Is it okay to name this relationship?

Rhys sat down beside her and interlocked a strand of her hair with his fingers. "You should be nervous."

'This man is getting more shameless and brazen as the days go by. But I cannot say I dislike that about him.' For her this is better, Rhys bold behaviour. If he treated her preciously and kindly it would remind her of Kazuya. Kazuya huh? Whenever she thought of him this strange pain would appear in her heart.

She thought she resolved herself already to remain with Rhys, no matter what happens. But it seems that is not the case here. For her those precious times with Kazuya can only stay as a distant memory. In order to become the Queen, she has to sacrifice something.

"Have you heard from Kazuya?"
