Chapter 87 The Promised Flower 1 (1/2)

Mansion in XXX Town (Year 4019 Mist Kingdom)

When Lyn woke up and saw the orange rays of light fill the room, she sat up abruptly, what time is it? Did she just sleep all morning to the afternoon? Lyn doesn't recall the last time she got this much sleep. She had to admit, Rhys company wasn't too bad as annoying as his persistence on courting her was.

Rhys knew how to relax despite these peril times. Though it was apparent why she was so stressed, it didn't help that her environment was negative. The people she associated with were just as stressed as her. That must be why Lyn felt so relaxed around Rhys - that man doesn't stress about anything. Once in a while, he would get a distressed look on his face. But that's all.

She got up immediately and stretched her arms. Lyn spotted a small package from the corner of her eye. Since someone placed it near her bed, Lyn knew it was for her. Sure enough, when she picked up the box, she saw it was addressed to her.

To my future wife,

Your old clothes were covered in blood, not a pleasant thing to wear I'm sure.

She sighed. No other person in this world would call her his ”future wife.” It was rather stupid of him to get big-headed and call her his wife though. A deep sigh passed her lips; maybe he can act this way because of the memories she lost. After much thought, Lyn decided it would be better for her to get those memories. Initially, when she heard it, Lyn decided it would be better for her to remain ignorant. After all, Rhys looked so pained whenever it's mentioned. Something terrible happened, and she honestly didn't want anymore on her shoulders right now. However, for the sake of her sanity, she should probably try to recall. Otherwise how else would she deal with Rhys?

A few hours later.

It was late when Rhys returned to the mansion. They ended up discussing a lot more than just the information Luxin obtained. A deep sigh escaped his lips; in the end, Rhys couldn't answer Luxins question. Regarding Lyn, what is he supposed to do right now? No matter how many times he questioned himself, no answers came to mind. Why would it? Rhys felt like if he did conclude the situation, then his time with her would end.

”Lyn, I'm back,” not hearing a response. He tiptoed across the hallway. Is she still fast asleep? It wouldn't surprise him to find her sleeping still. After all, she hasn't slept much in a long time. The moment he entered the room; however, he was greeted with the sight of a dust free room and the smell of food.

Lyn appeared from the kitchen door, ”Welcome back!”

Rhys looked at the place in awe - though unlike Kazuya, he furnished his house. Aside from the bedroom that is, he still didn't have a lot of belongings. Yet it looked cleaner than usual, ”Did you do some cleaning?”

Lyn nodded, ”You'll be amazed how dusty the place was. Ah, are you hungry? What would you like? A bath or food?”

”..”

Rhys looked at her dumbfounded, hasn't she adjusted to the wife role way too quickly? Then again since it's her, she's just being courteous. She most likely wants to return the favor and all that. But it still brought a smile to his face.

”Bath.”

”Ah, then I'll get you some towels,” Rhys grabbed her wrist, ”Rhys?”

”You're coming with me.”

Her eyes twitched in annoyance, ”Like I would do that.”

….

Bathroom

This place was neither too fancy nor too small, that's why it made the perfect hideout. It easily blends in with the rest of the houses.

”Hey, Lyn?” Rhys called out. He knew the girl was on the other side of the screen since he told her to stay there though she was very, very reluctant.

”What?”

Sensing her angry tone, he chuckled, ”Why are you so cautious?”

”Because you're a pervert, who knows what you will do.”
