However, she could not lie to herself. To be honest, she no longer knew if it was out of obedience to her goddess or simply because she yearned for the love of her lover.
But no matter what, she knew very well that all of this was merely quenching her thirst with poison.
After this night, she would become Rayne's enemy…
At the thought of that, Lynn's heart was broken.
She hesitated.
Compared to being hated by Rayne, perhaps it was better to be ignored by Rayne…
Lynn's hands were trembling.
The black dagger was getting further and further away from Rayne…
However, at that moment, Rayne spoke. "It's regrettable, Lynn…"
Lynn sighed softly. "Your Highness, I…"
Rayne looked sad. "I'm extremely disappointed that I couldn't obtain your sincerity and can only be a tool for you to complete your goddess's mission… However, I'm very willing to help you."
With that said, Rayne stared at Lynn with a gentle gaze and smiled again.
"Huh?"
Rayne's firm words surprised Lynn. However, she smiled thereafter.
"You're indeed very concerned about Her Majesty Alice. Your Highness Rayne, you're saying that because you're afraid that I'll hurt her, right?"
"No, concern for Alice is one thing. On the other hand, Lynn, I've wanted to be friends with you for a long time, or perhaps... an even more intimate relationship."
Lynn was stunned. She did not understand Rayne's words.
Or rather, she could not believe it!
Lynn's voice trembled. "Your Highness, do you mean… you still remember me?"
Rayne nodded firmly. "Yes, I couldn't forget."
Lynn shook her head desperately. "That's not right. You must be lying to me. I'm a Fallen and a mortal. Why would you… miss someone like me?"
"Do you want to know the answer? Let me tell you then."
Rayne said with a smile, "That's because you're the strongest martial arts practitioner I've ever seen in my life. You're a great warrior who can create miracles…"
Thereafter, Rayne added in embarrassment, "Furthermore, you're a peerless beauty whom I would yearn for in my dreams."
Lynn was shocked. She blushed and moaned softly, "Y-You're too kind…"
His Highness Rayne… actually praised me as a beauty!
Lynn could not help but cheer in her heart. To be able to hear such praise from her crush was the happiest thing!
Just as Lynn was in a daze... Rayne suddenly attacked. Lynn's black dagger changed owners instantly and landed in Rayne's hands.
Lynn was shocked. However, thereafter, she was stunned by Rayne's superb skills.
He snatched away Lynn's dagger so easily… Even if that was because he caught Lynn off guard when she was distracted, it was enough to show Rayne's terrifying strength.
Lynn's guess was right.
Rayne was indeed an expert!
Rayne looked at the black dagger and praised gently, "What a good dagger… Sharp and cold, yet the design is comfortable and reliable. I feel warm and secure holding it in my hand."
He looked at Lynn with a smile. "This dagger suits you very well, Miss Lynn."
With that said, Rayne carefully returned the long dagger to Lynn's scabbard.
"I-I…!"
At this moment, Lynn was already incoherent from the teasing. Although Rayne seemed to be praising the dagger, he was actually praising Lynn as well.
That was because…
Lynn said shyly, "Actually, Your Highness, my soul… is in that dagger…"
"I see."
Rayne smiled. "No wonder I fell in love with it right away."
"En, en…"
Lynn whimpered further in embarrassment.
As a pure follower of chaos, Lynn had never seen such a scene since she was young.
If it was just an ordinary man provoking Lynn like this, she would naturally be able to restrain herself. But now… the person seducing Lynn was the man she loved the most!
She did not expect Rayne, whom she thought had no interest in her, to flirt with her so actively.
Furthermore, his words were filled with love.
Finally, Lynn could not help but ask weakly, "Your Highness Rayne, could it be that you… like me?"
"I won't lie to you, Lynn. I'll be honest with you."
Rayne revealed a complicated smile and caressed Lynn's face. "I was once very afraid of you, but now, Lynn, I just want to stand with you, support each other and fight side by side…"
This answer was not perfect.
However, it was enough to have Lynn fall in love with him.
As though she had been saved, Lynn threw herself into Rayne's arms affectionately.
Lynn's voice was filled with tears. "Your Highness Rayne… I fell in love with you at first sight from the first time I met you. I know that my status is not worthy of the noble Prince of Haines, but I'm still unwilling to give up. That's great… Now, I can finally…"
Just like that, a crisis turned into a romance drama.
Rayne hugged Lynn and comforted the incoherent her. "Tell me, Lynn, what do you want to say to me now?"
Lynn's heart raced. In her immense happiness, Lynn said softly, "I love you, Your Highness Rayne."
"Looks like our feeling's mutual... I'm so happy, Lynn."
"Me too, Your Highness…"
Thereafter, the two loving lovers looked into each other's eyes and… kissed naturally.
It was sweet and passionate.
They were unwilling to part.
Rayne played with the first strap on Lynn's robe. "So, what else do you want to do next? Do you want to fulfill your edict? In that case, shouldn't we release Alice first?"
"No… Please ignore Alice and the edict for now, Your Highness Rayne."
Lynn fixed Rayne's head affectionately, causing his gaze to be focused on her.
Under Rayne's teasing, Lynn had already forgotten about the edict. Now, this pure girl who had just fallen in love… only wanted to understand what love was.
Her eyes were filled with emotions as she said, "Now, please only look at me and love me alone…"
On the other side.
While Lynn and Rayne were intertwined in sweet passion...
Alice, who was left hanging at the side, lay on the bed in the silent darkness.
She grew increasingly confused.
A few hours have already passed...
What... are those two doing?
How long more do I have to be tied up for?!?
However, she could not lie to herself. To be honest, she no longer knew if it was out of obedience to her goddess or simply because she yearned for the love of her lover.
But no matter what, she knew very well that all of this was merely quenching her thirst with poison.
