Brothers? Is he talking about the other two Knights? So that"s why they all have a similar vibe despite having a small resemblance to each other. More importantly, Lyn frowned at his words, "What do you mean by brutal?"

"Then again, the guy beside him was equally bad too. Your hanging around such dangerous men, I don"t understand why you find us scary."

"The guy beside," at that comment Lyn raised her hand and the next thing she knew she had slapped him. A bright red color appeared on Reiji"s cheeks. The man, however, seemed half amused, "You slapped me. How daring."

This guy is dangerous, so the lazy atmosphere she felt around him before was a lie? No… That"s definitely a part of him. But he is no average guy. Her thoughts broke off when somebody burst into the room and rushed over.

"Rhys!"

Rhys threw his cloak around her head and sent a harsh glare towards Reiji, "What are you doing?"

"You didn"t recognize me at first. So, I thought to play a game with your new toy."

"b.a.s.t.a.r.d, don"t you dare touch her again."

"Take it easy; I"m not the one who you should be mad at. I"m only following the King"s orders."

"Tsk."

The King? That young boy asked Reiji to do this? It seems like she can"t treat that person as a child. No wonder Princess Eva looked like that. For her, those who still a.s.sociate with the King are her enemies. It seems like she got herself caught up in a very problematic affair. Lyn deeply sighed.

..

Blood. Soaking into the carpet, and the bedsheets, her skin and staining her lips that had become a scarlet. The room grew blurrier and blurrier as each minute pa.s.sed, drenched in scarlet, dripping down the corners of her eyes. Was it possible that so much blood could come from one human being?

The red was darkening, mixing with the shadows, with the darkness. It fell across her now, and made its way to the different areas of her body. It even mixed in with the black curse mark, the vines were now stained red. It was then when Lyn realized that she was not alone, that there was somebody else here. A man with a strong blood l.u.s.t.

When his hand reached for her, Lyn shrunk back. This couldn"t continue. Her body could not last any longer. If this man touched her in this state, she would surely die. This time, however, those fingers touched her cheek without a hint of menace. She turned her eyes to him then, questioning.

Is it over? Are you satisfied? Somebody was telling her those words mockingly. But Lyn could not see who it was.

Lyn woke up and immediately placed her hand on her head. Something red glinted out of the corner of her eye. Her lungs pumped desperately for air. The red on her finger was screaming at her: Traitor! She shut her eyes, and tried to block it out. She had betrayed him. She….

She did feel weak; she felt so weak. Like her powers had been trained thoroughly. More importantly, she felt sick, her throat - it felt dry. It felt dry, dry like there was something. She placed her hand to her chest. Why was it burning?

Yet...she really didn"t feel well. Her body still felt weak ....even right now as she stood up; she felt as though she would fall any second. The brunette leaned on the dresser for support, why did she stand up again? The door she had just been standing before opened in minutes.

Clearing his throat, s.h.i.+nji looked up at her. "Are you ok?" He asked, his gruff voice sounded aggravated.

But Lyn knew better. "I"m fine...I really should get back to work."

Rhys stepped into the room and saw her leaning desperately to keep her balance. He let out a ma.s.sive sigh and made his way over. He carefully scooped her up again, and his scent filled her sense of smell. "- stupid girl, you shouldn"t get up. It"s not like me to say this, but you look like a wreck. See?"

Indeed Lyn could see her reflection in the mirror. Her skin color had lost its natural glow & l.u.s.ter and was completely pale. Her arms looked more fragile and thin ...huh? When did she become this way?

Rhys carefully put her down; however, she wrapped her arms around his neck. "Stay with me...please stay with me."

"Alright."

Lyn wanted to ask Rhys where Kazuya was. But she could already guess. If he isn"t here after she collapsed, then he"s definitely picking a fight, like an idiot

…..

When she had woken up again, she had noticed that Rhys was no longer there, but she placed her hand on the seat. It"s still warm; he must have left only a few moments ago. Her gaze landed on the window area; a warm orange color filled the room. It"s already this late? How long has she been out for? However, unlike when she woke up earlier, she felt so much better than before. She felt better.

Her thoughts broke off when Lyn saw pale ginger hair, "Ah," Lyn recalled the moment she pa.s.sed out. The one who caught her was him.

"It"s nothing. More importantly, do you feel better?"

Lyn was about to get up when she felt the dizziness take over her again, and the person immediately caught her. "Careful. Though your friend healed you, walking around now in your state would be foolish."

So Rhys healed her. But friend, huh? It certainly felt strange hearing somebody say her and Rhys are friends.

"I didn"t have time to introduce myself properly before. But I"m one of the King"s Knights."

Lyn nodded, "He"s still concealing his rank," Lyn mumbled in her head. But, she has already met the 1st-3rd knight. He"s the 4th right? Lyn heard that the Snow Kingdom royal family main Knight squad only had six spots. Unlike other royal families who would normally have a group of twelve. But, why did Lyn get the feeling that something was wrong with her a.n.a.lysis?

"I was going to say earlier. But the King said you"d be in my care for a while."

Ahh…so the next person who was to watch over her was this person? "Of course, you"ll still be able to perform your duties but under my supervision."

"I see."

"You don"t seem to be too surprised."

"My eldest brother told me about it before. She said that my Father plans for me. Since we didn"t end up having that fight with the connect. Father took advantage of this and said before they attack I should learn to control my powers from other groups of knights," Lyn said. Though she was reluctant to stop her training with Rhys, she liked the idea of learning more about the strength of Knights from different Kingdoms.

Even though she was learning a lot, there were still so many things she didn"t understand, especially about the specialties between different groups.

"I see…." he trailed off, " Look, I"m sure you sensed it earlier, but I"m..."

"A n.o.ble. I know."

"That"s right, but I"m not a normal one. I"m that b.a.s.t.a.r.d"s son Ozaki," Reiji cursed. When she first met this man, Lyn got a lazy impression. But now she could sense something serious about him.

Her face color went pale at the mention of the man. It made her sick thinking of him, so he"s Ozaki"s son. So that"s how it is, but for him to be here - for him to be a leader, then he must have left that side.
