice her flushed cheeks; otherwise, he would have teased her.

Take a deep breath and relax. Why does she act like this around Rhys, anyway? It's not like...

His eyes…lately they seem to get redder. Yes, Lyn noticed it, the permanent red color - as if dyed in scarlet. Rhys must have noticed her staring since he tightened his grip on her, ” You know… you shouldn't be gazing at guys like that so easily.”

”Why?”

”Don't make me say it, idiot,” Rhys said. Even though he said hostile things like that. Even though he said mean things like that Lyn knew that he didn't mean it. In fact…he always pulled a different expression each time. Every single time there was something different. Is that why she was so interested? What kind of expression was he making now? She was curious to know.

Rhys turned away from her, yet she could see it. His face beat red and all the way up to his ears too. Ah….since when did Rhys do cute things like that?

A chuckle escaped her lips, ”I see, I think I understand,” it feels like this is the first time in days since she could laugh. To think it was because of Rhys.

”We really shouldn't stay here any longer, but I don't think they intend for us to leave.”

”Ah-huh,” Lyn trailed off, ”Maybe we should consider some spying?”

”Hmmm, that doesn't sound like a bad idea. But what do you think we should do?”

”I have an idea; I'll ask somebody I know to help us.”

”For somebody who is supposed to be a hidden existence. Don't you have far too many connections?”

Ah, Lyn sighed, ”Well, all these meetings were brief and short.”
