Chapter 490 - State of mind (2/2)

”A few more minutes.”

”Nnnngh...” She ran her hands through his hair. ”Don't damage my dress too much.”

So she's giving him permission? Good girl. This is one of the things he liked about her. She was not like the other women. All those women were fickle and only wanted him for one thing, his body and wealth. But Lyn differed from them, she was not meak and innocent but nor was she a vixen with bad intentions. His thoughts broke off when he saw her extended her hand out and she buried her face in his shoulders.

”It does feel good.”

”Are you comfortable?” Rhys asked. It was a stupid question. What on earth is he asking her after all this time? ”Should I put more pillows…”

Lyn shook her head. ”This is fine.”

He hasnt even done it with her yet and look how she is reacting. What is this girl trying to do to him?

He no longer understood his state of mind.

.....

Rhys glanced over at the girl who was surrounded by people. When he thought of the events a few minutes ago, he would sigh. 'It's not fair.' Though the two of them are a couple now, he barely saw her. Then again with her status, the fact that he could even speak to her regularly was already a blessing.

While nobles love tend to be fake and superficial, they did have a few good ideas when it came to romance. Wearing the same colour as their partner showed they had a good relationship with them. So when Lyn and him showed up earlier, it caught everybodys attention.

She stood out a lot before but now that her identity as the Second Princess is revealed, more people flocked to her. He knew her very well, so he understood that the smile she wore on her face was fake. It seems like she has learned how to adjust to these events.

Rhys leaned against the railing and sighed. So many people approached him after he had no choice but to escort Lyn to Prince Allen. But he paid them no attention and secluded himself in the balcony on the second floor. The people here did not try to approach him and Rhys understood why. These people came out here because they wanted to be left alone.

His gaze flickered onto the pretentious woman who was laughing. The First Princess actually came here. This maybe a dukes party but even then Rhys did not think that woman would waste her time on an event like this.

Rhys thoughts broke off when he spotted the who suddenly stood beside him. ”Lady Penelope.”

So she came to this gathering too? Rhys raised his eyebrow. It seems like the people who usually dont attend such events are all gathering. It was not just lady penelope but he spotted some other people too. ”What is the occasion?”

Penelope sighed. ”I heard Princess Lethia has been discussing her engagement. But we do not know who the man is. People said he would attend the gathering tonight.”

So that is why so many curious faces have shown up here.

”Also quit pouncing on Lyn.”

”Damn.” Rhys cursed. ”How could you tell?”

”She came to me blushing earlier and inquired about how to please a man.” Penelope clicked her tongue irritated. ”What on earth have you done to my pure and innocent Lyn?”
