“I couldn’t beat Brother Riggs in swordsmanship, so…”
Yurina laughed at the twins and beckoned to them. Two pairs of gray-blue eyes sparkled with anticipation.
“What? What’s there? Do you have something to say to your brother?”
“Yurina, what is that in your hand?”
Even though their names were embroidered on their handkerchiefs, the two men were trembling, pretending to be surprised.
“Well, whose handkerchief will it be?”
Thinking of playing a trick on them, Yurina carefully waved her handkerchief in the air. The heads of the two moved after her hand. Now it seemed that she had become a trainer, taming animals with a piece of meat.
Yurina gave everyone a handkerchief. Edwin and Justin quickly wrapped a handkerchief around the hilt of their sword.
“Of course, thanks to the beautiful embroidery, the sword has taken on a new look.”
“It seems that no embroiderer in the Empire can catch up with our sister.”
“You should have been careful. Your deer didn’t give up to me. Come back unharmed.”
“I’m thinking of catching a fox.”
“What? A fox?” Edwin asked hastily.
“Let’s make a shawl out of the tail, it will be warm.”
“Winter is over. And I don’t need anything like that.”
So, a fox tail shawl. For some reason, Yurina had a vision of a whole fox around her neck. Suddenly, goosebumps spread across my skin.
“Then I’ll catch you a rabbit.”
“And why a rabbit?”
“If I bring it back alive, can’t we keep him as a pet?”
“He will nibble all the flowers in the garden. And I don’t think I want to court…”
“What about the deer? Stuffed head…”
“Oh, really, brother…”
The start was still a long way off, but the twins were already glowing with enthusiasm. Yurina decided to interrupt this conversation. She always tried to be calm. But it is in front of the twins that she always grumbles.
“Don’t worry about me and do your thing. Just bring something like a fox tail or deer head.”
The two men laughed.
“You have beautiful hair today.”
Belatedly emphasized Edwin.
Yurina gently touched her head. It was a hairdo because she was afraid that everyone would see the wound. But no one seems to have noticed.
“Indeed. Modest, but beautiful.”
“Is it so good?”
“Umm. Yes, it is.”
“Then I should do this hairstyle more often.”
The three men who stood close didn’t see the wounds. Yurina breathed a sigh of relief.
“Yurina, you be careful too,” Justin suddenly muttered as he patted Yurina on the head.
“Do I have anything to fear? I’ll be at the villa.”
At the villa, where all the servants remained, magical prohibitions were imposed by the personal wizards of the imperial family.
The principle of operation was unknown, but it was said that the whole place was safe and wild animals couldn’t get inside. If a member of the imperial family participated in the event, there was no need to worry about safety.
But Justin still looked over Yurina’s shoulder.
“I’m not talking about wild animals…”
Yurina suddenly froze and looked around.
‘Curtis.’
The protagonist of the original and the prince of the Empire now competed in the tournament from the royal family.
Curtis had already entered his age, and was interested in Yurina.
After trying to invite her to the ceremony, the three brothers began to guard her.
‘I’ll manage it somehow without you three.’
The moment she tried to nod her head, to tell Justin that she understood his advice, Yurina met Curtis’s gaze, who was looking around at that moment. Even from a distance, his startling golden eyes stared at Yurina like they were nailed down.
The Curtis’ lips, who never took his eyes off Yurina, slowly drew a crooked line. Yurina hurriedly hid behind Justin’s back, avoiding that gaze.
‘It will be a headache.’
‘Because it was an official event, I thought I would meet Curtis, but I didn’t know I would see him so soon. In addition, even if I met him, I would wish that he didn’t show interest in me. But seeing his face now, my hopes flew to the wind.’
Riggs now noticed Curtis too.
“Listen to Justin, Yurina. If possible, hide.”
Yurina suddenly opened up and laughed at her three older brothers who were more serious than herself.
“Don’t worry about me. And come back with the loot.”
