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

Beth pulled a face before she mumbled, ”Actually, I heard how Kazyya confessed to her and how they started dating. He just went ahead and told her. Being completely up front with her works you know?”

Rhys lifts the cup to his lips he paused before he took a sip, ”Up front huh?”

Indeed the actions so far is not what anyone would call 'up front'. It always seemed to be indirect despite their intimacy with each other. Because Rhys felt as though if he said it, then all the feelings from the past would come rushing in. This is the present and although the past influences the present, he didn't want the reason for his feelings for her now to be because of the past.

”Princess Lyn is a complicated person to love I'm sure. And it does appear as though your all having a difficult time because of it, however you are all missing the point here. In the end the one who will suffer the most is her when making the decision. And in the end of the day, it doesn't change the fact that she's just a teenage girl.”

The red head was surprised to hear those words from someone else aside from himself. But his lips curved into a smile, ”Well that's true.”

It was those words that he managed to persuade the main fraction to let her attend a normal school like Iro road in the first place. Because no matter how strong and powerful she is. In the end of the day it doesn't change the fact that she's a normal girl. Underneath everything, she's a normal teenage girl and it's because of that - that he's focussing more on protecting the girls present.

”Hey, when is Lyn coming here today?”

...

It was past midnight when Lyn came. Rhys thought she would show up earlier. For the last few days, he memorized the time she came. Did something happen to her? He was sitting out on the porch smoking when she came.

”Rhys, you're still awake,” a familiar voice mumbled softly breaking his thoughts.

Rhys looked over and spotted a girl wearing a white western looking sleep wear. ”What about you? Why are you awake at this hour?” Rhys questioned.

He recently hears of Kazuya's illness. The fools arm huh? It really does seem as though its something hard to cure. But, he wasn't a witch doctor for no reason. He will find a solution, rather then it being for the boys sake though it's more to do with hers.

Lyn played with the blanket around her fingers, watching the ground. ”I had a nightmare,” she mumbled quietly. However Rhys heard her loud and clear.

”Is that so?” Rhys pretend to be indifferent. But when he hears how feeble her voice is. It took him everything to stop himself from hugging her. He needs to slowly distance himself from her. If that person finds out that Lyn and him are still meeting then...

Rhys shook his head, he can't over think it.

He took a long drag from the pipe, ”What do you want me to do about it?”

”I know your still injured. But I don't want to be alone.”

Right, there was that incident not too long ago. She must feel afraid still. Even though Lyn is stronger and confident. 'She's strong, so she could probably fend of any attacker.' But Rhys supposes it's normal.

”And so?”

”Can I stay here?” Lyn requested.

Rhys almost choked on his pipe when he hears her absurd sounding request. Then again she did this last time too. Doesn't she remember that time? Why is she letting her guard down like a fool first?
