Chapter 195 Hunting Part3
A few moments and conversations later...
Sylvia and two members of the Lycan clan were speeding through the forests. Well, Sylvia was moving as fast as she could while the other two slowed down for her.
And a few feet behind her... two other Lycan clan members were leisurely walking. However, their speed was still enough to keep up with the three in the front.
"Man, that has to be the fastest I have ever seen anyone give up on any argument. Aha ha ha ha." Isaac whistled, enjoying the pleasant stroll in the night.
"Are you planning on shutting up or should I pay a visit to Noele soon?" Roman sighed. His gaze was fixated on the trio in front of them.
"Damn, brother. Why do you have to bring her into this?"
"Your father fixed a mating date yet?"
"Hell no. I have been running every time he picks up that topic. This is not happening."
"Heh. We will see about that." Roman smirked seeing that the other party had finally lost his cheerful mood.
If he was going to be miserable tonight, he wanted the annoying guy near him also to be miserable.
Unlike the two who now walked in silence, the trio in front of them was having a much better time.
"Your highness, I am Mila."
"I am Bloom, princess."
The lycan girls smiled and introduced themselves.
"Nice to meet you, Mila and Bloom." Sylvia nodded. "Do you guys usually hunt on the harvest moon festival in groups or individually?"
"Aha ha ha. Your highness, we wolves always hunt in packs."
Sylvia softly chuckled. "I am sorry. I am not very familiar with the lycan customs."
"It's quite alright, your highness. This festival is really not big a deal. We just hunt some food for the winter."
"If I may please ask, which weapon does your highness prefer to use. I noticed that you don't have one. I was wondering if your highness wanted anything from me?"
"No, I am alright. Thank you." Sylvia politely refused. Though she had allowed Melissa to goad her into joining this hunt, she hadn't done so without any preparations.
They walked through the forests for a few more minutes when suddenly Bloom and Mila stopped in their tracks.
Sylvia as well noticed their behavior and stopped.
A few seconds later, a tall and huge deer strutted out in front of them. "Your highness, shall we?" Mila quickly whispered.
Sylvia nodded. The three of them took a few steps back so as to not alert the animal to their presence.
"Your highness, should we?" Bloom asked again.
This was not the first time Sylvia had been on a hunting mission, but the last time she was merely a spectator, and this time... everything was different.
She took a deep breath and cleared her mind. She had already practiced it enough so she wasn't too nervous.
She took out a bow from the storage ring on her finger and a sheath of arrows which she then slung on her shoulders.
Behind them, Isaac gasped in surprise. "Oooh! Your beast likes to use a bow and arrow?"
Roman as well was shocked. He didn't think that Sylvia had any sort of weapon training or any training of any sort for that matter.
The two of them continued to watch on, not expecting much. It was just a wild beast, so they also weren't too concerned about her safety.
They also did not expect much from her. By now almost everyone knew about the fourth princess affinity and weirdly several other rumors along with it.
Just in case, Bloom and Mila readied themselves to intervene.
As everyone continued to curiously look, the slender figure pulled her arm and a loud twang resounded in the air.
An arrow sliced through the silence of the night and landed right in the middle of the deer's eyes.
BLLLEEAAAT
The deer shrieked in alarm and before the animal could suffer, Sylvia quickly killed him off with two other consecutive arrows one after the other, all hitting the same spot.
Mmm... Sylvia nodded in satisfaction. She turned to look at the two wolf girls but they were looking back at her weirdly.
"She can't even transform fully." His blue eyes flashed with anger.
Isaac's face changed and he as well turned solemn. He knew that this was a sour spot for Roman so "Did I do something wrong?"
"Ah..."
"Umm..."
Sylvia narrowed her eyes in amusement and then walked away to collect the meat before the blood attracted stronger beasts.
Watching her meticulously do the grunt work, the two wolf girls snapped out of their trance and quickly ran towards her to help.
"Your highness, we can handle this." Mila grabbed the deer's body from her.
"Please, forgive our tardiness." Bloom wiped the blood from her hands.
"I don't mind at all." Sylvia smiled. It felt good to talk to other people who were not so timid and nervous around her.
After clearing the deer, the three of them again started moving. They came across a couple of smaller beasts and just like before, Sylvia took care of them swiftly and mercifully.
"Damn! Your girl would have made a fine human marksman." Isaac chuckled and when he turned to see, Roman was not laughing at his joke.
"What happened, dude? Isn't she doing great?"
"Hmm... Great huh?" Roman finally chuckled, but there was only coldness in his voice. "Is this how a beast is supposed to fight? With weapons?" He muttered under his breath.
"She can't even transform fully." His blue eyes flashed with anger.
Isaac's face changed and he as well turned solemn. He knew that this was a sour spot for Roman so he didn't say anything after that.
The two of them followed the three women in silence when Isaac stopped and turned to ask something seriously.
"Brother, so is there also any specific reason why only female members of your personal pack is accompanying the princess?" He waggled his eyebrows.
The serious atmosphere completely evaporated and Roman shook his head helplessly, chuckling. "You are a hopeless, idiot. I am going to personally talk to Noel after we return."
"Brother, please."
"I apologize."
"I will accept any other punishment."
"Please."
"Please."
