The Village Girl And the Fox Prince

Chapter 46 - Rabbit Trial.

“So how are you going to explain all that to me, hm?” Jack was still waiting, looking at his interlocutor who currently looked riled up while nibbling on his lips.

Lynx turned her body, turned her back to Jack while rubbing her face. “You know, right? If I don't do it, I'll be hanged by my father. Not only that, Hazel will also be punished.”

“Then, your goal was to do that just to escape?” Jack concluded.

“Not,” rebut Lynx quickly, do not want to be misunderstood. “Of course that's not my only goal. I will give up all my strength and even my life to make things turn around, in order to win and bring peace in this country.”

Jack folded his hands, his fingers twitching his nose. Feel the dizziness that wrestles on the forehead. If only saying it was easy, but he was sure the reality would not be that easy.

“Why are you so sure? Just relying on your strength, do you think it will work? Maggie's kingdom is superior to ours. He even took half of our magic power, they have a lot of abilities, also a lot of troops. As for us, how?”

Lynx clucked violently, his ears feeling hot when he heard the babble. “That means you don't trust me?”

“Not believe it or do not matter which domed here. You are always reckless, making decisions without thinking about it first. The risk you took this time was very dangerous. You dare to risk your life, but will that guarantee that we will win?”

Lynx's body turned back on Jack, he showed her a crimson face. It appears that Lynx is holding back emotions. Being cornered by Jack, making him not accept.

He knows and understands that the man in front of him is very meritorious in his life, but it feels like this time Lynx is difficult to control himself not to fight.

“Then I have to how? Just be quiet when the war is waiting? You saw it for yourself, didn't you? My father and my brothers, they all only discuss the throne, descendants, not once thought about the war that will happen!” lynx shouted, her legs slowly advancing, while Jack continued to retreat.

“At least I'm trying from now on, rather than just being quiet and then sorry. I know you're worried, but I'm a grown man ready to take responsibility. If you don't want to be burdened by this problem, let me fend for myself think of how!” break up Lynx, close her words firmly.

Unwilling to wait for an answer, Lynx decided to leave. But there were not five steps to go, Jack made a sound and stopped his steps with reflexes.

“What about Hazel? If you die in a war, you will eventually part with him. Leaving sadness and maybe it's frustrating. Remember, in this world who dares to be her protector only you,” asked Jack, still trying to think realistically.

Lynx turned her head without turning her body, her eyes filled with confidence, “I still will not regret. Although she looks weak, Hazel is a tough woman. He knows he can raise our son well. He also began to be loved by good demons.”

Resignedly. Jack gave up on Lynx's persistence in holding up the decision. From a long time ago, Lynx always clung to what he believed. It's a waste if Jack keeps persuading him.

“I'm on your side. Let's fight together.”

The two long legs wrapped in shabby pants stopped again. But his body still had not turned around. The anger within him had faded. Slowly raise your eyes, looking straight ahead.

His hearing caught the sound of Jack's footsteps approaching. Before long, his head was briefly hit by the man. Making Lynx grimace softly while stroking his throbbing head.

While walking past Lynx's body, Jack spoke, “Don't complain. I'll be tough on training you. Reduce your sleep time, at least a day you can only sleep for three hours. This time you're not just practicing using your physical strength. I have another idea.”

Lynx frowned, observing the back of Jack who was already standing in front of her. “If it wasn't just physical strength, it meant that I would learn to control magic? But isn't that futile? We've tried it a thousand times, haven't we?”

Jack laughed lightly. “It's true. But with a different method. If you can't, then I'll push. Since it was the only possible way to defeat the Maggie Kingdom.”

“... As you know, we've already lost the number of troops. Even if we join the Oxra Kingdom, it will still be difficult for us to win. That's why I'm going to use a new method. It could be said that you are a guinea pig,” to the end, a little ambiguous for Lynx to understand.

Jack turned around, showing a confident smile. “Will fail if the body to be tested is weak. But I believe that you can do it.”

***

It'll be dark in a minute, but Lynx isn't back yet. Since this afternoon, Hazel has not seen him again. A little worried, Hazel decides to visit him to the back garden.

Aluka has not seen him again, Hazel gets bored if she has to stay in the room alone. Walking saggingly, trying to calm down even though there were some fox demons who accidentally looked at him. They were busy palace servants.

Arriving at the back garden, Hazel sees for herself that Lynx is focusing on training with a sword that is swung firmly. But where's Jack? The man did not practice.

Wailing for a moment, it seems that her lover was unaware of Hazel's arrival.

“Halo?”

Damnit. Hazel's heart almost jumped out of place. A heavy baritone that suddenly appeared from behind his body left Hazel shocked to death.

When I looked, it was Jack. He waved his hand while laughing.

“Ah, forgive me. Didn't mean to surprise you. Did you come here to see Lynx?” jack asked as he stepped forward to align his body with Hazel.

“Eum, yes. Is he still not allowed to rest? Hasn't she been here since noon?” Hazel asked back, her worried look so clear that it could be read by anyone.

Jack shook his head. “Darlingly, your Lynx should practice frequently from now on. Sorry I had to borrow Lynx for longer. Most likely she can't be by your side at all times.”

There was disappointment in Hazel's heart when she heard it, but she realized that it was all Lynx's attempt to turn things around. And all his efforts were about him too. So Hazel doesn't want to be selfish.

“It's okay. At least I know she's safe here with you. I was only worried that he was being colonized by his brothers or his own father,” replied Hazel with an awkward smile.

Jack laughed at hearing that, making the tense atmosphere here instantly disappear. “He's not a kid. You don't have to worry too much. Just trust him, he'll be fine.”

Hazel nodded in understanding. “Good.”

Seeing Lynx so good at playing with his sword, Hazel was amazed. I just saw his girlfriend's side like that for the first time. His muscular body was already drenched in sweat, a little dark as it had been for almost a whole day continuously standing in the sun.

“Since when can Lynx use a sword?” ask Hazel.

“From childhood, I trained him. He was indeed weak not even having the slightest talent for controlling magic. But he easily learns new things. Not just using swords, archery while riding or martial arts.”

“... He had even killed just by throwing a single punch. The older he gets, the better. Not in vain I plead under the King's feet just to let him live,” continued Jack, his amazed gaze kept on Lynx.

Glancing at Hazel, Jack spoke again, “You want me to tell you some stories about Lynx in the past?”
