Hunting trip

For the first time in a while, I was finally let outside.

I was surrounded by several men in dark clothes that all belonged to the Snake Syndicate. They looked like they were there to protect me, but there was no mistake that they would have cut me down at any moment if they were even the slightest bit suspicious of me.

They had been sent by Duke Yuletide to make sure that I did what I was supposed to do.

As for what that was, there was a reason why I had been brought to the forest like this.

Simply put, I was here to accomplish our goal of taking the Wyvern Stone.

Why the Wyvern Stone would be here, there was a simple reason.

The fourth prince had suddenly proposed a hunting trip, which was why they would soon be arriving in this place.

Duke Yuletide had certainly been surprised that the fourth prince would suggest a hunting trip at a time like this, but it was also the perfect opportunity for him to accomplish his goals.
