Chapter 344 - The Kidnap Part 2 (2/2)
”Do you like it here?”
”Yes! It's beautiful, it's peaceful too.”
Zepher smiled. 'Perfect.' He made this place with her in mind, so he's glad that she likes it. Despite the small moments he had with her in the past, he learned a lot about the girl that was supposed to be his sister.
”Say, Lyn, do you...what's your relationship with that guy called Rhys?”
He didn't want to ruin the atmosphere, but this question has been bothering him since the previous day.
At that comment, he watched as his sister's face turns scarlet red. ”Relationship...what relationship were just...uhh..”
”.....”
That guy was acting so arrogant. Zepher understands why now. He can't tell whether Lyn likes the guy or not.
But they aren't just regular friends. How irritating, how many men have gotten close to Lyn? Zepher thought with how protective Andrew was; no random guys would be able to approach her.
Lyn looked at him worriedly. ”Brother? What's wrong?”
”Zepher,” he mumbled against her ear.
”Okay, Zepher, what's wrong?”
”You're warm.”
”Um…” Lyn looked very puzzled, but Zepher knew he couldn't tell her just yet. Instead, he continued to hug her tightly. For now, this is fine.

Meeting Room
What is he going to do with Lyn? Can she really stay here with them? These people are loyal to him, yes. But if they find out Lyn is a Princess...
”Zepher!” a cheerful voice called out. ”This book, I have some que-” Lyn paused in mid-sentence. ”Oh, I'm sorry. You're in a meeting.”
”Lyn, it's fine. Come over here.”
Her gaze brightened, and she walked over to where he was sat. Lyn positioned herself on the seat beside him. But he pulled her onto his lap, ”Zepher?”
”Show me.”
”Oh, you see over here…”
”That part,” Zepher gets caught up in explaining. More like he was focused on her, she listened intently to everything he said. Eventually, one of the others in the room bravely spoke up.
”Sir, the meeting uh--”
”It's canceled. You can all go home.”
Zepher ignored the dissatisfied looks on their faces; he turned to the girl who was studying intently.
”Your interested in this stuff?”
Lyn nodded. ”But the books at home are all censored. Ah, but Rhys showed me some things before, so I wanted to read more on it.”
'Rhys again.' She must have spent a lot of time with him. Zepher placed light kisses on her neck and caressed her legs. Maybe this was a bit too sudden for her since Lyn flinched.
”Brother, why do you keep uh..”
”You don't like it?” Zepher asked.
”Well,” Lyn looked away. ”I don't know whether I should say this. But brother, I have a boyfriend now. If you don't treat me like your sister, you..”
She has a what now?
”Brother?”
”Boyfriend…?” he mumbled. Is it that Rhys guy? No, he wouldn't have handed her over otherwise.
”...brother?”
”I see,” Zepher moved away from her. So she has a boyfriend. Right, she's at the age to have one. But, even then, what is this feeling? He feels so frustrated.
To his surprise, Lyn suddenly hugged him from the back. ”I don't know what's wrong, brother, but I'm here now.”
Stupid girl, she is the reason for him being like this. Zepher extended his hand out and took a strand of her hair and brought it to his lips. Lyn looked at him, puzzled, ”Um, brother? Do you really…”
