Chapter 524 - Tale of Rain Part 6 (2/2)

Ryan chuckled. ”Should I come?”

”Do as you wish, but do not get in my way.”

It seems he can leave this matter to his first and second brother. Isaki turned to him. ”I will stay with you two and inspect the room too.”

”Yeah.”

.....

It did not take them long to reach the room perhaps because brother made them go through a strange pathway.

”I can't detect any spying spells but there are some parts in the room that seems strange. It feels like some things have been moved.” Isaki commented.

So in other words somebody tampered with the items in here making it easier to break in. Rhys felt very frustrated. How come he did not notice? He spends every single day with Lyn but he did not realize it at all.

”It's probably dark magic,” Rhys mumbled.

”Dark magic that can escape you?”

”Even I have my limits. But it is weird.” Even if it were spells he did not know, he should be able to detect it. His gaze fell on Lyn who was pretending to sleep. He will check the room properly when she is actually sleeping.

Rhys walked over to the girl on the bed and sat down. ”Are you okay? Sorry that you ended up frightened.”

Lyn bit her lip. ”Is it my sister's?”

It seemed like she overheard the conversation and learned it wasn't a ghost. But what did she say? ”Your sister...the First Princess?”

”Ah-huh. Back in the palace sometimes I would wake up and felt that my body was being held down by something heavy. Sometimes I would catch a glimpse of my sister's seal but in the next second, they are on the ground begging. I am knocked out before I process what happens but it is a very scary experience…”

Rhys clenched his fist tightly when he heard those words. One does not have to be a genius to figure out what was about to happen there. The First Princess is crazy? She must be crazy, why would she ask somebody to do that to her six-year-old sister? He knew that they were not completely related since the Queen has multiple partners but even then..such an immoral thing is it possible?

It seems he will have to report this to first brother and have him investigate. Lyn has not been here long enough for people to have grudges against her so indeed it must be somebody from the Mist Kingdom.

”Rhys?” Lyn said worriedly.

Rhys laid down beside her and her eyes lit up. She snuggled closer to him and he held her hands. ”Get some rest, Princess. I am here, nobody will harm you.”

”Rhys, do you have a fiance?” Lyn suddenly asked.

”No—” He paused when he saw the bright smile on her face. It seems like he was doomed from the very moment that he met her. She really does look cute. Gah, he must be going crazy. What kind of nine-year-old child has such impure thoughts?

Does such impure blood run in the family? Look at his father chasing after women at such a young age.

”Okay, good.”

Rhys blinked when he heard her response. Good? Why is it good? Could it be that she also… Rhys shook his head. Lyn is young, she has no idea about such things yet. She probably only thinks that his presence is comforting or something.

Her upbringing seems very unusual too so for her to crave the warmth, love, and attention from another person would not be strange. But no matter how much he tried to convince himself, Rhys felt that there was something wrong.
