Chapter 249 - If only (2/2)
Indeed, even before this, perhaps he had known already. The reason Shioka asked the second prince for support. Is because their goal is the same, to cure Lyn's boredom. To heal the darkness in her heart. But just because their goals are the same doesn't mean their way of doing things - their methods will be the same.
Rhys nodded, ” Yeah. The promise aside, was it Kazuya who asked?”
”Who knows? But I'll say this; the bastard's head will be on my blade the second this ends.”
”If you do that. I'll have to raise a blade against you Shioka,” a feminine voice said. The two of them stop talking only to find the black-haired girl there.
”Oh? That would be a sight to see.” Shioka didn't seem threatened, only amused.
Lyn laughs lightly in response. ”Though maybe even for me that will be too much.”
Rhys watches Shioka come over and pressed their foreheads together, ”You're running a fever again woman. You like to overdo things, huh?”
Rhys couldn't help but notice how easily they did it. Lyn's like that he knew, but surely they couldn't have? Unless this is what you call ' natural.' Man just thinking about it was stressing him out to the core.
”I'm fine. It's nothing.”
”Hmm. Your stupidity shows up during moments like this. Keep this up, and you'll die.”
The black-haired girl shook her head, ”I won't until I've fulfilled that promise. My life cannot end. '' He watches as she reached over and placed both her hands on the blondes face, ”Your eyes are still like rubies. They don't remind me of blood at all. You too should not soil them that much.”
”Strange woman. Having that fetish too.”
”Perhaps so.”
They really do interact with each other well.
That was the case before too. But seeing it again was sort of envious, especially since Lyn doesn't let him touch her. Heh, is he really getting jealous over this matter? He's become quite pathetic. Besides the one he should be more worried about is Kazuya and the fiance. Yet, perhaps this guy isn't entirely out of the picture either.
”You better get going. Before someone notices,” Rhys interjected.
”Very well. I'll take my leave,” Shioka pauses. ”Regarding what I said Rhys, about that person. Keep in mind what I said and since you heard it, woman. Heed that warning too. I'm sure you know it, possessiveness does not equate to love. If you wish to keep on playing foolish make-believe with him then even I'll grow tired Lyn.”
”Uh yeah..”
Lyn nodded, ”I know already. When the time comes, I'll properly decide. So I can end it all. '' Though it was only brief, Rhys could see it the darkness in the girl's eyes.
If only he had the courage to step forward. If he did, he would wrap the girl in his arms and not let her go. He would whisper in her ear and reassure. To keep her safe. But such a thing isn't possible, is it? Because in the end he too is being a coward about everything. Once the blonde-haired boy disappeared, he watches as Lyn pulled out what looked like a pure golden locket. If he's not mistaken, that's something Kazuya got her. ”In the end, what is true happiness, Givonnai answered I don't know. Kazuya, perhaps it'll be impossible after all.”
