The Bloody Crown
BC 32

...*******...

The day that awaited has arrived. The day on which, all the invited guests had already filled the audience tents. Be it in a tent for special guests, or even tents for ordinary noble guests. Even in other parts of the field that did not have tents and chairs, the place of ordinary people who wanted to watch the event, was fuller than other places

To the right of the field bounded by ropes, all the archers were preparing with their bows and arrows.

Sunlight that shines bright but also fun, increasingly spur the spirit of the participants from all walks of life.

The crowds still filled the entire field. The gentlmans from Francia, Bosnia, and several guest kingdoms were still busy in their chatter. They talked about Francia, horse race betting, and... Queen Francia is looking for her companion.

While the ladies, also no less busy in their chat. They talked about the weather, praised each other for their dresses, jewelry, hairdo, makeup, and makeup.

There are three names that are always selling well to be the talk of behind the fans of the ladies. The conversation was said with embarrassment, and also seemed flirtatious.

Not long after, the two men who were in their best-selling chat came in with a shunt pace

Ryes walked into the field holding a bow on her back and holding her arrow tube. Ferdinand entered with a grim face while holding his bow and arrow tube

The crowd that happened, became more and more with the arrival of another person.

Regan's. Another man who was the subject of the ladies' conversation came into the field with a relaxed face with Summer who showed a depressed face.

His hand continued to circle with Summer's hand which continued to wring her elbow reluctantly. Then start taking a seat in the special tent that has been prepared for them

"HER MAJESTY QUEEN FRANCESCA ARRIVES!"

The cry of a knight instantly grabbed all attention. Their feet immediately stood up from the chair with their eyes straight towards the arrival of Francesca's steps along with the two maids who followed her. The servants who were holding onto the robe of the dress swept across the ground, continued to hold them so as not to touch the ground.

In the sun. On top of her thick stack of hair that was arranged beautifully. The ruby tiara that Francesca had slid in her black hair was beautifully shiny.

The red dress with a dark red robe that he wore seemed to match the character of his face that was flat, cold, firm, but also very beautiful.

With her chin held high, her hands clutched gracefully in front of her stomach, the absence of facial features, her beautiful cold gray eyes, glared, her beautiful pale facial skin instantly glittered in the scorching heat of the bright sun

Perfectly...

One word to describe their Queen Francia. Their queen who looks and sounds so perfect. Be it to see, hear about him, or just to feel his presence

Which made ordinary Francians unable to hold back their pride. They began clapping to greet their Queen who was heading to the tent where her seat was placed. As for the Francia nobles, the gentelements immediately bowed deeply and the ladies instantly pulled the side of their dresses while looking down deeply.

Receiving a welcome full of courtesy and pride from his subjects, made Francesca's chest warm, but also, rustling with pain

Because he felt... This is not the time to accept everything.... Francesca felt that all this majesty was not suitable for her to have...

Haven't. It's all still his father's... And he hates the fact that his father is gone and may soon be forgotten.

"Good morning ladies and gentlemen. Good morning, dear Francians and foreign royal guests, whom I respect. Welcome to this festival event, and thank you for your presence" Francesca searched to stare at all the faces in the audience seats. "I don't want to be so stale anymore. The rules in the hunt are still the same, the victory by calculating how big and how many animals you can conquer" Francesca's head turned to the hunting participants who had put all their attention on him. "But this year I have an exception"

Francesca's words immediately made the faces there look curious and wait for the continuation of her words. Including Ryes who this time had raised one eyebrow when Francesca's gaze collided with her gaze. Then, those two gray eyes instantly melengos to look back ahead.

"If you want to get the prize. I did too"

After Francesca spoke. A large, sangar-faced person immediately entered the middle of the field and faced the steps of the stairs where Francesca was standing. His big back immediately bowed politely which was immediately given a brief nod of Francesca.

(Waiting for Edward. Kira2 kyk gini in the picture eike guys. you are free to make your own).

"He's my guy to snatch the top prize you're after" Gracefully, Francesca started to land her buttocks on the chair. His head turned back to the right where the participants gathered. His direction, looking at Ryes who was already staring at him without blinking with lips that had been pulled half over "Good luck! and enjoy your game, gentleman!"

Francesca's man today, Edward, went straight into the line of confinement of the participants when he heard Francesca's cue.

The whispers slowly began the audience and the participants did so politely and carefully. Which makes the next corner of the seedlings Francesca pulled upwards. Because they, must be talking about whether there is a possibility that the participants can win the main prize?

As for Ferdinand, already looking at Francesca with a grimaced face. Goddamnit! what the fuck is this Frans...???

The man who had been Francesca's pawn to snatch the prize victory was just a peep at Ferdinand, then said

"Hello... Your Highness"

"Silence you're Ed! what the fuck is this, huh?"

"Hhmm.. haven't started yet but you've smelled the scent of defeat huh?"

After speaking, Edward nodded. Which made the spirit of the other participants who knew Edward, immediately shrieked.

Ryes and Francesca were still throwing their gazes at each other. Both of their grey-horned eyeballs look greener in the sun. The two eyeballs were as blue as the pale-robed sky of Ryes, shiny smoldering in the sun.

The gaze of throwing the challenge Francesca gave was immediately welcomed by Ryes from her gaze. Ryes' mouth opened saying something without a sound. Which makes Francesca immediately look down because she understands the language of the mouth that Ryes spoke.

Seeing Francesca's rejection, Ryes gave a smile as she examined her arrow tube. Ignoring Edward and Ferdinand who were already staring at him with a full probing gaze.

Time keeps going. The signs at the beginning of the hunt have begun with the sound of a gong.

The participants began to move out of the boundary line to be directed at the dense forest behind the palace. They're ready to head to the hunting ground.

Cheers began to fill all sides of the field. The noble men clapped, the ladies cheered gracefully. And the people, looked more lively and attracted Francesca.

Their faces were bright, full of excitement, and hope. Their eyes that Francesca could catch seemed to sparkle happily. This is definitely the scene that made his father always say if the little people were everything to Francia. It must be this image that made his father able to sacrifice everything for Francia.

Francesca's two hands clinging to her stomach tightened as she recalled each of George and her father's upbringing as the top leaders of the status chain in Francia. And that's when, his line of sight again collided with Ryes's line of sight. But, this time Francesca did not throw away her gaze. Both of his gray eyeballs stared fixedly at Ryes which made Ryes only able to be stunned for a moment.

Stunned because of the glint of both gray eyes with green-burned Francesca managed to burn her spirit with a very smoldering.

Moreover, when Francesca's mouth opened, saying a 'thank you' speech without a sound from her ripe lips. The words Francesca said to reply to Ryes' words earlier. Speech without a voice that says if she is beautiful.

The participants had started to pass through the field to enter the forest. Ferdinand glanced at the glance of a woman who was already smiling while chanting her name gracefully, Delana.

While Summer, who could hear the graceful cry of the old woman, immediately snorted violently with a look of face that seemed to hold in disdain

Looking at Summer's facial features, Regan chuckles while tidying up Summer's already neat hairpins.

"Stop touching me Regan"

"If you kiss me?"

Summer rolled her eyes lazily.iuuhh!! so disgusted everybody...!!!

--000--

Feeling fed up, Ferdinand finally spewed out his annoyance.

"Go Ed. Why do you keep following me?"

One of Edward's eyebrows swooped.

"Take confidence in yourself Your Highness..."

Ferdinand's rude snort instantly made Edward chuckle in amusement.

"Alright. I go. Be careful Your Highness"

"Ck! you think I'm ten years old huh?"

With a twisting step, Edward said softly

"You've always been my favorite little knight Your Highness"

Ferdinand sneered in disgust.

"Kids your ass Ed! where there are children who can produce children"

After saying that, Ferdinand increasingly entered into the forest that looked orange-colored. Showing that summer is at the end and soon, autumn will come.

On the other hand, Ryes was sitting casually in her place while examining the end of her arrow. Actually, he really did not want to participate in the race that he considered ridiculous. But, because of the words of some people at the horse betting place yesterday, he so followed the thing that he considered ridiculous.

"I heard, anyone who can win the race will be made Her Majesty's companion"

"Where possible! what if that man wasn't a noble?"

"You know for yourself that every year the winner is always a banker. And the main winner is always His Highness. He said, if any man could defeat his twin, Her majesty would tie herself to that tough guy"

The memories of the men's conversation left Ryes scratching her head which did not itch at all.

The crab! He was trapped and now felt so stupid!

Yes, if it is like this. Like it or not, Ryes will always win the battle, she must win.

As a result, Ryes began to close her eyes. Sharpen his hearing and his intentions. To seek enlightenment, where he will begin to pounce on prey.

For a while he dwelt in the middle of the forest. Until the enlightenment in his way, finally came to fruition.

Slowly, Ryes held her bow and arrows. Leaving the arrow tube just like that, while carrying one arrow.

The rustling sound was slow, making Ryes walk very carefully towards the sound. He immediately lowered his head when he saw a deer and his son who was looking for fresh leaves.

Next to Ryes's hand began to lift forward, with one of her hands directly sticking her arrows on the bow strings. The shot immediately leads to the mother deer but Ryes' body quickly turns to the opposite direction of the mother deer, and takes off her arrows.

Traasha!!

The mother deer and her son immediately ran the ridge because of the sound of arrows and the sound of angry predators. Tiger, a huge tiger was immediately lying on the ground with its neck stuck in arrows.

Well.. It seems like tiger meat is not good to eat. Maybe Ryes chose the wrong target but, because it was already done, Ryes still dragged the legs of the tiger who still seemed eager to fight for life

Ryes's hand continued to drag the tiger's leg which was getting more and more difficult to breathe because of the very precise shot through the blood stream and the main airway in his neck.

Ryes releases her grip on the tiger times, then stands towering over the tiger who looks to have almost given up but, still wants to move when looking at Ryes.

"Sorry"

After saying that, Ryes' feet immediately raised an arrow that stuck. Which made blood, on the largest blood feather on the tiger's neck it instantly gushed profusely. In just a count of eight, the formidable tiger instantly could not move anymore. And in the next four seconds, the tiger's stomach had already lost its slow motion.

"Where should I keep this big body? godammit! this is so ridiculous!"

While continuing to babble and curse, Ryes moves to save and hide the results of her hunt.

--000--

Trassh!

Traassh!

Two arrows were directly stuck in the legs and on the chest to the left of the large black-haired beast Ferdinand's prey

Bears. It was fortunate enough that Ferdinand could instantly find the huge beast. Ferdinand waited for a while from his place while observing the bear who was trying to run amok due to the pain and difficulty of running.

Until the big bear was able to adjust to running, Ferdinand quickly released two more arrows right into the bear's front legs.

The big black hairy body immediately fell on the ground filled with dried grass.

While counting the rest of his arrows, Ferdinand waited for the arrow in the heart of the bear that worked to stop the heartbeat. And before long, the bear began to lose its breath movements.

Well. it's time to secure the hunt...

--000--

Under a shady tree. George stood there quietly while staring around with Keelft who was also enjoying the scenery.

Sometimes they talk. Ryes, Regan, and Delana. Which made George continue to look at them closely.

"Keelft"

"Yes sir"

"They're one mom, right?"

George asked the same question. This time, it made Keeft's forehead frown

"Yes sir. His Highness Prince Regan and Duke Hasting are half-brothers" Keelft dissects, and follows George's constantly staring gaze at Regan. "Sorry sir. Actually, what are you worried about?"

Curious and confused questions asked by Keelft made George only answer with a brief skirt.

Keelft who saw George's answer could only look back at the old man curiously.

Actually, what's with George's worried look?
