Exiled: What is she?

✧Chapter 1✧

17 years later - Present

Free territory, close to the human town

Girl's POV

I'm exhausted. I've gotten up as soon as the sun rose to go hunting, I've spent half the morning trying to find something for lunch and dinner. But no, the spoiled little brat doesn't want to eat rabbits because he says they are so cute and cuddly.

"I'm sorry, my Lord, for not getting you a deer" - I said loudly grumbling, kicking a stone - "but it's not the season." - I jump from the edge of the forest to the road that leads to the village.

Someone explain to me why I spoil him so much. He should eat what I give him. Yes, I also feel sorry for bunnies, but if he wants to survive, he will have to eat whatever. Oh! But those eyes that he makes like an abandoned puppy.

I head to the nearest human town to buy meat with the little savings I had saved for emergencies. I avoid crossing the territories taken, as it would bring me problems and I prefer to keep a low profile.

Arriving at one of the entrances to the town, I pull up the hood of my black tunic and head towards the butcher shop. This tunic is one of my favorite clothes, although I don't have a lot of clothes, it was the first gift I received from Joohyuk, a few months after we met when I mentioned my fear of exposing myself to people.

I go up to Mr. Cho, the butcher, and ask him for a piece of beef. He tells me a new price from when I was here last time. It is out of my budget.

"It has increased? Not long ago I was here". - I said frowning- "I can't afford it" - I sighed- "Is the pork at the same price?" - I hate pork.

"I'm sorry dear, but the distributor raised the prices of the cuts of meat, therefore, I must increase my prices" - said Mr. Cho, looking at me with pity.

Almost everyone in the villages I visit knows that I am a poor orphan who lives in a cabin near the forest. ERROR! I live in a cave in the middle of the forest. Which is sadder, but you get used to it.

"I heard that you do work in exchange for food or some money" - continued Mr. Cho, looking at me thoughtfully - "I will give you some pork and some small pieces of meat that people do not buy if you help me to lower the boxes of chickens that arriving in a while. My employees come in late today and I can't alone ".

"Done!" - I told the butcher without much thought.

━━━━━✧❂✧━━━━━

I swear this is the last time I will indulge that spoiled omega. All my muscles ache. As people say, the years do not come alone. I lower the last box of the Crescent distributor truck and leave it at the back door of the butcher shop, where Mr. Cho is already waiting for me with a bag with the agreed-upon. I thank him and go home.

On the way, I pass a greengrocer's and I see that he has some delicious oranges in sight, Jisung likes them very much and has been hinting that he needs vitamin C for tissue repair. Astute little, he knows how to play. I approach the seller and ask him for half a kilo of oranges, I don't want to spend all the bills I have. He gives me the oranges, but before I go he asks me a question.

"You are the girl who lives near the forest, right? "-He asks cautiously.

"Yes. why?" -I looked at him narrowing my eyes. I don't like curious people.

"People have told me that you do certain.... herbal remedies "-he says thinking the words carefully-" One of my youngest children has respiratory problems and the treatment is very expensive, I would like to know if you would have ... something to help him. My wife and I are looking for cheaper alternatives, although I would not accept things from people who are not trained to deal with medicinal matters, they say that you are good at what you do. -He says analyzing me and quickly adds- I can pay you with some merchandise.
