Chapter 213 - Endless Spiral (1/2)

Once Shu left waving merrily goodbye. Rhys turned his attention to her and gritted his teeth, ” You sound so happy talking to that guy.”

”Rh? Really did it seem that different from when I was talking with other people?” Lyn mumbled. She barely knew Shu, so she treated him the same as everybody else.

Her sentence fell short when she hears a loud bang, only to see Rhys slam his hand on the table, ”It's different. Why the hell would I even bring it up if I didn't notice it!”

Lyn flinched, why is he so angry?

”Sorry.”

At that comment, Rhys suddenly grabbed hold of her wrist, waltz over to the door, ensured it was locked and backed her away to the area where the window was. Her back hit the small shelf lightly, and he dropped the surrounding curtain, his fingers laced across her brown hair. ” Shut up; I hate it when you apologize.”

”Wait a minute Rhys...”

”Tsk, at least allow this much since you put me in a bad mood.”

Lyn tried to push him away with her leg's, but clearly, that was the worst move she could have made. Since she recalled the injury, she had on there.

”I see, no wonder the smell was strong enough to choke on,” She suddenly found herself sat on top of the bookshelf. Rhys grabbed hold of her leg and brought his lips towards it.

In seconds Lyn felt licked the blood from her leg.

”N--no..”

If he keeps doing this, her heart will explode. Lyn somehow kicked him, managed to. Upon seeing the sudden darkness in his face, she gulped. Wrong move again.

”You bastard!! You have some guts to kick me.”

Lyn placed her hand over her ears, face still fl.u.s.tered. ” B-- but. First of all, Rhys, you were doing something perverted so...”

She notices the ever so faint blush on his face.

Ah...

”...because I've captured you completely. That sort of thing is already normal. From my perspective, the more obscene one is you. Do you even know what kind of face you are making right now.”

”Ah, that's too possessive.”

A deep sigh escaped Rhys face as he let's go of her arm, ”Forget it, I already told you to stay away from him. Just listen to me, it's not that hard.”

”Okay,” Lyn mumbled. But she doubts she can completely stay away from them if she were to change her mind and tell Princess Eva. Then Lyn knew the woman would be able to kick them out. But, the question is, does she want to? ”Where is Beth? Why aren't you two together, ah is Kazuya back too?”

Lyn wanted to see him.

”Don't mention that stupid woman.”

Eh? Why is he suddenly angry? Lyn looked at him puzzled. She scanned him up and down and immediately realized something, the deep marks on his neck. So the thing Beth called Rhys out for was that? Lyn flushed red, goodness she thought it was for something work-related. Rhys grabbed hold of her hand.

”Let's go on a walk.”

”Ah? Okay,” Lyn's eyes brightened, ”I haven't seen the gardens here yet, would you take me?”

...

- Garden -

”Why are you holding onto my arm?”

”Ah, sorry,” Lyn said and pulled away. Old habit whenever she is with Allen. Rhys reached over, ”Rhys?”

”I don't mind, besides you get sick easily. Just lean on me for balance.”

How silly.

”Say, Rhys? I have something I want to ask you.”

”What is it?”

”Could you tell me about your childhood?”
