Chapter 454 - Night Bloming Flowers Part 3 (2/2)
Somebody who seems to understand everything about her. Yet there are many things he doesn't know too.
”Lyn, you're gorgeous. Hey, are you really sixteen?” Rhys asked her.
Lyn drew back from his lips. ”Mmm, I am. But because of the dark magic, I look more mature than people my age.”
”Well, that's true. I've had side effects appearance-wise because of it.”
”So your good looks are from that, got it.”
Rhys pinched her cheeks. ”Was that a compliment or not? Hmmm, make your mind up, love.”
”These days, I feel so content and at ease. But this feels like a dream Rhys.” Lyn muttered.
”Even if it's a dream, you should enjoy it.”
”You're so foolish,” Lyn sighed. ”Tell me something.”
”What would you like to know?”
”A few things, I'd like to know about you.”
”No need, do you want to talk? You're in a position now to do whatever you want with me.”
”Mmm, give me a break.” Lyn rested her head on his chest. His arms went around her waist, and he gently caressed her hair.
”Are you frightened being in the air for so long?” Rhys wondered.
”A little,” she admitted.
”You can relax..”
”I know you won't let anything bad happen to me.” Lyn immediately interjected.
His lips curve to a smile. ”Well I don't know, this is already quite bad.”
”You're a bad influence on me.”
”It seems you were already like this from the start. But hmm, you know back when we were kids, you were already quite bold.”
Lyn sighed, ”Your the one making a move on underaged people.”
Rhys frowned at her comment. ”You didn't tell me your age.”
”Don't judge somebody by their appearance,” she trailed off. ”I have something I wanted to ask you about that time.”
”Go ahead.”
”That magic you used when we first met.”
”Magic?” Rhys acted indifferently. But Lyn saw right through him.
Lyn rolled her eyes, ”A kid fighting an overgrown man?”
”Damn,” Rhys trailed off. ”It isn't anything special, just a spell that increases your body capacity so you can fight people with a stronger psychic.”
”There is magic like that?”
Rhys nodded. ”That smiley guy didn't teach you?”
Ah, he means master, right? ”It's more like he didn't get a chance to. The time I could meet with him was short.”
”Hmm, if it's like that. Just ask him now. Don't you have the freedom to do so?”
”You won't teach me?”
”The thing is I would love to. But my magic is only strong if it's the dark arts. Your better of having that guy teach you. He's a magician, right?”
A magician huh? It's hard to tell at times. That guy is very mysterious. Lyn nodded, ”Okay, but can you help me with sword practice again? I feel like my skills are getting rusty.”
”Sure, I guess we can get closer that way too.”
Rhys said it so casually, and yet Lyn had to pause to look at him. Why is this person so... persistent? Is that the right word to use in this situation? It's difficult for her to swallow. So many people care about her now. When did things change?
