Chapter 384 - Weakness (1/2)

*UNEDITED*

It didn't cross his mind back then that his future bride would have such a playful character. Then again, when they first met she didn't hesitate to voice out her discontent. She even admitted that she would use him. Allen chuckled at the mere thought, it sounds ridiculous. If anybody else heard what she said then, they'd certainly think that. While he initially laughed it of, Allen didn't completely dismiss it. Even after he parted ways with her that day. Allen thought about it at night. 'That woman is serious.' Such a fiery and determined look in her gaze.

After tending to her wounds. He took her back to the horse. However, he made them stop by a friends mansion before heading over to Princess Lethia's place. The snow is thick and heavy. So, he didn't want to risk it.

”Shouldn't your chaperone be with you?” Allen questioned helping myself to another glass of wine. It feels good to relax and be himself for a bit.

”He is outside the door as we speak.  After all, we do not want rumors to fly about the Wind Kingdom Prince making a rendezvous with his future bride.”

He chuckled at that comment, ”A renedevous would be nice dear. I've never laid a hand on you.”

At that comment Lyn froze up, ”Wait, are you serious?” a tint of red appeared on her cheeks and he laughed. ”Don't joke around with me!” she mumbled.

”How is um Rhys, you were with him right?”

He placed his hand on his chest, feigning hurt by her question. ”The most eligible man is inside the room and you are looking for another?”

She gave a small laugh. ”Oh, you are eligible alright. But for the longest time you are uninterested with the opposite s.e.x.”

Uninterested dearest? The only reason why is because he is interested in you only. This oblivious woman. Even though she has become a lot sharper now. Why does she not understand these situations? Then again, that's mainly his fault isn't it.

”Rhys is slightly dignified. On the other hand you make others quake on their feet with your presence!”

”It's because I look grand and intimidating. And for your information, that man maybe a Prince, but he can't compare to me.”

Since when was Rhys dignified? Lyn dearest, doesn't she usually insult him. What's with this sudden change of heart? He doesn't understand her at all.

”At least he is honest.”

He shook his head, he needs to clear his mind. Where is this conversation heading? It seems like even now he doesn't understand her very well.

”Allen, can I go take a walk now?” Lyn swiftly changed the topic.

Allen reached over and brushed his hands across her forehead. ”Are you sure? You seem a bit feverish. Your wound is making you have a fever. I think we should call a medical expert.”

”I'm fine Allen, is it fine?”

He paused for a moment before nodding. ”Don't go out too far. My friend has pet familiars in the outter yard, they get agitated around strangers.”

”Pets?” Seeing the sparkle in her eyes, Allen immediately regretted telling her. Why does she get curious about every single little thing.

”We shall see them tomorrow morning. For tonight, go on your walk and come back,” he wrapped his cloak around her. ”Alright?”
