Chapter 525 - Tale of Rain Part 7 (2/2)

Why is she behaving so weird? What an odd girl?

…..

The next few days felt like pure torture to him. Since Lyn came everything has changed for him. The days he used to find so meaningless and dull brightened up. But now that she was avoiding him Rhys felt himself getting bored and irritated again. His temper before meeting Lyn was quite bad. Maybe it was because he saw how superficial the world was but Rhys disliked his duties as a Prince. The people around him only seek benefits, they do not get to know him as a person. As a noble, living this lifestyle is normal and yet Rhys disliked it a lot. Unlike other nobles who hide their emotions Rhys did not do that.

He was in a very bad mood as he exited the meeting. Another talk about getting a wife again, how annoying. Do those people have nothing better to do than think of his prospect marriage candidates? He is only young, is there any need to rush?

Besides, he doesn't want any of those Princesses. The one he wanted-- Rhys paused when he saw her standing by the large painting at the foyer. She was looking at the picture with great interest.

Rhys walked over and hugged her from the back. He brought his lips to her neck and Lyn muttered. ”Rhys?”

He likes how she knows it is him even without looking.

She turned her head slightly to confirm. ”Uh let me go?”

”I missed you.” The words left his lips quicker than lightning.

He planned to lecture her for avoiding him for so long, but instead such sweet words left his lips.

A guilty look appeared on her face and she swiftly turned around. She wrapped her arms around his neck. ”Sorry.” Her soft voice sounded like petals slowly falling down. ”I was just embarrassed.”

He pulled her away slightly to get a better look at her face. ”Embarrassed?” He repeated.

”You're very popular.” She muttered. ”Actually I heard of you before I came here. So when my father said you would look out for me I was a bit cautious but I was curious too.”

”Where does the embarrassed part come in?”

”Somebody like you said those words..about uh..”

”About liking you?” Rhys finished for her.

She nervously nodded and Rhys sighed. He still isn't quite sure himself. Indeed he is young. He will still meet plenty of girls in the future. Who knows if his feelings for Lyn will fade over time? But what is important is right now, right now he does not want to let go of her. He wants only her.

Rhys extended his hands out and stretched her cheeks causing her to pout.

”What?!!”

”I am not going to rush. We are both young and you already have a fiance.” Rhys paused for a moment. It is still painful for him to accept that she already has somebody. ”If you meet him and decide you don't like him then you can come back to me.”
