Chapter 516 - I understand a little now (1/2)

'But your Queen Orthez daughter.' No matter how much he loved her, this thought haunted him at night. Lyn is that woman's daughter.

Rhys felt her lips on his neck and he shuddered. Well if she is going to act so bold why would he refuse her? Still, she is so small and cute, completely different from those other women.

”Lyn, we need to investigate.”

The innocent girl in his arms however continued and a content sigh passed his lips. Not that he is against this. She is good at reading people's emotions. She probably thinks this is the only way to calm him down.

Rhys had enough so he cupped her cheeks again and kissed her soft petal like lips.

After kissing for a few minutes Rhys pulled back slightly. ”Are you okay?”

”A bit tired.” She slumped her head on his shoulders. ”Can I rest for a bit?”

Rhys looked at their surroundings for a moment before he nodded. ”Hey Lyn?”

”Yes?”

”I don't understand why you're staying with me.”

The girl sighed deeply. ”What a stupid question.”

”I know you like Kazuya.”

”Mmm.”

Rhys knew she wouldn't deny it. She isn't the type of person who would lie. ”Then…”

She brushed her lips against his again. But it was a light and brief kiss, Lyn pulled away almost immediately.

”Does it bother you that much?” Lyn asked. ”You seem troubled whenever we are together.”

”Thats not it, I just dont understand you were happy with Kazuya.” Rhys trailed off. ”Even now when he closed his eyes he could still see it clearly. The image of Lyns happy face whenever she is with Kazuya.

”I was.” Lyn agreed. ”Kazuya was very kind to me. From the very day we met he helped me. He also told me that he wont judge me because of my past.”

Your past does not define your future.

Now that he thought about it Kazuya mentioned that to him too. Back then he told Kazuya to save those words for a girl who he really likes. Heh, to think it would end up like this now. What a troublesome situation. He got caught up in a love triangle, and the rival is his best friend. How stupid and pointless and yet Rhys knew he would not be able to give this up. It is impossible for him to surrender. If it were in the past he would not have made this much of an effort just for a single woman.

Lyn is different from all the others. But if she were to learn the truth, he wondered what she would think of him. Would she dislike him?

”If it is like that then why did you two break up?” Rhys asked.

It seems like they have deep feelings for one another even now. It stings to know this but he needs to face the truth now otherwise it will get worse later on.

”But Rhys I am still a Princess.”
