章節 85: Unexpected Confession

Lyn froze when she heard his words. For a split moment, it felt like the world around her had stopped. She felt her mind go blank as she stared at Rhys; he wore such a serious gaze on his face. The usually jokey face or sly smirk was not there, and she felt her whole face turn red. Even if she is dating Kazuya, hearing somebody she is supposedly close with makes her feel incredibly nervous.

'He can't be serious,' Lyn thought. This is Rhys after all, Rhys who treats all women regardless of who they are is saying these words to her.

"W—what do you mean I like?"

"Exactly what it sounds."

What it sounds? But to her, it sounds like he is declaring his feelings of love for her. B—but that can't be possible. For Rhys of all people to 'love' her that way. It sounds wrong.

"I know..you like joking Rhys, but these type of jokes are bad for my heart."

He gently cupped her cheeks, "I'm not joking with you, Princess."

Isn't he? Lyn immediately panicked when he drew her closer so their lips were touching.

"Rhys, wait, wait," Lyn exclaimed.

Rhys paused, "What?"

"Um, one I'm dating Kazuya and two if you like me you wouldn't pressure me like this," she trailed off. Lyn was still in disbelief with all of this.

"Pressure, eh?" Rhys looked at her and Lyn had to avert her gaze, "Tell me something Princess Lyn, did Kazuya tell you about the mission?"

"Seduce me, right?"

Rhys nodded, "Anything else?"

"Will Kazuya get in trouble?" If Kazuya is going to get in trouble, she will keep her mouth shut.

"You'll keep quiet if he does, huh? Well, I have some conditions,"

"I won't say."

"Just you admitting that is enough for me to understand that the idiot told you everything. What should I do hmm, let the Elders hear of it?"

"Rhys, don't," she murmured. He wouldn't right? Even if Rhys is acting this way now, Lyn knew after spending all this time with him how much of a kind person he is, "Rhy-" Lyn paused in mid-sentence when she saw the look in his face. Ah, he really must be serious this time. Of course, it's only natural.

Before she could get a word in edge wise his lips were on hers. The kiss was bitter sweet, and made her whole head turn fuzzy. "Nnngh,"

When he finally pulled away, a few minutes later. Rhys smirked, "Well, I guess I'll keep it a secret. Thanks."

Lyn didn't know what to say. So she kept her head down, Rhys, however, reached over and pulled her into his arms, "So, this is how it feels to hug you. I guess I can see why Kazuya would get addicted to this. Your body is so soft."

"L--let me go, please," Lyn tried to remove herself from his hold. But she could not do so since he is stronger than her.

"Don't struggle so much; you'll find it is futile to do so," Why is he doing this? Lyn regretted coming here, why did she naively come, without telling Kazuya as well, "Don't be afraid, do you think I'd hurt you?" Lyn didn't realize how badly she was trembling until he said that.

"But, Rhys I..."

"Sssh," he whispered, "You know I really won't hurt you, I just wanted to let you now. Since the journey started, I've seen you and Kazuya get closer."

"..."

So, he is serious. But how is she supposed to answer him? When she is still new to this love thing? She isn't as naive as people think. However, Lyn knew that the two of them getting close like this could easily be misunderstood. What if Kazuya walked in here? She doesn't want to be hated by him. Still, she felt Rhys hold on her tighten, and he brushed his lips against her hair. Maybe, he is worried about something? Kazuya always said that she's good at listening to peoples problems.

But this is Rhys; this guy is always so laid back. It's hard to tell what he is thinking, "Say, Rhys, will you let go of me soon? I'll listen to whatever is bothering you so,"

"Something bothering me, huh? Hmm, I guess there is, and yeah I'll let you go."

"You said yes, yes, but you're not even listening!" she exclaimed. Rhys arms seemed to tighten around her, "Rhys, you're messing with me."

"I would never," he brushes his fingers against the girl's ears trailing down to her neck. Lyn felt her heart beat grow rapid. This is bad; she hasn't even been this close with Kazuya before. She can feel his breath too, he's way too close to her, "Lyn," he murmured, "Will you answer my question? What exactly is our relationship?"

Ah, he wants an answer to that, after all, "You didn't mind it when I didn't answer before."

Rhys sighed, "That's true. But how should I put it? I feel like I'm feeling a bit stressed."

"Stress?"

"About what to do with you," Rhys nodded, "Can't figure out what to do with you at all."

Why is he acting so calm about everything? Lyn sighed, "You don't have to do anything other than letting me go right now," she wants to avoid talking about their relationship. Right now, Lyn knew she wouldn't be able to answer him. Thinking about Kazuya and their new couple status, and her dreams alongside getting stronger took most of her time. Lyn knew she had plenty of things to worry about.

"Isn't that being too harsh on me? I genuinely like you, Lyn,"

"Please stop making me speechless."

Rhys laughed, "You do make it easy."
