Chapter 493 - Thorn (2/2)

Lyn chuckled. ”Mmm, he treats me well.”

Lethia clenched her fist when she heard Lyn's words. 'Treats you well? That barbaric man?' He may call himself Prince but he does not act like a noble at all. Yet why does Lyn look so proud? It's annoying.

Rhys bent down and kissed her sister's forehead. ”Could you stay here for a bit Lyn?”

”Ah, alright.” Lyn nodded. ”I will see you later.”

It makes her sick.

Why can her sister smile despite the circ.u.mstances? Lethia doesn't understand this woman at all.

”Princess Kizaki has arrived.”

At that comment, Lethia turned to the direction of the stairwell. She quickly excused herself and made her way over.

”The search for that item should be put into motion quickly? ” she repeated.

Her grey hair assistant nodded. ”I am sure you've noticed it. The members of the aristocratic party are desperate for you to return. It isn't just them, the main branch, the company. Eventually, they'll all start a fuss. We should speed up our search, have you challenge that person, and leave right afterward. ”

Lethia placed the cup of tea down. She understands what Kizaki is saying very well. Even she cannot delay things any further. Her immediate departure from will happen exactly as she said. ”Normally, when a member of the royal family is gone for so long. Her parents and the elders start getting involved. But fortunately, in your case, your parents are far too busy to be back at home either. ..”

Kizaki pauses. ”There js no chance of them trying to drag you back, correct? ”

She shook her head. ”Both are very busy like what you just said. And Mother has never been the type to put a stop me when I'm planning anything. Then again, she is simply too busy herself to take action.”

”And the other members?”

Lethia looked away.

Even now, that person's brilliant figure remains and words she said then have yet to leave her mind. Her childhood was filled with struggles. From a young age, Lsthia didn't know she was a Princess. She doesn't know what happened but she was separated from her family.

This was before Lyn was born.

Lethia was not an emotionless person but simply unaccustomed to people's emotions. So after those people took her in and three months later, being told that she was the long lost Princess. Lethia didn't understand.

She could not help but laugh. Although she thought there was something unusual with her appearance. The colour of her dress was faded and ragged but Lethia remembered the faintest trace of jewels.

From her earliest memory she always wore that dress, and after that person took her in. She found herself not being too overwhelmed by the extravagant life style, it all felt natural.

So when she found out she was a princess, all the pieces came crashing together and she recalled the reason how she ended up in the slums. The smiles and faces of people whom she once knew all too well surfaced, and when she saw those very people again - with the same smiles.

Lethia understood. 'Ah, I've thrown a retch into their plans.' Indeed they probably thought they got rid of the hindrance.
