Chapter 458 - I cant do anything (2/2)

”Why do I have to do that?” Lyn trails off. Her expression changed when she saw him flinching slightly, ”Hey…, are your injuries healed up?”

”Almost, in a fort night or two they'll be fine”.

”I see,” Lyn looked at him with a frustrated look on her face. ”You don't want me to do anything about it?”

She still doesn't understand why he is so against her using her healing magic. However judging from his expression, Lyn felt that if she said anything more than Rhys would get mad. Indeed, a frustrated look appeared on his face again.

”Princess Lyn, I appreciate the fact that you trust me. But, I'm still your enemy.”

Lyn reached over and traced his lips with her fingers. ”Mmm, I know that much. You're my enemy, but despite your cruel behaviour at times. You treat me very well.”

”Did it ever occur to you that I may be deceiving you?”

”Well, that thought crossed my mind a lot.” Lyn nodded. She can't deny thinking that way since for a long time she suspected him. Unlike Kazuya, she could not tell what he was thinking. This man from the very straight has always been very strange to her.

His lips curve to a smile, ”And yet you're still here, with me of all people?”

”Because I know you won't harm me.”

”How can you be so sure? I'm not like Kazuya. I've hurt a lot of people and no, nobody ordered me.”

”Even then--” at that comment Lyn suddenly found herself on the ground. The blanket that was wrapped around both of them moments ago was thrown aside. She was no longer in his arms but on the cold ground.

”Rhys.”

”Don't kid yourself,” he mumbled as he brought his lips to her neck. ”From the very start Princess Lyn, I intended to get in yours and Kazuya's way. I knew he wouldn't do his mission properly. When he realized who you were, I knew he would back down.”

”Then, why didn't you do anything sooner?” Lyn questioned.

”Because you won me over with your foolish honesty.” Rhys sighed and her eyes widened at his words. ”From the start I intended to betray you. Up till recently I was thinking of doing it still. However, it seems I can't do anything to you Princess.”

'So, that's why.' Lyn thought. Recently she felt something had changed between them. So this person is serious about her? Lyn still doesn't understand the relationship between a man and a woman very well. However, if Rhys is indeed serious about her. Lyn knew she would no longer be able to ignore him like before.

”You keep saying Princess, Princess.” Lyn wrapped her arms around his neck. ”But, won't you call me by my name?”

Rhys brought his lips to hers and softly muttered, ”Lyn…” before he started kissing her. Another round of intense kissing.

'Her lips are so damaged lately.' Lyn didn't know much about beauty care. So her damaged lips is an issue. Recently Gabrielle seems so busy, so Lyn didn't want to bother her friend. There is one other person she could ask. But asking Beth didn't seem right to her.
