Chapter 403 - Please dont make it hard for me (1/2)
*UNEDITED*
Sure enough, Rhys nodded and confirmed her suspicions. ”We've always suspected you Lyn. I say we, but it's just me and the others. From the moment we met, I realized there was something of about you. You claimed to be inexperienced fighting. However, when we trained together you occasionally slipped up. I realized after it happened several times that you did that on purpose. You wanted me to confirm that you're a spy.”
”Rhys..”
”Did you think it would be better if somebody you knew ratted you out?”
Lyn shook her head, ”No, it's nothing grand like that. I just wanted you to understand …”
”Understand what? What were you thinking? Why did you continue this dammed thing, anyway?”
”Rhys…”
”Damn it,” Rhys cursed and slammed the wall behind her. ”Lyn, stopping you is impossible. But don't do anything without informing me.”
”Eh? But…”
”I already know everything to this point anyway.”
”Rhys,” Lyn said slowly. ”Please don't tell Kazuya.”
It's not like Kazuya will judge her for this. Lyn already figured out from his attitude before. No matter what she does, Kazuya will accept her. However, if Kazuya found out then he would worry about her. He might end up doing something careless.
Rhys suddenly pressed her against the wall. ”Kazuya again?”
”This isn't the time for you to act jealous.”
”Lyn,” he mumbled. ”I'll do anything to help you. The mission is no longer important to me.”
Her eyes widened when she hears those words escape his lips. He actually said it! Kazuya said similar things before but she expected it from him. After what happened with Zepher, Lyn realized Rhys current position. The reason why he remained so close to her. ”You were a back up, just in case Kazuya became too attached to me. Just in case he ruined the plan…”
She already knew this a very long time ago. However, this was the first time she actually admitted it out loud. ”Am I wrong?”
Rhys traced her lips with his thumbs. ”You're obviously right. But, in the end I lost. I love you.”
At that comment Lyn had to look away from him. She doesn't want to see how serious he actually is about her. Unfortunately Lyn couldn't look away for long, Rhys cupped her cheeks. ”Tell me Lyn, do you understand what will happen to you if you get caught?”
”I know I'll die for treason.”
”How can you say that so easily?” Rhys muttered frustrated.
”Because….from the start, the Kingdom had no need of me. My existence was illegitimate.”
”That's not right, you're blood related to the Queen.”
”Since when was blood relation important?” Lyn muttered. ”This is the Mist Kingdom, while blood ties are usually important for the throne matters. If somebody comits treason and aide outsider than …”
Rhys fingers traced her lips and she shuddered. ”Lyn….”
