Chapter 332 - Poison (2/2)
”I'm taking the antidote from your system. Sorry,” he mumbled. ”I'm not waiting for Kazuya to get here. Just bear with me Lyn, I won't do anything uncalled for.”
And he probably won't. He promised her, she ought to believe in him.

After he confirmed things with Prince Ralph, Kazuya immediately rushed to the room. The sight he saw made him freeze. He buried over to make sure that Rhys wasn't doing anything inappropriate with Lyn and crossing his boundaries. But
Lyn was panting heavily as she clutched on to Rhys back. Rhys drew back slightly, ”Do you need a break?”
”Fine...I'm fine...get rid of it, please.”
”...”
Calm down.
That's right, he's only removing the poison from her system. But, what is this? How come he can't do anything right now?
Kazuya spent an hour or so outside the door. When the doors finally opened revealing a sweaty Rhys. He looked over at him and sighed, ”Why didn't you come inside and take over?” Rhys sounded like he was blaming him.
”There was only one antidote.”
”I see, well she ought to be fine now. Stay with her.”
”Rhys, where are you going?”
”I need to find a woman,” Rhys mumbled. ”I'm not staying here. You stay with her...”
”...Alright.” Kazuya knew the meaning behind his friends words. ”Thanks..”
Rhys smiled bitterly, ”You don't want to thank me, I won't be surprised if you want to punch me.”
”...”
”Kazuya, I...I won't take her from you now. So,..”
'Now?' That means Rhys will try in the future. If he really doesn't step it up, then Rhys will get Lyn for sure. The two already get along so well and have a good understanding of each other. If Lyn gets taken from him, what will he do? He's already become so attached to her. Kazuya frantically shook his head and entered the room. Lyn was awake, but she looked sleepy, she was looking around with a dazed expression.
”Rhys?” Lyn called out puzzled.
Don't think about it.
Kazuya strolled over and the girl's eyes brightened. ”Kazuya?” her tone immediately changed to a fonder one.
Lyn said it herself didn't she? That she wants to be with him forever. He ought to believe her, the sincerity behind those words. He examined her current state; the girls face still seemed flushed. The sight from earlier flashed through his mind. Though he's done it with Lyn, he's never seen that expression before. Don't think about it that way.
”Can I yell at you?” he mumbled. ”You always seem to find trouble whenever I'm not around.”
Lyn laughed weakly, ”I'm sorry…”
He wanted to hug her tightly. But the scene from earlier had yet to leave his mind, so he simply held her hand. ”Kazuya, your not angry at me? I think you should get mad this time.”
”Do you want me to get angry?”
”You've never really gotten angry at me before,” Lyn mumbled.
Of course hasn't. He wants to treasure and treat the girl he loves kindly. Why would he waste his time scolding her?
