KING IN THE NORTH
chapter 22 hunting

"Have you ever hunted before? "

"Never, My Lord."

The horse that Olive was riding ran side by side with King Alzov's horse, followed by several guards behind him. Edmun was also there, so Olive was quite calm, although it seemed that the young man did not want to let go. While with King Alzov, Olive and Edmund did have to limit themselves, sometimes Olive only dared to glance at it at a glance, and also anxious whenever watching Edmund's tense face, he said, he just wanted to convince the boy that he was okay.

A guard told him there was a deer near the spring, King Alzov who was quite enthusiastic immediately drove his horse. Sometimes Olive still does not understand about the joy of hunting.

Olive deliberately did not participate, Edmun tried to follow along beside him.

"Do you also want to shoot a deer? "Whisper Olive who originally did not know if Edmund will also participate in the hunting troupe.

"No, I just want to make sure you're okay."

Olive glanced at the young man beside her.

"I still don't know why killing can be a pleasure."

"You'll know if you've tried, come on, who knows if you're lucky today."

Edmun helped his horse race first following the other group, while Olive just tailed behind. The soldiers who had already entered the forest had dispersed to surround the deer that had been trapped, the, one of the male deer had just fallen after one of King Alzov's arrows had pierced his head.

Olive really did not until the heart watched the doe that had run was shaken after one arrow was still stuck in her hip behind her.

"Stop! " triak Olive suddenly.

Unknowingly it turns out that Olive has just stopped a King from pulling his arrow, King Alzov's right arm slackens back when he turns to the young girl who this time is behind him.

"Sorry My Lord, I just feel that it's so inhumane."

King Alzov revealed a strange wry smile, "i feel that something like this can bring back my humanity."

Olive's heart floundered even though the little girl would never really realize the sarcasm King Alzov had just said, Olive was still shocked and chose to retreat.

he should not have prevented whatever his king did. Olive began to regret that she shouldn't have come, or that they shouldn't have brought the women on the hunt.

Olive really did not want to see such a scene, hence Olive chose to leave.

Going hunting really is not the right choice, it feels Olive can see the doe shed tears when watching her partner fall drooping on the ground, her head dizzy, and her eyes are still, and subconsciously Olive was getting further and further away from the entourage and it seemed that she had not chosen the right path.

The horse he was riding began to spin as Olive suddenly pulled her reins. His horse screamed in panic, as his front legs pricked up suddenly to make Olive's body thrown to the ground. Olive fell on the dry ground quite hard, her spine seemed to crack and Olive could only scream withstanding the pain that seemed to suddenly grip her back.

"Olives... "

Edmun who turned out to follow him immediately jumped down from his horse.

"I fell, that fucking horse threw me."

"Relax I'll lift you up, hold on a second."

Easily the young man raised his body, Olive never expected that his body would be that light...

"Olive, we can go if you want."

Olive still seems confused.

"This is our chance,"

Edmun put his body on the surface of the flat stone, Olive tried to fix his sitting position while Edmun still held his back slowly.

"Is your back hurting? "

Olive only nodded as she bit her lower lip to endure the stinging pain that began to creep through.

"Listen, I can get you till we find a safe place."

"I'm not sure."

"Trust me," the young man still tried to convince Olive, "you deserve freedom, believe me I'll take care of you."

Olive believed in Edmun's earnestness but she still had to rethink about the young man's safety as well.

"They'll know you took me away."

"Stop worrying about me" the pair of green eyes seemed so sure, "Olive you can be free"

"What are you doing! "

Triak King Alzov who turned out to be in front of them and full of wrath when he saw Olive was still half in the arms of Edmun who was also no less surprised to see the arrival of his King.

"Keep away from her! "

"He fell down."

"I told you to keep your filthy hands away from her!!! " triak King Alzov, Again.

After jumping off his horse King Alzov immediately grabbed Olive's body, regardless of the young man trying to kneel in front of him.
