Chapter 432 - Web Of Lies Part 5 (1/2)

*UNEDITED*

Why?

Why is the heat fading?

Eh?

Rhys opened his eyes to see a pair of almond coloured eyes, watering and filled with relief. ”....Beth?” Despite his dazed state he could tell that it was indeed his team member.

He was suddenly hugged in a rather aggressive manner. This girl really doesn't have any feminine qualities at all. ”You finally woke up Rhys, what a relief.”

Ryys managed to reach over and hit the girls face pushing her away, ” The medicine was effective. Are you hungry Rhys?”

He looked at her suspiciously, she is talking way too fast. Rhys knew Beth very well, she only does this when she is nervous. Due to her fast speech, he didn't get a chance to ask what medicine, before she shoved tray a of bamboo rice in front of his face.

”Here this is your favourite food, this should help with your hunger. I'll grill the fish I caught this morning.”

That's not something someone with her position much or less a girl should be saying. His gaze landed on the tray for a few minutes before he realized something, ”....Did you bring me here Beth?”

Sure she has the strength to do that. But something felt wrong. He doesn't understand what that something

”I did,” Beth nodded.

”Did you pat my hair?”

Though it was a bit of an awkward question to ask, he had to know. Because it was when he felt that warmth, despite the hotness he could sense a wave of calm light.

Beth suddenly looked nervous, but she suddenly replied. ”That.....” she paused briefly, ”--- the one who was taking care of you was Yukina-sama. You know the one I mentioned to you before.”

”Can I meet her?” Rhys wondered why the name seemed familiar to him.

”Yukina-sama is very busy, so you should sleep for awhile.”

Rhys reluctantly nodded. He wanted to

He brought the food to his lips and watched the violet hair girl stand up. Rhys doesn't stop her from leaving, and soon he was left alone. He doesn't exactly remember what happened. But if he confirms it with someone from head quarters, they will surely give him an overview.

His gaze landed on his arm, expecting to see some wounds there. However, he could no longer see traces of the wound. Rhys scanned his body and found only light marks where a severe gash was earlier.

What medicine did he drink? Even such a severe wound has healed. 'How peculiar...'

Well until he has fully recovered, he will stay here and then ask that Yukina woman questions. This isn't the castle, so he can avoid meeting Lyn for awhile. After what he did to her, he didn't know how to face her. Did he successfully scare her away? Rhys never wanted to do that to her, but he had no choice.
