Chapter 539 - What does he want? (2/2)
A few hours later
Lyn was the first one to wake up. She noticed that Rhys clumsily had his arms around her. It was almost like he didn't want to touch her but ended up doing so. He is most likely still angry at her, but what else was she supposed to do then? Ignore Kazuya?
Lyn stood up and realized something, and she now wore different clothes from earlier. A tint of red appeared on her face, and she sighed. She felt embarrassed and nervous. Rhys is an idiot, but it seemed they had a past together.
She wondered if he recognized her right away, and that was why he acted so familiar with her. If that were the case, then it would make more sense, all those bold actions before.
Lyn intended to head out quickly, but when she hears her name, she looked back. Rhys was still fast asleep, but he was calling her name. This is more painful than she thought it would be. After the break up with Kazuya, she did not intend to enter another relationship. She knew Rhys would take advantage of the moment, but she did not think it would go this far.
She thought she would be able to act cold and keep him at a distance, but she became attached quickly. When he first learned about it, that expression on his face was a first seeing him that desperate and hopeful.
That person loves her more than she thought. It was because of that reason that she accepted his hand even though she was not supposed to.
Lyn bent down and kissed his forehead softly. ”Goodnight .” Due to the state of his emotions earlier, she could not say this to him. Lyn quickly exited the room after that and walked down the corridors.
”When is Kazuya leaving?” Lyn called out.
Despite the darkness of the night and silent corridor, Lyn knew that her guard was there.
Pupillam hesitated but nodded. ”Tomorrow morning before dawn, mam. Your brother, the First Prince, gave the order to leave quietly so nobody would notice.”
Indeed it is exactly like her brother to do something like that. Everybody knows that Kazuya has a habit of disappearing and not staying in one place for long. But there are always people who see him.
”How long do you think it will be until they figure things out?”
”The First Prince said he could keep sir Kazuya's departure for a month or two.”
Two months and maybe even less, huh? If the people were to find out that Kazuya returned to the Sound Kingdom, then they would surely urge Mother to prepare for war.
Not many people think favorably of Kazuya, even though Kazuya worked hard to reverse their opinions. Many still dislike him.
”Where is my brother tonight?”
She watched as a dark gaze appeared on Pupilliams face at that comment, but she quickly answered. ”He said he would stay over at Lady Gabrielle's room tonight.”
Brother is so heartless when it concerns other girls. Lyn deeply sighed. ”That's enough, Pupilliam; you get some rest tonight.”
”Yes, but Princess…”
”I will merely have a look at the greenhouse and then head back.”
She wants to see something beautiful to calm her heart. Pulliam hesitated but quickly left. Once she was sure the girl went, Lyn extended her hand out, and a beam of light appeared in her hands. She managed to capture some of the melodies Kazuya played earlier.
Before he leaves, she wants to see him.
