Chapter 480 - Peach coloured blossoms (1/2)

It would not be the first time for Lyn to mess around with him like this. Ever since this girl broke up with Kazuya and spent a lot of time with one another, Rhys has learned more about her. She is more cunning and sly than one would think. Other people see this woman as innocent, but Rhys does not think so at all. If Lyn were innocent, then she would not have been able to go along with this fake relationship.

Whenever he recalled how their relationship has turned into a more s.e.x.u.a.l one, Rhys would curse himself. There was nothing wrong with how things were before. Why did he not patiently court her?

Patiently courting, huh? As if he could do something like that.

A flash of brown appeared in his head. Then again, if that person could do it, why can't he?

Rhys knew that was a weak argument since he differs from Kazuya. What use is there comparing... He paused in mid-thought when he realized something, now that he thought about it.

Lyn rolled her eyes. ”First of all, you have to tell me what you were doing. But I guess you don't have to explain.” She walked over to him, and he felt her arms wrap around his neck.

Rhys wrapped his arms around her waist, but the girl puffed her cheeks. ”It seems you did not miss me very much.” She mumbled.

Oh dear, why is she doing this to him? She is adorable right now. Rhys had conflicting feelings right now. Lyn is gradually getting more and more attached to him. He does like the idea of that, but is it okay? If Lyn gets too attached, what would happen to Kazuya?

That is a stupid question. Lyn already broke up with Kazuya, so why on earth is he acting so concerned for his friend? Still, he has to admit that he likes Lyn when she acts childish around him.

It makes me feel that she trusts me.

Rhys knew that thought was very naive of him. But ever since his feelings for Lyn grew. Rhys realized it was far too late for him to go back to normal. He already made plans on how to steal her away. He already made the arrangements; all he has to do is get Lyn to agree. He knew Lyn was not the type of person who would agree to such an arrangement unless she was in love with him. This will be a race against time.

Kazuya keeps delaying his leaving date. If he keeps this up any longer, then those people from the Sound Kingdom would personally drag Kazuya back. Rhys does not want Lyn to see that sight.

But Rhys knew why Kazuya was doing this. His friend is trying to delay their orders to attack the Mist Kingdom. Initially, the meet up in January involved them both returning so they could report everything and prepare for the fight. That changed when Kazuya started to go out with Lyn. Instead of that plan, they decided among them that only one should go. If anything happened, the other one would be able to take Lyn away and protect her.

In the end, Rhys brought Lyn to the spot he mentioned. The second they arrived, Rhys could not miss how crowded it was. It's probably a good thing he came here disguised. Coming to this spot with a girl as himself would make the headlines. It would be a huge scandal. Then again, it seems like everybody knows about Lyn and him now.

”Wow...”

”Everything's peach-colored.”

Indeed the branches were filled with nothing but a mixture of pale orange and pink. ”It is so beautiful...” Lyn muttered.

Rhys could not help but stare at Lyn. Why does she suddenly look even more beautiful than before? Lyn did not wear anything special. In fact, he assumed she probably rushed to come here based on what little clothing she wore.
