TWISTED FATE OF THE KNIGHT

Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Hunting Event Part 5

Ilang minuto din kaming naglakad at nakita namin sila Lady Miary with Gin, Marquess Ronan with his aide, I think, Prince Hanz with Dave, Ian, and other nobles and knight looking at the Big tree in the center. Hindi lang ordinaryong puno kundi magical tree because you can feel the immense amount of mana and you can see the faint light around the tree means it has a lot of mana there.

They didn't notice us since they're looking at the tree and I didn't notice that it has something in the center of the tree like fruit. I ask Prince Renz kung ano iyon and he answered me it is a magical beast but not an ordinary magical animal since it can communicate to people that will just awaken and it will follow you if someone meets its standard. He explained to me that magical animals are hard to get since it only appears every 20 years all around the world and it's the first time that a magical beasts show up here in Winter Kingdom kaya napahanga ako dahil hindi ko alam na mahirap palang makuha at makita ang mga magical beasts. He also said that this one is newborn since usually daw ay nakabantay na dapat ito sa mga magical tree/magical river/magical swamp/magical mountain at ito ang unang beses na nakakita siya nang ganito.

Napalingon naman ako sa likod namin dahil sa may narinig akong kaluskos at nakita ko si Kil with Klin. They look unscathed since I can't see any bloodstain in their clothes. Kil waved at me as if he was so happy to see me but I didn't wave back at him because I cannot forget what he did to me in the shop last time.

"Hey. Why so cold?" He said nung makalapit na siya sa amin. He greeted Prince Renz so Renz look back and he greeted him back as he looked back at the tree. Napatingin din naman si Kil sa puno at naamaze sa nasaksihan niya.

"Your Highness, does this tree have something to do with the hunting?" I ask Prince Renz kaya napatingin siya sa akin at pati na din si Kil.

"Well, sort of, since anyone here can get the magical beasts will be awarded and has the opportunity to enter the imperial palace with a higher position." He answered me so I just nodded.

"Then, how do the magical beasts choose their master?" I ask again.

"It's very simple little Avy. You will only attack the magical tree with all your might then hold the tree for seconds." Kil told me and Prince Renz just seconded. Really is that all? 

"That simple but why they aren't getting started?" sabi ko dahil tinitignan lang nila ang puno mula kanina pa na dumating kami.

"Don't you see it?" Prince Renz told me while looking at the tree so I looked forward and saw the tree is producing light but not the tree but it comes from the magical beasts. We all blinded by the light since it is too bright for us to look at it. 

"That was a troublesome light," Kil commented as he was covering his eyes.

Although, I can see a little since I was trained back then so I can see the magical beasts transform and I could see a shadow of a dog? I guess? I am not sure of it. Pagkatapos mawala nung liwanag na galing sa magical beasts ay doon ko lang naaninag ng mabuti at isang baby wolf ang natutulog sa may puno. Kulay abo ang kanyang balahibo na may shade ng light blue at masasabi kong napakacute nito. 

We all looked at the sleeping baby beasts at the trunks of the tree. Nagtinginan ang lahat at doon lang kami nagkatinginan ni Lady Miary at lahat ng andoon. Everyone in there greeted Prince Renz since he walks forward to the tree and announces that everyone can have their chance to hit the tree and the first one to try is the one who first arrived. Since we are second to last who just arrive ay maghihintay kami pagturn na namin since Prince Renz refuses to be the first one and told us that it will be unfair for those who arrive first. All of them agreed and clap for Prince Renz as a good model and not taking for granted his status as a Prince while Kil teasing Prince Renz that even guys will be falling in love with him but Prince Renz just punches him. Kil immediately dodges Prince Renz while he said that he was joking so Prince Renz stopped. They look like a children lalo na si Prince Renz dahil pikon siya kay Kil pero pati din pala si Kil dahil hanggang ngayon ay inaasar si Renz. Prince Renz told Kil to stop or else he will really kill him so Kil acting to close his mouth as he put his arms in the air. Prince Renz commented 'good' since Kil didn't open his mouth again.
