Lyn froze when she heard his words. For a split moment, it felt like the world around her had stopped. She felt her mind go blank as she stared at Rhys; he wore such a serious gaze on his face. The usually jokey face or sly smirk was not there, and she felt her whole face turn red. Even if she is dating Kazuya, hearing somebody she is supposedly close with makes her feel incredibly nervous.
'He can't be serious,' Lyn thought. This is Rhys after all, Rhys who treats all women regardless of who they are is saying these words to her.
"W—what do you mean I like?"
"Exactly what it sounds."
What it sounds? But to her, it sounds like he is declaring his feelings of love for her. B—but that can't be possible. For Rhys of all people to 'love' her that way. It sounds wrong.
"I know..you like joking Rhys, but these type of jokes are bad for my heart."
He gently cupped her cheeks, "I'm not joking with you, Princess."
