Chapter 89 The Promised Flower 3 (2/2)

Letter?

So that's the thing she was hugging to sleep last night. A deep sigh passed his lips. Rhys felt irritated, but he knew he could do nothing about it.

”Will you go?”

”He told me to wait, but I don't know how long, I want to see him now,” Lyn said.

'Why is she acting like this now,' Rhys thought? Is it because of the fever? Is that why she is suddenly acting strange? Well whatever it is, Rhys knew he wouldn't be able to avoid talking about this, ”If he's asking to meet with you, then that confirms he isn't sick of you. If he's asking you to wait, that means he wants to clear the dangers first before you find him.”

”But he told me to save him.”

His sweat fell at that comment, that stupid guy. Why does he have to predict that he will get in trouble? Rhys didn't respond, and Lyn said nothing. Maybe she finally decided to go to sleep. Just as he thought that though, a faint voice spoke up, ”Say, Rhys,”

”What?” Why doesn't she sleep?

”What's your relationship with Ayah?”

Rhys deeply sighed, why did she have to ask the most troublesome question for? ”What do you think about it?”

”During the academy days. I heard you two were a couple. People stopped picking on Ayah for a while because of that rumor,” Lyn explained. A couple? Him and that woman? Hah, ”Rhys?”

”We weren't in a relationship, at least on the surface anyway.”

”So, you were in a fake relationship?”

”In exchange for protecting you, I went along with her whims,” Rhys explained.

”So it was a fake relationship.”

He could see some gears turning in her head, and he exhaled deeply. He reached over and flicked her forehead, ”It's not the sweet sounding fake relationship like you and Kazuya had. Besides, you two differed from the rest,” he trailed off. That's right. Lyn and Kazuya differed from those who start a fake relationship for a business-related matter. The two were already close, no they were already in love with each other.

”Un, I think so too.”

”Did you know back then that Kazuya liked you?”

”Well,” Lyn paused before she nodded, ”I figured it was something like that. Honestly, I can't say so for sure, since it would make me look arrogant. However, Kazuya never once lied to me. Back then, he told me everything, even if it meant exposing your plans.”

Rhys raised his eyebrows, ”He told you everything?”

Lyn nodded, ”Ah-huh,”

”Should you admit that to me?”

Laughter passed her lips, ”But you're the ambassador and between the Mist Kingdom and the Sound Kingdom. The Mist Kingdom is more like you're home now, right?”

How on earth does she know about that? Lyn's gaze softened, ”Kazuya told me. Kazuya seems to notice these things about people, even after spending only a short time with them,” Rhys did not focus on the girl's words but his gaze fell on her expression. No matter what, even back then she never made that face for him. This is the expression she made for Kazuya and Kazuya alone. That's why Rhys always knew what they had was shallow in comparison.

Rhys felt a growing irritation and looked away. How did this end up with them talking about Kazuya?
