Chapter 102 - The Main Hunting

The woods were lively with nobles and the royal family, the air thick with the smell of damp earth and the restless energy of the hunt. The main hunting event had begun; the rule was simple, whoever gets to kill the most game in the woods gets to ask for something, and the king is to grant it. This promise of a royal favor hung over the crowd like a heavy prize, driving every lord and lady to tighten their grip on their weapons as they moved through the dense brush.
