The Countess’ Counters [Part 1]

-Campsite-

“P-Pardon... Is it really alright?”

The Skyte hunters left behind to guard the campsite looked around vigilantly and nervously as they talked to the Countess.

“Yes, of course.”

The Countess replied with her unchanging calm and cold expression, starkly contrasting with the jittery hunters.

“U-Um, if we do this on our own accord, will we...”

‘Won’t we be blamed for this later,’ the several knights who stayed in the campsite also asked anxiously.

“They should be able to understand if they think about it deeply. His Majesty’s return has already been delayed this much. At this point, it’s not a stretch to call this an unforeseen situation. You might feel more at ease if you stick to the orders, but sometimes, you must use your head and react accordingly to the circumstances.”@@@@

Countess Melsa Stuart silenced the hunters and knights with her words and piercing cold gaze.

“E-excuse us, Countess! M-May we depart now too?”

Francesca’s guardian from House Delacour agreed to Melsa’s words, but he still looked around the area cautiously as if finding it creepy. Although he was a somewhat skilled guardian who also doubled as a guard, he wasn’t confident he could protect Francesca from monsters.

‘In the first place, why and when did Young Lady Francesca enter the forest without us realizing it?’ He couldn’t help but be perplexed.

“Please return safely soon. As soon as possible...”

House Simmons and House Delacour’s coachmen nodded to each other, sat on the driver’s seat, and held the reins so they could set off for even a second sooner.

The guardians stared intently at the entrance to the forest, waiting eagerly for the return of the precious daughters of their masters.

“!”

“!”

Just as the situation became tenser and tenser, a gigantic body that was completely clueless about the strained atmosphere suddenly jumped out of the forest’s entrance at high speed. The king was the first to rush out when he sensed something unusual at the campsite.

“Woah!”

“Uwah!”

The guardians from House Simmons and Delacour, who had been staring at the forest while waiting, exclaimed in surprise at the king’s vigor. They thought it was a monster because of its speed and huge body, but it turned out to be the king.
