Chapter 344

Splat! [Part 1]

Nearly one hour since entering the borderland Skyte’s forest.

Emma and her friends were steadily making their way to the king.

“T-There’s no monsters here, unlike expected, is there?”

Francesca, who had been looking around restlessly and timidly, patted her chest in relief since they hadn’t seen even one monster in the forest.

“You will be alright as long as you stay close to Koumei-san.”

Riding on Koumei’s back, Emma smiled at Francesca, who was walking beside the cat. Monsters with even a little bit of intelligence would never approach Koumei on their own will.

“Everyone, watch your steps and the road in front of you carefully as you walk.”

No monsters attacked them from the front, but some pounced from behind in an underhanded way several times now. Those monsters were dealt with and sent flying by Koumei’s tail without a sound as if she was only swatting pesky flies.

Even if her father and uncle were here, they were already way passed the place her father tacitly decided to be the point to turn back when hunting with laymen.

Emma could hardly think her father would allow her to proceed any further than this. Something unforeseen might also happen.

Emma had always been said to be the main culprit of every trouble, but she herself frankly thought that her family was no different from other families.

“Even so, I wonder what is the urgent message for the king, Catherine?”

“I’m curious what’s the urgent message for the king, Caitlyn?”

The twins walking behind Francesca and Marion on either side of Koumei said they were curious while looking at Hue, who was removing the monster traps William set so that the young ladies wouldn’t get caught in it.

The urgent news to the king.

No Kingdom’s nobles didn’t know that the queen was more well-versed in politics than the king.

The twins couldn’t imagine that the queen would go out of her way to employ a boy like him to send a message to the king in Skyte.
