Chapter 16: Unexpected Guest

Claudia gasped when she saw the figure of her ex-fiancé walking towards the arena carrying a firearm. Judging from the way Harris carries the weapon with one hand, it looks like he is already adept at hunting. 

In her heart, Claudia was very disappointed because all this time Harris had lied about her not being able to hold a firearm. However, on the one hand, did Harry deliberately invite Harris at a time like this so that Claudia would find out about the little lie that Harris was hiding? Claudia's eyes looked at Harry for a moment, who showed a sinister smile as if this had been planned. 

As a humble noblewoman, Claudia still respects Harris despite the status of their relationship as exes. Claudia bowed and showed a friendly smile. 

"You came here too, Harris," answered Claudia. 

Harris did not show any guilt for lying to Claudia. However, his heart still ached looking at the woman in front of him now as just his ex and moreover his brother's wife. 

"I didn't expect my brother to invite me to go hunting while you two were dating," said Harris in a flat tone. 

Claudia straightened her body again, with a confident look she leaned closer to Harris. "Why did you lie to me? Don't you always say you never go hunting?"

Now it was Harry's turn to show his cocky side. He stood in the middle position between Claudia and Harris. Actually, there was a purpose behind him inviting Harris to hunt suddenly. Seeing the look on his wife's face looking disappointed, this actually made Harry satisfied. 

"Wow, you lied to your ex-girlfriend! Why did you lie to my wife, when you are so good at hunting?" Harry glanced sarcastically at his wife while patting his brother's shoulder. 

Harris snorted in annoyance as he brushed his brother's hand away. "I lied to get a date with Claudia. If he finds out that I'm good at hunting, every time you invite me to hunt, he'll tell me to just follow you."

Harry nodded and folded his arms. "I see. I thought you were hiding it on purpose because playing this game would dirty your already pure dirty hands. You're afraid your ex will think of you as a monster."

Even though she had heard Harris' reasons for lying, Claudia was still disappointed because it could be said that she was the reason Harris had to lie. However, for some reason hearing what Harry had just said made Claudia believe it more. 

His eyebrows lowered, Harris held both of his ex's hands. "I'm sorry I lied to you, Claudia."

Claudia shook her head quickly. "It doesn't matter. Besides, what's the point of bringing up such a small matter?" For a moment, her eyes sharpened at her husband. 

"But, are you sure you can hunt? "Even though this is a men's game," asked Harris, looking at his ex's curly hands, which still looked soft. 

"Don't worry, I taught you earlier. What is certain is that today I invite you to compete. Right?" said Harry while looking at his younger brother. 

"Alright, it's been a long time since we competed."

Before competing, Harry called Sarah and Thomas to take care of his wife while he was competing with Harris. Now in the open field only Harry and Harris. While Claudia stood at a distance guarded by the assistants. 

In the middle of the two brothers' match, Claudia watched Harris with focus. Especially if you look at Harris' shooting technique which is comparable to Harry's. Even if you calculate the scores from their hunting results, it might only be a slight difference or a tie. 

Now Claudia doesn't want to defend anyone. Now he was standing near Thomas, not wanting to miss the opportunity to dig up information about the two brothers.

"By the way, Thomas, do you usually accompany Harry when he goes hunting every Sunday?"

"Even on big days he prefers to hunt in the forest. If he hunts like this he considers it a very small thing."

"What about Harris? Did he also do the same thing as his brother?"

"There's no need to question Harris. In fact, sometimes when you're busy meeting with members of the Scarlet Community, he even invites Harry to go hunting."

Another thing that Harris has not revealed is that Harris could actually take the initiative to invite him to go hunting. This means that it can be concluded that Harris is actually good at using firearms. However, because he is in a romantic relationship, he has to hide the dirty things he does. 

Sarah was also surprised to hear the real facts. In her heart, she felt sorry for her master who had been cheated all this time. Even though at first she always defended Harris, for some reason now he defended Harry a little. Thanks to Harry, one truth was revealed. 

Sarah took the initiative to comfort Claudia, whose heart was hurting due to being lied to by Harris since the first meeting. She took a bottle of mineral water for Claudia while patting her shoulder. 

"You seem tired, Claudia. "After the match ends, I will ask Harry's permission to take you home."

Claudia shook her head. "No need. I want to stay here until the game ends. Besides, I've always been curious about Harris' abilities."

After the match ended, which Harris won this time, Claudia became even more disappointed because Harris' abilities were better than Harry's. Is it possible that Harry deliberately gave in to Harris so that Harris looked superior? 

Before returning to their respective homes, the five of them enjoyed the dishes they had hunted. However, seeing that the number of dishes on this large dining table seemed to be lacking, Claudia was a little suspicious about where the results of Harry's hunt had been since competing with the two ministers? Were all the results of Harry's hunt given to the two ministers? 

"Wow, it looks delicious when you enjoy food from hunting!" Harry cheered, enjoying his meal with gusto. 

"But why is it Harris's cooking? Where is yours?" Claudia asked with narrowed eyes. 

"Oh, I'll give it to the two ministers." Harry raised his right eyebrow. "Are you disappointed?"

"No."

Harry rolled his eyes. "I mean, are you surprised that my little brother is superior to me?"
