*UNEDITED*Lyn spun around, and looked behind her but she could not see anybody. Was it just her imagination? For a split moment Lyn thought it was Silver, he always followed her around. But, then again, he did say he would be busy for awhile. Still that has never stopped him from knowing everything. Lyn did not bother thinking about this anymore. Her entire body ached all over, a burning sensation appeared on her throat. Her lungs felt like they were on fire, and she couldn"t bare the sensation.
Kazuya"s hand brushed against her neck, "Can you speak?"
Why is he asking her something like that for? Of course she could speak, she was just speaking to him moments ago. Lyn opened her mouth, but to her surprise she could not speak. Ah, what? What"s wrong with her?
....
Mist Kingdom Main Castle
It was dawn the next day when they arrived at the main castle. Lyn was relieved that it was quiet. She never entered through the main gate before, so it felt very strange to her. Kazuya however lead her in like it was the most natural thing in the world.
Rhys was not very happy with her. While Kazuya sent a message ahead of time. He most-likely did not expect things to end up this way. For the past few minutes n.o.body spoke, the air was quite tense. Lyn kept her head down, she didn"t look him in the eye but she knew how angry he was.
She reached over and rugged on the corner of Kazuya"s leave, causing Rhys to sigh. "I know you can"t speak, but you"re pus.h.i.+ng your luck aren"t you?"
Her eyes twitched in annoyance. She knew the meaning behind his words. Why is he acting like he owns her! What pus.h.i.+ng her luck, nonsense. If he didn"t act so scary all the time, she wouldn"t have to cling to Kazuya this way.
Kazuya squeezed her hands, and gave her a rea.s.suring look. Kazuya didn"t have to say anything to her, his actions naturally made her feel at ease.
"It"s okay, Kazuya is here." Since Kazuya I"d here, she does not have to worry about Rhys doing anything strange. Or Rhys lecturing her and scaring her. She isn"t afraid of him when he shouts but, Lyn hates it whenever he yells. Lyn hates seeing the pained look on his face.
She walked over and took the seat opposite Rhys. Yet he shook his head and pointed to the seat beside him. Instead of moving right away, Lyn looked at him cautiously. Uh, isn"t that dangerous? Just the other day he said such strange things. No, it"s fine. Kazuya is in the room. "That"s never stopped him before." Lyn can"t forget how he sneaks kisses whenever Kazuya has his back turned. She shook her head, "right now he is in doctor mode." When Rhys is like this, he"s normally serious. He won"t do anything to her.
...
It was all fine and good until Kazuya left the room. When Rhys suggested they go to the bed, she knew something was wrong. However, because of whatever magic Rhys used. She could use her voice again, even though it sounded a bit strange.l
Rhys sat down on the bed and pulled a stool from the side, he sighs when he saw her expression. " I"m..really not going to do anything you know?"
"....the chair doesn"t have to be so close then," Lyn muttered.
"That"s difficult for me. How am I supposed to check up on your condition if I can"t go near you? Kazuya told me that you have been looking paler." Wait what? Is that why Kazuya brought her here? So it isn"t because of the voice thing.
Rhys knew and that"s why he was staring at her intently earlier. That guy really should have just said something to her. At that comment Lyn made her way over and sat down on the chair.
"So if its Kazuya who asks you"ll agree huh."
Lyn blinked at his words, why does he sound so bitter? He isn"t acting stupidly jealous again is he? His voice is so cold...
She didn"t ask and for the next few minutes simply kept observing him. This person is very strange after all, why does he continue remaining by her side despite everything?
Rhys checked her blood pressure, and then he suddenly sighs.
"So it has to be that way after all."
Eh? Lyn was so focused on staring at him that she didn"t notice - how troubled Rhys loomed.
"Now then. Strip."
She blinks for a few seconds before she registered what he just said so boldly. Her eyes twitches in annoyance, "What are you talking about?" Lyn exclaimed. She saw his unchanged expression, "Oh of course that"s what you want."
This guy isn"t a decent man at all. To think he was acting all grand before. Something about not touching her because she was underage, but look what he is saying now.
"What"s wrong? hurry up," Rhys said impatiently.
Is he serious? Why is he acting all annoyed for? Besides what kind of person asking someone to strip? She isn"t one of those girls in the red light district! Why would she randomly start taking her clothes of? Like she could do that. It"s true she is a Princess in name, but he should at least respect her right? Then again, this guy doesn"t know anything about respecting females. Look how badly he treats Beth.
"No way!" Lyn exclaimed.
Geez. Just when she thought with him going to Tokyo he actually regained some decency. It seems like that"s not the case.
"Oh? Then should I strip you instead?"
At that comment Lyn got ready to bolt out the door and yet he had already scooped her in to his arms tugged on her clothes. Lyn no longer had to hold back since Rhys knew the truth about her strength. But even then she couldn"t break free from his hold at all.
