Chapter 233 - Know your place (2/2)

Lyn nodded, Fukami and the others are Knights, but people still look down on them. People dislike Rhys, but Lyn noticed that nobody treats him with disrespect. Now that she thought about it, he does have the noble earring. It's just hard to see because of his usual hairstyle.

”Kazuya doesn't have to worry about status,” Lyn mumbled, ”I don't need to marry someone with riches to their name.” All she wants is to spend the rest of her life with somebody who genuinely loves and cares for her.

Pupillam nodded, ”It frustrated me too, but then he said, 'Even if it's like this, even if I know we can't be together because of our respective status. I still want to be with her. She is the one person I won't let go of.'”

At that comment, her cheeks turned red. Lyn could picture Kazuya saying such words. 'That stubborn fool,' Lyn thought. Instead of saying these words to another person, he should have just told her. He really is foolish in more ways than one, but this foolish person is the one she loves.

”Kazuya cleared things up about the Princess, didn't he?”

”Ah, yes.”

”But you have to understand. The Princess will be persistence. If you don't establish your relationship with Kazuya properly now, then, she will take him.”

”I didn't think you'd give me advice.”

Rhys sighed, ”I'm not that unreasonable. Besides, if I'm going to earn your love. I want to make a good impression.”

”Princess Lyn has no time to be fooling around,” Pupillam interjected, ”Kazuya and you may mean well. But her engagement with Prince Allen is set.”

Ahh, wait? Pupillam? Ever since she met Pupillam, she has never seen the girl like this.

”Haha,” Rhys laughed, ”Fooling around? The engagement is set? I have heard the rumors that the marriage date is being pushed forward, that's why you're holding all these banquets, however, for somebody who is taking action. There is still one thing the fiance hasn't tackled. Lyn's identity. Or does he want people to think that he's marrying somebody with a simple status? Nobody's ever heard of a marriage where the wife doesn't even show her face.”

As cruel as Rhys words were, he did make a valid point.

What will Pupillam say back? ”Prince Allen treats Princess Lyn with kindness and has a better understanding towards her than you two. Your right, for things to be solved - the Princess needs to show her face. But all of these factors are something outsiders like us can't intervene in.”

Rhys eyes twitched in annoyance, ”What did you just call me?”

”You heard me.”

”You really are pushing your luck with me, aren't you? Quit intervening, I'm serious about Lyn.”

Lyn flushed red at his words, 'Does he have to be so blunt about it?' Though Lyn understood that honesty is better in this situation, it still made her feel nervous. Rhys lips curve to a smile, he must have seen her reaction, ”It doesn't seem like your Princess is against me pursing her.”

”Very well then, if you're serious. I, Pupillam will be your opponent.”

Lyn looked at the sight before her dumbfounded. What on earth is going on here? Rhys won't agree, will he? However, to her surprise, Rhys nodded, ”Yeah, that's fine with me.”

Wait, wait? What?!! These two can't be serious.
