Chapter 401 - Concern (2/2)

”Don't mention it. Thank you for your hard work during the time I was away, Lord Zac. You too, Lord Wayne. I was looking forward to your visit,” Lyn politely said.

Lord Wayne stepped forward. ”I'm extremely pleased to hear that. I was rather worried as to when you would return; We thought you would not return considering..”

Lyn immediately understood where they came from. So, people know about Zepher and her, huh?

….

Lyn couldn't move; after that meeting, she simply remained in her chair. However, she suddenly felt a pair of lips on hers. Lyn blushed and pushed Kazuya away, ”Don't appear out of nowhere.”

”What out of nowhere, I was behind the curtain the entire time.”

”Well, nothing happened… Sorry for troubling you,” she apologized. Lyn had Kazuya wait behind the curtain just in case something happened.

”It's fine. I don't mind. You did a great job,” Kazuya reached over and patted her hair. ”I'm glad you listened to me.”

Kazuya told her not too long ago to be careful with the people who know her identity. 'There is a spy; you have to be careful.' While Kazuya shared a lot of information with her, he was still quite vague. It made a lot of sense. A spy among the knights aside, there ought to be somebody else.

”Kazuya, where is Rhys?”

Lyn decided the best person to confide in would be him. Rhys acts that way, but when it came to serious matters - well, he was serious. Rhys even sold her out to eldest brother Zepher. That person is clearly capable of doing anything. Ever since that time, she is warier towards him. However, Lyn still trusted him a great deal. At least he won't lie in front of her.

Rhys will remain honest around her even if he says blunt and harsh things. At least he is truthful, how many people in the world tell the truth? What percentage of people in the world are genuinely honest? One can't measure it by percentage, but Lyn knew how small the number was. Rhys is genuine even if he has to hurt the one he loves with his actions.

'The one he loves..' Lyn frantically shook her head at that comment. Quit thinking about it, Rhys is very stupid after all.

Kazuya frowned, ”You want to see Rhys? You have a test later right, why don't you focus on that.”

”Ah-huh, I haven't met him in a while. Can't I go?”

”He's a bit busy with something,” Kazuya removed his hand from her hair and caressed her cheeks. ”Hey Lyn, can I kiss you?”

Kazuya's words completely caught her off guard. Uh? What's with this situation? This isn't like him at all. Ah, he must be joking, right?
