"Sorry for the inconvenience, Prince Ian." Julliane bowed in apology.
Ian immediately stopped him, because the wrong person was not Julliane. "You don't need to apologize, Princess Julliane."
"Let me drive to the living room."
Julliane immediately guided Ian to the concubine's palace living room. Ian was behind her following her. Ian's eyes kept on Julliane's tiny back. The back that used to look fragile now stands upright.
They arrived and sat facing each other. Julliane's long breath filled the room. He began to talk about his problem about the man who approached him. Letta did not want to hear this complaint. Upon hearing Julliane complain about the three main character candidates, Letta instantly disappeared. Julliane needs a friend who can hear her story, Ian being the right person.
"So we'll work together to embarrass them, would you agree?" julliane asked after finishing her story.
"Well I agree, Julliane."
"I heard rumors about a spoiled and lazy Beckett. I'll prove that the rumor is true."
Ellaine's friends are telling Beckett the bad. Ellaine was worried about conveying this to her brother. Julliane of course believed her sister's words. He has also seen Beckett's nature, just to spread it to everyone.
"Do you have a plan, Julliane?"
"Unfortunately my plan all failed. I thought he was a weak man and it turned out that my guess was wrong. I'm thinking of another way." Julliane's hands were massaging her head. He hopes the idea will come up soon.
"How about having a hunting party?"
Julliane began to recall the hunting party held by Ellaine in the novel Flower Palace. This is one of the activities included in the Ellaien contest. Whoever gets the most animals and the largest then he is the winner.
In the novel Flower Palace, Julliane messes up at the hunt at the time of the announcement of the winner. He wanted to show himself in front of the crowd. Despite knowing that she would be hated, humiliated and ostracized, Julliane did so because she wanted to find her true love. Moreover, he wanted the event held Ellaine destroyed. The ceremony was postponed but the three main character candidates continued to approach Ellaine without slack.
But this time it was different. Julliane's the one who's going on the hunt to frame Beckett.
Beckett must have won this hunt in a sneaky way. I'll dismantle it.
"Good idea, Ian." Julliane nodded steadily.
"I'm also going to join this hunting party." Ian looked at Julliane asking for approval.
"Well, I'll convince my father to hold this hunt."
The two of them smiled at each other. The two discuss plans to humiliate Beckett so they don't dare to appear at the palace again.
***
Within a week a hunting party was held. Many nobles are participating in this hunt. The men will give the game animals to show their joy to the people who are approached. While women will encourage the man they like by giving a handkerchief.
Ian was in his hunting tent. No one gave her a handkerchief. He expected it. Although her face was already covered with makeup, the Yuvinere nobility was still hostile towards her.
Ian came out of the tent to meet Leroy. Leroy looked at him with a confused mixed wrath. "Why are you here?"
Julliane who was behind her father immediately came forward standing beside Ian. "I invited him Dad. There is no harm in making the hunt even more festive," explained Julliane.
Leroy's anger subsided a little. He had thought that the Contain Working Prince had come here with the intention to destroy the hunting party. It's his daughter's hunt to celebrate the disappearance of the curse. His daughter has the right to invite anyone, even enemies.
Leroy also heard of Ian's arrival at the palace. At first he had intended to expel her, but Ian had done nothing wrong. Expelling him carelessly would lead to a war with the Kingdom of Constain. Leroy avoided this.
"Alright, don't destroy my daughter's good intentions." Leroy threw his face away and continued in his footsteps.
All of the Yuvinere royal family followed him from behind except, Julliane. Julliane breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Ian.
"I'm sorry about my father's behavior, Ian."
"It's okay, Julliane."
"The hunting party's about to begin. Let's join us at the opening." Julliane extended her hand to Ian. Ian received his friend's hand.
They can be called friends or not. It was Julliane who first called Ian a friend. Maybe it was the easiest way to call their relationship. This is better than an ex-fiancee.
Julliane soon puts herself in the middle of her family. Ian was in the crowd of hunting participants who were in front of the stage. Beside the participants, lined up noble girls who looked at the man who became their heart idol.
The king gave a short speech. Julliane doesn't pay attention to her father, looking around for Beckett. Beckett's nose shaft visible. The Lortamort Kingdom's prince arrived late. Julliae's eyes kept on Beckett to observe his actions during this hunt.
The trumpet sounds to indicate the hunt has begun. Participants began to scatter towards their horses. Julliane nodded her head giving Ian a sign. Ian retorted Julliane's nod, he rushed up his horse.
"Do you want to meet my friends?" point Ellaine with a glance of her eyes at the noble girls gathered at one of the tables.
Ellaine from earlier observed her brother who was staring forward as if feeling lonely. He wanted his brother to have fun with him.
Julliane stared at the group of noble girls. Plenty of connections will benefit him, but there are more important issues.
"Sorry, Elle. I'd like to take a walk" Julliane declined as smoothly as possible. He did not want to hurt his brother.
"Then be careful not to lose Kak Juli" replied Ellaine disappointed.
Ellaine walked towards her friends without any sense of spirit. Julliane was about to comfort him but her hand came to a halt.
I'll make up for it by bringing a good show later and a cake tomorrow, Elle.
Julliane turned to the participants. Beckett rode his horse into the hunting area. Not wanting to lose track of the Lortamort Kingdom's Prince, he immediately followed him silently without anyone knowing.
I'll enjoy this fun hunt.
