39 Fury and Fire

"Glory to the people! Emperor Nicholaus Goosebourne announced the upcoming changes to the hunting event. From here onwards, all men must have a female partner while hunting. The partners will be chosen by the Emperor himself. Kiss the ground," the man ordered.

Almost immediately, everyone listening except for Martin Lux who had just arrived, lowered their heads to the ground.

"The Emperor of the most prosperous Empire, the descendant of the slayer of the sea beast Utimbre, the head, and sun of the Goosebourne family, is inviting the young lady of the Lux Family, Rosalind Lux to become the partner of the eldest Prince, Prince Lawrence Goosebourne. Accept the order!"

Rosalind slowly got up and accepted the scroll.

"The order has been received and acknowledged! Two days from now before the sun rises in the East, the hunt will start!"

Then the man bowed towards Martin Lux before departing along with the knights that came with him.
