I waved my hand, gesturing to the maids to open the door.
“I just had an audience with the council,” he said as he waved some papers. “They were asking permission for a hunting competition in your honour.” he passed me some papers.
I just flipped through them looking for the place where I had to sign.
“When is it?”
“They actually wanted to host it when you became their Queen but since you were busy conquering our neighbours to make the Kingdom into an Empire so they just waited. The hunting competition will be held next week. On the day you-”
“I was poisoned and when they thought I died. Sure no problem.'' I signed it but stopped before writing the last letter ‘a’.
“Wait, I have to be in it?” I asked in disbelief.
“Yes. it will be fine if you watched by the tower or had tea with the ladies but-”
I only half heard him. I quickly opened the drawer and took out a sheet of paper searching for any information about the competition. It appears she competed in it.
Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.
“I’m going to compete in it.” I muttered.
Aeson faltered. “You, what?”
“I’m going to compete!” I signed the paper properly, and handed it to Aeson.
“Whoah whoah whoah. Hold up. Let's talk this through. What if-”
“Are you doubting your strong sister who went to war and conquered a bunch of countries? I have the right to compete since the event is tributed to me.” I snapped.
Aeson pursed his lips and bowed. “As you wish, Sister. But you must have a personal guard with you. ” he insisted.
I did not want that. “Only if they win a sword fight against me. If they do then they get the honours of guarding me. Otherwise, what's the point of a guard?”
“Yes. I will tell them. I will arrange a schedule.” He turned to leave the room.
“Oh, and let's say 50 or 60% of the meat we catch will go to the commoners, and to the people who are suffering the plague.”
Aeson bowed and left the room.
I knew I was making extra work, but it was just in case anyone I knew like Bella, was suffering.
I started to read the events I recorded about Rela. She won the hunt unanimously. She caught the most animals. She there caught more people’s attention, although she had enough. I think she was given a new nickname. Actually two nicknames. I forgot what they were but I will find out later anyways. (Atalanta and artemis.)
There she did meet some major people. Hmm, I'm not sure why I stopped writing about it. It looks like nothing particularly bad happened at the hunt, which meant I could kick out and watch as my body took over, and my thoughts slipped into a dreamless dream.
