Year 4014- Rhys Quarters- When Lyn opened her eyes, she glanced at her surroundings ....she was in a room. "Unnngh," Lyn rubbed her eyes and looked around. She was in a room that was not her own.
Not just any room too. The huge spiral staircase by the brown curtains, leading to downstairs. Her floor was wood, but a beautiful shade of gold. The sofa at the side was velvet brown, with creamy white shaped cus.h.i.+ons. The persons closest was huge, with a small mirror attached inside. Once you opened it, it"s like stepping into another room. Hidden underneath all those boxes were probably their most prized possessions — a ma.s.sive board in the center of the room, which could be closed up.
In the center was a table in front of the sofa and creamy colored carpets. The bed she laid in was placed in the corner of the room, by the enormous windows. Which was black and had bright brown cus.h.i.+ons? A desk and medium-sized bookshelf beside the bed. Beside the bed, a small bedside table with a lamp. Rhys room... right?
Unlike Kazuya"s plain and simple room, Lyn discovered that Rhys place was larger. So, that means they treat Rhys better? How come? Forget it. She probably ought to leave. She doesn"t understand what is going on right now, but she ought to leave quickly.
As she thought to leave, though, her hand knocks on something. Ah, did it break? Lyn bends down and sighs a breath of relief, seeing it in tac. What is this? The covers blank. What about the back? Lyns flicked it around; her eyes go wide. " Dearest Lyn."
Is this...
She doesn"t understand anymore.
Allen, the reason why she could not accept him, is because she is weak. But, compared to the sheer loneliness of losing everything important, losing those you learned to love.
The current situation where things are slowly falling apart is a lot better. The reason she is fragile is not because of him. Just as Lyn was about to leave properly though, the doors opened revealing Rhys. "You"re up." Lyn does not reply, and he made his way over.
"Yesterday," Rhys mumbled. "I"m sorry."
Oh, is that it? Yesterday she was so afraid and yet...
"I"m leaving," Lyn said and stood up. The moment she did though she felt a wincing pain appear in her body. Lyn froze, what"s wrong with her? Rhys sat down on the bed and made her lie down before he climbed on top of her, his lips on hers.
"Rhys….stop…"
"Lyn," he mumbled against her lips. "You"ll be okay. I"ll be here."
Is this why he apologized? Because she collapsed? How stupid. But, indeed the dark look she saw yesterday felt like a dream to her.
"Am I a cold person?"
"You"re not."
"Don"t lie. You"re fed up with me already aren"t you? Especially as of late, I don"t know why I"m relying on you so much, anyway. I"m sure you"re thinking " eh I thought I was finished dealing with this girl already."" Lyn shouted.
"I don"t think that."
"Then why aren"t you looking me in the eyes? You, you don"t look at my eyes anymore. Not since that day." Both of them knew even without her saying a word what day she meant.
Rhys reached over and pulled her into his arms, " I"m looking. I"m sorry. Just rest, you are tired already. Your body"s already breaking down."
"Rhys, yesterday."
His lips brushed against hers again, "Ssh, forget it. Don"t say anymore, Lyn, you"ll be fine."
But will she? Unlike before his words don"t rea.s.sure her.
….
When Lyn woke up again, Rhys was nowhere in sight, but she hears familiar voices at the door. What time, her gaze fell on the window. It"s noon already?Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
"I get it, I get. Let me see Lyn already."
Pupillam sighed, "Very well, but if she"s sleeping, we leave right sway."
Should she pretend to sleep? But, she wants to see Kazuya. Lyn recalled what Rhys did to her earlier and immediately reached out for the cup of water on the table. How many times does this make it already? She is so stupid. Drinking water won"t help. The trace and sensation of his lips and warmth still linger. She needs Kazuya.
Lyn didn"t wait for them to open the door; she left the bed despite feeling bad. Lyn used the walls to steady her balance, but as one would expect, it was difficult. So, when Kazuya and Pupillam came inside, she was on the ground.
The person who picked her up, however, wasn"t Kazuya but Rhys. It seemed like he was there too. "What are you doing?"
"Oh….I...um Kazuya," Lyn answered dumbly.
Rhys sighed, "He"s right here; you could have waited."
"Hey quit scolding her, she"s already sick enough."
"Yeah, yeah," Rhys walked her back over to the bed and Lyn peered over at Kazuya"s face. Is he mad? Or maybe...he"s sick and tired of her too? She is such a troublesome person to deal with.
Rhys carefully laid her down on the bed and adjusted the pillows and blankets.
Lyn extended her hands out but drew them back. She shouldn"t do anything stupid. Kazuya who had patiently been waiting finally spoke up. "Lyn, are you alright?"
It was the first time she got a proper look at him since last night. He seemed worn out."Pupillam bullied you?" It wasn"t a question; she was merely stating the facts.
"Wh—wh! I did no such thing."
Kazuya sobbed, "Right, she is such a bully. Giving me all her work."
"You!!"
Lyn laughed; these two are funny. Kazuya"s arms wrapped around her, "Anyhow, your demon aide kept me away from you. Sorry, Lyn, I wanted to come sooner. Are you okay, did you miss me?"
"I missed you, I wanted to see you---" Lyn immediately realized something. "Wait, Kazuya, why are you here? What about your work in the next town?"
Weren"t they supposed to departure in the morning? It"s already afternoon; she didn"t think he would still be here. "I gave the job to your eldest brother."
"Eh, uh?" she looked at him puzzled.
"Your brother wants to know what is going on in that territory. But he didn"t have the jurisdiction to go, however now he does."
"I see…"
Why would Kazuya do that? When she spoke to him the other day, he looked so serious talking about his dream. Did he give it up for her sake?
"He did something stupid, so I a.s.signed him work to do. He couldn"t possibly take care of you all morning, Princess, he would disturb your rest," Pupillam explained.
But Rhys took care of her, right?
Her thoughts broke off when Kazuya brushed his forehead against hers. "You still seem a bit hot. Rhys, get her some medicine."
"She has to eat first."
"I got that covered; they should bring the food soon."
Did Kazuya cook for her again? Lyn looked over at Kazuya who beamed. "I cooked for you."
"I"m really hungry."
Kazuya laughed, "I know, you"ll get your food soon."
Lyn didn"t realize how hungry she was until Kazuya said it. All morning Rhys didn"t give her food, then again the food was probably the last thing on his mind since she was crying and having a breakdown. Now that she thought about it, "That was embarra.s.sing." Why did she lash out at him like that? It"s true what happened last night upset her. But she ought to refrain from taking things too far. Rhys isn"t her boyfriend, so she should maintain a degree of distance between them.
