Chapter 208 - Dyed Red (2/2)

Indeed Lyn could see her reflection in the mirror. Her skin color had lost its natural glow & l.u.s.ter and was completely pale. Her arms looked more fragile and thin ...huh? When did she become this way?

Rhys carefully put her down; however, she wrapped her arms around his neck. ”Stay with me...please stay with me.”

”Alright.”

Lyn wanted to ask Rhys where Kazuya was. But she could already guess. If he isn't here after she collapsed, then he's definitely picking a fight, like an idiot

…..

When she had woken up again, she had noticed that Rhys was no longer there, but she placed her hand on the seat. It's still warm; he must have left only a few moments ago. Her gaze landed on the window area; a warm orange color filled the room. It's already this late? How long has she been out for? However, unlike when she woke up earlier, she felt so much better than before. She felt better.

”You're up.”

Her thoughts broke off when Lyn saw pale ginger hair, ”Ah,” Lyn recalled the moment she passed out. The one who caught her was him.

”It's nothing. More importantly, do you feel better?”

Lyn was about to get up when she felt the dizziness take over her again, and the person immediately caught her. ”Careful. Though your friend healed you, walking around now in your state would be foolish.”

So Rhys healed her. But friend, huh? It certainly felt strange hearing somebody say her and Rhys are friends.

”I didn't have time to introduce myself properly before. But I'm one of the King's Knights.”

Lyn nodded, 'He's still concealing his rank,' Lyn mumbled in her head. But, she has already met the 1st-3rd knight. He's the 4th right? Lyn heard that the Snow Kingdom royal family main Knight squad only had six spots. Unlike other royal families who would normally have a group of twelve. But, why did Lyn get the feeling that something was wrong with her analysis?

”I was going to say earlier. But the King said you'd be in my care for a while.”

Ahh…so the next person who was to watch over her was this person? ”Of course, you'll still be able to perform your duties but under my supervision.”

”I see.”

”You don't seem to be too surprised.”

”My eldest brother told me about it before. She said that my Father plans for me. Since we didn't end up having that fight with the connect. Father took advantage of this and said before they attack I should learn to control my powers from other groups of knights,” Lyn said. Though she was reluctant to stop her training with Rhys, she liked the idea of learning more about the strength of Knights from different Kingdoms.

Even though she was learning a lot, there were still so many things she didn't understand, especially about the specialties between different groups.

”I see….” he trailed off, ” Look, I'm sure you sensed it earlier, but I'm...”

”A noble. I know.”

”That's right, but I'm not a normal one. I'm that bastard's son Ozaki,” Reiji cursed. When she first met this man, Lyn got a lazy impression. But now she could sense something serious about him.

Her face color went pale at the mention of the man. It made her sick thinking of him, so he's Ozaki's son. So that's how it is, but for him to be here - for him to be a leader, then he must have left that side.
