Elona'S Legacy
Hunting

The hunting time has come, in the hunt in the forest have been prepared camps for the rest of the nobles who are each divided based on his family besides that also in the prepared a place for the daughters of the nobility for them to be able to socialize one with others relaxed.

The princesses of the nobility were sitting on chairs on the edge of the forest enjoying the desserts they had prepared while the men who were hunting prepared themselves. The noble men who entered the hunting contest would give their catch to the noble daughters they chose as a sign that he was interested in the person. Crown Prince and Vander take part in the hunt while Lucas and Elona are tasked with maintaining security around the forest. The hunting contest will be held for 3 days, the hunt starts after the sound of the trumpet is sounded. Ttrangg... Ttrangg...

After hearing the sound of their trumpets that directly spur his horse and into the forest to look for hunted animals. In the woods Lucas and Elona have marked safe areas for hunting using yellow ribbons and red ribbons for wild animals. Some royals have caught his game in the form of rabbits, ferrets, antelopes, deer and others. The Crown Prince and Vander have also captured rabbits, deer and foxes.

Suddenly Ricardo felt an arrow speeding towards them. Shutt.... Ricardo and Vander continued to spur his horse while fending off the arrows that kept attacking with their swords subconsciously they entered the red ribbon area. After entering the area deep enough Ricardo and Vander decide to stop their horse and fight directly with the assassins. Heigh.. The arrows they were fielding managed to hit the other 2 assassins after they had arrows, they came out of their hiding places. Then the 6 assassins came out of hiding and

 tang..klang.. klang.

After a while they lived the four of them who still survived Ricardo, Vander and his two enemies even though their bodies were covered in wounds. There was a sound of a large lion approaching and the two enemies decided to leave Ricardo and Vander with the lion. When we saw the two killers' chance to escape, the killer spoke to each other through eyes that said "we just throw them at the lion and then run away". After the assassins managed to corner Ricardo and Vander's position towards the lion getting closer to them, the two assassins escaped using their magic tools. Ricardo and Vander saw that those who had escaped by using magic tools finally got an idea of how they could launch an attack but could not be seen by the other nobles and how the forest became quiet like that there's no one around them.

Haumm, the lion that had approached secretly like he was observing his target, jumped straight at Ricardo, Ricardo resisted his attack using his sword while Vander stabbed the lion in the back.

At the same time the hunting event for that day was over and many of the nobles had already returned to the meeting place.

" Why hasn't the Crown Prince and commander-in-chief Vander returned yet?" elona said to Lucas

" We'll wait a little while if we still haven't returned as well I'll look for them and you'll be guarding this place!"

" Okay, commander"

In the forest after they had fought the lion, Vander and Ricardo sat leaning against the big tree. Haaah.haahh.they sighed from exhaustion against the killer and the lion while regulating their breath treating the wounds on their bodies.

" Crown Prince, what about your injuries?" ask Vander

" No problem, it's not a big wound. You yourself how are your wounds worse than mine?" ricardo said as he wrapped the arrow wound that was his foot and the sword wound on his arm

" Seeing how to use the magic tools hanging on their swords seems like we have no choice but to hide this situation only to the people around and behave like nothing happened" Ricardo continued

" Yes, I understand why you make such a decision because the magic tools they use are for creating illusions and teleportation. The two tools are only owned by some upper class nobles, do you think they cooperate with the magic owner tower?" ask Vander

" There is a possibility but before that we should return so that they do not worry at once we can see the faces of the perpetrators if we know we can return safely" ricardo said to Vander as he stood up.

Siuuttt.siuuttt.drap...drap.

They returned to the meeting place using their horses that they had released before fighting with the hitmen, not forgetting they brought the results of their hunt including the lion they had just defeated. When they returned Lucas had prepared to search for those who finally met at the starting line of the hunt, Lucas who saw their arrival immediately ran up to Ricardo and Vander with his anxious face.

" Crown Prince are you okay?" lucas said in a slow tone

" I'll explain everything later in my camp and bring Elona with you" Ricardo told Lucas

Lucas returns to deliver the message that Ricardo ordered to Elona, while Ricardo and Vander face the King, carrying his lion. While walking towards the King they tried to pay attention to the faces and attitudes of the nobles who looked suspicious with their presence

" Thank you for your gift Crown Prince" said the King

After that, the events of the first day of the hunt had ended and all of them returned to their respective camps. Ricardo, Vander, Lucas and Elona had gathered at Ricardo's camp to discuss the incident.

" Did something happen in the forest, Crown Prince?" ask Lucas

" In the forest we met with assassins and 2 of them managed to escape using magic tools" Ricardo said

" Are you and Commander Vander's chief wounded?" ask Elona

" I have only a small wound in my leg and arm while Vander's back is injured by the swing of the enemy's sword, I told the royal physician to check you don't have to worry" Ricardo replied. Then came Vander who had finished receiving treatment from the royal physician and sat down next to Elona.

" What did the doctor say about your wound?" ask Ricardo

" Nothing to worry about is just a few days of rest"

" It's good that you rest tomorrow and your duties will be replaced by Lucas for a while"

" But if that's the reason you give if anyone questions my whereabouts"

" I'd say you got hurt while hunting yesterday. Did you notice the noble's suspicious-looking face with our presence?" ask Ricardo to Vander

Vander shook his head.

" So is there anything suspicious about the hit man? what does it mean with magic tools?" ask Lucas

" Before the attack began we felt suddenly the situation in the forest became strange so we suspected that they were using illusion magic because no one knew that we were being attacked of course except us and the perpetrators. Then as we were fighting, Vander and I saw that the sword they were using was a teleportation magic tool they used to escape by cornering us into the lion" Ricardo explained.

" Does this have anything to do with tower magic owners? weren't those two magic tools only possessed by Marques and Duke class nobles? ask Elona

" I don't know if this has anything to do with tower magic owners, but indeed we were able to scale down the search for perpetrators" but I remember in my previous life there was no such thing as this during the hunting event, is this the case with the capture of Count Raymond, Ricardo said while trying to recall the events of his previous life.

" But I have to admit that the people who planned this incident were quite careful because we can't say that we've been attacked by hitmen because there's no evidence that even their bodies came along as well as the witness, no one saw him because of the illusion of magic power" Vander said.

" Then what would you plan to do to find the culprit, Crown Prince?" ask Elona

" In the meantime we can just pretend nothing happened and see what plans they're going to use for the last 2 days"

Then they came out of Ricardo's camp and returned to their own tents
