Chapter 436 - Web Of Lies Part 8 (1/2)

Rhys didn't reply to her and walked back over to the mini kitchen. Lyn peeked from her blanket, 'somehow..this is a strange situation.' Why does this person keep appearing before her? Then again, maybe it's just her overthinking everything. Whenever it comes to Rhys, she becomes weird.

With all that's happened lately, Lyn almost forgot about the lockdown. 'What's happening outside?' She wanted to ask Rhys because Kazuya isn't around as much. Kazuya ended up getting hurt when he last went out too. Kazuya, who never gets hurt.

Lyn wanted to go out; she wanted to see with her own eyes. However, they guard her very well. There are no loopholes; she can't escape even if she wanted to. Besides, escaping would mean disrespecting all their efforts.

”Rhys,” Lyn called out. ”Can you come over here?”

”I feel like you're planning on trapping me again, Princess.”

She shook her head, ”I just want to hold your hand.”

”Not this again..”

”You won't come here?”

”I need to make your food, stay put.”

'But she suddenly feels lonely...' Lyn struggled to say those words. Rhys didn't say another word and continued cooking. She weakly stood up and walked over.

Lyn buried her face in his back.

”Princess...”

”A few minutes,” she mumbled.

”You know I quite like it when you give me the back hug..” Rhys admitted causing her to laugh softly.

”I see, I will remember that.”

She wants to remember what he likes, his likes, and dislikes. Alongside her own, Lyn held onto him tightly. Even more than Kazuya, it feels like the person she needs the most now is Rhys.

If anybody hears her say such things, she will surely be punished. But as long as she keeps it to herself, then nobody will know.

Lately, it feels like he is hallucinating a great deal. The main cause for his hallucination is that woman named Lyn. Rhys doesn't understand why she behaves that way lately, does she truly understand what is happening? It's true he practically forced her to decide between Kazuya and him. But even then, Rhys didn't think Lyn would go this far.

Does Lyn genuinely like him? These days that feeling keeps growing stronger.

'I wish for good fortune to befall you.'

Rather than for himself, he clutches the amulet wrapped around his neck. Protect the Princess, continue on doing so. The others, aside from him and the rest of the guards are the only ones who hold that knowledge. About the Princess curse. Its true darkness is a main part of it but that being started as a being of light; and thus if she doesn't get enough of it. .. .
