The Village Girl And the Fox Prince

Chapter 45 - Support.

“Wah, pretty much. Hopefully enough to eat Hazel until the next few days,” murmured Lynx with sumringah, both hands full of fresh fruits.

Likewise with clothes that he uses as a place to put the remnants of fruits that can not be held. He walked while humming cheerfully, his fatigue paid off because he could get the fruits.

He ventured far into the border of Foxion Kingdom with the opposite Kingdom, because the supply of fruits in the population was not enough. Long wandered only to look for fruits, making his entire body flooded with sweat.

Dull on his face mixed with sweat looks shiny. The smell of the sun was pouring out of his body. The gatekeepers, or even his brothers who accidentally mess with him deliberately Lynx ignored.

His mind was already focused on Hazel, eager to immediately hand over all the fruit he got to her lover. But when he got to the room, Hazel was not there.

Diving into various places, Lynx caught the figure of Aluka who was walking alone. The youngest sister was walking in a hurry, going somewhere.

Shouting from upstairs, Lynx tried to call him, “Hei, Aluka! Look over here!” His hands were waving, the girl down there was already staring at him.

“Kak Lynx is back. So many fruits you brought!” exclaim Aluka, come happy.

“Ya, passable. But where is Hazel? Didn't he leave it to you? In the room there is no one,” ask directly to the point.

Aluka casually replied, “She is in the back garden. Chat with Princess Ren.”

Hearing the name ‘Ren’ Lynx's chest immediately raged, feeling there was a strange turmoil that could not be interpreted. But to be sure, Lynx does not like Princess Ren. I don't know, he always felt so alert that he kept his distance.

“Aish, why did you leave them alone?”

Her innocent face looked puzzled, plus her eyes blinked rapidly. “What's wrong?” Aluka did not understand what Lynx was thinking, because she thought it was only natural that they were alone.

After all, to Aluka, Princess Ren was not an evil woman. Although the symbol of the snake is often interpreted as something that is not good, but so far the Kingdom of Oxra has never been in conflict with any party. Instead they want to join forces to avenge the Kingdom of Maggie.

Trying to be calm, Lynx controlled a strange feeling that made her heart situation go up and down. Instead of debating something that Aluka could not understand, she better go to see them immediately.

Lynx immediately went down the stairs as fast as she could. Turning towards the back room, ignoring Aluka who was still staring at the place with a confused look.

The fruits in Lynx's clothes scattered one by one, but the man with the sweat that was wetting his entire body did not seem to care. He just focused on walking quickly, wanting to see Hazel and make sure she was okay.

Arriving in the back room that connects it to the park, Lynx then opened the rusty door with a grim. It instantly displays a vast expanse of green grass.

His eyes rolled quickly, looking around for where his lover was. On the big tree with its thick leaves, they were there. Lynx's bead narrowed, incarnating her gaze, observing Princess Ren's suspicious-looking movements.

When she found out that the woman with the snake around her neck was thrusting a small bottle at Hazel, that was where Lynx's bad thoughts could no longer be controlled.

All the fruits that were in both hands, Lynx just dropped it. Running as fast as lightning towards them, afraid that Princess Ren would harm her lover.

“Stop!”

“Seez from my lover!”

Lynx managed to stand next to Hazel, immediately embracing her body to be held in her arms, slightly giving Princess Ren some distance.

The confused Hazel immediately looked at him, asking for an explanation. “Lynx? What was? Why are you suddenly running around here?”

“What water would you give Hazel?” lynx's spray was impatient, her hunting breath was still unstable. His sharp eyes continued to stare at Princess Ren without blinking.

“Oh, this?” Princess Ren was still calm, even though she had suspected that Lynx would be suspicious. “Quiet, this is just a nausea reliever for pregnant women. Indeed I concoct it myself, but I dare guarantee that it is safe for your lover.”

“Long!” lynx, still can't believe it.

Hazel, who felt bad for Lynx's reckless behavior and immediately concluded, hurriedly pinched the man's waist until she let out a scream, their eyes met soon after.

“What are you doing? Pain know!” lynx lamented, her hand coming down from Hazel's shoulder, moved to wipe her still throbbing waist.

“I should have asked you. Why are you suddenly here? Suddenly suspected like that to Princess Ren. He was good, we had a long chat. So, you better apologize. Now!” force Hazel, slightly pushing Lynx's body closer to Princess Ren.

As a gentleman and unwilling to be considered bad, Lynx had to do it. Although at first he only wanted to make sure that Hazel was okay, but the way she used it was wrong.

“Ma-forgive me.” Lynx swept a glance, unwilling to stare at Princess Ren's green bead. “I'm just worried about my lover. After refusing an arranged marriage, I was afraid that you would get angry and hold a grudge, in the end you hurt Hazel.”

Lynx took out all the uneg-uneg in his heart, all the bad thoughts that had stuck in his mind he explained blatantly to the girl who had been betrothed to him.

Princess Ren responded with a laugh, one hand shut her mouth, her eyes lost drowning in her sweet smile. “What are you talking about?” His laughing voice had not disappeared, so he could not immediately explain.

“Before I go home, it seems like I have to explain properly to you. Honestly, I'm glad I didn't marry you. So, thank you for rejecting that matchmaking.”

There was a sigh of relief heard from Lynx's mouth, enough to calm him down when he heard those words from her.

“There are other men I like. And I'm so glad you fell in love and decided to live together. I'm amazed by your struggle, surely it's not easy not to get to this point? Up ahead there, there are still many obstacles that you have to face.”

Princess Ren further confirmed her smile, holding her breath for a while as she walked forward on the pair of lovers standing before her. Pulling one of their arms, he held them together, telling them to hold each other. Ren's hand was on top of both of their hands.

“Just calm down, I'll be on your side. As much as possible I'll help. And I believe, a man of high courage like Lynx is proven to be able to take any risk or how dangerous it is for him if it concerns the safety of his lover.”

Now the view of Princess Ren is more focused on Hazel, something is implied from the radiance of her eyes. “As a woman from Lynx, you must continue to encourage her and make her believe that all problems can be passed well. Remember, he's not just fighting for you.”

Princess Ren's hand moved, touching Hazel's flat stomach. “There's your baby she's fighting for, too. More than that, the fate of the Foxion Kingdom was also within his grasp at the moment. It was so hard, I know that. But since she is Lynx Darellyn, I believe she can definitely do her best.”

Hazel was gaped to awe, the words of Princess Ren had just penetrated the recesses of her soul, making her spirit that had withered suddenly refreshed like a flower that had been watered with water.

Without saying anything, Hazel immediately hugged him firmly. It did not matter that there was a snake coiling around the woman's neck. His mouth was silent, but in his heart he kept repeating his words of thanks. Hazel realizes that there are still good people in this country.

Lynx who was observing the two of them, could only smile. His view of Princess Ren who he had always considered as an unpleasant woman because it looked mysterious as if storing a ruse, this second all of it crashed just like that.

“Oii!”

“What are you doing there?”

The echoes of someone from a distance distracted their attention, both turning to the source of the sound. Seeing Jack waving in front of the gate. Before long, the long-haired man came closer.

Although Jack's age can be said to be mature, still the charm of his good looks can not be denied. Everyone admits, Jack is a man who has a definition of handsome but beautiful.

Her tall slender body was clad in an oversize white shirt that accidentally left two of her top buttons open, revealing a field chest with her smooth white skin exposed. The brownish cardigan he sipped on his shoulder was seen dangling, occasionally blushing the wind.

Princess Ren who saw it, did not know why even suddenly lowered his gaze. His cheeks were reddened, inwardly he continued to curse because blushing did not know the place.

“Why did you know we were here?” lynx asked after her distance with Jack had thinned.

“It's easy. Just follow the fruits splattered on the floor. You did it, right?”

Lynx grinned while scratching her head.

“I came here because I got a message from the bodyguard who accompanied Princess Ren. They ask you to come home soon, the King may be worried about you,” he said.

Princess Ren cleared her throat for a while, acting normal again. “Well, it's time for me to go home. Can you take me all the way to the front?”

Jack bent his body. “Without reducing respect, instead I want to reject Princess Ren's request. But, there are things I want to do with Prince Lynx here.”

Her little heart felt pinched, I don't know how disappointed it felt. But for the sake of covering everything well without leaving suspicion, Princess Ren widened her smile to understand.

“Let me take Princess Ren to the front,” Hazel said while raising her hand, making Princess Ren look at her straight away. “You guys I want to pick up some fruits already taken by Lynx.”

“Ah, thank you very much. Sorry to bother you,” Princess Ren's reply.

“No problem. Let's get out of here,” Hazel, let Princess Ren walk first.

After the two began to walk away, Jack immediately expressed what he wanted to say and do with the man he had considered like his own son.

“Ehem,” deham Jack, took over the attention of Lynx who was busy staring at the backs of the two women who had just left.

“Can you explain to me what your plan means? But before that, why did you bring me into such a difficult situation that we hadn't even planned? You know the risk of your promise to the King?” scatter Jack, his hands are put on his waist.

Jack was exactly like the mothers who were scolding his naughty son.

Lynx gulped. His eyes looked everywhere. How does he explain it to Jack?

“A-anu, the..”.
