"Lord Kurt. "It seems like there's no one left nearby now."

Kurt nodded in response to a report from a resident engineer.

'I guess I'll have to finish it soon.'

As instructed by Prince Mores, he led the resident knights down the mountain and immediately helped the residents of the territory and members of the hunting club evacuate.

The main text of the resident knights is the protection of the prince. However, Prince Mores' will is so strong, and he has Sir Martha, the former head of the Royal Guard, by his side.

'Still, the casualties are extremely low compared to disasters.'

He breathed a sigh of relief when he confirmed that the evacuation to the last farmhouse was complete.

The demon species appeared in a hunting ground on the outskirts of the territory. Except for some farmland, it was a sparsely populated area with mostly forests.

Except for one woodcutter whose life or death was unknown after being swept away by the collapsing mountain, the damage to Yeongjimin that has been identified so far has been almost non-existent.

The only variable was that there was a hunting camp for imperial officials nearby.

However, considering that the camp was swept away by a landslide, their evacuation was also timely. Perhaps it was because they had prepared in advance to withdraw to move their hunting grounds.

Where is that?

Thanks to the fact that the prince's maid rushed to the scene of the accident, filling the carriage with the remaining residents, there were virtually no casualties. Considering the scale of the disaster that had struck, it was almost a miracle.

'I was just getting ready to withdraw, and there was an empty carriage at the camp... ... .'

At that moment, the image of Prince Mores, who was insisting on taking the carriage up to the mountain retreat, flashed in Sir Kurt's mind.

'no way?'

Did you anticipate that things would turn out like this?

No, but could it be? How on earth does he know about the demon species that showed up without warning?

'hmm? Now that I think about it, the reason I wanted to move my hunting ground in the first place... ... .'

If you think about it, wasn't it because of Prince Mores, who unleashed his resident knights to disrupt the hunting party and wipe out all the game?

... No, wait a minute. Really?

Is this really... ... ?

"Lord Kurt!"

What cut off Kurt's thoughts was the voice of Sir Claudia urgently calling him.

"hurry up, please! "We delayed the rescue too long!"

"... Sir Claudia."

"We have to find him quickly!"

You mean 'we'? Kurt was dumbfounded by that blind attitude.

In his view, Sir Claudia's loyalty seemed increasingly strange. It's been a while since he woke up and he started following the 3rd prince as if he was possessed by something, but now he gets anxious whenever he leaves even for a moment, just like a dog that lost its owner!

"By now, your Majesty may be rushing to fight the demon species alone again!"

No way, no matter how reckless the prince is, there is no way he would do something like that.
