Chapter 115 - Surprising Visitor (1/2)

West Wing

Rhys didn't think that Lyn would use the teleportation magic to see him. While this area is already in Snow Kingdom grounds, the distance between this place and where Lyn was is a lot. Lyn immediately fell in his arms, and Rhys felt his heart skip a beat, ”What's wrong?”

”I'm a bit dizzy. Oh, thank goodness you're alright. I've been very worried.”

Yet she just came to see him? Well, he supposes it can't be helped. The husband is more important. The fact that she even spared him a second thought is already surprising enough.

Rhys scooped the girl up in his arms, ”Where's Kazuya?”

”I snuck out.”

This again, ”Did you two fight?”

”We didn't; we have a mutual agreement.”

That means they had a fight and came to a half-hearted compromise. Rhys sighed and carried her over to the couch, ”Did you eat, I just made some rice porridge.”

”Food! I am hungry.”

Rhys smiled when he saw the innocent look in her eyes. Since they met again, he hasn't seen her like this.

”Lyn,” Rhys caressed her cheeks, and the girl flinched, ”I missed you.”

”I—I see, okay,” Lyn looked away from him. ”I missed you too.”

”Wahh? Rhys, are you okay?”

”I think I'm hallucinating,” he hadn't seen her act this kind towards him since before she married Kazuya.

”You're not hallucinating, wake up.”

”So, you're acting nice to me now? Why?” Rhys questioned. He felt bewildered, why is she even here?

Lyn sighed, ”Well, I didn't want to act cold in the first place. I just wanted to make you give up on me. But now I see I have to settle things first,” she looked him up and down, ”Back then, when Kazuya left, did we date each other?”

Shoot... Why is she asking him this stupid question? Were they dating? It was really hard to tell.

”You said, you'd give me a chance.”

”I see, so I liked you.”

Wait, wait... Why does she even need to ask this?

”Do you know one of the main reasons why Kazuya kept disappearing after marriage?”

”The jade, right?”

”And you,” Lyn sighed, ”He told me, that we never really ended our relationship. Because of what my sister did, I escaped to the Sound Kingdom and lost my memories...”

So, Kazuya briefed her on everything. But just a brief, knowing that fool, if he were here he would say.. 'The rest is up to you.' What rest? Didn't she strongly reject him in the church already? Since then Rhys had been doing a bit of thinking, should he give up on her already? She's a married woman, married to his best friend.

”So,” Rhys picked up a cup and a bottle of sake he opened earlier and poured the contents. ”What do you want to do about this Queen Lyn?”

”I..”

”You're married already, but that's not it — you're also the Queen. I'm a noble, but unlike Kazuya, I have no charisma or anything to lead people, and I have no desire for the throne. Even if you accepted me back, I wouldn't be able to give you what you want.”

When he realized she didn't reply, he looked over and noticed that she was shaking. Geez, Rhys waltz over, ”Aren't you supposed to be strong now? Don't cry over this.”

Lyn hits him, ”It's your fault, Rhys. Why didn't you just tell me?”
