Chapter 95 - The Promised Flower (9) (2/2)

At XXX Mansion

Lyn stood in the decking area as she watched the sky deep in thought, ”Say Kazuya, what happened to Rhys?”

”What do you mean?”

”I haven't seen him lately,” though Lyn only noticed he was missing this afternoon. She felt bad about it. But now that she thought about it carefully, she hadn't seen spoken to him since the day Kazuya came back.

”Gathering Intel, don't worry he will be back soon,” Kazuya muttered.

Lyn saw his uneasy expression and frowned; a sudden thought came to her. Now that she thought about it, Kazuya should know about her and Rhys. The reason why he seemed so distant to her when she woke up in the Sound Kingdom means he knows what happened between her and Rhys. But he isn't telling her.

She wrapped her arms around him and clung to him. Kazuya laughed, ”What are you doing Lyn?”

”Kazuya, Kazuya, do you love me?”

”I do,” Kazuya said.

”Then, why did Rhys say this was all something you planned?”

Lyn understood that the friendship between them is strong. She saw it all those years ago. It was one thing to send Rhys to protect her - but another to make her remember her memories. Noticing his silence, her frown deepened.

”Kazuya?” Lyn called out.

”I'm sorry,” he apologized, ”I just thought it would be better for you to remember. It would be easy for me just to tell you everything myself. But if I did that, you'll hear everything from me, and you probably won't remember anything,” Kazuya shook his head, ”No if you heard it from me you'd be subjected to bias.”

His tone contained bitterness, and Lyn paused. It must be hard for him to accept, while Lyn does not remember having feelings for Rhys at all. Kazuya does, Kazuya heard everything when he was all the way out to the Sound Kingdom. How difficult must that have been for him to hear? Hearing the woman he loved was getting closer and closer to another man, how much pain did he feel? Lyn felt bad. However, she had to know the truth.

The one thing she disliked the most was loose ends, ”Kazuya, can you still tell me?”

The only reason she went along with Rhys ridiculous whims was so he could let his guard down. However, Lyn realized her plan was failing, and the increasing longing she had for her husband every day made it worse.

Before she knew it, she used the chance she was alone in the bath to harm herself. If Kazuya hears this wasn't the first time, Lyn knew he would bring her with him. In the past, it would have been easy to drop everything and rush to his side. But that's not the case now. The two of them have grown up and have responsibilities.

Lyn realized how quickly her thoughts drifted to Kazuya, and she cursed. In the end, everything leads her back to Kazuya. While she was very curious about the 'I was once in love with Rhys' theory, what's more, important to her is staying by her husband's side.

What's more important is Kazuya, whatever Kazuya wants she would do it. If he feels uncomfortable about this which he clearly does, then she shouldn't per sue it. However, at the same time since it's a matter that causes him so much unease. Lyn wants to help him overcome it.
