Chapter 528 - Tale of Rain Part 10 (1/2)
With a troubled mind Isaki ended up going back to his room in a daze. If the situation is that bad in the Mist Kingdom it would be better for Lyn to remain with them. But soon people will find out about her, she will need an identity to stay with them. The title of Rhys' wife or fiance will do but what if somebody recognizes her? What if they notice? It would reflect poorly on her. She is only six years old too, asking her to stay here would be too much.
His thoughts broke off when he heard a knock on the door. ”Come in.”
The doors opened and he could not see anybody at first until he looked down. A small girl was trying to push a fairly large trolley. He stood up and walked over to her, taking the trolley from her.
”Lyn?”
”Ah! Sorry for disturbing. I made some food. I heard that you had not eaten yet.”
Isaki chuckled. ”I am fine but you can cook?”
”Um a little!”
”Then I will take it.” Isaki trailed off. ”Young Lyn, where is Rhys?” Isaki half expected to see his brother emerge through the double doors but he did not.
”Training or a meeting, it was one of those.”
If it were the latter then by now Rhys would be throwing a tantrum. That child is no good when it comes to the formal meetings, or anything associated with the elite circle.
”Young Lyn, I heard about your discussion with first brother.”
At that comment the young girl immediately became fl.u.s.tered. ”Ah um that is-”
”I do not mind.” Isaki interjected. Contrary to what he said to first brother, he does not mind if it is this girl. ”Though I am worried about the Mist Kingdom rules, I believe in what I have seen.”
He already saw with his own eyes how the two interacted with one another. They may be children and the future is still unknown but Isaki believed they would be okay.
”Say.” Lyn suddenly said. ”Do you not have a wife?”
Her question startled him slightly but Isaki calmly replied. ”Not anymore.”
The little girl immediately understood and she seemed to panic a little.
”Uh sorry.”
”No it is okay, besides not many people knew. The ceremony was very small and there was no public announcement.” Isaki trailed off. He always felt bad about that but she never complained at all. Yes that woman never complained about anything.
Then again when he first found her she did not know anything at all. She resembled a doll with no emotions. Moreover the wounds she received were terrible, it looked like she got injured from a fight and then badly beat up. The girl clearly underwent a lot of emotional turmoil. But he stood by her side everyday and eventually her heart seemed to heal. She seldom smiled but her gaze was not as hollow as it was before,
”Was she..”
”She passed away from an illness.”
Although he still suspects it was poison. Moreover he did not get a chance to see her body, only her hand covered with the gloves he gave her. Isaki explained this to her.
”Do you have a picture?” Lyn asked.
Isaki blinked when he heard those words. Why does she seem very interested in this? It must be his imagination. He stood up and walked over to the drawer and took out the only photograph he had of her. She seldom liked taking pictures. This only picture he has of her.
