I Became the Fiancé of a Dragon in Romance Fantasy

Chapter 20: Hunting competition (2)

In the middle of the hunting competition, inside the forest, Alan Aiden was on horseback with his head bowed, and he was swearing.

Damn it, damn you, Physis Ortaire and Rodenov....!

The swear words that he spat out were tinged with deep anger and hatred. After insulting Adilun and being beaten by Physis, no one around him tried to come to him and offer help in their fight for the territory. It was as if they were buried in an aristocratic society.

'I couldnt even find someone to help me with a great duel because those Rodenov and Ortaire combined, had the strongest power among all the nobles within the empire.'

Central nobles were the ones who enjoyed watching other peoples ruin, so they just happily laughed at Alan.

Its crazy. I should have done that in an undetected place.

How can I be so stupid?

I recognized it from the time I hung out with the lowly merchants. I did nothing wrong, and What does that Physis, a man without dignity believe in and be so proud of?

A strong bond of central nobles, nothing like that actually existed. It was a relationship where everyone used each other for their own needs.

Because of that, the only thing left in front of Alan Aiden was the abyss called the great duel with Rodenov, so that's why he was cursing Physis and all the local nobles.

The knights of Rodenov are notorious for their ruthlessness. Alan never thought that the knights of his territory would defeat those who had been fighting monsters all their life.

Yes, if I'm going to die anyway I will just not die simply. Yes, I will do this...

He thought about shooting a crossbow at Princess Rodenov, Adilun, but that was already impossible.

The place where the princesses were staying was guarded by knights, so his head will fly off as soon as he showed strange behavior. In other words, it was impossible to shoot a crossbow.

'No that's not gonna work, hmm so, what should I do?'

Alan began to think of a way. which can harm Adilun or her family.

Damn it. If Id been a little more careful with my surroundings, Id just be hunting not worrying about these things!

Alan was a fan of hunting. If it hadnt been for this, he would have enjoyed the hunt, but he just lingered and pondered over and over again in the forest.

But, suddenly, in his mind, what Lobelia had said before the hunting competition started to come.

[This hunting competition may be a bit difficult. Besides simply catching a lot of animals for high scores, or trying to catch the single animal with the highest score can be quite dangerous.]

If its a dangerous game They probably used a monster in it too. In particular, there are only a few knights participating in the hunting competition, but theres no way theyd give a high score with only animals.

What if I somehow find the monster and lure it to Princess Rodenov? What if I attack Princess Rodenov with an arrow while everyones eyes are on that monster?

But he soon shook his head.

No. She said they were definitely deep in the forest. And on top of that, its hard to lure it with my skills. I will definitely die before I lure him and drag it to the place where the princesses are located.

He continued to hover around the hunting ground.

While he was circling the hunting ground and shooting arrows at appropriate prey as a way to vent his anger, a unique and small animal caught his eye.

What is that?

It was the first time he was seeing an animal like this but since it was an event for the imperial family, there was nothing strange about having a unique animal in it, but the shape of that animal was too unusual.

It looked like a wolf cub with many eyes, its fur shone with gold, but its eyes were dark and muddy as the abyss. Also, there was a small horn attached to what appeared to be a head, but it never looked like an ordinary animal.

Its a monster. But it's very small, is it a baby?

And the moment he guessed that it was a child of a monster, a plan popped into Alans head.

Theres a high possibility of having a child of a monster in the hunting ground. If I secure this guy It is not difficult to lure the big mother too. Monster values their children, so they will definitely do everything they can to find them. Wolf-type monsters are especially sensitive to the smell of their cubs blood. She will definitely come looking for it no matter how far it is.

After thinking thus far, he swiftly fired his crossbow at the baby monster. Although Alan had nothing else to offer, his hunting skills were still at a usable level.

Swish!

The arrow from the crossbow flew ferociously and pierced into the body of the baby monster.

Done!

He immediately rode the horse and secured the baby monster. The bleeding monster whimpered pathetically, but Alan didnt care at all and rather dripped the monsters blood onto the road little by little for the mother to discover it.
