Chapter 433 - Web Of Lies Part 6 (1/2)

*UNEDITED*

No, it's more like the past and the present were colliding with each other too much? Either way, it's already too lat. Too late to pretend that nothing between them has happened. It's far too late for him to go back to being content with just simply watching over her.

And it's exactly because he can no longer go back to those times. That the second he fully recovers, he's going straight back to work. Because, despite it almost being a year. Aren't these moves of theirs far too shallow?

Even so, perhaps staying like this for awhile longer is fine.

Rhys knew that his other work would pile up in his absence. When he recovers, he would have more work then before, however - there's a good substitute for him near by.

His thoughts broke off, when the doors slid open revealing purple hair. When he saw her modest looking clothing though he paused. Is it just him or lately does

”Ah! Your awake.”

”Yeah.”

As he watched the purple hair girl take the cloth from his hands and begins to wash it, Rhys decided to ask her straight up. ” …Say, you why did you hide it from me?”

”Hide what?”

”Hide the fact that it's been Lyn coming here,” Rhys muttered. He doesn't know why Beth of all people would hide that information. But,

The purple hair girl was silent for a moment before nodding, ”It's because she requested that of me.”

Requested huh. He doesn't understand why Lyn would do something as troublesome as that.

But, he asking for a reason up front wouldn't be any good either. He supposed it was fine like this for the mean time. If Lyn wants to play this anonymous game then so be it. Two can play that game.

Rhys quickly realized how petty he was acting. 'What game?' Next time Lyn comes over, he ought yo confront her directly.

”Then, I'll also request something of you. Make sure that she doesn't know that I know already.”

Beth smiles, ”What a troublesome duo. But it appears as though, we really are being pulled in by you two.”

Heh.

The warmth of her hand, despite it being small contact strangely comforted him. Even now Haruka couldn't forget the warmth of that hand. Next time she comes, he ought to confront her and then explain it properly.

”But you know Rhys, if it's just concerning your feelings towards Princess Lyn. I believe just telling her directly would work.”

”What do you mean?”
