Dragon King's Harem Chapter 53. Ued Meeting III

  I looked at Jyne who was sitting beside me with furrowed brows. Meanwhile she was eating my dy. Her face flushed and her head bowed in shame. Occasionally, she sobbed either in shame or sadness. She had used her cloak to hide her tails. Her hahe dy stick like a kid. I also caught her eyes stealing g me several times. Previously she had returned my money poud apologized to me, also admitting that she had do because she was too hungry. She fessed when she saw me buying the dies with a silver , she thought I was a good rich man. So she decided to steal my money and that was the first crime she itted.

  Although this was our first meeting, based on my memory, I knew her as the only princess of the Fox tribe, moreover, she was the you. Her four brothers were four strong warriors who guarded their tribe from the four cardinal dires and each was entrusted with a rge army to keep the tribe safe. Which made me even more fused, why did she run away since I was sure she got a lot of prote from her father and brothers. It seemed that this was also one of the reasons why she acted recklessly without thinking about the sequences. It was because she was used to being spoiled, also it was the reason why her endurance was kinda… Pathetic.

  Regarding my dy, even though in the modern world accepting stranger's food and drink was a foolish act si could be poisonous, it didn't matter for a fox tribe like her since her tribe had a sharp smell. So they could tell which poisonous food and drinks and which were not.

  "I-I'm sorry, sir ... Please don't report this to the guards." Her sobbing a were clearly heard in her voice.

  "I only sent my Magic Messeo my panion, not to the guards," I said since I wao find out why she was here."You're a princess, right? Why are you here? Where is your voy?" I repeated my question.

  “I came alone…” she said regretfully.

  "So you ran away from your pace?" I said straight to the point.

  She nodded her head without daring to look at me.

  "Why? Did something happen to the fox tribe?" It was unusual for a prio run away from her homend. But strangely, I also didn't hear any bad news about the Fox tribe when I checked cellor Aln's reports earlier. Although the Fox tribe didn't have an alliah Drais, the Dragon tribe and fox tribe had a longstanding tradiionship. That's why the Pace always kept an eye oribe's dition to make sure our traders and people were fine.

  She answered me by shaking her head from side to side.

  "Then what happened?"

  She g me one more time before l her head."It's because of my father ..."

  "What happened?" I asked with a frown. As I recalled, the fox king loved his children and there wasn't any bad sdal about his family.

  "My father wants to marry me to the prince of the Serpent tribe," she said with a pout.

  'The prince of the Serpent tribe?' My brain tried to remember what's wrong with that man, but I couldn't find it. Despite the Serpent tribe' had slightly intimidating appearah their terrifying tail and scales, they were a peaceful tribe."What's wrong with it?" I asked since I didn't find the problem of her father's choice.

  She looked at me in annoyance."My father wants to marry me to someone I don't love. Of course, that's wrong," she said with a pout.

  I frow her childish reason si was very dangerous for a prio escape from her kingdom, especially over this trivial reason."But your as could bring disaster to your family and your kingdom," I said without hesitatioe my current status as a oner.

  She paused for a moment before l her head again."I know ... It's just ... I want to feel true love." She lived in a luxurious pace with the servants who served her for 24 hours also getting prote from her father and brothers. Moreover, she was treated like an expensive diamond by her family, no other man could touch her so she had difficulty iing with the opposite sex. Since she had long siered puberty, of course, her curiosity to feel what it was like to fall in love with a man deepened. And the more they forbid her, the more her curiosity became. It was just, as royalty she had a hard time getting it since she would end up with an arranged marriage.

  A long breath came out of my mouth since I couldn't judge her if it reted to her feelings. I admitted that Igixar's royalty marriage was not somethiiful, it was so different from the fairy tales."Still, esg without a destination will only cost you. You ot run away from your family forever."

  She turo me with a frown."Of course I have a destination. Do you think I'm that stupid running away without a dire? Besides, I have prepared everything well," she said in displeasure.

  Hearing her words, my eyes observed her from her feet to her head. From her looks, it seemed like she was far from words well prepared. If it was not covered by her cloak, her fox tribe's royal clothes alone showed her status clearly. If she really prepared everything well, she should at least wear oner clothes."Let me guess, the only thing yht was money for your trip, " I said. And I was sure that money ran out since she kept getting lost here and there.

  "Of course not!" she retorted.

  But I replied with a look of disbelief, so she pressed her lips with a gloomy fad lowered her head."I mean ... Who khe outside world wasn't that easy ..."

  Her st words showed that my guess was correct. I turhe other way and chuckled since I couldn't take it anymore.

  "You really are annoying!" she said irritably. She stood with a pout and almost left but I caught her wrist.

  "The sun is almost set. It will be dangerous if you sleep outside. Tell me where yoing, I'll take you," I said as I swallowed the rest of my ughter. She was too o live alone like this, plus she had no money.

  She turo me in doubt."Do you really want to take me?" Her doubts were clear from the tone of her voice.

  "Yes, I 't possibly let a princess like you roam around aimlessly like this," I said.

  Jyne was silent iation. She could tell if the food oisonous or not, but she couldn't tell if someone was lying or not. Still, judging that rather than end up sleeping oreets like yesterday, the offer was very tempting to her. Besides, even though she wasn't sure, after she saw Argod buying the dies for the kids, it seemed like he retty good person. Also he didn't report her to the guards, even though she had stolen his money.

  "Don't worry, I'm not going to report it to the guards," I added.

  She looked at me and took her hand away from me."Then you take me ton Cross City? It shouldn't be far from here, but since I don't know which way, I don't dare to leave this town," she said in the same hesitation.

  "Do you have acquaintahere?"

  "No, I want to see the king."

  "For what?" I said with a frown. I had no e with the Fox tribe's royal family, of course, I was fused with it.

  "I want to be his wife."

  My eyes widened in surprise and fusion.
