When Lyn re-entered the room, the two men were engaged in, in-depth discussion about something. Even though Rhys told her she could stay, Lyn figured it was best to get out of the way. But still, Junlan church is actually siding with the Sound Kingdom? The church members of that place are very strict, and many people respect them. It's a place of power. Do the members there also think that Mother should be
"Abeno's speaking with Allen right now. But they should be done shortly. I'll show you around till then," Lyn explained. Now that she thought about it, she's never shown Rhys around her place before.
'We have to maintain our distance..'
So even though she came to that conclusion in such a short amount of time. How on earth did it lead to her being left alone with him.'
'I need to speak with the Prince. You spend time with Rhys. You coming here would be meaningless otherwise.'
No, the reason why she came here was because she heard Abeno was here. But Lyn supposed he could have easily escaped if she wished to. A part of her couldn't take it anymore…
"Rhys, are you even listening to me?" Lyn noticed that she wasn't the only one spacing out.
"Yeah...Wait, why are you getting so close?"
Lyn, however, doesn't back away and placed her hand on his face, "...You seem pale, are you resting enough?"
"I'm fine. You're more important."
Lyn swiftly ignored that comment.
"Is that so? Please don't strain yourself too much. Although it's quite complicated, I don't mind remaining here for a while."
"You say you don't mind. But being cooped up in a mansion doesn't suit you at all. Even if you're okay with it, you're still a girl."
Lyn nodded, " That's right. But I'm also a princess. A princess duty is to take care of her subjects and the palace. Rhys, I will protect this place. That's why whenever you have time feel free to visit, I want you to grow to love it also."
"I'll like this place better if we're always together." he murmurs.
At that comment, Lyn froze, uh… She immediately tried to hurry away. But Rhys grabbed hold of her wrist.
"Wh-"
"Is it true?"
"What's true?"
"Until you get formally married. Any relationship you have isn't official."
Lyn bit her lip but nodded. "Yes, it's a peculiar tradition. But that's how things are in the Mist Kingdom. It's to give the bride and groom a chance to meet other people. If they still stick with each other in the end, their marriage is blessed…"
Personally, to her, it sounded stupid. That's why she wanted to get into a proper relationship with Allen. However, that man wouldn't change his way of looking at her. That's why...she asked Kazuya, she wanted to fall in love properly this time. "But even if it's like this I'm…" Her sentence fell short when she saw the look in Rhys eyes.
He reached over and caressed her cheeks. "I still stand a chance? I can be with you?" his question caught her off guard. Lyn hadn't realized how badly Rhys liked her. Okay, sure she noticed his feelings. But Lyn didn't think he wanted things to be official.
Initially, she only saw him as a playboy. From that time he escorted her around during the opening day. However, the more time that passed, the more she learned about him, the more she realized that it wasn't like that. One cannot judge people by their appearance or rumors. But the main reason why she saw Rhys that way was simply because of what he did during that day. The moment he kissed her without any regard to her feelings was the moment she became wary of him.
But, since then he has changed quite a bit. Is it because of her?
"Rhys…"
"Hey, what will it take for you to change your mind? Do you know how badly I want you every day? I want to hold you in my arms and call your name out. I want to feel your bare body pressed against mine, to hear and see the different sounds you make. I want to know everything about you, Lyn…"
T—this… Uh...he's… Lyn didn't know what to say anymore. Why is this person like this? "Is it so hard to fall in love with me? Don't I treat you well enough?"
"You're very good to me," the words came out before she could think it through.
She found Rhys looking her up and down, "I know you like me. But that like isn't enough to beat Kazuya."
"Wait; what? What do you mean you know I like you?"
"Isn't it obvious?"
"What obvious!!"
"Then are you denying it?"
"Yes!"
Rhys wasn't happy about this and backed her against the wall again. It was the same as yesterday, and yet today there was no dark gaze hovering in his eyes. Lyn learned of his pain… his suffering, that's why… This seems slightly different. Rhys closed the remaining distance between them, and his lips were on hers in second. It felt strange to her, and nobody has treated her this way before.
"Rhys...unn."
Rhys lips curve to a smile, "You like it." That's definitely not it; she just wants to tell him this is weird. Before Lyn could say a word, she spotted Abeno at the doorway.
"Pardon me for disturbing…"

"Rumors float around saying you're acting in a promiscuous behavior towards men…" Abeno commented. After being caught in that state, Lyn was very embarrassed.
Lyn frantically shook her head, "Didn't you see there? I was about to be harassed.."
Rhys pressed his hand on his cheek, which was now swelling up. She didn't mean to pack a punch using magic. It just happened instinctively, more like a late reaction. He wasn't happy at all, but Lyn wasn't going to comfort him this time. "What did you speak to Allen about?"
"You."
Gah…. She could picture it now, these two having fun talking about her. "Junlan church is siding with the Sound Kingdom?"
"Do not get us, wrong Princess. We do not wish to see Queen Orthez downfall. Junlan church aims for peace, and what's best for the people."
"I know," Lyn nodded. "Even if my mother is a good ruler. Everything fell apart when she shouldered all of her first husband's crimes. If mother had fought against him, people would see her in a more favorable light now. But instead she chose to support him."
Mother had the foundations to become a ruler that is loved by the masses. But instead, she chose this painful path. Lyn couldn't understand what was going on in her mother's mind at all. If she could understand, would she be able to prevent herself from making the wrong decision?
