Ten Centimeters Part 2

Rhys always silently laughed to himself whenever he heard those rumors about the second Princess being ugly. Ugly? Lyn? When they finally meet her, they will be in for a surprise.

Lyn looked over at him briefly, "Will you be the one teaching me?"

"Who else could?"

"I suppose so..." Lyn suddenly wrapped her arms around him. "I miss Kazuya, but I don't think I can be with him now."

"Lyn.."

"I know this is strange, and I don't get it either. But lately, I'm so tired. I've resolved myself to take the throne, and I'm busier because of that. Yet," she trailed off. "..these days I'm feeling so very sad and lonely. Rhys, can I truly become the Queen?"

Rhys gently caressed her hair before wrapping a few strands around his fingers. He brought those strands to his lips. "If you don't want to be the Queen... Lyn, I will take you away."

"Take me away?" Lyn repeated.
