Chapter 463 - Dancing in the Moonlight Part 1 (1/2)
*UNEDITED*
On the other side of the Mist Kingdom, in the district. At one of the largest brothels, was Rhys. The reason why he was here? It was obvious. His gaze fell on the window as he looked at the busy streets. While this area is not directly in the main town, it was still a dangerous area. Many of the Stone Kingdom men come to this place to relax. So none of the Mist Kingdom elites or soldiers should be here. But from here Rhys spotted many familiar faces on the streets. A deep sigh crossed his lips.
”Did you know it is the Second Princess birthday today?”
The woman with him now is not the one he chose to see. But she is the back up, Rhys did not like her. But he did not dislike her either. He is not attached to any of the women in this place. At least he isnt attached to the ones who have hidden intentions.
”Birthday?” Rhys repeated.
”Not even knowing the birth date of the woman you love, what a cruel man.”
”Everybody in the district knows, and so?” she questioned.
Rhys already knew what she was trying to get at, but he did not reply. Images of his previous attempts appeared in his head. Rhys did not like talking about what happened between him and Lyn. He wanted to respect the girl's privacy. But one of the main reasons why he dropped by today was because he was getting frustrated.
”I didn't touch her.”
It was four simple words and yet Sasara understood, the girl burst into laughter and Rhys looked away. ”Is it that amusing?”
”Of course it is. For a man like you who has laid their hands on every single girl in this place not to touch is strange.” Sasaras lips curved to a smile. ”I thought a little girl like that would make an interesting play toy for you, rumors say she is innocent and doesnt know anything of the world.”
Innocent, that girl? Rhys wanted to laugh. That Princess is not innocent. Rhys wondered why he did not notice it much sooner.
”I would appreciate it if you didn't go near my customers.” An icy voice from the door way said.
His lips curve to a smile when he hears a familiar voice. Rhys glanced over and saw a tall woman with long lilac coloured hair. Here she is, this is the woman he mainly - no the only one he was fond of. To him all the other girls were nothing. But this one? There was something that differed from all the others. The number one courtsean in this establishment, Melissa.
Before a fight could break over, Rhys extended his hand out. ”Melissa.”
At that comment Sasara's entire face turned red embarrassed. A mixture of anger and embarrassment. ”Fine then!” She exclaimed and rushed out of the room.
”It seems you hurt her pride.”
Rhys sighed. ”She already knew she was a substitute, I don't understand why she is upset.”
Melissa sat down on his lap and ran her fingers through the exposed gap in his clothes. A content hum passed his lips. ”You're good at this.”
Melissa sighed. ”Of course sir,” She emphasized the sir. ”This is my job.”
Her job huh? Rhys always felt that this girl does not belong in a place like this. Her movements are far too elegant and graceful for somebody in this place. While the courtesans here are trained to be graceful and elegant. Rhys could tell the difference between the real deal and a fake.
”Do more.” Rhys instructed. It was just two words and yet that was enough.
