Antagonists Want to Be Happy too
14
A few years ago before the incident Dylan drove Ronan family, more precisely when Dylan was 12 years old and Teri was 8 years old.
The day of hunting has begun, the day that the men will compete to catch the results of their hunt, which they will give to loved ones.
Dylan, who was one of the youngest participants, could only stare flatly as the Homounculus Emperor, his father, was giving a speech to the citizens present there.
"PRINCE!" shouted one of the ladies there.
"Prince... Look over here!"
"Prince, I'm sure you'll win!" sahut another miss.
"Whisper!"
Dylan instantly turned his face away as the few women who were there gave himself some spirit.
"What's the Prince?" ask one of the soldiers standing behind Dylan.
"I'll be away for a while, it's too noisy here" replied Dylan who immediately left from there.
Unwilling to care about the screams of the women, Dylan went straight from the crowd of participants who made himself feel claustrophobic.
"Finally... I can be free too."
With a light step Dylan walked down the outskirts of the forest, from his eyes he could see several bands of various colors that had been tied to the trunk of the tree to indicate which region was safe and unsafe.
Still walking, Dylan noticed the surroundings that so many birds perched on the tree trunk that even the sounds of some animals there could still be heard, like the sound of a monkey, the sound of the footsteps of other animals.
The srek!
Dylan was instantly speechless when he was confronted by a large male deer that was also staring at him.
"Wow..."
With such a slow movement, Dylan took out his sword which was still wrapped neatly in his sheath.
When he wanted to stab the stag, suddenly a very strong scream was heard, making the deer go along with himself who turned to the source of the sound.
"PLEASE!"
Without thinking for a long time Dylan immediately ran towards the source of the sound, his wide stride made some twigs and also the dry leaves that were there to make a sound.
"PLEASE!"
The voice was increasingly clear, until he finally arrived at the scene, his eyes immediately opened wide when he saw a large bear was facing directly with a woman who was sitting on the ground.
"He's... Isn't she the daughter of Lord Duke?" dylan asked as he looked at the face of the girl.
"Agh! T... HELP!" tekik Teri who was so scared.
Teri's eyes continued to shed tears of fear as the bear began to take a swing to pounce on her.
"T... HELP!" Teri continued to shout even when her voice wanted to run out, she did not stop to continue shouting.
The srek!
Teri's eyes immediately opened wide when he saw the bear's head had been detached from his body, making the blood of the animal go out everywhere to dirty the dress he was wearing.
Teri's eyes were still wide open as the body of the bear had fallen before him, making him reflexively instantly rewind his sitting position.
"What... You okay Miss?" ask Dylan.
"Yes...,"
After the incident Teri immediately fell unconscious in front of Dylan, making Dylan immediately surprised when he saw Teri who had suddenly fainted.
...~*~...
In the afternoon when the sun began to sink, Teri opened her eyes slowly when she saw Dylan who was so busy with his work.
"Egh..."
"You're sober?" dylan asked when he heard Teri's voice.
"Pa...Prince?"
Teri immediately sat down when she found out that the man who had helped her was Dylan.
"I'm sorry Prince, who's already made you a hassle."
"It's okay, it's good that if you're conscious, then we can go back to the gathering point" replied Dylan who had returned to his feet.
"Ah... Da... Sa...Agh..."
"You why?"
"Looks..."
"Can you still walk?" ask Dylan.
Teri just fell silent with her head lowered, "Yes." Teri replied without thinking.
"Well, if you stand up so quickly, because it's dark, we have to hurry back if we don't want to make others worry."
"Yes," replied Teri who immediately tried to stand up.
"God..."
"You why?" dylan asked, looking back at Teri.
"Ka... My leg hurts Prince, I'm sorry. sepe-"
"Good!"
"Yes?"
"Well hurry, before I have a fruitful thought."
Teri's eyes immediately opened wide looking at Dylan who was giving his back to him riding.
"Hurry up!"
With a doubt, Teri immediately hugged Dylan's neck slowly, making his heart immediately pound, when the scent of Dylan's body was so stinging that he was kissed.
"That's..."
"Imagine if we go back without bringing any souvenirs?" dylan smiled.
"Hold this, watch out if you dare to drop it!" threaten Dylan.
Getting a threat from Dylan, Teri can only obey when Dylan tells him to hold the head of the bear he killed earlier.
So disgusting.
Teri looks unhappy when, Dylan told himself to hold the bear's head, in addition to being hairy, the bear's head also emits an unpleasant smell making himself like this vomit instantly.
"Hey!" call Dylan.
Teri immediately replied as Dylan called himself, "Yes Prince?" answer Teri.
"Reverse about you being attacked by a bear earlier... How did you get to this forbidden place?" ask Dylan.
"Based place? Ah... Perhaps more precisely I did not know that the place was off limits" Teri replied.
"You don't know? Do you know what the color of the ribbon tied to so many trees means?"
"Pita? Ah... Actually I don't know the exact meaning of the ribbon Prince."
"If you don't know, then why would you dare to walk alone into the forest?"
"That's... The ladies talk a lot about the white rabbit."
"What?"
"Yes the white rabbit! Rabbits that live in the forest" Teri replied.
"What... So just because of that you walked alone into the woods?" ask Dylan in disbelief.
Teri just smiled at Dylan's words, "Yes... That's... Because I like rabbits so much," Teri replied with a face that was smiling widely.
Hearing Teri Dylan's words back to silence, out of the way the ladies got the news that in this forest had a lot of rabbits, all he knew was that this forest had been specially designed by the Empire as a land for hunting matches, where in this forest only contained many wild animals.
"In this forest there are no animals like rabbits" Dylan said.
Hearing Dylan's words, Teri's eyes immediately hurt wide, "What? There are no rabbits?" tanya Teri made sure.
"True, in this forest only contains wild animals, which the Empire has designed as a hunting ground."
"What?"
"I don't know where you got the info that there's a rabbit in the woods, but... Whoever spreads the news will be punished for spreading false news in the empire!"
"What's? Ah... I don't think it's necessary Prince, they're innocent, I'm the one who's been sassy into the woods."
Dylan's steps suddenly came to a halt, making Teri instantly stare at Dylan's bewildered face.
"What's the Prince?"
"I don't think that a life is just one you take for granted."
"Yes?"
