The Village Girl And the Fox Prince

Chapter 16 - Let's Make a Deal.

Hundreds of centuries ago, there was a great Kingdom called Foxion. In accordance with the name ‘Fox’ which means fox, the kingdom is indeed inhabited by herds of foxes. But the fox that lived and lived in that era was no ordinary fox.

The foxes have the same life as humans. And through the pendant that has been blessed, they can change into human beings in general. But it happens only during the day, when at night they will return to their original form.

Not only that, because the foxes who serve under the feet of King Arandelle, a leader in the Kingdom of Foxion, on average can master a variety of magic.

Even all the elements that exist on earth they can master. Because of their cleverness in processing magic, Foxion Kingdom was once at the peak of its glory.

In the fairy tale, Foxion Kingdom once eradicated enemies from other Kingdoms who tried to seize the magic they had painstakingly developed. Because basically sorcery is not purely from something learned alone, but because of the ability that has been blessed since birth.

Therefore, some other Kingdoms had evil intentions. They deliberately kidnapped the clever foxes that were already considered the price of death by the Foxion Kingdom. They conduct experiments with sadists, wanting to take over their magic abilities.

No matter if they had to dissect the heads of the foxes, or even research their blood in order to see what really made them so great at controlling witchcraft.

One of the people doing the crazy experiment was the Maggie Kingdom, which was ruled by a dog race. Not much different from the fox clans, they can also transform into humans.

If the fox clan needed a pendant to transform themselves into humans, the dog clan would not need one. Because it is said, their ancestors endowed a mind control ability.

Which ability can be used to change yourself according to what is in the mind. The stronger the focus is made, then their desire to do something that is in the mind will be more quickly realized.

Through that ability, they can bring out something that is impossible. But the side effects of that ability are quite large as well. Many corpses were scattered as they tried to realize something that was clearly beyond ability.

Relations between the Kingdom that was originally safe and peaceful were slowly falling apart until there was bloodshed. The culprit was the Maggie Kingdom that ignited the flames of the war.

None of that would have happened if King Barney, as the leader of the Maggie Kingdom, had been able to bring down the Foxion Kingdom with the ability of his own army. That was why King Barney had a meeting with the Kings of other kingdoms to cooperate.

According to the fairy tale that has mushroomed in society, such is the end of the Kingdom of Foxion. Their sorcery was snatched by the Maggie Kingdom from a dog race. And through the magic that the Kingdom of Maggie had mastered, King Barney greedily and pettily removed other Kingdoms with ease.

So that the Kingdom of Maggie became the only Kingdom with the strongest magic owner, as well as the owner of other abilities. They sucked out what other Kingdoms had, in order to become powerful without being peerless.

But according to the written fairy tale, from the war that ended tragically, there is still one clan of fox Darrellyn that is identical to the color of her beautiful eyes. In recent times, the fox clan is still alive.

“Ekhem!” Lynx cleared her throat while picking up the book Hazel was reading, leaving the girl instantly flabbergasted by rounding her brown eyes.

“It is fitting that since I called you for breakfast you did not say, it turns out that you are busy reading this cheap fairy tale,” said Lynx with a hand that held the book up high, so Hazel needs to tiptoe and even jump to grab it.

“Give me! It is not polite to take someone else's stuff. Besides, why did you break into my room without permission?” sneer Hazel with narrowed eyes, dislike.

The old fairy tale Lynx put on the girl's head. Then both hands he folds in front of the chest. Still staring at Hazel with a hard-to-understand look.

“What's a look?” Hazel raised her chin high, as if challenging the man before her.

Free, Hazel can't dodge anymore. He was caught red-handed. Lynx saw that she was reading a fairy tale about a fox, one of a kind with Lynx.

“If you're curious, why don't you ask me directly? Than to bother reading a fairy tale like this, because it will end in vain. Your curiosity towards me will not be fulfilled just by reading a fairy tale whose contents are almost engineered all,”, Lynx said while resting her hair, showing her charm.

“... So don't blame me when I find out all this myself,” Hazel added, crossing her arms in front of her chest.

Lynx nodded, her tall body walking around Hazel slowly with her hands behind her back. “Yes, it's because I didn't know that you were interested enough. To the point of wanting to find out what my background information is like.”

Not accepting to be considered like that, Hazel immediately said, “Lack your confidence, I did all this because I did not want to if in the end I realized that you are a monster. What's wrong if I find out the origin of a creature like you?”

Lynx's lips carved a meaningful grin, her body already facing Hazel. The distance between the two of them was getting smaller as the man bravely tried to walk closer to him.

Hazel, frightened by Lynx's approach, tries to walk backwards. Until his back touched the wall, making him unable to move anywhere anymore.

“I had thought to keep everything secret about me to you until the right time has arrived, but seeing you who seems impatient, it seems I have to tell it now.”

As he said that, Lynx's body leaned forward. So that his face is parallel to the girl in front of him, so as to make a roar of breath both can sweep each face.

Next to Lynx's hand was against the wall, as if she was holding Hazel's small body. As their neutrals continued to meet, moving in rhythm, their hearts were busy pumping stronger to bring out a warm beat.

Trying to resuscitate her mind that was starting to be affected by the perfect figure in front of her, Hazel blinked her eyes repeatedly. Remove incitements that feel whispering near the ear.

Until finally Hazel bravely pushed Lynx's body away from him, giving space or distance between their bodies in order to freely breathe.

“That's dramatic. We're just discussing things that don't even lead to something like that. But why are you so aggressive that you did just that? Warning me to make distance, have you forgotten?”

Lynx who was throwing her face to the side to hide her reddened cheeks, only realized what she had just done. Really, it's beyond belief.

He fell asleep, carried away by the mood of the heart rhythm that led him to do it. Maybe if Hazel doesn't push him, Lynx will get out of control.

“Let's make a deal, Hazel. Say yes or no,” said Lynx suddenly, can not guess what was in his mind.

“What deal? Don't babble too much, the sun is already rising. We need to hurry to work. Do not be late,” indifferent Hazel, prepare to leave, want to end this chat.

But Lynx didn't let Hazel just walk away. The girl's wrist had Lynx managed to grab onto it. Hazel had to take a breath, try to be patient and wait for what she was going to say.

“Tonight, let's tell each other about each other's lives. You know about me, so I know about you. Let's share a story, Hazel. It would be unfair if only you knew, whereas I didn't at all,” Lynx said of his invitation.

Hazel laughed expressionlessly, as if voicing her sad feelings. “Even if my story is worse than trash, would you listen to it?”

Lynx's shoulders lifted no matter. “Why not? All about you, I like. I'm ready to listen to everything. And vice versa, I'll tell you too. And let's promise, this story only stops between us..”.

“... In other words, so secret both of us.”
