Chapter 441 - So right now you can be mine? (1/2)

*UNEDITED*

Three days later - Year 4014 Mist Kingdom -

Rhys couldn't believe the ridiculous news he was hearing. He only left them be for three days, but he didn't think upon his return. Something this ridiculous would happen. Are they both insane? A mutual break up? 'The Princess initiated it.' That part got to him greatly. Lyn broke up with Kazuya? Did the plan actually work? It's true that he noticed Lyn's feelings gradually change. But even then Lyn didn't remove Kazuya's present.

'It can't be...' Rhys thought. He hurried down the halls in the main palace. Lyn is apparently here today. The news about Kazuya and her aside. It's suddenly okay for her to enter the main section of the castle? A lot of people spoke about it on the way down. It won't take long before everyone in the castle learns about Lyn's identity.

”Lyn!”

The moment he entered the room though, Rhys found the girl changing. He averted his gaze, ”I didn't know you were changing.”

”I have dance practice. What brings you here? You just got back right?” Lyn said.

It surprised him how calmly she was replying.

”You broke up with Kazuya?”

”Yes, I suppose you heard.”

'She is way too calm about this...' Rhys didn't understand. Maybe if he looks at her expression. He turned around and was grateful she finished changing. He doesn't know

”You seem to be quite drunk. Shall I fetch you some water?”

Rhys grabbed hold of her wrist, ”You suddenly look prettier.”

”Is it the outfit? I dressed accordingly to your preference.”

”Lyn, what are you planning,” he trailed off. ”This isn't like you.”

She reached over and brushed her fingers across his lips. His eyes widened even more and yet a content sigh escaped his lips. Rhys liked the feeling of Lyn tracing his lips like this. ”It isn't like me?” Lyn mumbled softly.

”It isn't, but I don't dislike it,” Rhys placed his hand on his forehead. He had way too much to drink and felt terrible. However when he received the news, he had to rush back to confirm it. The second Rhys stepped into the palace he confirmed it.

”I thought as much. Shall I fetch you some water?”

Rhys shook his head and wrapped his arms around her. He doesn't understand what happened with her and Kazuya. But it's okay for him to touch her now isn't it?

”Rhys, are you feeling alright?”

”Stay still.”

Why is Lyn so warm? This young girl, why does she make him feel better just by standing here. A mere glimpse is all it took for him to calm down. Despite the terrors he witnessed earlier, he suddenly felt a lot better. What is this? What kind of affect does this girl have?

An accidental glance, briefly hugging. Rhys cupped her cheeks. ”So right now you can be mine right?”

He doesn't wait for a confirmation and pushed the girl down onto the ground. The ground was naturally cold and Rhys paused for a moment. Should he do something to make sure she is comfortable?

”Rhys?”
