Princess Lyn: Fleeting Dreams 478 Flower

…...

Despite how dark it was in the streets. Rhys could navigate easily, moreover this is the district. It was very late and yet the streets were filled with life. Rhys offered to fetch the bottles of alcohol for Melissa and also, maybe you should take a look at the flowers. They are very beautiful. It was a very peculiar sounding request. But he knew Melissa could sense what was going on in her head.

"You should finish your homework."

Mari nods in agreement. "Yup let's go take a look at the flowers".

In the end they made their way to the nearby park. Like Melissa said the flowers were in full bloom but Rhys noted there was an unusual crowd. 

According to what the people are saying a beautiful girl was playing the quil. If it were the past him then he would have gone to have a look. But it is different now, well at least since he met Lyn.

"Is that not the second Princess?"

"Huh?" Rhys blinked when he heard that remark. He turned his attention back to the crowd. There were many people so it was difficult to see.

One of the men whistled. "Youre right that is her. She is prettier than what people say."

"Why on earth is she here? Does she not know what kind of place this is?"

Indeed, Rhys wanted to scold her. Why on earth would would she come here?

"Maybe she has a special someone here."

At that comment his gaze softened. Could it be the silly girl came here for him? It wasnt a stretch. But Rhys thought Kazuya would have taken her away by now. Rhys did not waste anytime. He tapped somebodys shoulder and they immediately backed away.

"Its sir Rhys."

"Hey do you remember that rumor that sir Rhys is involved with a Princess?"

Rhys frowned and glared at the crowd to stop talking. The crowd made a path for him and he walked through quickly. "Lyn." Rhys called out..

Her eyes lit up when she saw him. He could not miss how happy she looked, Lyn put the quil down and rushed to him. "Rhys!"

"Why are you here...for me?"

Lyn nodded. "You were taking too long, so I thought I would come." She buried her face in his arms. "You said we would have dinner together. Did you forget already?"

His gaze softened when he heard those words. "I didn't." 

That wasn't a lie, he didn't forget. He had a nice meal planned out for her and everything is prepared already. However because of what Kazuya said, Rhys decided to cancel his plans. He ran his hands through her back. "You played beautifully."

"Aha." Lyn laughed. "You watched me? That is quite embarra.s.sing."

Rhys shook his head, "Not at all. But I'll admit it surprised me. You do public performances?"

"Un. Sorta.  At first it was just a way to release my frustration. After the incidence I had a lot of pent up anger and emotions I wanted to release. Back then I used to release that anger by fighting. However, the master told me, ' Your voice. If it's your voice you can express it more clearly' and ta da here it is." Lyn said.

Of course it is that guy, that person is truly mysterious. Even now Rhys did not understand him very well. "Should you not rest?"

Lyn moved away from his embrace and walked over to pick up the quil. She played some cords and a gentle melody filling the air. The crowd that were walking away turned to look but Rhys shot them a glare causing the remaining to scurry away.

"It is alright. If I don't move around  once in awhile then it wouldn't be good for me. Besides don't you think that fresh air is the best cure?"

That bright and refres.h.i.+ng smile, it still hasn't left her features. Even though a lot has happened. "I guess."

Rhys suddenly felt her gaze on him. "Hmmm..." Lyn said as she leaned forward.

So close, their faces are almost touching. Not good, he can't control his heart from beating. He had heard that she often did random things like this. But even so this would send any males heart into turmoil. Large eyes and perfect eye lashes, glossy looking lips.

This girl is perfect in so many levels. Honestly, Lyn always makes it difficult for him to do anything to her. Even though she is beautiful, whenever she is like this he stops. He has strange thoughts but something tells him to stop.

The warning bells in his head remind him of her age.

"You two don't need to hide, you know." Lyn suddenly broke the silence.

Eh? That's when Keith and Mari moved away from his hair, he watched as the girl's gaze brightened.. "There we go. I can finally see you two clearly."

So that was why she was so close.

But she doesn't think they're strange? Rhys found it hard to believe. When he first saw these things, he found them very strange.

"Miss could it be that you know about us?" Keith asked.

Lyn chuckled. "I also have one you know? But she is somewhere far away now."

She said the last line in a softer tone. Lyn also has one that's why she doesn't think it's strange. That's a relief, he wouldn't know how to explain them. Then again Lyn is not the type of person who would judge.

"Is she on a journey?"

"Yes." A flash of sadness crossed the girls eyes.

Gee these guys don't hesitate with their questions. It is clearly a sensitive matter to her. Well at least Mari is behaving, however just as she does so the pink hair girl sniffs the girl causing him to frown.

"Mari, what are you doing?"he exclaimed.

"This onee-chan smells the same. Ah! You know what I was saying before as Penelope-sama."

He flicked Mari's forehead. "Again with that. Didn't I say to drop the idea?"

Rather doing something like that with no restraint, does she not have any manners? Rhys proceeded to apologise when he noticed the girl looked shocked. 

"Eh, I'm surprised." Lyn chuckles. "That's right. You're pretty sharp aren't you."

Wait could it be that they are related? But hold on a second according to Luxin's information Lyn doesn't have any relatives among the magic circle. 

"I was Lady Penelope's pupil."

His eyes widened when he heard the girls words. This girl also had another teacher? Now that he thought about it, when he first met her she only just met master Ralph. Back then he already sensed strong magic from her. It would be impossible to be on that level without a teacher.

Oh so that's it. But past tense? "You quit?"
