Chapter 411 - Fake Curses (2/2)

”Well of course I cast curses when its needed. But its not something I usually have to do. I mean, casting a curse takes a lot of effort. Furthermore... Seriously taking on every single person by cursing them is..too much trouble.”

Lyn merely laughs speech. My goodness, so he's still this kind of person. She was wrong, thought he changed a lot. But that's not it at all.

Still, Lyn chuckles, ”Maybe...perhaps that's why you go out of your way to act grandiose in front of people. You just want to scare them don't you?”

Rhys stopped playing and placed the instrument on the wall. He turned to her with a gentle smile, causing her to avert her gaze. ”Of course that was my intention. When people are afraid, they can't think rationally about anything.”

”You haven't told anyone else have you?” Lyn muttered. ”I mean, if you did surely...”

'He would get in trouble for it.'

”I couldn't have a amassed a fortune if I did right?”

That's true - uncertified doctors in the Empire hardly get any clients. However, if rumors like the ones about Rhys circulate than it's a matter of time.

But even so its somewhat surprising. To think Rhys actually took advantage of those negative rumors, instead of clarifying himself. Usually people would clarify themselves, since the rumors are too hateful.

He placed his hand on her left cheek and stared down upon her with his trademark smirk. ”So Lyn, do you still think I'm going to do something to you?”

”N--not quite,” Lyn looked away. ”Geez, don't act so haughty about this. I'm not well, so I can't snap and get angry at you.”

Rhys chuckles, ”A docile you is nice occasionally,” he trailed off. ”But, really Lyn. Take care of yourself better. This thing I'm doing for you is only temporarily.”

”You're the only one who can treat me like this correct?” Lyn didn't understand Rhys abilities very well. But, she felt like he was the only one who understood her condition well. Even Brother Andrew believes in Rhys ability. He no longer calls the usual doctors around whenever she has a release.

”Correct,” Rhys nodded. ”I believe you should learn exactly why soon enough.”

”Learn?”

Rhys bent down and gently kissed her forehead, then her eyelids and then her lips. Lyn immediately panicked but Rhys continued kissing her lips. He easily pried her mouth open and stuck his tongue inside. Unfortunately, she still didn't have the strength to push him away like she normally would do. The next few minutes Lyn felt her entire body burn up, the sweat falling from her face. Rhys is very good at kissing, he knew exactly how to send her on edge.

This is very bad for her. What's with this guy anyway? Why does he kiss so well!

”My Lyn,” Rhys lips curve to a smile as he lightly broke their intense kiss. ”You were right to be on your guard.”

'This guy is so unreasonable...'

”But, please understand. I'll never harm you, I won't force you to do anything until your of the right age.”

Yeah right, she recalled his behaviour all too well when they were younger.
