Princess Lyn: Fleeting Dreams

In the Sound Kingdom, people regard the person known as Rhys as a playboy . Those aren"t just rumors, they are right . Whether or not it"s married women, he would continue chasing after the women as long as they express their interest . But no matter how many women he chased after, he"s never met the one person he could give his heart too . Rhys was a helpless romantic; contrary to his looks he believed that one day he would meet that one special person . As corny and cheesy as that sounds, he genuinely thought that way . But the reason why he chased after women like flies has nothing to do with his hope to find somebody special .

For as long as Rhys could remember he never had a mother and yet one day when he was around ten years old . He was loitering around the bar areas and met someone who strangely resembled him . For the next few months, he kept on meeting that person and became strangely attached . Several men always surrounded this woman, but despite this Rhys recalled her treating one person as special .

When the woman disappeared one day, the man approached him and told him the truth . The woman was his mother, and though she didn"t realize it at first . When she did, she wanted to make amends but realized it was too late . Rhys didn"t know what to think of that story . All Rhys understood was that he would no longer see her anymore .

Maybe it was due to the trauma of the same woman - his own mother leaving him twice, but Rhys has never settled down in a relations.h.i.+p before . Unlike Kazuya, Rhys has been in many relations.h.i.+ps . He has experience with many women . But there are certain types of women he tends to avoid .

The second Princess Of The Mist Kingdom, Lyn fit the criteria of women he avoided .

When Kazuya changed the plan - Rhys was against it . He didn"t want to be left alone with the Princess at all . There"s a reason why Kazuya has become attached, and Rhys wanted to detach himself from that . It would be wrong if he became attached too . Contrary to what it seemed, Rhys was a smart guy . He can quickly tell a person"s personality . That"s why he didn"t want to be left alone with Princess Lyn . From a distance, and from hearing the girl"s background story . Rhys already knew she wasn"t a bad person .

But he wanted to continue with the mindset that all royals are corrupt . Only an hour or so has pa.s.sed since Kazuya left this one with him, but Rhys felt his heart swaying .

Lyn laughed, "Aha, the water is cold . "

The two of them were outside in the inner courtyard . Many of the guests were inside, that"s the reason why the Princess suggested they go out . A hidden existence, huh? When the Elders of the Sound Kingdom informed him of the girl"s existence . It surprised him but at the same time he thought, so there"s somebody else like him .

Rhys looked at the girl playing with the water with an uncomfortable expression on his face .

"What?"

Lyn looked at him, "Say, can I ask you a few questions?"

Rhys raised his eyebrows sensing her seriousness, "About?"

"Kazuya . "

Well, of course, she would ask . Rhys sighed, "Sadly I can"t give away too much personal information, it"s

"Um, it"s just a simple one," The Princess demeanor changed and he watched as she played with the hem of her skirt . A nervous look on her face, "Is he used to girls?"

Huh? Rhys stared at her dumbfounded for a few minutes and watched as her cheeks turned red .

"That is um; he"s good at kissing and saying sweet words . My aide tells me that"s a sign for a dangerous guy," Lyn trailed off as she looked away .

Kiss?

Kazuya didn"t mention that . The two have gotten that far already? No from the looks of things, nothing romantic has happened . But, she"s asking this because she"s interested right? He should exploit this chance, Rhys shook his head . He can"t rush things; he ought to watch over the situation carefully and then guide them if need be .

A deep sigh escaped his lips as he ran his hand through his hair; he"s not good at things like this . Usually, he is the one doing the seducing .

Noticing the Princess expression still on his, Rhys said, "Kazuya has zero experience with girls . Rather, he doesn"t hang out with them at all back home," Rhys trailed off recalling something . Whenever Rhys invited Kazuya out to a gathering and tricked him, Kazuya would disappear before the night has started . Rhys could guess why he avoids women like the plague . But that"s a story Kazuya can tell the Princess .

The expression on the Princess face turns bright, and for a split second Rhys is mesmerized by that look on her face . Only for a second, he catches a glimpse of the girl"s leg . There was blood trickling down . He frowned, "Did you sc.r.a.pe your leg on the rock before I caught you?"

"Eh?"

"Look down . "

Lyn looked down at her legs and exclaimed loudly, "Wah? Did I get hurt? Eh? But I didn"t notice the pain," she looked at the injury with confusion in her eyes .

She didn"t notice? With an injury that large? Rhys sighed deeply, "Do you know healing magic or something?"

Lyn paused and then shook her head .

That pause just now, does that mean she has it? Rhys said it casually, but even he understood that the existence of healing magic is unheard of . This woman doesn"t know that information . However, Rhys thought if he brought it up, she would slip up unknowingly . But it seems like they at least trained her regarding this matter .

This one is intriguing; how much does this woman know? How much of a mask is she wearing? Rhys can a.s.sess that Princess Lyn is a good person . But this one isn"t completely as clueless as they all think . It"s better to keep his guard around her, "Sit down . "

"Eh?" Lyn said puzzled .

"I"ll administer first aid . You don"t know how to right?"

Lyn slowly nodded, she seemed surprised before light laughter escaped her lips, "Thank you, your very kind . "

Kind? He only offered and how can she say for sure that he isn"t going to poison her? Rhys sighed again, don"t think about it too deeply .

. . . . .

On his way there, Rhys caught a glimpse of the Princess still in the same spot . Perched on the fountain, but unlike before she was singing happily . Rhys stood and watched for a moment; she was no expert singer . But her voice was pleasant to listen to, and there was something soothing about it . An unusual person, one would think with her isolated lifestyle, it wouldn"t be possible for her to smile . Yet here she is smiling happily every day and even singing .

He needs to stop thinking in such depth regarding her actions; that"s how people become attached . Rhys walked down the hallway and stepped out into the steps leading to outside .

Lyn beamed happily as she greeted him, "Ah, welcome back!"

"Yeah," Rhys nodded . He was never much of a talker, at least when he"s on the job . Whenever Rhys spoke to girls too, he would say empty words of flattery before getting into bed with them . This Princess is the first one who he hasn"t done anything with despite it being two hours since he was last left alone with her .

Maybe he does feel some form of attachment to her . After all, initially he was the one who was meant to seduce her .In the Sound Kingdom, people regard the person known as Rhys as a playboy .
