Cecilia looked at me confidently, but instead of answering, I hid behind Cecilia as soon as her gaze was fixed on me.
'I'm devastated. I'm completely ruined.'
I think I want to scream.
Why is godmother Mina……!
After it is revealed that Mina is the child of her true destiny, the women in the community despair of somehow making her an adopted daughter (like Leblaine and her godmother).
But Mina,
“I already have someone teaching me etiquette. He always sighed and said he was a tomboy, but I really enjoyed spending time with him.”
He rejected the honorable woman by saying that.
Everyone is curious about godmother Mina, the child of true destiny, who has yet to be revealed.
But I've seen godmother Mina a few times.
That man is Deglid.
“Godmother…! Ah!”
“Don't run. You never listen to me. ”
“ I'm just too excited to meet you.”
When I thought of the two of them in a friendly atmosphere, my head was dizzy.
'When Mina took someone as her godmother, the atmosphere in society was strange.'
All young masters and misses build relationships based on their godmothers.
However, Mina was unaware of this unspoken rule.
But far from being derided, residents began to look after Mina more.
'Godmother laid the way for Mina from behind.'
I feel very uncomfortable with him. Not just because she was Mina's godmother, but because I was once accused of poisoning Mina by her godmother.
“How can you be human…! Think you did that to a kid who treated you well. How can a child be so cruel...!”.
I remember being surprised and not knowing what to do. Moreover, even her godmother's eyes were filled with affection for Mina.
'Godmother Mina never really liked me.'
We only met twice, but I could see it on his face every time.
"Miss, are you okay?"
"No…"
"Are you uncomfortable somewhere?"
I think we're gonna fail this exam.
"I don't think it's gonna work."
While I made a sad expression on my face,
"What is Lady Dubbede?"
Godmother Mina called me. Then I came out from behind Cecilia and lowered my head.
“Blorious for the empire. I greet you…"
"You're a quieter kid than I hear."
He looked at me for a moment, then threw away his face. He looked at the candidates gathered at the hunting grounds and announced the contents of the test.
“What do you think is the priority of a queen? Anyone who embraces the imperial people must be brave and wise. ”
Lady Amboise spread her skirt wide and slightly bent her knees.
"What you say is true."
Another woman followed him and bowed. He lightly held the sword carried by the attendant and continued.
“Boring sewing time is over. Prove me your courage. This test will be about catching the released animals. ”
The candidates' faces darkened in surprise.
This is a pretty tough test for young girls who have never lifted anything heavier than a fork.
Moreover, the weapon prepared by the servants was a sword.
"Not a bow, but a sword ..."
Someone murmured in a confused tone. He answered with a soft face.
“The bow is a weapon that can only be used after repeated practice, but a sword is a weapon that can be used by everyone. Once held, even a four or five-year-old can cut meat.”
'But unlike the bow, which is a long-range weapon, we have to be bolder.'
Is it possible for those who grow up to be nobles to cut off the necks of beasts?
The faces of those with divine power or magic power seemed bright. Because if they use it, they can get ahead of everyone else.
But then he said,
"Magic is forbidden."
“The rabbit is 2 points, the deer is 4 points, and the fox is 6 points. With help, you can only earn half of the points. ”
When the surroundings became quiet, he lay down.
"Let's start."
As soon as he sat on the chair provided by the maid, the hunt began.
***
“Agh!”
"Mother……!"
Screams erupted from all sides.
Candidates and recommenders stumble upon seeing a deer.
The deer may look like a cute animal, but in reality, it is very ferocious and powerful. Especially the ones released.
“Kakak, how to..!”.
“I-this is my first time hunting with a sword, ah!"
Recommendators could also hunt with candidates, but men who grew up as nobles did not know what to do.
Meanwhile, our Cecilia…
"I…"
When he raised his hand, the servant replied.
"Yes?"
“Should we only catch one animal per person?”
"I'm sorry?"
"We don't have to catch just one right?"
"We don't have the maximum, but ......."
Cecilia jumped off the ground, and climbed onto the back of her husband. And when he strangled her, the deer yelled and fainted with a voice.
"Here we go. Stay cool. I won't slit your throat.”
It was easy for Cecilia who used to slit people's throats.
The candidates looked around impatiently.
“Hunting a deer is definitely easier than a fox, let's hurry.”.
“I prefer hunting rabbits..”
"The rabbit has faster legs than the deer."
Meanwhile, I was exploring the bushes.
'Deglid must be a meticulous person.'
Everyone was deeply troubled by the sword they were holding, but there were tools scattered everywhere in the hunting grounds.
'This is it, the net!'
I tied the net to the base of the tree and directed the rabbits into the net.
“Come, login!”
I ran from behind when the rabbit caught the net. I took a rabbit.
"I understand it! Should I unpack it”
Wild rabbits look pretty scary. Their feathers are unkempt, and their claws are sharp. It looks like a cruel animal.
Seeing the rabbit floundering in my hands, people gave me confused expressions.
The waiter was surprised and said, “O-oh no need.”
"Good."
Haha, I laughed and pushed the rabbit into the cage that the servant was holding.
'I wish I could catch a fox for having the highest value.'
Growing up as an orphan in my past life, hunting rabbits was easy for me. Back then, I had to go to the mountain when I was starving or hunting wild animals for a living.
Cecilia and I collected quite a lot of points. Meanwhile, our scores were visible in the air.
***
"God…"
The nobles gathered in front of the screen looked at Cecilia and Leblaine in confusion.
When the other candidates did not know what to do, they already had 7 points.
[Oh! The cecilia! I'll go there! this fox. Come here!]
Leblaine's skills are no different from those of wild animal hunters.
“Lady Dubbede is.. so uhm..”.
What do they want to say?
Although his words could not continue, everyone who saw him agreed.
Godmother Camilla nodded with a smile.
"He's very brave, isn't he?"
Duke Dubbede and Johann replied with similar expressions.
“He usually goes boar hunting with us.”
“When hunting monsters, the knights ask him to advance first.”
The people who heard their booze laughed awkwardly.
The Emperor watched them with flaming eyes.
'true. That's right, take it all!'
In the last test, Cecilia became the last due to the discrimination of the empress dowager. He couldn't sleep thinking that Lady Amboise might win.
The Emperor was very pleased when he saw Leblaine capture the fox.
'What a capable child!'
He always does things perfectly.
When she heard that 9-year-old Leblaine was going to help Cecilia, she was a bit worried. But he is even more capable than Javelin.
Andre and he seemed to be about the same age.No, there was nothing more troublesome than collusion between Marche and Dubbede, so Adrian…
"She seemed to be close to Adrian. "
A son who looked like him and had a handsome face was very helpful!
The emperor smiled happily. He gave Duke Dubbede a refined look. Those who were watching quickly said,
"But, isn't it time for Lady to have a fiancee?"
"No."
Johann glared at the nobleman and replied firmly. The noble spoke awkwardly.
“Most young girls get engaged before they reach their teens.”.
“My sister said she would marry me.”
When the child bragged arrogantly, the father arrogantly crossed his legs.
"No, he said he'd stay with me for the rest of his life."
Hearing their words, Camilla's godmother rubbed her chin lightly and said.
"He doesn't have to get married."
It was the time when the Leblaine unmarried group was launched.
***
'I think we can stop hunting this time.'
We have a total of 19 points.
No matter how hard they try, they won't be able to follow us. At that moment, my communication device let out a voice. It seems Seria has arranged all the materials about the Devil.
'I'll take a break and look at the data. I have to get Adrian back somehow.'
I walked towards the podium that was prepared as a break room.
Then, my eyes met with Deglid who was watching the hunt from the podium.
'By the way, how did Mina and she get to know each other?'
It seems he did not collude with the temple. If he sided with the temple, he would not even think about this test because the temple had strict rules about not killing any creatures.
But…
'uh? Why does my nose itch and my heart…'
Then, Deglid also suddenly gasped and held his forehead.
