The Queen’s Letter [Part 3]
“In any case, we must defeat them before His Majesty goes berserk...!”
“Right.”
As the knight’s cries of fear became contagious, Arban fired an arrow before William could finish his sentence. Bows and arrows capable of long-range attacks are effective for monsters that are difficult to approach.
But,
“Ah!”
“...I missed, huh.”
Arban scrunched his face.
Rainbow raccoons were nimble and had excellent eyesight. Even Arban, who had mastered archery, seemed to have lower accuracy due to the constraint of not making eye contact with the target.
“Alrighty, let’s prepare to return while we still can.”
Leonard lifted his head.
“Uh-huh.”
“Eh?”
“Okaayy.”
Emma’s hands also reluctantly left the King’s cheeks.
“William, should we collect all those for now?”
George, who was standing a little further away, had already moved behind William from who knows when.
“Umm... Since Father said those monsters are not that tasty, I don’t really feel like collecting them... The fur... I also have never seen them being sold anywhere.”
“Even if we collect them, will we have any use for them...” Despite silently complaining, William still followed behind George.
“Wait a minute? Emma-chan, Prof. Arban said he missed just now, didn’t he?”
“Hey, this... Its fur color still changes even when it’s already dead, huh...”
The rainbow-colored raccoon that William dragged was of earth color, and the ones that George was holding had changed to colors that blended perfectly with the background, matching the color and texture of George’s hands, clothes, and even the sky.
“...Which means, if we sew this into a coat, and let His Majesty in his current appearance wear it... in the end, it will be...”
Emma ran over, wanting to see the monsters that rarely appeared in Palace, but immediately gasped when catching a glimpse of the rainbow raccoons.
“The Emperor’s New Clothes...”
“ “ “PFFT!!!” ” ”
Leonard, George, and William wheezed.
“Hey, Nee-sama! Stop that!”
“Emma, you...”
“Yup, yup, Emma is such a jokester.”
The Stuart family giggled loudly because of the joke from their previous life.
“...Eh? Was there anything funny just now?”
“Uhh, who knows?”
However, the knights and hunters nearby were all confused.
“Ughh...”
And Arban, who didn’t get the joke even though he was also a Stuart, could only groan in loneliness.
“Alrighty, let’s speed up our retreat. We have to return to the Royal Capital.”
The naked King raised his proud, magnetic voice.
They must return to the Royal Capital before it was attacked.
However, the family would later regret not finishing off that one rainbow raccoon that Arban’s arrow missed.
...as it would only be a short countdown to the encounter between the vengeful rainbow raccoon and the monster sent by the Empire.
