âMeiâer, did anything happen while father here was away?â Hu Bud Weiâs question didnât get a direct answer, instead it causes the servants and maids that came with the fox lady to lower their hands in avoidance.
Hu Mei didnât miss the faces coming off of her people from behind. Slightly annoyed and slightly appeased at their willingness to follow her orders, she bits her lip and hurried to speak: âFather, nothing special occurred during your time away, only a woman coming around to make trouble for our house. But donât worry, your daughter I have already dealt with her and make that person leave.â
âHow come? Our family shouldnât have offended anyone of late.â
âOh, donât fret over it Father, itâs probably just because we are the fox clan and that woman wants to get close to the king through us. I easily saw through her plot and ended it on the spot.â
That greatly relieved Hu Bud Wei: âThatâs good then, donât let such woman near the king, especially when His Majesty has taken a queen now. Our family canât afford to offend Her Highness, otherwise we will be left with no place to go!â
âFather, how can the queen be that narrow minded?â Hu Mei asks with a raised eyebrow.
Even though many of the denizens of the Demon Realm only took one wife in their lifetime, including countless chiefs of the various racial groups, but itâs their king here. If a single woman gets to monopolize such a incredible male then its too much of a loss in this fox ladyâs opinion.
âMeiâer, the matters in the palace is not something we can judge or dictate. In any case, donât speak ill of the queen less the words reach that?oneâs?ear, it will only end with the suffering of our family. Also, they say the queen is peerless in her beauty so you need to stop thinking about the king.â
âFather!â Hu Meiâs eyes beamed a resilient light of unacceptance, âThose people are only exaggerating the queenâs contour because they want to flatter the woman. In terms of charming allure, who can match up to us foxes?â
The fox chief didnât agree with the idea and frowned: âMeiâer, no matter what the queen is still the kingâs woman.â
âI know, thatâs why I wonât be as stupid as my older sister.â Making waves with her incredible smile, âI will only have His Majesty fall in love with me naturally, I wonât do anything foolish like trying to force the matter. If he doesnât take action then of course I wonât do anything. I disdain forced emotion!â
Thereâs good reason for Hu Meiâs confidence. The fox race has an inherent ability to seduce and charm the other sex, making them the perfect play toys for men.
âSo Father, you donât have to worry about me, your daughter I knows what is good for our family and what is not to do. If the king really doesnât have me in his eye then I will give up on my own.â
âButâ¦â Hu Bud Wei still had a frown on his face due to the unease he felt, âI heard the king isnât allowing any woman who has thoughts for him near the palace.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âNow thatâs where you are wrong Father, no men will reject a womanâs love for them. As long as I donât make any move without his consent then its fine. What, am I not allowed to even have the right to love?â
Yes, as long as I express myself and not use dirty means then the king wonât treat me like my older sister.
After a moment of musing over that logic, Hu Bud Wei ends up snapping anyways: âNo! You are not allowed to do anything remotely risky. Iâve already got word from the king. Now the fox clan only needs to complete a mission for His Majesty to return to the Demon Realm, I wonât let you ruin this rare opportunity just because of your feelings.â Having said that, the fox chief then whisked his sleeve to begin turning away, but before giving one final warning look at his own daughter. âMeiâer, I donât care what happens in the future, but you better keep that emotion in check during this period!â
