Chapter 45

Nathan's threat got to them. And they both know that that threat is not one that is to be taken lightly. Vixen feels Nathan has gotten too bold for a man who doesn't even live in Southland. She wonders what they exactly he has backing up him to think he can transcend them upon their own lands and make allegations. It was quite a very dangerous thing for him to do.To outrightly threaten a woman and man who were both socialists from this country. In fact, it made no sense to her. And she wanted to understand it by every bit as she shared that she needed to put work into understanding why exactly I wanted a beat and why he was on our neck.She waits in front of the shop just after lord Nathan has passed and Hunter comes out next, and she faces him."Quit thinking about it." Go on for now and I will make sure to find out more about him. And what exactly he is unto? Hunter says and Vixen nods in understanding as she unfolds her hands.This is not what she expected today, she wanted to laugh with Hunter and talk about the things they have decided to do. And the stage they have decided to reach out to each other. But she guesses that there is still a mountain that needs to be climbed.And the name just happens to be Nathan, Vixen exits as she enters into the carriage and it's back to the estate. She steps into the house and it's silent as normal, she doesn't expect there to be number of noise but she also knows that ever since the marriage alliance has been broken there will be some difference between the way things were normally managed and the way they would be managed now.She wonders how long this awkwardness would suffice. At the end of the day, it wasn't supposed to be something that brought about. This manner of awkwardness was simply because she stated the truth about the alliance and she thinks it is really supposed to be something that proves to drive a wedge between the two families and yet it has proved to be just that.Vixens thinks much of how the problem came about and she wonders if he her father is still on her side, or if he is, at the end of the day, sad for what they have lost in respect to the marriage that was supposed to happen.She closes her eyes as she steps into the house and enters into the kitchen where she pours herself a glass of water. She thinks about all that Nathan had said and wonders if that would really be a challenge she and Hunter. That was the last thing she wanted.And there she was thinking there was het freedom, standing by her door but yet she is unable to be free because of what society deems she should follow. No one had the right to tell her what she could go after and what she couldn't.And also what she was supposed to follow. It is the most outrageous thing just after breaking a marriage between her and the King. The fact that she has to face the people of Southland because of a union with a king.What's manner of entitlement was this? The people really think they could say what they wanted to say I should have to shift their life to such a way it wasn't going to happen. She wasn't going to allow such this connection especially from the newfound freedom she's getting.She was against allow the people to use her as an example to strengthen their sickening laws or whatever Southland, she did not break the ties with the king does fall into another ditch that would tell her how to live her life.Vixen thinks as she gulps the water down her throat and steps out of the house. She steps out of the kitchen and her father is right there.Vixen.He says that she finds worry in his eyes as he looks over her father.Yes? Vixen says to him and she walks towards him.You're back home. He says to her and she nods her head in agreement?Yes. Did you not want me to come back home especially now that I will not be getting married as you're doing to me too. She says to him, and he has a smile on your face as he begins to walk closer to her.Do you really think I want to get rid of you so easily? He says and she looks at him."Who knows what you want to do, father." Vixen says and he smiles as they walk together into the receiving room.How have you been? He says to her and she looks at him."I have been well or what should I call it? I've been doing good, particularly scared that we would be judged for what I've done.""It has happened at the end of the day. All I wanted to do was caught off an engagement that wasn't beneficial to me in any way. " At the end of it I did not care about the throne of King and it's wasn't going to make up for the lack I have in my heart, what are material things power and authority.Would they really give me happiness? I thought to myself, Should I really sacrifice myself for all of this? I thought I really really did think and as I continue to think I realized it wasn't going to bring me perpetual happiness. And I took a decision to cut it off.Vixen says to her father. So tell me what's the relationship with hunter? What did the two of you have with one another?He says to her as she freezes immediately when he asks her that question. She doesn't know how to immediately."Father, I've never really spoken about Hunter to you before." I have said a couple of things but not one that postulates anything that may have been romanticSo, what do you think father? She asks him and he looks at her."I do think that the both of you have a friendship that I've never seen you have a man have with my daughter before and I just want to know what my daughter is doing." So, tell me what is the friendship about? He says to her and she looks at her hands before she answers.Are you going to replace the king with him?Father, for goodness sake. The King is not an object. And neither is Hunter! She says and he looks at her."Well, when you say it like that it sounds like you're protecting Hunter. You see when you say the king's name there was no hesitation whatsoever. But when you choose to speak of Hunter."I hear ten whisper in your voice that has all the answers I need. Vixen, you do realize that he is advanced in age. He says to her and she looks her father in his eyes.Yes, there is. "And honestly that is the list of the things I care about. I care more about cutting myself from an alliance I do care for than bringing myself into a place where I'm not sure I belong.Sincerely, father with Hunter's presence in my life I do not have to I do not have to pretend to seek love and emotion and whatever it is that comes with all of that. My heart feels safer and everything that I hold on to you know what father? For the first time in my life, I moved around in society and whatever they said did not shame me."Even when the society people get to say something that is untrue." And unfair. I have to believe that they know what is best and how I should act when I was still in alliance with the king but now that I'm not bound to the king anymore."What they say is the least of my concern. And the only thing that matters is what I say about myself. What do I think about my life? Where do I want to see myself improve? For the first time I'm thinking about myself, no judgment.No infringement upon my life's decision and it is the best feeling. Just myself and trust me it feels good. Biden says and she closes her eyes before she continues speaking, it feels as if she is letting go of a very heavy burden off her shoulders the more she keeps talking.Vixen, my dear. I have wronged you. Her father says as he stares at her.I should have tried to know if you wanted it, if your mother were here, you would never face to face this in the first place.Would you find it in your heart to forgive me? Richard says to his daughter.
