When we noticed noise coming closer to us I made hand sigh to prepare to use slingshot to throw a stone to tree so we could see sound source. We both took slingshot from our pocket. I started to shot one stone far away tree. When stone hit noise stopped. After that Herman shot stone to closer tree. Then we saw Albert Rowan with his bow. And we both called to him.
We are here.
Then Albert started take aim at us until he noticed who we were.
What are you doing here?
Herman started to explain to his father what we were doing here. After that Albert expresion changed from lightly angry to considerable reliefed look.
Ok. You can go to tarboulder but with one of the soldiers.
We agreed of course. Even if we didn´t like it we couldn´t say anything back. He might be small man but aura around him is everything else but weak. Also soldier how came was my ungle George. He is just 21 years old but has skill to come hunting trip with royalty. He is my father´s youngest brother and most likely he is going to be my sister´s godfather. Since my father became carpenter he chose a career of soldier from three options. Go to army, church or leave town. Obviously he choosed the first option.
We haven´t meet long time. How is your sister doing?
Of course my sister is healthy and doing well. I think you have not meet my sister yet. Am I right?
I said and asked.
No I haven´t but I have heard a lot from Edvart when he is building village´s church.
My father´s work time is used to build church. It is really difficult because two different churches are fighting for which religions church will it be. So building have to be build by both ways. There is priest from west and nun from east kingdom. So in village there is silent war between both sides and my father is right middle of it. This is not easy since my sister is going to be the first person to be dew to the right way. It is important moment to both sides so neither one is backing down.
Is everything going all right back there? I asked.
Nothing what you should pay attention to.
We all knew where the place is so when we arrived time was wait start of the hunt. This isn´t our first time together. Actually we are together pretty often. Basically George is our two´s nanny. He is actually the one who invented children war game to us. It started by hiding from George and then trying to make suprise attack without him noticing it. We haven´t succeeded even once. In addition he is able to disappear completely which is why he is valued at information searches.
George was wondering.
Did you get permission to come here from your family before.
Of course we had come here before but only at winter and summer. We said.
Reason for it is at spring and autumn there is lot of animal and people this place. So it isn´t save those time come here, we heard.

Now we see lot of people further away from the square. Most people had some expensive clothes and bows or spears on horse back. I hope they understand that spears do nothing good at the hunt and if dear gets into dense forest. Even name Earpiece forest name comes from one of the hunts.
In the past when people started hunt dears by bow. One person almost shoot his dog´s head but fortunately only dog´s ear came of. After that day forest was called Earpiece forest to remind hunters to shoot only when there is no change to hit others.
I hope everyone have heard the stoty and taken notice of it. Well there is a lot of experienced hunters and people seem to be going as ordered.
Most people have doubts of Albert´s skills since he is so small. This time everything seems to be fine but hopefully it is also inside to.
We see some rabbits running away but people aren´t interested about them. Some people take them if given change when rabbit is outside of nobles eyes.
There doesn´t seem to be any dears anywhere near us. We know it because it is rutting season for dears. Hunter´s are probably most likely taking other place or end it for a day.
Normally hunt would be ending for a day but now there is royalty here. This call might affect future of the village.
Soon order to leave the place called in the square. So everyone started to prepare for leaving.
Seem like it is time to go home. Herman said.
I have to agree with him. Yeah, we probably can´t come here tomorrow. We should take note of this moment in our minds. We both agreed with that as I started to go home and Herman to his father. Suddenly George ordered us to stop for a moment. He seems to be looking at forest from us to west.
There seem to be people preparing an ambush. I don´t know if there is more some other places. People in the square probably can´t see them. They will attack if I call for them and if someone comes there at this moment.
Situation must be quite difficult since George usually doesn´t say many words continually. Even I got nervous.
Since they are from the west they must be from same Polgon kingdom as well as the guest. We have to warn other somehow. It is good that people choosed to leave in other cases they would have been too tired to do anything.
George seems to be thinking quickly.
Seem like I have to make ambush alone.
Even I can tell that is suicidal. Only way George could surrive is firstly by hiding himself but then group would go a attack. Secondly hoping others would arrive soon. Thirdly by giving enemy false information like the bee trap.
Third one is the most dangerous option but gives the best change of success when done right. Since he is George. He might be able to do first safely but would it work. No matter which to choose there is huge doubt with everything.
Would it be possible to make them think that there is more than one enemy in their rearguard.
Seems like Herman was thingking aloud. But it would be great plan if it works. Then I remembered that if we put some twigs and sticks after George´s horse then we could fool the enemies by using cloud of dust. They would think that there is cavalry coming to them. Of course if they are looking what is happening behind the ridge or they know in village there is only eight horses plan will fail. Even if its fails it should give change to others noticing something is wrong and buy us some time.
I suggested to the recent because the land is dry and the dust is filling the old tar yield. Everyone seems to agree but only one how can move twigs and sticks is George. So I and Herman left to look at which road to take so dusk cloud would be as big as possible.
It seem like we have hurry since people in the square are coming this way. We have to figure out to buy time more. We could use slingshots again but enemies most likely notice it to and take perfect change to attack. Also we could use deer rut cry to make everyone take notice of surrouding but that endanger our security. Also we can´t do deer rut cry and George is too far away to notice it.
Seem like we have to use our secret weapon the whistle. This whistle doesn´t give any noise to us but somehow I know that animals do hear something. When I started to blow the whistle horses around us started to panic around us. It caused havoc in the ranks of the enemy but also Viscount´s ranks but we got acquired enough additional time by blowing hard three times.
George was ready soon after a technical difficulties with horse and started to ride the route which we had chosen for him.
Enemy seems to be thinking that horses heard approaching cavalry so they left in the hurry. Seem like plan worked but it is shame that we didn´t get any of them. So we don´t know how sent them here. Reason might be the prince, other noble, viscount or possibly plans to start a war.
George soon came back after he explaned what happened just now. Hopefully they aren´t coming to take the whistle. It took many hour to build it. And change is that I can´t make similar whistle againg. But George came to tell us to leave in a hurry. Since second prince has get interested how did scare enemy away and it seems like it is better to be hated by royalty than to be liked by them. Seems like I have to learn more about things in the world.
