Chapter 424 - Still inside her heart (1/2)

”Say, what's that?” Rhys asked.

”Hmm?”

”The ring,” his eyes twitched in annoyance. ”That's not your engagement ring.” It doesn't have the symbol of the wind Kingdom but the Sound Kingdom. Rhys had a bad feeling about this, that's why he refrained from asking. But, now, he got this chance.

”Ah, Kazuya gave it to me.”

At that comment, his gaze darkened even more. He shook his head; he needs to stop acting so unreasonable. Still, he couldn't miss how happy she looked.

Rhys parted ways with Lyn and head to the rooftop. Even from here, he could still hear her cheerful voice. He wanted to look down; he wanted to spend some more time with her and look at her for longer.

Even after coming back, the rooftop is his favorite place.

Because it's a means of escape, if it's in this place, then all the problems should fade away.

Even though he sorted things out with his fellow team member, Rhyss knows full well that he's still treading on thin ice when it concerns the brunette hair girl. His thoughts broke of when he saw Arthur.

”Do you intend to stay here whenever she's with Kazuya?”

Rhys turned away from the man.. Why is he so useless for? Rhys already knew without hearing his words that Arthur failed. He had one job, but it seemed like he couldn't do it.

”I couldn't do it, I did everything you asked me to do, but it didn't work. You're still somewhere inside her. You haven't disappeared,” Arthur seemed very frustrated.

”She's right,” another voice said.

Rhys and spotted the owner of the voice, it was indeed Beth.

”Lyn approached me. ' Umm, can I ask you something? What kind of umm ..relationship do you have with Rhys?”

At that comment, he froze, and he looked away, ”What relationship, why would she even ask something like that now?”

Lyn already knows about Beth and him; she knows he used her. Why is she even mentioning something like that now?

”I told her that it was offensive to put the two of us in the same sentence. In any case, you don't have to tell her the truth. But you also can't leave things the way they are now, go now.”

”Where to?”

”To talk to each other.”

”We have plans,” Rhys mumbled. ”I invited her for dinner.”

”Should I ask where you intend to go?”

”Well, my room.”

It's not like he is a lousy cook; it should be fine. Rhys glanced over and saw the look on their faces. Huh? Why are they staring at him like that?

Shiva Restaurant - 8:00PM

Rhys didn't think there was a mini town within the castle grounds. But now that he thought it through carefully. It's no wonder the nobles don't go out often. So they had a place like this. He supposed it was a good thing. He wouldn't know what he would do if they were alone. The restaurant wasn't too crowded, thankfully. Rhys waited for the girl to return with their drinks refill.
