The Hunting Party

Arielle gripped Lucas' hand harder, asking the man to turn around to accompany her. Lucas let out a long sigh and regained his composure. It was really not his character to be easily angered like this.

"Your Majesty, if you feel uncomfortable with your two siblings, just tell me so I can report it to His Majesty. His Majesty will punish them," Lucas said.

Arielle shook her head slowly. 

"No, they are still my two siblings," answered Arielle faintly, making Lucas shake his head sadly. Arielle was too good to the people who had bullied her. Lucas promised himself he would be more careful in the future.

The two of them left the Whitethorn Palace for the Colosseum, where the nobles gathered for the hunting party. Arielle actually didn't like this kind of activity.

She always couldn't bear to see the dead animals that the knights and princes brought home. They would boast of their catch by rewarding their greatest game for their women.
