Chapter 451 - Ten Centimeteres Part 10 (1/2)

Ah... Her gaze softened at this thought.

Maybe the two of them are similar to one another after all. The reason why she felt drawn to him must be because his eyes are the same as hers. The look in his eyes when nobody else is watching. What sorrows and burden has he experienced? All alone? One day Lyn wants to ask him. Will the day come where she can freely ask him such questions?

She wonders if she can one day learn to be honest with him like she did with Kazuya. It would be cruel of her to compare the two, so she tried to avoid it as much as she could.

Ever since she started doing this stuff with Rhys, the images of a burned down the Mist Kingdom, building in ashes has disappeared. Perhaps Rhys is the key to this destruction, her nightmare. If she stays with him, could she get rid of his hate towards her mother and the Kingdom?

Lyn already knew her answer to that. Whether it's Kazuya or Rhys, neither of them will give up their revenge. She knew that better than anybody, and yet she clings to them like this. When did she become such a selfish person?

Rhys broke the kiss briefly, ”Lyn, you're sweating a lot.”

”I feel hot,” Lyn admitted.

”The window is open, love.”

She knows that, but she can't get rid of the burning sensation in her legs, arms, and chest. She wanted nothing more than to get rid of her clothes.

Unfortunately, though this feeling didn't last long, Lyn felt bile rise to her throat and she quickly urged him of her. She turned to the mini sink on the side and threw up. Rhys patted her back.

”Lyn, don't think about Kazuya too much. He won't die, and he will come back.”

”I'm not worried.”

”Sure, you're not.” Rhys sighed. He ran his hands through his hair. ”I have some meetings to go to. Will you be fine here?”

For a moment, Lyn was surprised. She just threw up, and he will leave her? ”I still feel very sick.”

Rhys glanced over at the clock on the wall. ”Is there time? I don't want to leave you…”

'So if given a chance, he will stay?' Her gaze softened. ”I will be fine,” Lyn interjected. ”Quickly go to your meeting. It's important, right?”

Rhys nodded. ”I will come back quickly. Call me if you need me,” he grabbed hold of her hands and squeezed it. He brushed his lips against her ear. ”You know how to, right?”

”I know.”

He kept kissing behind her ear, and for a few minutes, Lyn remained still.

”You don't refuse anymore. But I know you don't like me that way. Hey, is this acting?” Rhys muttered.

”It's acting.”

”Honestly, you're too blunt.”

Lyn laughed. ”Want to stop?”

Rhys shook his head, ”I won't.” he stood up and fixed his clothing up. Lyn watched as he picked up a few scrolls on the side and passed it to her. ”You wanted to learn the eastern ancient scriptures, right?”

”Ah, is this…” Lyn looked at the scrolls with wide eyes. Did he get them for her?

”Yeah, I managed to get some for you. The letters should be easy in these ones. But if you're stuck, use the book I gave you.”

”Thank you.”
