Lyn could see it clearly. The beauty they saw, almost as if it was something she could reach. Almost as if it was something that she was allowed to reach out to. Almost as if everything could be..."It"s about love. Even if it was a love that couldn"t blossom."
As she lets those words escape her lips, Rhys grabbed hold of her hand. She tried to pull away, yet his grip was firm.
"Seems madam nay it is. It seems thy know," Rhys whispered. Yet another quote from a famous western writer. Whenever Rhys says it, Lyn felt herself getting nervous by the minute. Why is this man able to tell things about her?
Her eyes widened when she what Rhys was getting at, realizing the mistake she had just said a few minutes ago. " That"s not...what I meant. It"s just ....I don"t know how to deal with this...."
She didn"t know.
Of course, she didn"t know.
When she saw him again, just out the blue.
Suddenly seeing that one person, she thought she would never see anymore. Why?
Rhys sees her discomfort and let"s go of her hand; his own hand made its way on to the top of her hair as he patted her head. " Sorry, I wasn"t trying to pressure you or anything like that. I mean, even for me... it"s difficult since its been a long time. I have a lot to say to you, but after what happened I"m not sure myself how to go about it. I guess what I just did wasn"t helpful."
Ah, this hand, that expression, like before. Rhys looks troubled and confused.
Despite what it looked like to everyone. Rhys was a clumsy guy. He was always rather sensitive to most things said, and he didn"t know how to react when he does something wrong accidentally. Even now, it seems like that factor still hasn"t changed.
Its true she didn"t quite understand why he kissed her. But for now, she supposed she could brush it off.
"Um...me too. Sorry."
Rhys smiles at her, and Lila smiled back. Something like this though it really is only a temporary measure. After all, the two of them still have a lot to talk about, they haven"t gotten to the main point, and right now this may only be temporarily niceness because of the situation they are in. However, for now, that"s fine, even if this does end up becoming false kindness.
....
Even so, how are they going to get out of here? Clearly, Rhys read her thoughts since he taps the wall, " Seems like another 15 minutes are remaining."
She looks up. "Your able to tell?"
"Yeah. I see these kinds of traps all the time. Kazuya is always telling me though that we should just break the wall down instead of waiting," Rhys laughs, " He"s a pretty amusing guy despite his good looks he does ridiculous things at times."
Huh? Somehow the aura around Rhys seems different. He looks a lot happier as in genuinely happy. So, Rhys is fond of Kazuya after all. Well, they are friends, she should have expected this reaction.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.
"You"ve gotten to know him well though, did he tell you?"
"Ah, no I learned from the soldiers," Lyn admitted. Kazuya had a bad habit of hiding things from her.
"Huh? Yet you got that much information from it in detail? It was only a short article."
Yeah but her a.n.a.lytical skills aside, she"s always been good at judging people. He"s probably forgotten that though. Rhys seems to quickly change the subject though, " Shall we sit down? Standing around won"t do us any good."
"Yes."
Lyn sat down next to him, ensuring that there was a distance. Well...even though she knows that there"s no way he would do anything to her. She had to admit she was still afraid.
Lyn turned to him slightly and saw that he had brought out the book again and was reading through it intentively. He is quite serious, huh? Come to think of it the place Rhys is going to....focuses on many different courses, huh? Even though he"s a prominent military figure, he"s still going through regular education. Somehow it was strange. Yet to most people its clearly normal.
Even so that serious look of his, whenever he looks down especially, it always seems to bring out his best features. Gah! What the heck was she doing watching him in that sense? Snap out of it.
It can"t be helped, though. She is quite fond of him, so this nervousness and pounding heart is only because of that nostalgic feeling. It has no other meaning than that.
.....
Time that is so precious. Sometimes it goes by far too fast, and sometimes there isn"t enough time. The time she spent with Kazuya were definitely the best. Kazuya saw something about her that people often overlooked before.
Lyn fixed her mistakes; she no longer made the same mistakes that she did in the past.
Treasure time you spend with that important person because you never know, when it will be taken away from you. Two people who, if you asked them when they first met, insisted they were going to fall in love with each other would not have believed you. Fall in love? A girl like her? A guy like him?
But for some reasons untold, fate had a way of breaking through that so-called unbreakable thread - and changed it into a thread of fate.
"Finally finished," Lyn murmured as the last person landed on the ground with a thud. The entire area was covered in dead bodies and severely wounded ones. A heavy strength of blood. Those people who are still alive won"t live for long. Whenever she took a life, she would end up feeling bad. Today was no exception.
Lyn could barely stand up. She had to use her blade for support, "Her vision is getting blurrier by the minute. Is Rhys finished too?" Lyn told Rhys to leave her alone earlier because she understood who they were after.
It must be because of this birthmark. Since that encounter with one of her sister"s men, the mark has been acting up whenever she uses magic of any kind. Her thoughts broke off when she hears approaching footsteps, despite her dazed state she could spot maroon colored hair.
"Kazuya?"
A gentle voice, "Yeah. Good work, my Lyn."
It"s Kazuya, thank goodness. The blade in her hands deactivates, and in a second she falls only to have Kazuya scoop her up. "You"re so careless; I need to lecture you."
"Ah-huh."
How strange, even though her entire body feels like it would fall apart - now that she is with Kazuya, she feels a bit better. But she feels so drained; Lyn wanted to stay awake. She wanted to see if Rhys was okay. However, right now, she couldn"t control her eyelids from dropping.
