The Village Girl And the Fox Prince

Chapter 72 - The Other World.

Aluka's lips trembled in fear, looking at the little baby who had just walked out of Hazel's leg gap. “Di-he didn't cry. Hey, is he alive?”

Princess Ren rushed over, walking in a hurry to get into the spring. It almost slipped due to carelessness, but the vines that appeared from within the water held its body.

Standing next to Hazel, Princess Ren first took the little baby. Take him into the sling. He stared at Hazel once in a while. The woman was unconscious.

Or maybe Hazel is...

No. gabe. Princess Ren will make sure that Hazel is okay. She believes Hazel collapsed from exhaustion. But what about the baby she just gave birth to? Why no reaction? Even a single tear, or even as small as a sound, nothing came out.

Princess Ren brought her index finger closer to the baby's nostril. Feeling the warm, though thin, breath. She lived. It's just that the condition is weak and not as normal as babies in general.

Afterwards, Princess Ren placed her palm on the baby's chest. His heart thump could be felt even though it was just a small tremor. Really weak. Whether Hazel or the baby she was born with, both need help.

“He's alive. The baby Hazel was born with was quite different. Surprisingly, along with this baby was born the phenomenon of red moons appeared. You know what this all means, Aluka?” aluka asked, she held the baby in her arms.

Aluka shook her head slowly, unsure. “Either by chance or what. But in the past, according to the story I heard, when Brother Lynx was born there was also a phenomenon like this.”

Princess Ren nodded. “Yes, I know that story. I'm sure this baby will be as good as his father. Lynx's descendants will make new history. The race differences between demons and humans united in one descendant the first time it occurs, will certainly be an uproar story in the future. Maybe one day, history will change. We no longer need to hate humans.”

Aluka manggut-mangut agrees. He leaned over, wanting to see more clearly his new niece. The little baby opened his mouth for the first time, looking funny even though he did not make a sound.

“His eyes are still closed. I'd love to see what the color of her eyeballs is. Is it like Lynx or maybe Hazel? Which is the most powerful gene this baby carries? Ugh, I'm very curious,” cerocos Aluka is so enthusiastic.

Princess Ren laughed. “Can you hold her for a moment? I have to check on Hazel. My friend has concocted the potion. I also need to find clothes for this baby. The night breeze is very cold, if Hazel is unconscious it can be dangerous because this baby will be cold. She must be hungry too.”

“Good. Give it to me, I'll carry it.” Aluka stretched out her arms, taking over the little baby. After being in the deck, he patted gently on the baby's back.

The friend of Princess Ren who helped, came all the time, wanted to give her something. A small object wrapped in leaves he gave to Princess Ren.

“It's honey. It could be given to the baby. He didn't cry, it was weird. He should have been breastfed immediately, but since the mother is still unconscious, just give the honey first,” he said.

Princess Ren accepted it with a smile. “Thank you. But I don't think what happened to baby Hazel is strange. He's just different. But I am sure, behind his birth will bring blessings to the land of Foxion, also our country, which has been destroyed by the enemy.”

Focus on Hazel. Princess Ren looked at the pale shade with eyes that began to glaze over. Holding a vein in Hazel's hand, she felt her pulse begin to weaken. There was a feeling of worry that slipped within the chest.

Shifted slightly to get closer to Hazel's ears, then Princess Ren whispered. “You have successfully fought. But let's fight once more, Lynx wants to see you after winning the war. And your son certainly needs a mother figure. I know, you're a great woman, Hazel.”

Unfortunately, after a few minutes of waiting for Hazel to wake up. All sorts of potions he drank on Hazel, hoping that the woman would open her eyes, but it turned out that the breath coming out of her nose was no longer felt by Princess Ren.

Checking the veins in the hands and neck, the previously weakened beat, suddenly disappeared now. Hazel may never be able to open her eyes again. He will not be able to see the baby he has successfully delivered.

“What's up? What happened to Hazel? Why was Princess Ren daydreaming with a blank look? Don't worry me, tell me what happened!” cecar Aluka was impatient, he started to feel a strange premonition.

“Cannot be!” cut Aluka. “You said he was still breathing. He's still fine. You might be mistaken, he's just tired and needs a little longer rest. Let's just wait, I'm sure Hazel will definitely open her eyes again.”

Princess Ren wished that too. But everything is broken when Hazel's entire skin surface begins to feel cold. So, what else can be expected? Hazel herself was no longer breathing.

Again and again, should this time the bitter taste of a lost return they felt?

His eyes blinked. His eyes began to open perfectly. When receiving light stimulation, he narrowed his eyes while closing them with the palm of his hand. Looking around, he didn't know where.

Suddenly he woke up in a bright grassland. A gentle breeze came greeting the pores, soothing the atmosphere. Looking around, there was no one. There's only himself here.

“I am where?” He muttered, starting to sit his body. Looking at both of his palms, suddenly the back of his head felt a sharp pain.

A glimpse of the previous memories flashed in the memory of the head. His lips began to smile wryly. His gaze began to blur, his chest suddenly felt narrow and tight. Clear threads began to wet both of his cheeks.

“So this is the end of my life? I should still be fighting. Still have to fulfill my promises to bring the Foxion Kingdom to victory. But now I'm instead.” Lynx was unable to continue her words, she grew more and more obnoxious in tears.

Lynx thought he was dead by now. It is in another nature. Can't go back to his world. Or maybe it's just an illusion? And it could be that Lynx is being delivered to a place that becomes his subconscious.

Removing all his tears left on the surface of his face, after which he hurriedly got up, stood up to explore this place he still did not know. Started to walk, down a beautiful place but not once did he see anyone else here.

“I don't see anyone here. But, why do I hear the voice of someone singing?” Lynx sharpened her hearing, feeling familiar with the sound of singing that sounded echoing but far enough away.

Through the bushes, the wilderness, downstream of the river, until finally he found a waterfall. Lynx was sure, the singing voice came from behind this waterfall in front of her. The sound of the song is chanted with a sad rhythm, sounding heartbreaking. It was as if the singer was feeling a deep sense of sadness.

Successfully penetrating the waterfall, Lynx was amazed by what he saw. What an incredible sight. Clear water to the knee he had to pass through to get to the surface of a large tree, and only the big tree was illuminated by the sun.

The back of a singing person was behind a tree, beginning to be seen in Lynx's view. She is a woman. The owner of a beautiful voice that chants melodious rhythm but so bitter. The clothes he was wearing, reminded Lynx of someone.

“Ti-impossible. Don't-don't.” Lynx shut her mouth, her guess turned out to be true. It turns out that he who was singing earlier was Hazel, his lover and soulmate.

“Hazel? Why are you here? And stomach ... Have you given birth?” Lynx moved quickly, stepping hastily to get up there.

The wavy orange haired woman turned her head, the corner of her eyes looking wet. There is a sad look created there, but now it has been mixed with a surprised expression when he meets Lynx.

“Lynx?”
