A deep sigh pa.s.sed his lips, it would be troublesome if she kept prying this much. There is a reason why Lyn forgot him and even Kazuya. He only heard about their first meeting not too long ago, but from the details. It does seem like they"ve known each other for a long time.

…..

Prince Allen"s Chambers

"Princess Lyn, can"t you just stay in your room and rest?" Rhys couldn"t believe she was missing when he returned to the room. Thankfully he found her.

Lyn pouted, "That room has no books, I"m bored."

"So you"re invading your fiances chambers? Please think for a moment, your still a Princess!" Rhys couldn"t believe he even had to tell her this. She should know this better than anybody, and yet she acts this way.

"Allen said it was okay for me to come here, so isn"t it fine?"

His eyes twitched in annoyance. What"s with that strange trust between them, how irritating. Rhys sighed, "Hurry up and get some books. This place makes me sick." This entire placed screamed "n.o.ble." While he was of n.o.ble blood, it didn"t change the fact that he was raised as a commoner. Because of that, people usually have mixed reactions when they see him. They don"t know how to treat him.

"Rhys?" Lyn looked over at him.

"I think I"m coming down with a cold." It wasn"t an exact lie. But normally if he is sick, he would just use other methods to get rid of it.

Lyn came down the ladder and brushed her hand on his forehead. "You do seem feverish," she removed her hand and brushed their foreheads together. "Maybe you should lay down."

"Isn"t this great, were both sick. Telepathy."

"Idiot, don"t joke around. Let"s just go back to the room."

Go back? If they return, there is a high chance they won"t get any alone time. Thinking about it that way, perhaps it would be better if they just stayed here. It doesn"t look like the fiance will return anytime soon. "There is no need to go back," he grabbed her wrist and in seconds they both fell on the ground.

"Wh-! Rhys, wait.. "

But Rhys simply buried his face in her chest, "You know Lyn, I really am serious about you. What am I going to do? Do I really not stand a chance with you?"

"I need a King Rhys, just in case," she mumbled. "Do you want that? To have your freedom restricted, to have people watching you twenty four seven."

"It does sound like a pain."

"So…"

"But, I can make adjustments for you," Rhys mumbled.

"You"re too hopeless," Lyn deeply sighed. "Tell me something Rhys, you...don"t like Beth?"

"Did she say something to bother you?"

Lyn shook her head. "She didn"t, in fact she never does. Sometimes I wish she would."

"You don"t have to mind her."

"Rhys, you can"t be cruel to Beth just because you like me.."

"Enough about Beth, we can do more fun things since we are here together."

Rhys initially planned to just lay down with her like this. But, now that he has her like this. Why would he let her go?

All he can do is kiss her like this. If he does anything else she would get angry. Well, she"s already getting mad with her kicking and hitting his chest. But, this feels nice. 

His thoughts broke off when he felt ice cold water drench his skin, he glared and looked over at the culprit. The girls fiance, Prince Allen.

"-Allen?"

"No," Lyn shyly looked down, "I um…"

Rhys pulled her into his arms, "You got Lyn wet too you know? Was it worth it?" The reason he hugged her was not to spite Allen. Because of the water, the girls clothes were drenched. 

"Go into the bath first, I"ll speak with this man."

...…..

The talk with Prince Allen was surprisingly short, then again Lyn didn"t take long in the bath. Considering how she was looking at him when she left and sighing in relief, Rhys immediately understood. She must be worried about him. Rhys made his way to the bath. The knowledge that Lyn just used it made him freeze for a second, he shook his head. Don"t think about it too much. He immediately stepped into the large bath tub.

The moment he did, Rhys immediately smelled something sweet. "d.a.m.n," Rhys knew what it was of course. Lyn"s scent. He should have waited for a while instead of immediately stepping inside. But he didn"t want to see Prince Allen and Lyn interact. It was painful for him to watch Lyn and Kazuya. But, it"s different since Kazuya is his best friend.

Rhys thought that now that he was alone, he could start thinking about more serious things. But as expected, he could not do that. The girls scent was everywhere, and the more he tried not to think about it - the more he did.

Realizing that staying in the water was only making him think more about Lyn. Rhys quickly rinsed and washed himself of. 

When Rhys returned to the room, he was surprised to find Lyn alone on the bed.

"Allen had work to do, so he left."

Rhys blinked, "just like that?" He walked over to the girl on the bed and cupped her cheeks. Why are her lips so kissable? He"s kissed so many women over the last few years. Why is this young girl different? 

"Can you let me go please?"

"You know, you need to work on your defences better."

"I—I can defend myself just fine!" Lyn exclaimed. 

He looked at her with a questioning look. Can she really? Rhys brushed his lips against the girls and Lyn panicked. He sighed and let go, "Reiji triggered your condition right? What did you do?"

"No," Lyn shook her head. "Somebody attacked me, and Reiji got angry. But my condition was already triggered." 

He was only testing her but it seemed

"There"s a kitchen here, do you want to do some cooking?"

Her eyes brightened at his words. Whenever she acts this way, he can"t help but think that she really is like a child. 

"If you get tired, tell me." Rhys reached over and brushed his hand on her forehead. "You still have a fever, so were going to make something simple."

"Okay Rhys, I understand."

He leads Lyn into the kitchen area. "How surprising," Rhys thought as he looked at the place. There are actually cooking tools here, his gaze landed on Lyn who was already taking a few things out. Could it be, the Prince was preparing for Lyn to come here and cook? That thought bothered him greatly. Still, he supposes there was nothing he could actually do about it for now anyway.

"So uh, I"ve been thinking lately that I ought to thank you Rhys."

"Thank me?" he repeated as he reached out for the knife. 

"Yes, you"ve um been very kind to me."

"Because I love you."

"R-- Right, so uhhh, I"m saying that, you"ve done very well, Rhys!"

She"s...

"Your very confident, I think I do like that," Lyn paused, she extended her hand out and patted her head. Normally Rhys would have been extremely happy at such close contact. Though he"s always felt conflicted whenever she does. Rhys could never tell if Lyn was treating him like a kid or not.

Before Rhys could open his mouth, Lyn turned her back from him. Which meant one thing, for now this conversation is over. Rhys turned to what he was cutting earlier but looked over at Lyn. He really doesn"t understand their present relations.h.i.+p, it feels like they keep going back and forth. Just when he thinks things are progressing, it turns out nothing has changed at all.
