Chapter 239 - Beautiful and yet Cruel (2/2)

”So you admit it at least?”

”Men tend not to deny their feelings towards the girl they love. Princess Celica, do you understand that?”

”How rude. Even I,” Celica suddenly leaned closer and brushed her lips against his neck, ”... understand men quite well. Shall I show you, exactly how much..”

Ohoho? What's this is she trying to seduce him? He supposed most guys would probably be lured in by a young girl pressing their bodies against them. She's good at this, and indeed she isn't a wholesome 17-year-old. Before her lips met his though, he placed his hand on her lips, ”My bad, I have no interest in girls two years my junior.”

He is interested in a girl who is three years his junior, though.

At that reply, the young Rokojou Princess cheeks flamed yet she calmly backed down, ”I see, the men that surround her are indeed loyal without a doubt. But I wonder how much longer can that girl take it, your so-called loyalty. Remember this knight-dono, uniting the three sides will not be easy and even if she does. Your loyalty can drag her down,” with those words said the blonde hair girl left him alone in the balcony.

What an idiot, did she not realize that she basically admitted that she was involved? But... ”I know, I've known for a long time,” he whispers as he glanced up at the starry skies.

He's known for a long time now, that's why it doesn't make a difference now. Lyn, this world she wants to save is both beautiful and cruel. But regardless of what it is, we will save it.

His thoughts broke off when he felt somebody collide at his back. Rhys turned around, ”Clumsy girl.”

Lyn laughed, ”I wanted to surprise you.”

”Where's the food?”

”Allen spotted me, so he casually asked his servants to bring food over. It should come soon.”

”I see,” Rhys mumbled. That doesn't surprise him. The fiance always seems to be watching Lyn; it's a good thing that she is clueless. If she were to notice, then he would stand no chance at all.

”Ah, I do have this, though! Barbeque,” Lyn extended her hand out and Rhys bent down to eat it.

”Is it yummy Rhys?”

”Yeah.”

She's cute, Rhys bent down and stole a quick kiss from her.

”Why are you turning red? This isn't the first time I've kissed you.”

Lyn blushed and hit him, ”It's obviously because you caught me off guard stupid. Moron, idiot.”

Her vocab is expanding. His gaze softened, 'This might be the only time he will spend with her in a while, he should make use of it.' Rhys reached over for her hand, ”Let's take a walk, Princess.”

”Okay.”
