Chapter 212 - Othello (2/2)

Lyn shook her head, ”That doesn't make us like them.”

Shu leaned on his hand as he looked over at her. ”Hmm, whenever Othello sees you with me. He gets raged with envy.” She supposed that did sort of make her happy to hear that. But... ” That's probably because your boyfriend has no faith in you, right?”

At that, her cheeks immediately color, ”Boyfriend?”

Seeing her reaction, Shu's eyes widened, ” Eh? He isn't. I seriously thought with the way you guys are close enough that he was.”

”Uh, I really wouldn't consider him, my boyfriend.”

Saying ' friend' seemed rather strange too. So, what was she to Rhys?

”Does that mean I still stand a chance? I can steal you away then heehe.”

Lyn blinked and blinked as she looked at him for a few seconds before realizing what he had just said. The black-haired girl immediately backed away as if it was an automatic reaction, ”Uhh?”

Shu laughs, ”Ehhhh? You don't have to back out of your chair like that.”

”I mean, it's a bit embarrassing. Sorry....”

The petite blonde hair boy merely laughs, ”Hehe. I was only joking around. You do take things seriously,” Shu changes his tone, ”But on the other hand how will you survive if you open yourself up too easily? After dealing with the troubles of being a Knight.”

”Are you finding it hard being a Knight after?” Lyn asked.

It was something she had never once thought of asking them. Since they were all - they were all always together. Lyn thought that as long as they remained together, they'd be able to overcome anything. Shu averts his gaze from her, ”...well, I'm used to it, I guess..”

Before Lyn could inquire more, she hears a familiar voice.

”---- you're not doing work.”

It's then she spotted somebody leaning against the door frame, ” Uh? Rhys!” This is really bad. Before they parted ways earlier, Rhys specifically told her not to speak to Shu.

He made his way over.

Shu smile suddenly returned almost too quickly, ”Yahoo long time no see. How have you been?”

Rhys doesn't answer Shu at all and turned his attention to hers, ”Cut the crap explain.” he shouted.

He is mad after all! ”Ummm...well we were just talking about this one book.”

Shu interjects, and that's when she notices it, the odd colors in his eyes. Once again --- ” Othello~ It's a story about how an unexpected tragedy arises from one's insecurities that their beloved committed a.d.u.l.tery on them.”
