Princess Lyn: Fleeting Dreams

Lyn stepped into the bathtub in a daze. Brother is acting a bit strange, is it just her? She eyed the water filled with bubbles and roses. "A rose bath," she"s never had one before. But the aroma was undoubtedly wonderful. What"s more, this bathroom, it"s really impressive. She"s never seen anything so beautiful before.

She wonders what brother has been up to this entire time. Judging from the state of affairs here, it should be obvious what he has been up to. To build something like this from scratch. He must have used a lot of underhanded means; she is no longer the same person she once was. So, Lyn was not going to criticize him too much. Both of them have changed

After soaking in the bath for a few minutes, Lyn realized something amiss.

"Brother?" Lyn called out.

"Hm?"

"Um, I"m done. Could I have some clothes and a towel?" She just came inside here without thinking.

At that moment, she sees the door creek slightly, and there stood Zepher. But he kept s.h.i.+fting his gaze.

"Uh…" Lyn stared awkwardly at the door.

"Hurry up and take it quickly," Zepher averted his gaze. Lyn nodded and strolled over and took the items from his hands. Zepher quickly closed the door behind him, leaving her stunned and confused. What"s wrong with him?

__

d.a.m.n, this is so bad.

He just got a glimpse of her skin. What is it with this situation? He was indeed going to bring her here anyway. But maybe he ought to have thought this through when he sent that letter. He was in a bad situation, he panicked. What if something happened to him before he saw her again?

"Brother, I"m finished."

She still calls him "brother." too. The two of them aren"t related, but Zepher supposes it"s hard for her to get out of the habit.

"Sit here."

"Okay," Lyn happily made her way over. "Brother, brother, will you tell me some stories?"

"Your sixteen, but you still act like a child."

Lyn puffed her cheeks up in annoyance, "Why can"t I? Brother Zepher, I haven"t seen you in so long.. Why can"t I ask you to spoil me?"

Zepher chuckled, "Alright, alright. What do you want to know?"

"This scar," Lyn pointed to his eye. "When did you get it?"

"You...you betrayed.."

"Wait, Andrew, listen to.."

"Brother Zepher?" Lyn called out.

"It"s nothing. I got it from a skirmish."

"Be careful," she looked down. "I"ve been very worried about you. n.o.body told me anything. So I decided to stay put and wait."

"Do you still believe in me?"

"Of course, I do! You"re my brother."

"I"m not, though, remember? I"m not your brother Lyn."

"Oh," Lyn mumbled. "Right, um. "

Zepher buried his face in her neck, "When will you see me as man," he whispered so quietly. Ever since he learned they weren"t siblings, he was so happy.

"Zepher?" Lyn said, puzzled. "Are you alright? Do you feel sick?"

"No, it"s nothing. Just stay put."

"Big brother, Zepher, say…"

"The brother thing again, why are you so hung up on that? We haven"t seen each other in such a long time."

Lyn paused and nodded. "But I"ve always treated you as my brother, even if you ask me to change my mind. It is difficult to do so."

"Indeed, then maybe I should tell you straight. You should treat me as a man."

"Uh?"

Zepher sighed, "Why is she still so clumsy even now?" He gently caressed her hair. "Your hair is still wet, wait I"ll grab a towel." He moved away from her reluctantly and made his way to the cabinets. He found a clean towel and walked back over.

Lyn wasn"t on the couch anymore; she was looking out on the balcony. "Brother, this place is lovely. How long have you been living here?"

"Do you like it here?"

"Yes! It"s beautiful, it"s peaceful too."

Zepher smiled. "Perfect." He made this place with her in mind, so he"s glad that she likes it. Despite the small moments he had with her in the past, he learned a lot about the girl that was supposed to be his sister.

"Say, Lyn, do you...what"s your relations.h.i.+p with that guy called Rhys?"

He didn"t want to ruin the atmosphere, but this question has been bothering him since the previous day.

At that comment, he watched as his sister"s face turns scarlet red. "Relations.h.i.+p...what relations.h.i.+p were just...uhh.."

"....."

That guy was acting so arrogant. Zepher understands why now. He can"t tell whether Lyn likes the guy or not.

But they aren"t just regular friends. How irritating, how many men have gotten close to Lyn? Zepher thought with how protective Andrew was; no random guys would be able to approach her.

Lyn looked at him worriedly. "Brother? What"s wrong?"

"Zepher," he mumbled against her ear.

"Okay, Zepher, what"s wrong?"

"You"re warm."

"Um…" Lyn looked very puzzled, but Zepher knew he couldn"t tell her just yet. Instead, he continued to hug her tightly. For now, this is fine.

...…

Meeting Room

What is he going to do with Lyn? Can she really stay here with them? These people are loyal to him, yes. But if they find out Lyn is a Princess...

"Zepher!" a cheerful voice called out. "This book, I have some que-" Lyn paused in mid-sentence. "Oh, I"m sorry. You"re in a meeting."

"Lyn, it"s fine. Come over here."

Her gaze brightened, and she walked over to where he was sat. Lyn positioned herself on the seat beside him. But he pulled her onto his lap, "Zepher?"

"Show me."

"Oh, you see over here…"

"That part," Zepher gets caught up in explaining. More like he was focused on her, she listened intently to everything he said. Eventually, one of the others in the room bravely spoke up.

"Sir, the meeting uh--"

"It"s canceled. You can all go home."

Zepher ignored the dissatisfied looks on their faces; he turned to the girl who was studying intently.

"Your interested in this stuff?"

Lyn nodded. "But the books at home are all censored. Ah, but Rhys showed me some things before, so I wanted to read more on it."

"Rhys again." She must have spent a lot of time with him. Zepher placed light kisses on her neck and caressed her legs. Maybe this was a bit too sudden for her since Lyn flinched.

"Brother, why do you keep uh.."

"You don"t like it?" Zepher asked.

"Well," Lyn looked away. "I don"t know whether I should say this. But brother, I have a boyfriend now. If you don"t treat me like your sister, you.."Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

She has a what now?

"Brother?"

"Boyfriend…?" he mumbled. Is it that Rhys guy? No, he wouldn"t have handed her over otherwise.

"...brother?"

"I see," Zepher moved away from her. So she has a boyfriend. Right, she"s at the age to have one. But, even then, what is this feeling? He feels so frustrated.

To his surprise, Lyn suddenly hugged him from the back. "I don"t know what"s wrong, brother, but I"m here now."

Stupid girl, she is the reason for him being like this. Zepher extended his hand out and took a strand of her hair and brought it to his lips. Lyn looked at him, puzzled, "Um, brother? Do you really…"
