The Day of the Monster Hunt

Early morning.

A flag engraved with the crest of the roaring black lion flutters in the dim morning sky.

The wind blowing from the early morning is calm as if helping the knights on their way to hunt monsters.

“Yaawn…”

In the midst of it all, alone, Leonia’s head bobs as she struggles with drowsiness.

“Why don’t you both just go to sleep?”

With armour on, Pelliot embraces Leonia.

Leonia’s body trembled at the material of the cold armor, and made a strange noise.

"Sooooo cold!"

The knights behind secretly smirked.

“Duke’s leaving…”

Adlyn tries to rub the corner of his eyes with the back of his hand, as if chasing his sleepiness.

Phileo's hand in a leather glove halts in the air.

He pats her back so she could sleep more instead. Leonia whines as she didn’t want him to do that.

“Put me down.”

Adlyn gestures towards the maid behind him.

“We’ll give you this.”

Adlyn holds out a basket of gingerbread cookies and cupcakes, wrapped in small batches with Leonia beside him.

Seeing the cookies and cupcakes, Phileo’s eyes grow bigger.

Some of the packets were particularly thick, and there is a childish lion drawn in black.
