Chapter 27: Queen of Hunting Competition

MARIING nakatitig si Selene sa nakahandusay na dragon. Ni sa panaginip ay hindi niya inaasahan na makakakita siya ng ganoong klase ng nilalang sa personal.

“This is really strange. Those monsters that live deep in the forests will not wreak havoc at the viewing stands. Most especially a dragon who has been sleeping and living on the top of a mountain.”

Napatangu-tango si Selene nang dahil sa sinabi ni Apollo. “That’s what I’m thinking too. Unless there’s someone responsible behind those monsters strange acts.”

“It’s as if someone is controlling them, right?”

Sabay silang napalingon sa nagsalita. Agad naman silang yumuko pagkakita rito.

“We greet His Highness, the crown prince.” Selene curtsied.

“What do you think about what happened, Your Highness?” tanong ni Apollo rito.

“I have already noticed that something is off when fighting the monsters on the way while hunting. I just didn’t think that things would turn out like this here.” He looked around before he returned his attention to them. “I already called the head of palace wizards to check on the monsters to confirm if my hunch is correct.”

Apollo smirked. “It seems that we both have the same thing in mind.”

Bago pa siya makapagtanong ay mayroong lumapit sa kanila na medyo may edad ng lalaki. He’s holding a staff. He must be the head of the palace wizards.

After he checked on the monsters, the head wizard faced the crown prince with confusion written on his face. “Your Highness, this might sound absurd, but all of these monsters have been under the influence of dark magic.”

Bumakas ang gulat sa mukha ng mga nandoon. Puwera na lang kina Apollo at Cadmus. It seems that they both really have the same hunch.

“So it’s really because of dark magic. But who would dare use such forbidden magic in this era?” The prince’s expression turned serious.

“Something is definitely wrong here, Your Highness. Since all of the wizards who knew how to cast a dark magic have already been executed. And the books containing information about it have already been burned,” the head wizard explained.

“I believe this is something that we need to unravel as soon as possible, Your Highness,” Apollo chimed in.

“Right. I’ll discuss this matter with my people and have it investigated as well. Rest assured that whoever it is behind all this chaos will pay a great price.” Cadmus then patted Apollo’s shoulder. “Anyway, you did a good job killing that dragon. As expected of the war hero and sword of the empire.”

“I just did what I needed to do, Your Highness.” Apollo smiled.

Napangiwi naman si Selene. Halata kasi na plastic lang ang ngiti nito.

Biglang bumaling sa direksyon niya si Cadmus. “I’m relieved that you’re not hurt, My Lady.”

“It’s all thanks to the duke, Your Highness.”

Tila ba may gusto pa itong sabihin ngunit napatango na lang ito bago tuluyang nagpalaam.

“Selene, you must return to your cottage as well and get some rest.” Agad na tinawag ni Apollo si Finn para samahan siya pabalik.

“How about you?”

“I just need to deal with some matters first. I’ll take Levi with me.” Sa isang iglap ay nasa likod na nito si Levi na nakabalik din agad matapos ang nangyaring insidente.
