Chapter 206 - Another Mystery (2/2)

”I go out.”

”You're always napping.”

Somehow, she doesn't get the same feeling from them that she did before. When she first met well two of them, Lyn was quite afraid. However now. Lyn tugged on Kazuya's arm and whispered, ”Maybe we can ask them for help?”

Though the Princess left them a map, it was tough to follow. Kazuya seemed reluctant but nodded.

”Um, excuse me,” Lyn called out.

”What---?” Michael snapped his head angrily; his eyes widened when he saw her.

Leo immediately rushed over, ”Oi, oi! Don't blow your cover.”

”The King already saw me out, didn't you guys know?”

”Eh? His majesty?” Leo seemed confused, alongside the third Knight.

The third Knight had a mixture of surprise on his face. It seemed like he wasn't sure what to do either. The ginger hair one, however, stepped forward, ”Princess Lyn, right?”

”Yeah.”

”Your majesty asked us to look after you while you look around the Kingdom.”

Did he? Lyn looked at the man cautiously, with his lazy expression, it was hard to tell whether he was just making it up or not. ”I'm Reiji, and this is the note from his majesty.”

Lyn carefully accepted the note; it was short despite the length of the scroll. The King was welcoming her here, and telling her to enjoy. 'Feel free to use my Knights as you wish.' She handed the note to Kazyuya, ”Um, what do you think?” unfortunately Lyn wasn't sure whether or not her judgment is correct. So she didn't want to decide so quickly.

”It seems legit; we might as well. They do know the area, right Rhys?”

Since she went over to the Knights, Lyn noticed that there was something wrong with Rhys. He kept staring at the ginger hair Knight.

”Where are you guys going?”

”Ah, um to meet with Princess Eva.”

”Follow me,” Reiji said. Doesn't he have to look at the map? Or does he know where they are heading?

”Hey Reiji, when did the King give you that note?” the third Knight seemed very displeased.

But even then Lyn noticed how wary the man was of Reiji. How odd, doesn't the third Knight have a higher ranking? Now that she thought about it, Reiji didn't introduce himself with his rank. Lyn reached over and tugged on the edge of Rhys sleeves, ”What are you mumbling about?”

”Princess Lyn, you know when you take the initiative to get close it makes me think things.”

At that comment, Lyn immediately stepped away and let's go of his cloak. ”What are you thinking? I'm just wondering what is wrong.”

Why does this guy always have to think of odd things? Can't she be concerned for him the normal way? Or is being intimate all that goes through his head. Maybe he misses Beth? No, Lyn shook her head. Even if it was harsh, Lyn understood the relationship between the two now. She doesn't get why Rhys treat Beth differently. But it had nothing to do with Rhys feelings.

Lyn quickly shook her head, 'Why is she even thinking about this?' Lyn thought.

”By the way, I wasn't going to mention this. But aren't you the chick that always hangs around Shioka?” Reiji suddenly spoke up. It surprised her that he was asking her questions.

'Always hangs around, they barely see each other.' Due to her circ.u.mstances, contact is limited after all. ”We don't see each other that often.”

It was brief, but a sly smirk appeared on Reiji's face, ”Is that so? He's always going on and on about his master. So I assumed you two meet a lot.”

What has that stupid guy been saying? Lyn sighed, ”Not at all.” She should send him a message later on. If Shioka keeps talking like that, her eldest brother is going to hear and who knows what will happen next.
