Princess Lyn: Fleeting Dreams 210 Take those words back

Her eyes twitched in annoyance at Reiji's comments, is this man implying that she is frail? How rude. Hasn't he heard the saying that you can't judge a person by their appearance alone? Sure to everyone else she may look weak, but appearances are deceiving. Besides, this person hasn't heard about it? About her? Didn't Reiji say the other day that he knew Shioka, that much should be obvious? Then again, even the reputation she built up in that community is shrouded in darkness.

Wait, why does she even want him to know? It makes little difference. Whether or not she actually had any achievements, this person would not acknowledge her at all.

His gaze remained on her, and he seemed to get closer. Reiji reached over and touched her cheeks, "A weakling like you isn't worth my time."

Lyn puffed her cheeks up, and she glared at him, "I may be weak appearance-wise. But don't underestimate me."

"I'll underestimate you because all I see is you hiding behind those two all the time. And don't give me that nonsense about hiding your abilities. Why would you do that if you live in these times? There are people out there who strive and crave power so badly. The power to protect, to defend themselves. Do you know how many people crave that power? And you're telling me that your hiding your abilities? What for?"

Lyn felt her face color turn pale at his words. That's right, he's right, isn't he? Why is she hiding her abilities? She has a reason. But, if she were to say it out loud now, wouldn't she look like some sort of self-entitled rich brat? How stupid. She's ridiculous. She came all the way out here, and yet her resolve is shattered in just a few words. Perhaps she really is just in over her head. Change the Empire as Lyn and not a Princess?! Commoners barely have a say.

What is she doing? This entire time, what she been up to? Her thoughts broke off when Lyn saw somebody familiar standing not too far from where they were.

"Allen?"

Allen frowned and sent a harsh glare towards Reiji. He walked over to her and pulled her into his arms, "Allen? Um?"

"Shall we get going?"

"Ah?"

"You'll train with me," Allen said.

Wait; what? Eh? Lyn looked at Allen, confused, but he was already pulling her away. Reiji called out after him.

"My wife is not somebody you can harm physically, or insult with your barbaric words."

.....

A deep sigh escaped Lyn's lips as she recalled what happened earlier. There was no way Allen would actually train with her; instead, it was the usual. She watched him do his paperwork. Then again, it seemed like today something was different. Allen asked her for her opinions about many things, and they had a decent discussion. It was enjoyable for her. Still, Allen looks exhausted. Exactly what is this huge favor the King asked of him, that made him feel so distressed? No matter how much Lyn brought up the topic.

Allen wouldn't budge on the matter. Kazuya and the others still aren't back either. 'Fetch me my belongings in the waiting area.,' Allen had told her. Who leaves their stuff in a strangers place?

Then again, he must have seen what was going on with her and appeared just in time. As Lyn made her way down the hallway, she spotted somebody familiar from the corner of her eye. It was Reiji; he was sleeping on the window ledge. At least that is what it looked like; Lyn knew he wasn't.

Lyn simply walked past, but Reiji called out to her.

"Wait."

"What do you want?" Lyn said, annoyed.

"For somebody who did training, your not dirty or injured."

This man!!

Reiji's lips curve to a smile, "Unless you were doing another sort of training? I guess that's all your good for after all."

A shameless man, she ought to just ignore him.

"This was the first time I met Prince Allen, but he's as shrewd and cold as the rumors say. If you're into an aggressive and dominating man like that, then I wonder how you two are in bed.

At that comment, Lyn turned around and walked over. Her footsteps felt heavy, but each step was filled with confidence. Reiji hadn't batted an eyelid and still looked like he was sleeping. But Lyn knew he was awake.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.

"Take those words back."

"Oh?"

"Take them back," Lyn repeated, "I don't care if you insult me. But don't drag Allen down too." Unlike herself, Allen has done so much for the Empire. He's an important existence. She won't allow people to slander him like this.

Reiji stood up, and Lyn found herself backing away until her back hit the wall. "You know, I don't know why you're still talking. Do you want to know the real reason why the King asked you to come along? It's because your blood is of high quality, and your curse is something good for us."

Wait; what?

"That's.."

"Your basically here as a bride candidate for one of us knights. Though if you ask me your more like food," Reiji's eye color flashed a deep crimson red, "So, do you understand? Quit acting all entitled. It makes me sick. Your purpose here is simply to serve us, even if we don't train you - the King won't notice at all."

Such a cold person. He may be indifferent and lazy. But Lyn could see it, deep pain in his eyes. This person has probably suffered a lot of things for him to say such cruel words. For him to hate somebody, they just met.

However, just because he is in pain doesn't mean he has the right to insult an innocent person. Lyn looked up at him, their eyes met. Such a deep crimson and she can sense it. Blood lust and the eyes of a beast. Is she the same as them? Whether or not that's the truth, Lyn would not dwell on it for now, not because she is running away but because she has something to do.

"Take those words back," Lyn remained firm with her words.

Reiji brought his lips to her ear, and Lyn flinched. Is he going to try something like Leo did? After a few minutes had passed; however, Lyn noticed that he didn't do anything.

"This is stupid," Reiji murmured and pulled away from her. "Princess Lyn, if you don't want to be swallowed whole, I could give you some advice. But you'll have to pay for it."

Recalling the words he just whispered in her ear, Lyn shot him a harsh glare, "I don't need your advice!!"

The Snow Kingdom Knights, she already had a bad impression of Leo but now even this guy. They make her so angry.
