"I will be a Villain in this life."

19. Hunt

Two years later.

It has been two years since Yibo had become Silas's disciple and it has been two years ago nice he had Sean had started to exchange letters.

A lot has happened and a lot had changed Silas as a priest is an angel while Silas as a master is a monster.

Needless to say, Silas has made Yibo cry tears of blood while he was his master, his training his discipline no wonder Silas is a high priest.

But after many days Yibo had become accustomed to him.

Moreover, he and Sean had become good friends. Yibo had many times asked Sean for a meeting but Sean would always best that it wasn't the right time yet.

Moreover, in the past two years, Yibo Became quite sure that Sean was the Duke's son and was still alive.

But h never he had the guts to ask him however today as he was writing his letter he Wrote, whether Sean was Duke Seth's son.

However, as a reply, he received, "time will tell."

and after that, no letter came for me a week, for a moment Yibo thought that mean had gotten angry and another time he thought that maybe something happened to Sean and his anxiety was becoming worse.

"Your highness are you ready for the hunt? Silas asked him.

The national hunt competition which was organized by the royal family every five years the people from all over the kingdom, as well as other kingdoms, would come to take part in it.

And now since Yibo was old enough to take part in it Silas had advised him to take part in the hunt.

To which Yibo gladly agreed after two years he will be seeing the empress and the emperor.

"Your highness you have completed your teaching under me and it will be the first time you will be going out after entering the temple hence I shall give you a present."

Silas said and raised when towards the sky and a sword appeared in his hand, "your highness from today onwards you will be the owner of Meridia"

Yibo got down on one knee and raised his hands forward while Silas handed him the word, "thank you, master."

The sword shined and a golden light engulfed Yibo before the sword vanished, "Meridia has accepted you as her owner, now you shall prepare for the hunt."

"Yes, master" Yibo felt delighted the highest priest's sword is a divine weapon how can anyone not recognize it.

Yibo was congratulated by his nanny and Jack before he prepared for the hunt.

That night he didn't receive a letter from Sean again, which made him annoyed.

Without Azure, Yibo didn't know how to context Sean.

So he went to the hunting field with a grumpy face.

Many people from commoners to nobility to the royalty were gathered at the ground.

Many of them were excited to see Yibo since he was the priest's disciple but the ones who were the most annoyed were the second Prince Damon and the empress.

"What a pity, nowadays even traitors can become the priest's disciple." Damon mocked while his group of friends laughed at him.

Yibo shook his head and sighed, " the high priest has proved that with skill talent, and dedication even a sinner can be redeemed and shine like a gold

That's the difference between luck and deserving otherwise with Luck even a donkey can become a prince."

A few people who were surrounding them tried to control their laughter even Damon's friends couldn't help but smile while Yibo winked and walked in the other direction.

The second prince was so angry that could kill Yibo right here right now, till the next of this hint Yibo will not be able to live and that's the promise of the second prince himself

Soon the emperor made an Announcement," to all the warriors gathered here, I welcome you all, I hope that you will learn something new and gain Angkor experience.

As well as make a good memory, this is a competition and not a war hence be considerate for you opponents, all the best to everyone."

After the emperor was seated the minister read the rules.

"The Imperial knights will release the ferals as well as the feral animals, those who will hunt the maximum number of feral animals will be third

The one who will hunt the maximum number of ferals humans will be second.

And the one who will hunt the largest number of both ferals and feral animals combined shall win. And the winner shall get ten thousand gold coins and a chance to be a guest at the Imperial Palace, for a month. "

The feral human is actually the criminals on the death row who were captured and experimented upon till they lose their minds and become emotionless.

These creatures neither feel pain nor desire but they are quite strong and can be vicious they will rip their enemy with their bare hands or eat them alive.

They are alive but still dead since they can't speak nor feel and neither feel hunger or pain.

And Fearless animals are mostly dogs or who are turned into monsters, every year many people die because of them But still receive a high bonus for participation, hence many poor helpless people take part in it.

Soon the horn blew and all the participants ran towards the forest and the ferals were also released filling the atmosphere with a monstrous noise.

Yibo sighed and found a tall tree and sat at the top of it to observe the ground.

He took out his bow and arrow before taking a good posture and one by one shot down the ferals.

The Arrows with his name were the proof that it was him who killed the ferals while the guards were there to confirm that as well.

Yibo with a Victorious smirked changed his position and hunted a fair amount of ferals.

The competition time ended soon and the horn blew again to announce that the  hunt had ended

On the first day, Yibo had come second while someone by the name of lotus brothers.

What the hell? A duo?

Nonetheless, Yibo secured the second rank while the second prince came tenth, and then the lowest were eliminated.

Yibo smirked when he saw the second prince in the crowd, "dear brother I hope you understand the difference between deserving and lucky now."

Damon wanted to say something but under the empress's gaze, he remained quiet, while Yibo turned towards the empress and smirked before bowing.
