Chapter 300 - Supervise (2/2)
Lyn, however, turned and saw the child.
”Rhys?” Lyn mumbled. The girl immediately looked away.
”Don't avoid me, I just want to explain...”
”I'm not avoiding it. I don't know what to say,” Lyn kept her head low.
Rhys wrapped his arms around the girl. ”Leave this to me. I'll make sure you're not afraid. I'm serious about what I said. You will soon realize that.”
”Rhys..”
Arthur coughed, ”Ahem. , since it's like this, I'll supervise your relationship.” Gosh this brat, can't he keep his hands of Lyn for a second?
”Supervise?”
Rhys eyes twitched in annoyance, ”Old man, just stay away. I know what I'm doing.”
”You don't, you'll scare her away before long.”
Soft laughter escaped the woman's lips, ”Um, I don't know what's going on. But it seems like you two get along.”
'What?' Arthur looked at Lyn dumbfounded. How on earth does she come up with such ridiculous conclusions? ”Let go of her already, kid.”
”Arthur, but I'm comfortable.”
”Stupid girl, don't be so naive.”
”You heard her old man.”
...
Once Lyn was fast asleep, Arthur didn't hesitate to voice out his thoughts.
”You're from the Sound Kingdom, aren't you?”
”And you're from the rain. You're the man on the run.”
Arthur sighs, ”Your way too sharp for a child,” he trailed off. ”What is someone from the Sound Kingdom doing here taking lessons from Prince Ralph of all people?”
”It's a long story. But I'm sure you know about Prince Ralph being quite the eccentric man. He was traveling, and I helped save his life. He said in exchange would take me here and teach me for a while.”
”I see,” Arthur nodded. ”So, why did you accept? The sound kingdom isn't lacking resources, right?”
”Indeed, we don't lack resources. But Prince Ralph has quite a reputation. I'd be a fool not to take it...What about you? Why do the rumors say you took a group of soldiers and started a rebellion?”
Arthur sighed, ”Somebody is plotting against me.”
”Somebody?”
”Well,” Arthur trailed off. He recalled what he told Prince Ralph earlier. ”I made a few enemies amongst the Rain Kingdom's main family. The third Prince has quite the grudge against me. Before I set out for my mission, there was quite the quarrel.”
”Why am I even telling this to a child...”
Rhys, however, didn't mark a remark, ”So, you think it's him?”
”Yeah, there are no other people.”
”Sir Arthur, I can help you get out of your predicament. But you'll have to help me with Lyn.”
At that comment, Arthur sighed loudly and flopped his body onto the couch. ”Kid, are you actually serious? You just met her the other day, think about it. Her eldest brother is so scary...”
”Her eldest brother?”
”She's related to Prince Andrew. I didn't know Queen Orthez had another daughter - but Lyn does resemble her.”
When Arthur first met Lyn, the girl reminded him of somebody, but at the time, he couldn't think of it clearly. The reason why he could confirm that Lyn was indeed related to Prince Andrew was because the girl resembled Queen Orthez. Because of that, he could tell. If that was the case, though, Arthur wondered why he didn't keep his distance from her.
