It was a sunny day. A day when the sun is bright, but there are a few large clouds floating around, and if the light is too strong, the shadows pass by once in a while.
A moderately cool wind blows from the inside of the forest to the outside, making it a good day for hunting dogs to sniff and chase.
In short, it was a good day for hunting.
“Rather, it’s better to change it to hunting, right?”
When the aristocratic young lady holding a flower fan made by pressing only white flowers together opened her mouth, the boy holding the parasol instead answered.
Originally, it was a group of lower nobles who filled the meeting place earlier than the promised time.
“That’s right. But did you hear the news? Why did the tea leaves break this time?”
“Ah, I heard you. As a new guild of beastmen appeared on the Chavid side, the existing specialty products were concentrated on that guild.”
A surprised exclamation was heard at the words of someone who answered the boy’s question.
“Did the Beasts make the Merchant? oh my god… Who does business with them?”
“There are rumors that the Kruger family is giving full support… … .”
tongue-in-cheek That family can’t afford to spend money.
Although most of the aristocrats gathered here have connections, big or small, to the Kruger family, are indebted to them, or at least have taken out loans.
Was it because of that, or was the image of the original Kruger family like that?
“By the way, what does it have to do with the arrival of the Beastmen Merchant and the fact that the tea leaves are damp this time?”
“I guess it’s because the supply route is getting longer to find tea leaves that the Beast Merchant Merchants don’t handle from other Human Merchant Merchants.”
“… Then, in order to get fresh tea leaves from Chavid, you have to trade with the beasts, right? I hate it!”
Someone jokingly screamed as if they had seen a bug, and everyone followed suit and laughed out loud.
After laughing loudly for a long time, someone opened his mouth as if he had remembered something.
“Come to think of it, I heard that the Kruger family seal was on the list of invitations returned today.”
“oh my god. Is Gadia-sama coming?”
“really? It was my wish to have tea with him!”
Hearing that a member of the Kruger family would also participate, the aristocratic man who had spoken first laughed embarrassingly as he watched the young girls quickly pull out mirrors and the men fixing their clothes.
“That, from what I hear, is your younger brother.”
“to.”
“Mmm.”
The hands of those who were hastily looking in the mirror or fixing their hair slowed down, and then passed the things they were holding to the escort and attendant standing next to them.
“Isn’t this kind of gathering usually only for people who go to the academy?”
“Then, since nobles from other countries who often visit the capital or heirs who do not attend the academy for various reasons cannot come, it was a promise.”
At those words, everyone’s faces were crumpled. Ordinarily, no matter how noble aristocrats, living an openly profligate life is a disservice to the family name.
So it was common to have fun with your face covered, like a masquerade, with your eyes closed.
Besides, the so-called madness is also true. The higher the position, the easier it is to clean up, so it is natural that rumors do not spread, but Adelian of the Kruger family did the opposite.
One of the few grand duchesses in the empire who are known for being idiots. In addition, a trait that cannot be heard even after becoming an adult.
If that’s the case, then you’re saying you’ve got too much talent.
If you had a trait that shined too much, you would have boasted about it or decorated it with something appropriately decent and spread rumors, but the opposite is true.
‘I’ve already lost my relationship.’
‘Guardia is probably the next head of the Kruger family.’
From noble mtl dot com.
An idiot who no longer cares even in the family. He has a great lineage called the Kruger family, but his life is not good.
So, when everyone said that such Adelian was coming, everyone seemed to have lost steam, and someone laughed as if to lighten the mood.
“still… As far as appearance goes, she’s Gadia-sama’s blood and blood.”
“Well, the rest of the stories are ugly because it’s only when you get close. It would have been nice to have fun with the eyes.”
Did the conversation last that long? As the number of people increased, Sabrina, the daughter of Count Abril, who hosted the hunting festival, walked arm in arm with a girl with dark sapphire hair cut short to reveal the nape of her neck.
“Meet Princess Feia.”
“Meet the princess.”
“Thank you for inviting me, Miss Sabrina.”
“Miss Sabrina. It’s gorgeous today.”
Maybe it was because it was changed to a hunting party instead of the tea party scheduled for today. People gathered around Sabrina and Princess Feia, who were wearing riding breeches instead of dresses.
Sabrina grinned, as if the attention was pleasing, and Feia looked away as if she wasn’t interested.
“Thank you all for coming. Unfortunately, we have to have a tea party later, but let’s have fun with something else today, we.”
Others around her laughed hahahaha as Sabrina made a cute fist with her free hand and shook it from her chest.
“I will release several animals in the forest, but even if you don’t kill them, you can get points just by hitting the arrows.”
As Sabrina explained the hunting rules, Princess Feia gave a small yawn and twisted her body as if to slip away.
In response, Sabrina gripped Princess Feia’s arm and smiled as she opened her mouth again, but for a moment, everyone’s eyes were looking behind them, not Sabrina and Feia.
“Besides, one type of monster? Where are you looking?”
Sabrina jerked her head to see someone walking.
Blonde hair and blue eyes that seemed to be crushed by the light. His eyes and twisted corners of his mouth were more arrogant than those of the royal family who overshadowed his handsome features.
And the escort and attendant who follows him is an ugly man who can be said to be ugly and another man who is better than him but not very handsome.
Something flashed through everyone’s mind.
You take me with you because you’re worse than yourself.
“Am I a little late?”
A flirtatious tone. It’s a nice voice to listen to, but somehow it feels like you’re looking down on yourself.
Adelian, a blonde man, laughed at the disapproval of the majority of gazes.
“Why am I so handsome?”
* * *
I made a joke, but look at the atmosphere.
the kids don’t like it You don’t know the virtue of smiling in moderation.
The reason is obvious, but what does it matter? Anyway, I have something else to do today.
I glanced over at the slowly assembled children.
[Feia von Tateria – 9th Princess]
Representative Traits: [Flame (C)] [Love (B)]
Hidden Traits: [Fire Light (C)] [Beauty (D)]
Seal Traits: [Blue Flame (SS)] [Mana (B)]
Once the princess confirmed.
[Shaka – Puppet of the Evil Gods]
Also confirmed by potion users.
A girl with sand-colored hair and blue eyes was talking quietly behind the crowd, staring at each other.
Apparently, he drank a lot of potions and thought he was real.
‘Because it’s a hunting animal.’
Someone could get hurt and do it.
is not it?
“You are proud of your appearance even though you came late. You must be from the Kruger family.”
A soft laughing voice. But that would be sarcastic.
I tilted my head and smiled and met Sabrina’s eyes.
“that’s right. I am not in that position.”
A low exclamation is heard around my words mixed with laughter. Sabrina’s face also heats up a little, probably from her anger.
“Pe, did Princess Peia come first?”
“Academy students, regardless of status, are treated as academy students, didn’t you?”
I don’t go to the academy, Grand Duke’s Youngsik.
All students of the academy are equal because they attend the academy.
Therefore, only I have a tacit identity. Let’s play with each other very childishly, as if Sabrina’s lips trembled and turned her head.
“Then, those who want to participate in the hunting festival, go into the forest on horseback and have fun. Others have good tea that is not Chavid tea leaves, so let’s drink and talk.”
Maybe they decided to ignore me, but everyone except me moved in a friendly group of threes and fives.
At that, I looked at Princess Feia, who was led by Sabrina’s hand to the place where the horses were standing.
Short-cut blue hair and an expressionless face.
However, it feels different from Leaf or Guardia.
If Reef is inorganic like a doll and Guardia is cold like ice, Peia is calm like the sea… I feel like I look blank.
According to the data collected from the rumors of the imperial family, it was written that he was cold and blunt.
‘It’s not like I’m used to Leaf and Guardia?’
Are you just being shy?
I weighed Feia and Shahahahad as the finalists in my head and walked to the horse.
“You know when I signal later, right?”
“okay.”
“yes.”
I slowly go to the place where I entrusted the horses, and my horse, Toma, and Kane’s horse, Arisnel. I saw Kest, Zero’s horse, a gray horse from a wild horse.
Toma and Arishnell are from war horses, and Kest is from Chavid’s wild horse, so it seems that he is much taller than other horses and has a head difference from other horses.
Maybe that’s why I saw a few people watching around.
“He is a really nice horse. Look at this, he doesn’t kick back even if he suddenly walks backwards.”
“If you get kicked, you die.”
“I think this horse is a wild horse from Chavid? Gray also knows that there are only white dots and stains in the base that naturally darkens from the root to the tip. crazy I can’t even get this!”
There was a horse lover here.
“Besides, that word is crazy. You seem to have a temper, but since I made a lot of noise, you glanced at me and now moved to the side? Look at this, I’m going to go a little closer, so move back!”
A boy screaming for joy in front of Arisnel. A well-rounded face with round, large glasses.
It looks young, but it’s a pity to use the user’s eyes, so it’s better to get a list of attendees today and find out information about the trait.
maybe you know Will Arya have a junior?
“You must use the same bow and arrow for all of this hunting festival. And catches by escorts instead do not count.”
“okay.”
I greeted the servant who took care of the bow and quiver for business purposes, took it, and walked toward the horse.
“uh… Uh uh.”
After I scratched Toma’s brown fur, I slowly climbed onto the horse. Those who watched the horse recognized me and slowly backed away, then rushed somewhere.
“Hey, that’s crazy.”
“Somehow it was good. I guess the Kruger family just likes to talk.”
I can hear all of these guys
“… Why is everyone talking to the young master like that?”
“Am I ruined? You better get used to it, Zero.”
I have no intention of correcting this image.
I smiled mischievously, hung the quiver on the horse’s saddle, and grabbed the reins, and Toma took care of himself and walked toward the woods the others had entered first.
“By the way, did you know how to shoot a bow?”
I shrugged my shoulders at Kane’s words as if I remembered what I had said about not living in the Labyrinth City, saying that I was definitely not confident in my crossbow.
“I learned all the basics from Vice-captain Mark.”
At those words, Kane’s rugged face wrinkled even more.
Ah, knowing Kane’s original face, I really can’t stand it.
I giggle and drive my horse further into the woods, and soon I hear children shouting and squealing and laughing at one another from the other end.
“catch! Throw an arrow!”
“what a waste. Oh, I can’t catch that.”
Dozens of arrows fly around, and after they pierce the floor or a tree, servants wearing leather armor and leather helmets rush out to retrieve them.
“Rabbit is 1 point!”
“Where is the deer, deer? That’s a high score.”
Thanks to moderately sparsely rooted trees and a fairly wide space, you can see and hear well from far away.
I slowly raised my bow, pulled the string to the end of my ear, and fired an arrow at a rabbit grazing in one corner.
and.
“evil!”
“what?”
I must have calculated the angle, the wind, and even the parabola.
Why is that in someone else’s ass?
“What are you doing, this!”
A man with an arrow pulled out of his hip, as if it had not been deeply embedded, runs toward me with a reddened face on his horse.
I ignored the sound of sighs behind me and grabbed the potion.
