The Village Girl And the Fox Prince

Chapter 49 - Challenges and Promises.

Finished wearing clothes, also had put a black eye patch on his left eye, Lynx then came out of the weapon storage. Leaving Jack who had asked not to be found until the next few days.

Before Lynx actually left, Jack also told her. Regarding the training in the following days, Jack had already given orders to Royal soldiers and warriors from other Kingdoms who would indeed join to be trained together.

Given the thinning time, there could have been a dawn attack carried out by the Maggie Kingdom without warning or warning first. So Jack doesn't want to waste time, he gives Lynx the confidence to train other foxes and other demons for a few days.

Walking a little stagger into the palace, Lynx was immediately treated to the gazes of those with curious faces. The servants gathered, marching randomly with occasional glances to each other to whisper.

Trying to ignore them, but it seems Lynx can't just run away. Because in front of him now there is King Arandelle who blocked his path. On the right and left side were the twins, from their gazes they seemed to be demanding an explanation.

“What's up? Why are you looking at me like that?” Let it be, Lynx does not want to independently explain directly, deliberately so that they ask first.

“What's wrong with your eyes? And where were you all night? Why are you coming from behind? What have you done? Where's Jack? Aren't you guys always together?” The question was asked by his father.

Lynx bellowed violently, her ears feeling hot poked with many such questions. But because his entire body felt limp, a little energy was left, so Lynx did not want to make a mess.

“I took off my left eye, Mom said I'd make a new locket for me with those eyeballs. I don't know how. But from today until the next few days, he asked not to be found,” he replied as is.

Not wanting to wait for a reply from his father, Lynx without saying anything else just meleos straight away. He hits San's shoulder, which happens to be blocking the way, but there is no apology Lynx makes.

“Basic, you said I was disabled. But what are you now? You're even more flawed than me! Not having one eye, you ugly bastard! Live forever with that fucking blindfold!” San yelled, bringing up emotion.

Lynx who looks relaxed, stop the legs without turning the body. “Everyone knows that my position here is better. I lost one eye not because I was weak, but because of my sacrifice to this Kingdom.”

Looking up slightly, Lynx displayed a cruel smile. “Different from you, right? Your eyes are blind because you are weak. Remember, San. Our position is almost equal now. I'm the one you think is stupid for not being able to control magic, but look at the next few days. I'll make you pull your words back.”

With just such words, San was made unable to dwell. It was the first time he had seen Lynx as sure as he was when he said something. As if every sentence that came out of his mouth, could not be underestimated.

San became cornered, fearing that King Arandelle would think of giving Lynx his throne. It could be bad if it happened. In his mind, San was trying to devise some plans.

“... On the night before the war, let's fight for power. You're with your abilities, I'm with my own. I'm tired of being reviled by you, considered useless or something, so let's prove in front of everyone who is the strongest between me and you, San,” Lynx concluded, then continue his steps.

After Lynx died, San became upset himself. His fists look red making his fingernails whiten. The snapping on the jaws could be heard clearly.

While King Arandelle who heard and saw the incident just now, smiled mysteriously. He walked away leaving his two sons still in place.

“Dad, wait.” San followed, trailed by Sen from behind.

King Arandelle stopped the movement of his legs, but his body was still facing forward.

“There is something I want to talk to you about,” San said expressing his wish.

“About the crown prince's inauguration?”

Deg.

San did not expect that his father would immediately guess this matter on target. Making his heart race, should his father talk about it in front of the servants who are still loyal to watch?

“I think it would be better if I did the inauguration when the war was over. After this unrest and anxiety is no longer felt. Isn't that a good time? Just think about it, what do the residents say when I do the inauguration in a precarious condition like this?”

San was silent for a while, his previous guess on this matter seemed to be true.

“Are you going to guarantee that I will be your successor, Father?” San asked, trying to make sure of himself.

There was the sound of laughter from King Arandelle, I don't know what he was laughing at. “Since the beginning, who guaranteed you the crown prince? I admit that you are smart and your ambition in everything is always strong, but rules are rules that must be obeyed.”

“I thought Lynx would never return, so the last option to elevate you to crown prince was not bad. But now, hasn't things changed?”

“... But I'll rethink that you can maintain a position superior to Lynx. Come, San. Don't embarrass me. Haven't you been taking good care of me all this time? Don't lose to Lynx I never noticed as a kid.”

The end of King Arandelle's words managed to squeeze the little heart of San, for the first time he was made hurt by the words of his own father. As long as he lived, he had never been treated like this.

“Hh, damn,” sizzle San quietly, bowing your head while tightening your jaw to hold back the upset.

Sen, who can't do anything for his twin brother, just pats San on the shoulder to calm him down a little.

“Don't give up, you can definitely prove yourself superior. I'm always on your side, San.”

“Hazel?”

“I'm home. Are you inside?”

Lynx fiddled around looking at the whole room. Empty churning. He thought Hazel wasn't in the room, probably having breakfast with Aluka downstairs. So he came down to see her.

But suddenly his intention was stopped because he heard the bathroom door that opened, featuring his girlfriend who had just cleaned herself. Hazel came out with only a towel on her body, the surface of her skin was slightly wet.

As their eyes met, Hazel reflex ran towards Lynx. She stretched out her arms, hugged her tightly and was satisfied. Not wanting to let go before his worries and longings run out.

“You've been anywhere? You left last night without telling me first. I'm confused, very worried about you. Last night too I heard a sound like an explosive.”.

Hazel's voice grew weaker and stopped speaking as the man's fingers touched his chin line, raising his gaze to keep their gaze unbroken. Keep holding the end of the chin, unexpectedly Lynx kissed the chewy object.

Cup.

“Good morning, Hazel. I'm sorry for last night. I promise, it won't happen again,” Lynx said as she scrolled sideways, feeling guilty.

Hazel's center of vision was fixed on the eye patch that was attached to her lover's left eye, her mind so guessed what she closed her eyes for.

“Why?”

Lynx's forehead flinched, not understanding.

“Matau why? Why covered? Are you hurt? Here let me see,” asked Hazel while cupping Lynx's cheek, her legs tiptoed to reach her easily.

Before Hazel actually opened the blindfold, Lynx held her arm. Inviting him to speak correctly, leading him to sit on the edge of the bed.

“Maybe you will be surprised to know that I lost my left eye,” said Lynx, confused about where to start to tell stories.

Sure enough, the surprised expression was clearly drawn on Hazel's face. “Why can? Who made you that way?”

“Hei, relax.” Lynx rubbed Hazel's shoulders, her body getting closer to her. Scraping the remaining distance. “This is not a bad thing. I did it for this Kingdom. I promised to take responsibility, didn't I? I really did it.”

“Ta-but how can..”.

Lynx smiled to calm down, then brought her lover to be hugged. “Why? You're no longer in love if I only have one eye?”

Hearing this, Hazel's chest rumbled violently. I don't like being accused like that.

“Stupid! Where could I be like that!” Hazel pushes Lynx's body, letting go of her embrace violently.

“Then what?”

“I'm worried! After the eyes, then what else? You sacrificed too much. I'm afraid that you're being used. I'm afraid they'll do something to you. Don't associate my love with something like this, it has nothing to do, ”, ''attack Hazel, her eyes start to glaze over.

“Hazel, I know you're worried about me. But please listen to me first.” Lynx turned her body to Hazel while looking at her fixedly.

“I am a fool, I am not worth it to all of them. But that doesn't mean I'm easy they tricked. From the beginning, this is my pure promise to bring peace to this Kingdom. Nothing to do with them.”

“... Me and Mom will take care of all this without their intervention. Until later I can prove to them that I am the one they always throw out, it can bring victory to the Kingdom, the final” of Lynx, hoping that Hazel can understand in outline.

Hazel, who was unable to say anything, just hugged her. Feeling the warmth of the embrace that he had not received from his lover for a long time.

Next to Lynx's big hand coming down to touch Hazel's belly, she stroked it gently there. His eyes closed, feeling comfort.

Hazel whispered, “I've always been amazed by the color of your beautiful eyes. Now I'm surprised to find out that you lost one eye. But in the same second I realized, that soon from my womb will be born a junior Lynx who will have eyes exactly like you.”

Lynx chuckled at her, getting closer and closer to her arms, occasionally giving kisses to Hazel's head crown.

“Yes, I can't wait for Lynx junior. I promise, after the war is over I'll marry you soon. We will take care of this child together.”

Hazel's head nodded. “Eum, don't force yourself. I just want you to fight with passion and come home safe. I don't care who will continue the throne of the Kingdom. I would rather live with you than live in the middle of worldly games.”

“Even if you don't sit on the throne to be with me?”

Hazel nodded again. “Yes. Simple life as long as with you, it is already much more.”
