Chapter 413 - You deserve so much more (1/2)

*UNEDITED*

He will tell her anything. He will grant whatever her heart desires, whatever she wishes. Rhys would do anything for this girl. But, there was one thing he couldn't grant her. The happiness of being together with another man. A man that isn't him. Lately he is troubled by it greatly. He wants to help Kazuya, it's better if she goes to him. Kazuya may not have the same status as him, but he will make a better King than him. The person who she chooses will end up as the King of The Mist Kingdom. Does he want that?

The answer is no, he doesn't want the throne or to be King. No matter how much he loves Lyn, he can't become her king. All he can do for her is give her the love he couldn't give her properly back then.

”Like you I have been cursed.”

At that the girl seemed rather startled, ”Cursed?”

Rhys nodded, as he placed his hand over his eye. ”Yes cursed. Because I was unable to protect the woman I love. ”That woman is you, ”I cannot say anything more about it.” Because if he does, there's a chance she will remember. And that wouldn't be good for her, especially in the state she's in.

”I understand, I won't ask anything more about it. But instead can I ask you another question?”

”What is it?”

”Can you tell me what your other name is?”

Indeed it really seems as though they summoned her and asked her to question him. Ltn like himself isn't the kind of person who would do something like willingly obey orders, unless she's doing it for another person. And considering the circ.u.mstances at hand, there's only one other person she's doing this for now. That's fine, because he also intends to protect her ' normal ' every days until she truly regains her powers. ”It is Bing Lee.”

”Lee,” Lyn trailed off. Her gaze softened and she reached over to caress his cheeks. ”Am I the only one who knows?”

”Yeah.”

”I'm glad.”

Rhys wrapped his arms around her and held her tightly, ”Hey Lyn, spend the night here.”

”Spend the night...”

”I won't do anything weird to you, but I just don't want you to leave me right now,” he muttered. Besides it's not like Kazuya will return. The girl looked very cautious but she nodded. ”Thank you Lyn.”

..

He found it very amusing how nervous she got right until they both got dressed into nightwear. She really insisted on changing in the bathroom, rather than behind the screen. This little girl is very smart it seems. His gaze fell on the lose strand of her hair that exposed her milky neck. 'Even from the back she looks beautiful.' Lyn had turned around so she didn't face him. However, Rhys didn't mind.

Is she naive or just ...? Rhys paused and shook his head, don't think such things. Didn't he purposely crush her reply back then? Rhys knew Lyn liked him, he wasn't an idiot - that's why it's easier to tease her. It's because he knows her feelings very well.
