The Original Purpose [Part 3]
“Woah... Are those... the you-know-what I’m thinking of?”
William, beside Emma, followed her line of sight before exclaiming, “Aren’t we in pretty big trouble?” and turning to look at the Lord of Skyte.
Those were quite a tough monster to deal with their current members.
Even his father, brother, and uncle, who were pros at hunting, were most likely to have a clumsy stance against species that didn’t appear in Palace.
“Why a troublesome kind appears of all things...”
The one-armed Skyte Lord signaled his hunters with his eyes. Surrounding the party from the front were monsters that had a relatively high appearance rate in Skyte. However, normally only one or two would appear. This time, there were too many of them.
The hunters nodded silently to the lord’s signal and quickly lit their reserve lamps.
It was getting dark, but their group had been keeping the light to a minimum so that the monsters in the forest wouldn’t find them. But they couldn’t do that anymore.
Because they stood little chance against this monster in the dark.
Darkness summoned fear in people.
“Your Majesty... Do you understand that we are surrounded by monsters from the front? Although their sizes are not big, please do still be careful. Those monsters attack the human mind. Listen carefully, okay? You must NEVER look into their eyes. But don’t lose sight of them either.”
Arban took out his favorite bow as he explained to the King.
“Count check! Seven!” Leonard shouted.
“Seven!” Arban responded.
“Seven!”
George, who was protecting the young ladies with the prince and Arthur a little further away, also answered.
“Seven!” William also said the number of monsters he had checked earlier.
When there were multiple monsters, comparing each other’s counting results was an unskippable procedure.
“Nine!” Emma responded the last.
“...nine, huhh.” Leonard nodded.
“Huh?”
‘What’s the logic?’ The King tilted his head in confusion.
In the event of a four-to-one disagreement, the majority’s opinion should usually be adopted. However, this was not the case in the Stuart family. They prioritized Emma’s judgment as her eyes were trained by insect collecting.
“Nine it is.”
Arban also adopted Emma’s answer without a speck of doubt (this is simply a move only the niece-con does).
