Chapter 44 Hunting Festival

The hunting festival held by the kingdom has arrived, all nobles and guests from abroad are present in this festival to show the ability of every noble or guest present. The festival is the largest festival with a long history, its goal is clearly to unite peace or increase friendship. This festival that has lasted hundreds of years has always been a tradition that all nobles are waiting for, this tradition has also always developed every generation that originally only men were allowed to participate in the race now women have the same opportunity as men in this competition.

Clara decided to stay in the tent watching the hunting match with another noble girl in the tent that had been prepared together with Violet, but before the event starts, of course, there will be a greeting and handkerchiefs or lucky items from noble girls according to the tradition in the kingdom. Clara in this case made two hand-crafted ropes to be fastened to the sword, she gave it to Dain and Xiang, because Xiang did not look there was a girl who would give something for luck, he gave something to Xiang, look Dain's facial expression became disappointed to see the same thing given by Clara to others.

Clara who felt a sharp and cold gaze from behind her back turned towards the origin of the voice and at the moment she turned her head how surprised she was to see a male figure that seemed to be jealous, she said, but different in the eyes of people about Dain's gaze for them is the gaze of people who are bloodthirsty and want to kill.

"Take it easy yours is more special" whispered Clara to Dain's ear, who was answered with a rapid change in Dain's expression

Not long after the sound of a call there was a woman approaching, a woman who made all the eyes of the people there quite fixed to the origin of the voice and to the engaged couple. Clara who saw this could only smile because she did not know the purpose of the arrival of the girl until the girl took out a handkerchief with embroidery of the family coat of arms Freiheit.

Seeing the family crest of Freiheit who was in the handkerchief embroidery made everyone more interested and curious about the relationship owned by the figure of the girl who gave a handkerchief with Dain to use his family crest, and the family crest, though clearly Dain was engaged to a girl this would be an insult to Clara who became fiance and people who are increasingly curious about the relationship of the two people.

"Dain, I prepared a handkerchief for you,"

"This handkerchief I hope you accept it and I hope you like it,"

"I know my hand embroidery is not so good, but will you accept it?" said the girl with a smile and a look of hope received

Dain was currently stared at by everyone who was in the festival tent, it makes her feel worried whether she should accept the handkerchief or not because every action has an impact on the people's speech and engagement with Clara. He was unable to think what the girl in front of him wanted at this moment actually, but as a few minutes had passed and Dain was still thinking of taking it or not. The girl's tears flowed and dripped down the surface of the ground.

All eyes were on Dain and the two girls who were in front of Dain, hands outstretched to take the handkerchief that was embroidered by the girl. Then wiping away the tears of the crying girl with a gentle smile, all the eyes of the noble who saw this incident was a soft meal to drop the good name of Clara as her fiance Dain.

All nobles would love to look for his opponent's shortcomings, especially Dain who has a strong influence in the kingdom. Whispers after whispers and laughter after small laughter slowly began to sound from around the people surrounding them in the place.

"Well, maybe he's a duke's only fiance, "

"Don't you know that the duke is a bloodthirsty and crazy man? So of course it can happen," whispered a noble B to noble A who then some noble girl behind him laughed silently

Clara couldn't possibly not listen to the childish whispers from the nobles she thought were gossips. He looked at the group of girls talking about him with a cold and sharp look, after which he took the handkerchief the Holy Girl gave to Dain and gave it to a bodyguard who was behind Dain.

"Miss, the Holy Lady of the messenger god like you seems timid to hand over a handkerchief to a bodyguard of my fiancee,"

"I'm enough to help you like this, right? Isn't it true that the Holy Girl actually just wanted to give this handkerchief to the bodyguard behind you? But because he's too embarrassed he left you?" clara said loudly while walking one step ahead of Dain as this was her conversation with the Holy Girl

All the nobles and some important guests, who were watching as well as who were listening to the conversation from Clara with a smile felt that it was the case. Everyone was gossiping again even though in front of them was the person they were talking about, The Holy Girl could not reply to Clara's words because if she said that the handkerchief was indeed for Dain then she would be directly stamped by people as the third person in Dain's relationship and Clara's engaged.

Not long after the sound of the trumpet was heard telling that the greeting from the owner of the kingdom will soon arrive, all nobles and important guests are asked to gather immediately to the designated place before the king conveys a word or two in opening the hunting festival that has become a tradition. A few hours passed only for speeches discussing the history of the start of the establishment of the festival which has been discussed repeatedly every year.

Clara who listened to a long greeting was a little more almost asleep because it was like a traditional fairy tale. After the completion of the long welcome speech and fireworks to start the event, all the nobles and important guests who participated directly prepared the troops and the hunting team.

"Clara, I left first always near Violet, right?"

"And Violet you take good care of Clara,"
