Chapter 221 - The Kings Medicine (1/2)

But still, Lyn couldn't just judge somebody based on their first meeting. Besides, would the Snow Kingdom Knights follow and respect such a cruel person? Lyn thought with their personality; they would simply dismiss a child King. However, Lyn could tell from the brief conversations she has had with the Knights that they genuinely respected the King.

”I shall enter first, stay out here and wait until I call for you.”

Lyn nodded and watched as her brother went inside. The moment he did, Reiji spoke up.

”You really are stupid.”

Ahh? Why is he insulting her again?

”After what I told you, you still went ahead and got involved with him. You even became intimately intertwined.”

At that comment, Lyn realized what he meant; her cheeks reddened, ”S--so you can really tell?”

”Your blood and scents changed.”

Blood and scent, huh?

Shu whistles, ”I'm surprised he had the nerve to do it. Most people wouldn't.”

It's quite embarrassing that they noticed. Wait if these people noticed, ”Did you say Rhys was the same? Do you think um…”

”We were with him at the time; you better not talk to him for a while. He's in a terrible mood.”

”Yep, he was scary.”

”..I see.”

So Rhys noticed, Lyn looked down at the ground. Even though she was so happy being with Kazuya, things aren't as simple anymore, huh? Since she fell in love with Kazuya, so many complicated things have happened. So many people have gotten hurt. When she was in love with Allen, none of this happened. While Lyn always thought that she wasn't worthy and stuff. The concerns were minimum. But now with Kazuya? She can't just have feelings for him without consequences.

Rhys must be hurt. But, maybe this was a good thing. The two of them have gotten very close, too close even. It's time to draw the line somewhere. She's sorry Rhys, but she really does…love Kazuya. Still, Lyn wondered why she was thinking about him so much. Her thoughts broke off when she saw Reiji's face color turn pale. Ah...

”Are you oka--”

”Get away from me!” Reiji snapped as he turned around and glared at her. ”Come one step closer, and I'll destroy you! I will not only break your body but your mind as well!”

Lyn could feel his hate and flinch. What's with him? Just a few minutes ago, he was speaking normally, and now he is like this.

Reiji grabbed her wrist as tight as he could, pulling her a few steps closer. ”Subaru! You're hurting me!” She told me. ”Let go!” She ordered.

He didn't let go...he just looked at her...looked into her eyes. Lyn didn't know why, but it felt like she could understand, what Reiji was feeling wasn't anger.

”What do you want from me? What do you expect from someone powerless, hideous, and tainted as I am?” Reiji asked. She simply stared into his eyes as he did in hers. 'This person isn't he exactly like her?'

Her thoughts broke off when Reiji pulled her in close, holding her tight in his arms. ”Reiji?”

Reiji didn't respond with words, and her eyes widened when she felt his mouth move down and sunk his teeth into her neck. He began drinking her blood. It was painful,

He took a few swallows before he pulled away. He stared at the new bite marks on her neck. ”It tastes so sweet..” He said to himself. He needs more...

He sunk his teeth into her neck again and drank more of her blood.
