The Village Girl And the Fox Prince

Chapter 42 - The Coming of Someone.

Unable to listen to the conversation between father and son until it was over, Hazel decided to rush back to the room immediately. Although his body felt weak, both legs he moved forcefully.

The view began to blur, blocked by clear circles that pooled in the eye fertilizers. He could not imagine what would happen to him and Lynx in the future.

His breathing began to falter, his tears had already flooded part of the surface of his face. After reaching the room, Hazel immediately threw her body into the bed. Pulling the blanket over his entire body, similar to a cocoon.

She was crying out there. Wet the pillow with tears that keep pouring out. His bad thoughts continued to attack his head repeatedly. Afraid to face tomorrow.

Gently caressing her flat stomach, Hazel was very regretful if she died pregnant. If the only way to be free from all this pain is to be separated, then Hazel will accept it.

It's okay his love should run aground because of the blessing problem, as long as Hazel can raise her child, yes even though not accompanied by Lynx. At least Hazel didn't feel guilty for not dragging her son into this.

“Hiks..”.

Maybe because she was crying too much, Hazel didn't consciously fall asleep. Don't know if last night Lynx came to the room or not. Know-how, when his eyes opened, the sun had already risen. Its bright light enters through an open ventilation gap.

Looking to the right and left, and checking all the places in this room, Hazel did not see the man's nose. His worry becomes more and more so, starting to think maybe Lynx is in danger.

“Where is he?” Hazel bit the fingernail tip, her eyes rolling in various directions. So agitated it looks.

Hearing the sound of the door being knocked, Hazel immediately sumringah. Think that maybe it was Lynx. But for a moment his galloping steps there suddenly came to a halt, a question arose and dispelled his hope.

A question came to his mind. If it's Lynx, why knock on the door first? He is doubtful now.

While the sound of the knocking did not stop. Make Hazel inevitably have to go there and open it. If indeed someone out there has bad intentions, Hazel just thinks maybe his death is in sight.

After the door opened, it turned out that the one who came was a young girl with a bright orange mane. Looks beautiful and adorable. The bead is bright green. Her little lips smiled sweetly.

“Hai, good morning. Did something happen? You look pale with your eyes moist.” The girl looked around, watching Hazel closely.

Hazel shook her head, returning a smile with a clumsy expression. “Ti-no. I just woke up.”

“Oh, okay. Please shower and change clothes. I've prepared a set of clothes for you. Please take.” He handed a flat container like a tray containing neatly folded clothes to Hazel.

“Te-thank you.” Hazel bowed briefly while accepting it, still feeling awkward to meet a creature in this fairy tale world.

He thought the girl was going to say goodbye to leaving, but was busy looking at him from top to bottom. No matter what she was looking for, Hazel could not read her thoughts or movements. But if you look at it like that, Hazel gets a little uncomfortable.

“What's up?”

The long-spirited girl shook her head while widening her smile. “Nothing. Just looking for the truth that Kak San and Kak Sen are saying. They say that sister Lynx's boyfriend isn't pretty and looks like a witch. But..”

Honestly, Hazel was confused about having to laugh or be sad. The innocent girl said everything through her heart without being seen hiding the slightest lie.

“... After seeing it in person, it felt like they were lying to me. My sister Lynx is very beautiful. I love the color of your eyes, your small body and your fluffy wave hair,” he continued with a light laugh.

Relieved, not knowing why Hazel was relieved after hearing that. He thought the girl would come to condemn him. But it didn't. Hazel begins to feel the positive aura in the girl's body, feeling that she is not a part of those who are very strongly opposed to this relationship.

Hazel smiled, this time the smile was no longer stiff. His body leaned slightly in order to align with the girl in front of him.

“Your name is Aluka? I think I heard your voice yesterday. You also delivered another outfit today,” guess Hazel, feeling unmistakable with her memory.

And he nodded. Justifying Hazel's question.

“Hazel. Just call Hazel without frills kak.”

“Wow, your name is also good. Will you be friends with me?”

A little surprised because it happened all of a sudden, but in the end Hazel nodded involuntarily. In a moment of chaotic thought, Aluka came to divert him.

“Good. As a good friend. I will help you to tidy up your hair and also dress you up a little. Because soon the family breakfast will begin, you must look beautiful in front of everyone.”

Hazel nodded in spirit. “Thank you. You can enter.” The door to his room he opened wide, letting the girl walk past him.

***

Lynx, who had been sitting in front of the pool beside the palace since last night, had not rested her mind or body. His eye bags were blackened, his eyes looked empty.

Jack, the man whom Lynx considers mother, moves closer to her. Patted his shoulders until his gaze rose to look at each other.

“How?”

Lynx smiled knot. “I've thought through the plan. I'll be back on the sidelines, and I'm sure this time he'll listen to me.”

“What's your plan?” Jack was curious.

Lynx's body inched from the rock where he sat for hours pensively. She smiled meaningfully, leaving Jack without an answer.

“Hey, you haven't answered my question.”

Lynx who was speeding ahead there waved his hand without turning his body. “Later you'll know for yourself, Mom. Come to the dining room, I'll show you there. Intentionally, so that everyone knows about what I'm saying.”

Although his feelings are a little doubtful, but Jack still follows where Lynx steps.

Right in the palace grounds, before climbing the steps to the main door, either Jack or Lynx were both surprised by the unexpected arrival of someone.

The beautiful girl with the green snake coiling around her neck walked leisurely towards the two. He did not come alone, accompanied by several guards on the right and left.

“Mr Ren's daughter? Why did you come here?” Jack asked, because Lynx had already thrown his face in any direction.

The one being asked directly stretched a graceful smile. “I heard the news that Prince Lynx is back. Then I was invited here, the King wants me to join your family banquet in the morning.”

The indifferent-looking Lynx chose to go first. “I'll be in.”

Jack smiled awkwardly as he rubbed his nape. “Ah, a-can. Forgive Prince Lynx. He's got a big problem. So...”

Without feeling offended, Ren cursed at her. “No need to apologize, Jack. I've memorized that trait. So just relax.”

“Alright, then please come in. The King must have been waiting for the arrival of the Princess,” take Jack politely, letting the girl from the opposite Kingdom walk first.

In Jack's heart whispered gamang, “What other situation is this? Really complicate. I don't know what Lynx's plan is, plus Princess Ren suddenly came in this morning. Surely this opportunity is used by the twin princes to cause other problems.”
