Second day of the hunt, Ricardo's camp
" Crown Prince are you going to stay in the forest today to hunt?" ask Lucas
" No, no, I've had a fair amount of hunting and I don't think they're that stupid to plan my second murder so I don't think there's any point in luring them into our better woods trying to find the culprit from here"
" Have you got a plan to frame them?"
On the other hand the daughters of the nobles were conversing and Elona was assigned to keep their peace. In the society Sabrina was the main actor in addition to her family status is higher than others she was also recognized as a socialite flower in the kingdom of Bisania, this is because he not only has beautiful people but also the ability of socialists who are "good" in making his opponents feel embarrassed. During their conversation Sabrina was always watching Elona from a distance, Elona who felt herself being watched once in a while she looked behind her where the noble princesses gathered to enjoy her small meal.
" The female soldier in front is she the new Crown Prince's personal bodyguard? what's name?" ask Sabrina
" If I hadn't heard her name wrongly, it was Elona" replied one of the noble princesses
" I heard it from my elder brother who was the palace guard, saying he had the same ability as commander Lucas" Leana said with eyes filled with admiration for Elona,
" Right, I want to see her fight" said the other nobles' daughters curiously
Finally the topic that became their main conversation changed to Elona, about how she can become the personal bodyguard of the Crown Prince when she was very young let alone she is a woman until they also praise that actually Elona looks beautiful without wearing makeup though. Increasingly listening to the praise made by noble women there Sabrina showed a more gloomy face, this was noticed by a close friend of Sabrina named Elizabeth. Seeing Sabrina's gloomy face she tried to change the direction of their conversation.
" Are you sure about that we don't see it ourselves, it could have been Commander Lucas who relented just to show his respect to the Crown Prince however he was the soldier he chose" elizabeth said
" Daughter of Sabrina I heard you got a hunt yesterday from the nobles?" said Elizabeth who suddenly changed the direction of their conversation
" Right, yesterday you also got a ferret from little Duke Geraldo" Leana said
" Daughter of Sabrina is indeed very famous until many of the nobles who choose you to be a partner in life. Of all the hunting gifts, it belonged to little Duke Geraldo the best. Your daughter also likes the most for her hunting, right?" hearing the words from her friend Elizabeth, Sabrina's feelings got better
" I heard that the Crown Prince caught another quarry other than the lion that he gave to His Majesty, does anyone know who the Crown Prince gave the rest of his hunting? I heard that the Crown Prince treated his new bodyguard with idemewa, is it possible that he gave it to his new bodyguard? " ask one of the nobles sitting next to Leana
Hearing that Leana who was sitting next to him nudged the noble's daughter's leg as a sign to stop her question because Sabrina's face looked very cold
Ahhh, a young noble who ran with his horse was chased by a pack of wolves towards the noble princess assembly place.
Seeing the situation, the princesses immediately shouted in panic and tried to escape each of them quickly which caused them to collide with each other, other royals including Ricardo and Lucas who were in their resting camp also came out due to the sound of screaming. Then the guards also ran towards the nobles to rescue and take them to a safe place while the others defeated the wolf pack. Ricardo and Lucas helped the soldiers, in the midst of chaos to escape Leana fell due to driven by other nobles.
Leana who fell down was unable to run easily because of her sprained legs and at that time she saw 2 wolves heading towards her which made Leana's body tremble in fear
" Help! helpme! there's a wolf" he yelled
The wolf got closer and prepared to pounce on Leana who closed her eyes in fear, Elona who saw the chase immediately ran and slashed the two wolves with her sword. The wolf's blood hit Elona's shirt and face.
" Can you stand up, miss?" elona asked, extending her hand
Leana who heard Elona's voice slowly opened her eyes and took Elona's hand to help her stand up. Then Elona drove Leana to a safer place away from the location of the accident.
" Can you wait in this tree by yourself? after helping them I will come back to pick you up" Elona said
" Yes I'm fine, you just finish your job first"
" Gentlemen, please take refuge in this place!" said the palace soldier while pointing towards the meeting camp of the nobles because only the tent was the largest and the location was the farthest from the place of the congregation.
After settling the matter with the wolves, Elona then returns to where she left Leana alone as she had promised.
Draper... Elona ran towards Leana "It's all done let me take the lady to the nobleman's evacuation camp" while holding Leana in front because Elona saw she was still having trouble walking. After arriving at the camp, the wounded nobles had received treatment from the medical teams
" Thank you for helping me from the wolf attack, this is my handkerchief you took to clean your face from the wolf's blood" Leana said as she gave her handkerchief.
Ricardo and Lucas went to the camp to see the condition of the wounded nobles
" How are the wounded nobles doing?" ricardo asked the royal doctor
" Good thing no lives were lost from this incident, there were 5 people who were seriously injured, quite badly, 4 People were injured by the scratches and bites of wolves on their chests or backs and 1 noble daughter whose legs were scratched by wolves that might cause injury" said the palace doctor gave Ricardo a full report of the patient
" Thank you for working so hard. Do you have any way of not causing a scar on the girl's leg?"
" I'll try to make the cure"
" If you need my help, just say it"
After that Ricardo and Lucas returned to the camp and waited for Elona to report the incident, in the camp there was also Vander who had helped to evacuate the nobles
" Excuse me Crown Prince, I Elona would like to give you a report on today's events"
" Elona try to tell me about this from the beginning" Ricardo said
Finally Elona told Ricardo everything about how a herd of wolves that suddenly appeared chasing a young man, but because the young man was a severe victim and still in treatment so he was still not asked further how he could be chased by a herd of wolves.
" I'm sorry for my negligence, Crown Prince" Elona said, bowing her body
" No, Elona didn't you and Lucas add security to the forest especially for the wild animals"
" It's true Elona you don't have to blame yourself so much" Lucas said
" Is there a problem with the magic barrier you're using?" ask Vander
" It's impossible, to make sure everything Elona and I accidentally caught a wild animal yesterday and used it as an experiment, the animal can't enter it" Lucas said
" Before reporting, I have checked the state of the forest and the magic barrier to prevent entry of the beasts is still there and I have made sure with the magic experts that the tool is still functioning properly" said Elona
" That means we can only find out the cause of this plight if the young man wakes up. What was the young man's name?" ask Ricardo
" Edward Kartz, he was the son of Viscount Kartz who was appointed to regulate trade in the kingdom"
