The Village Girl And the Fox Prince

Chapter 44 - Getting Mixed with the Situation.

“Huek!”

“Huek!”

Hazel vomited all the liquid in her stomach, but since yesterday she had not eaten anything, smelling the fishy smell of raw fish made her nauseous.

So he had to go to the back room, leaving the breakfast unfinished. He was so unwell, it was possible that the people there were disgusted by him.

Lynx ran around to catch up with him. Looking at Hazel's pale face was so alarming. Immediately he gave a swipe right on the back of his lover.

“You're still nauseous if you eat fish? Want to eat fruit or I'll get you another meal?” ask Lynx while continuing to brush.

Hazel shook her head weakly, her body leaning against Lynx's field chest. Hiding his face there. “I'm limp, Lynx. I was confused what to eat. It doesn't taste good at all. But if not filled with food, pity our baby.”

Lynx's large arms curled around Hazel's small waist, hugging her tightly while giving a brief peck on her forehead. “Let's go to the room first. You can rest while waiting for me to bring fresh fruits.”

He slowly swept Hazel's body, walking side by side while embracing her attentively. While passing through the dining room, all of them who were still sitting down to enjoy the food turned to Lynx and Hazel.

San instantly quipped spicy with his cynical gaze, “Troubt it. If he continues to be so spoiled, how can you focus on training to become a warlord? Remember, how the end of this Kingdom is in your hands!”

Lynx paused, able to feel a squeeze from Hazel's fingers over her chest. Lynx's feelings of fear and uneasiness could be felt from there.

A little head-dropping, Lynx glared at San with a look of dislike. “Why did you bother? That's my business. I don't need to care about you reminding me of that. So you better shut up. No one asks for advice from you, or is interested in talking to people like you,” he said.

After Lynx again rushed out through the door, Hazel's body he had brought in a sling to further speed up the steps to leave in front of them all.

After Lynx and Hazel died, the situation here became more and more uncomfortable. The atmosphere when eating that should feel solemn is even spiced by squabbles to make the atmosphere so awkward.

Aluka shifted the chair while standing up. Stop eating activities that will provoke emotions if it continues to linger here.

“Your support is always like that, sister. I don't like. Her name was a pregnant woman, wasn't such a thing natural? A man like you has shown that you are a selfish person. I'll side with Brother Lynx, it's up to you guys,” the fiery Aluka murmur.

Then he catches up with Lynx and Hazel in a hurry. His hands clenched and his footsteps deliberately jolted to the floor. Indicates that he is currently angry.

Jack cleared his throat, delaying the fork and spoon on his plate. “To create a peaceful environment, you better not interfere too much.” His eyes were on the twins.

Sen who did not accept, immediately frowned. “Why are you looking at me too? You think I'm a troublemaker?”

“Still asking? Aren't you the Prince of Sequins? One comes, the other goes too. San's fishing for a commotion, you're the one who continues. Right no? That's why I'm warning you. Please give Lynx a little confidence. Let him prove his worth,” pinta Jack is still in a polite tone.

San laughed widely but what he showed was a disappointed expression. “Just blame us both. You've always been on that fool's side. If it wasn't for your magic abilities that my father recognized, you might have been expelled here. Or you've long since died of being hanged exactly like the mother of that fool!”

The sound of a table shake made by San made Princess Ren who had been silent since listening to the conversation, so a little surprised by surprise. One by one, people started to leave. Sen followed the steps of San who had already left the room.

Jack and Princess Ren are left. They looked at each other, the girl in the dark green colored dress smiled clumsily. Jack tried to widen his smile while breathing heavily.

“Sorry, Princess Ren.” Jack rubbed his neck.

“... After this maybe you'll be traumatized coming here again. This unpleasant incident can disturb your mind. On behalf of the Kingdom of Foxion, I apologize profusely.” His head lowered, one hand he kept in his chest.

Princess Ren with the kindness of her heart, did not justify Jack's talk. “Please don't be like that. I'm it's okay. It was a little bit of a shock, but in the end I was relieved.”

“Lega?” Jack again raised his gaze, looking at the girl sitting opposite him question markingly.

“Hm.” His head nodded small, the smile that was created looked sincere without making up. “Because actually I also disagree with this matchmaking. Besides I don't have any feelings for Prince Lynx. I was happy when I found out Prince Lynx had found his true love.”

Scrolling a sideways glance, Princess Ren gave a smile that was about to rise. “... There are other men I love, that's why I feel relieved to not be married to Prince Lynx,” continued with reddish cheeks.

“Aluka, can you accompany Hazel for a moment? I'm going downstairs, to where the residents are. Who knows, they have a fruit supply. I'll ask some of them,” beg Lynx on his youngest sister.

The two of them were standing face to face in front of the door of Hazel's room.

His head nodded obediently. “Sure. But I will ask the servant to fetch the fountain of life, Hazel must drink it. At least it can make it better.”

Lynx stroked the top of Aluka's head. “Yes, just do it. I owe you.”

Rushing to get out of the palace, Lynx moved both of his legs quickly. Aluka smiled as she looked at the back of her eldest brother who was starting to move away. He felt there had been a big change since Lynx ran away that day.

His mind wondered, could it be because he was in love?

“Not. The answer is not because of his falling in love.” Aluka muttered, getting an answer to her own question. “But it's about someone who managed to make her fall in love and bring change for her.”

“Kak Lynx has not returned. Surely he has trouble getting fruits,” said Aluka who is chin-backed, sitting next to the bed where Hazel lay.

“Indeed in this country does not have a special land to grow a variety of fruits?” As Hazel remembered, there was a lot of empty green land around here, so she was astonished.

“You forgot? We are meat-eating foxes. Not too fond of the fruit and to plant it also needs a lot of time and energy. While the residents here only the population is getting smaller,” said Aluka.

Hazel chuckled in embarrassment while nodding. “True too. I didn't think I'd get there.”

“From on bored here. Want to get out for a second? To the back garden, where Sister Lynx often trained with Uncle Jack,” Aluka invited him while extending her hand, her body was already standing.

Without thinking, Hazel immediately shook the girl's hand. Letting his body be led to where he meant. Hazel is also a little curious about the place, as Aluka says Lynx often trains there.

From end to end of the hallway or the room they pass, many servants pass by to clean or do their duties. They looked at Hazel with strange eyes, before being rebuked by Aluka.

“He's a good man. Don't look at him with that kind of look. Just do your duty if I don't want to throw it at the King's Majesty or Queen's Mother!” Aluka warned them firmly.

The adorable innocent side of it turned out to be able to make the servants crumble helplessly to fight, now no one dared to look at Hazel, they were busy turning their eyes. Pretending not to see.

“I'm curious, what happened to you so much that you hate humans?” ask Hazel in between steps.

Aluka glanced at him, but her shoulders were poking. “Not want to answer. But someone clearly knows it more than me. Maybe he'll explain later if you ask.”

“Who is he?”

“Uncle Jack.”

Hazel's mind wandered. He became curious about the figure of the man named Jack.

“If you may know, who is he in this Kingdom? Does he have a position? I heard she was very familiar with Lynx, even she was considered Mother by him,” asked Hazel again, wanting to dispel her curiosity.

“She's the sister of Sister Lynx's biological mother. All I know is that Uncle Jack is one of those foxes who can control a lot of magic. From that ability, he was appointed as a sorcerer to help other foxes hone their magic skills,” said Aluka as it is.

Quite a lot of things they said, eventually both of them arrived at the intended place. The garden behind the palace that Aluka was referring to turned out to be very spacious.

Filled with green grass that is very soft if stepped on without using footwear, the distinctive fragrant leaves in the trees driven by the wind can be sniffed. The sun is quite blazing, making the park here look brighter.

“Actually there is nothing here. But I'm happy to come here in the afternoon, because Brother Lynx and Uncle Jack are always there to practice,” said Aluka while sitting his butt under a shade tree, wanting to shade from the sun.

Hazel widened her gaze, the breeze that hit her face made the sunlight so warm. Bring a comfortable feeling. He also saw at the end of the park there is a small house, or maybe it could be said warehouse.

“That's where?” Hazel's index finger went to the spot she had observed before.

Aluka shrugged her shoulders while shaking her head. “Only Brother Lynx and Uncle Jack know. I was never allowed to go in there.”

“Why? You want to go there? Maybe if it was you, he would allow,” continued by asking questions.

“Ya, later I will try asking him.”

Sitting next to Aluka, Hazel closed her eyes for a moment. Feel the comfortable and soothing feeling here more intensely.

A few empty minutes without chatter, suddenly the sound of footsteps could be heard approaching. Curious, Hazel opened her eyes. Likewise with Aluka, his gaze was straight ahead.

“Princess Ren?”

It was thought that those who came were Lynx, but it turned out to be the princess of the Oxra Kingdom. But by the way, why did he come here?

“Daughter Aluka, Queen Mother is looking for you. Maybe there's something he wants to do with you,” he said after his move got closer.

Aluka stood up straight from her sitting position. “Really? Then I'll be there soon.”

Before deciding to leave, Aluka turned to Hazel. Confused, should he take her or leave her there?

Princess Ren who seemed to understand Aluka's feelings, immediately hurriedly replied, “You can go. Let her be with me here.”

His gaze moved on Hazel, he developed a smile. “You don't mind sitting down and chatting here with me?”
