Chapter 513 - Vow (1/2)

Rhys watched as a complicated expression appeared on the girl's face. It's not like he doesn't understand completely where she is coming from. But up until recently none of this stuff mattered to him. He wants to take his time with her, and to gradually learn everything. But at the same time he understood that he does not have the luxury of time.

'Those people are gradually getting impatient.' By those people Rhys referred to the members of the Sound Kingdom. Everybody in their team here has gotten attached to Lyn, so nobody has reported anything. They've all kept their mouths shut. That's a good thing otherwise they wouldn't be able to stay with her.

His thoughts broke off when he saw Lyn's cheeks puff into a pout. He chuckled and wrapped his arms around her. ”Don't get mad anymore.”

”You're always fooling around.” She pushed his hands away. ”I'm going to be busy, so don't bother me for awhile.”

'She is so helpless.' Acting coy with him? Since they started this unusual relationship Rhys has learned more things about her.

He grabbed her wrist and turned her around, he used this chance to kiss her deeply.

For the next few minutes the only sounds in the room were her beautiful m.o.a.ns.

”Do you get it yet?” Rhys mumbled when he parted their lips. Lyn's entire face was beet red, her breathing was unsteady.

The next thing he knew though the girl shoved him with a huge amount of force. Rhys sighed deeply. ”Don't use your powers over something like this.”

”..”

”Besides you're the one who came here.”

At that comment Lyn mumbled something but Rhys clearly heard her. This woman is so complicated. Rhys sometimes wondered how Kazuya managed to deal with her.

”Why did you come here?” Rhys asked in a serious tone. If she wanted to fool around like usual she wouldn't fight back as much.

”I just wanted to ask you something, do you know about the strange rumors regarding us?”

”Rumors?”

”The ones going around in the castle and town.”

Rumors huh? The thing is since he came here, he has become a subject of gossip. At some point he stopped listening to it all. ”Do these rumors bother you?”

He doesn't deny nor answer her question.

Lyn bit her lip. ”I just want to clarify something. I am nobody's possession. I like you but there are limits - you don't own me. I have my own free will. If I don't want to do something you can't make me.”

So there are those types of rumors now? Honestly, this is irritating. Why does she have to concern herself so much about such pointless matters?

Rhys pulled her back into his arms before he pushed her down onto the couch. Lyn hits him but he grabbed hold of her hands. ”Stop struggling.”

”I'm being serious here. I hate it when you behave this way.”

”Then what do you want from me?”

Lyn hesitated before she leaned forward and lightly kissed him.

”I want you to be honest.”

Rhys sighed deeply. ”Aren't I honest all the time?”

”Your always hiding something.”

'It's not like I want to.'  If possible Rhys didn't want to hide anything from her. Lyn deserves to know everything. She is the future Queen of the Mist Kingdom. He came here intending to destroy this place but how can he do that now?

Now that Lyn has resolved to take the throne, how could he go through with that plan? Kazuya and the others think the same too. If they destroy this place like the original plan then Lyn will become their enemy.

It is a scenario he wants to prevent as much as possible.
