Chapter 523 - Tale of Rain Part 5 (1/2)
One month later.
It was becoming increasingly difficult for him not to worry about Lyn. The first few days aside, the first week and the second week - Rhys thought Lyn would settle down. But since her father left not only does she not smile often but she ends up doing such dangerous things. When he found out that she wasn't in her room, he didn't panic as much as before. She is more than familiar with this place now. But his only issue was that she sent the servants away again.
Thankfully Lyn did not go too far this time and he found her in the central gardens. She was hunched over by the rose bushes and he quickly approached her. ”What are you doing?”
”Rhys.” Lyn said weakly.
He glanced over and spotted the blood on her fingers and grabbed her hand. ”I told you before to be careful.” Rhys quickly took some tools out of his bag and patched up her wound.
”But it was so pretty and also...wanted to give..” Lyn suddenly stopped mid-sentence causing him to frown more. What was she about to say there?
”Are you okay?” Rhys decided to just ask her directly.
It will do him no good second guessing like this.
”Rhys do you like spending time with me?”
Huh?
”Answer me.”
Why is she even asking him something like that? Rhys nodded. ”Of course I like spending time with you.”
”More than other people?”
”For example?”
She turned quiet for a moment before mumbling. ”Those Princess who came recently.”
At that comment his eyes widened. He scanned her expression and immediately understood. Is she jealous? The Princesses Lyn mentioned are the daughters of the nobles pushing the issue of his engagement. It seemed like they had already arrived at the capital before he made that announcement so he couldnt push them away.
Lyn hugged him tightly. ”I dont want to share.”
The minute he thinks she is cute and adorable he loses.
Rhys tried not to look at her but it was difficult. Damn it seems like he has lost already. Just when he thought that she was becoming emotionless it seemed her silent behaviour was because of him. Why does Lyn keep doing things like this?
The main reason why he is in a rush to get rid of those Princesses is because of Lyn. Now that he knew that she is a Princess it would be okay to get engaged to her right? Since they want a fiance for him this badly then they will get it.
”You were worrying about this?”
A lovely shade of red appears on her cheeks and he felt his heart beat. ”That is uh..”
”I'm all yours Princess.”
”I--I see.” She seemed relieved.
”So what were you doing here?”
”Ah I was heading to the rose palace. I heard the roses have bloomed there and wanted to get a better look.”
”Then let me go with you.”
”Are you finished with everything?” She asked cautiously. Rhys knew the girl hated it when he skipped out on his duties to spend with her.
”Mmm, I finished early today.”
”Then okay!” The two of them walked down the path and Rhys explained how every area in the castle uses some form of magic.
”So this includes the rose garden. The flowers you will see in that area are made from magical seeds so the roses wont be normal. Also there is something called the tree of life in the center.”
”The tree of life?”
