What the Hell? [Part 3]
Well, the most crucial figure, His Majesty, was currently going “Woo-hoo!” berserk in the forest, so this was the case where they would be left happier not knowing anything.
“That said, the ones left in the campsite right now are only the noble male students and their guards... This is troubling...” Melsa fell into thought.
For the king, someone who should be protected the most, to enter the forest meant that most capable knights and hunters also entered the forest to guard the king.
They couldn’t ask the students studying Monster Science and their guards to deliver the letter. The forest was very dangerous.
“Just as you can expect, monsters are impossible for me, okay?”
They wanted to deliver the letter as fast as possible, but even the ninja apprentice had too little experience in facing monsters.
“Umm... This turns out to be more difficult than I thought. I probably should have negotiated an extra fee for this.”
This has turned into something troublesome. Hue gripped the letter and looked up at the sky.

Let’s rewind for a bit.
In a certain room of the Royal Castle, four people, including Queen Victoria, the prime minister, and knight order commander, gathered secretly at the urgent call of Concubine Rose.
In this world with monsters, nations had always helped each other, albeit with interests involved.
Without it, mankind couldn’t have survived.
Out of all people, Victoria’s own son was involved in the Empire’s scheme, which could also be called an act of aggression.
Just like Rose said, it was hard to believe.
However, Victoria mustn’t let her love for her son cloud her judgment. She took a deep breath as she tried to stabilize her emotions.
Because Victoria was the queen.
She must protect the Kingdom and its people.
“Victoria-sama, let’s send a letter to His Majesty immediately.”
The prime minister, who was also present, advised Victoria in a low voice.
‘It is, no doubt, the most perilous situation since I became the prime minister.
And despite that, for the king to be absent at such a time... No, anyone in the Royal Castle knows the king would be absent at this time. Meaning, His Highness Maximillian too.’
The prime minister’s back was drenched in uncomfortable sweat.
