The hunt began

Anne was dressed in a white shirt with black trousers. There were two belts tied on her chest for better posture and grip and one belt was tied on her left leg in which one dagger was kept.

When Anne arrived there, she realised that she was the only lady who was taking part in that hunt. All the other ladies were dressed up in gorgeous gown and sipping tea from their cup. As they saw her unconventional look , they started gossiping among themselves. " See that lady. How unladylike! " .But that did not last for a long time because Caroline was also present there. Her glare made them silent. She stepped towards her and greeted her.

" Is your health ok now. Are you sure you can handle this hunt? ". She was genuinely concerned for Anne.

With a smile she replied, " You do not need to worry. I am fine." The incident of that curse made them a bit closer to each other. How can she not care about someone who nursed her without even sleeping when she was still unconscious.

When those two were talking, Sebastian noticed her. He did not even care to hide as he was sure that they would not be able to sue him.

He came to her . " Hello Anne. How are you... "

" How cheap! Even after doing those things you came to see me? Don't you have any self respect? ", said Anne.

" What are you saying? You love me right? " He started having cold sweat.

" Oh come on. She do not want to see a filthy rat like you. Just piss off. ", said Caroline. She leaned towards his ears and whispered, " Sooner or later you would be disposed. Do not forget with whom you are playing. " With a smirk she took Anne with her away from him. '

' How? No.. This can not be.. She is supposed to fall in love with me once again. I am sure she was put into that curse.. Then why? ' He was bewildered. That day when he met Ash ( The man whom he met in chapter twelve), he understood that he was no other ordinary man. His mana level was like god level, something that can choke someone with just it's presence. He offered him to help him.

" I can make her fall in the dream of the night bloom. It is no ordinary curse. If a person falls into this curse, his/her deepest memories will be replayed before her eyes. This can make her fall in love with you once again. "

Sebastian was desperate that time. When Anne declared her love towards Caesar, there was nothing he could do. How can he compete against a royal? This was the last flickering hope to him.

" If you help me, what benefit would you get? What do you want from me? "

" Hmmm. Let's see. " He pointed his finger towards his heart and said, " I want your soul. " His eyes started gleam in red colour. It was like the eyes of Shinigami.

" What? " He became pale.

" Oh do not be afraid. I would not take your life. I just want to make a bondage contract with your soul. It would not affect you at all. I will just take over your body sometimes when I want to. In return you will get my power. " He moved his fingers and a paper appeared in the air. " So, what is your answer young man ? "

" I agree. " It was like as if he was hypnotised the word 'power' uttered by him.

They signed the paper with their blood thus entangling in bondage with each other. Never he knew, what Ash's real intention was.

Now let's come to the hunting competition.

Everyone was preparing for the hunt. Caesar was dressed up in beautiful white dress, he wanted to hunt the most and biggest animal and gift it to his lady love, Anne. But he did not know that she would take part in it too.

" Lady Anne , so you will take part in it too? " , he said staring at her horse.

" What does it look to you? I am wearing this outfit, ofcourse I am going to participate. " She glanced at her daddy who was also participating in the hunt. Their eyes met.

The duke was giving a narrow furious look as he saw Caesar talking with her. ' This basta#d ! How did he even sedu#e my lovely innocent daughter? Tch. '

" Suddenly I am feeling a bit cold. " said the man who was on the horse beside the Duke.

" You do not need to worry much as I will be dedicating my hunt to you, making you the Queen of the hunt. ", said Caesar.

" Oh you do not have to care about that because this year I am going to make you the Queen. " She gave a smile with eyes full of anger while Caesar was shining brightly like a Sun with his smile.

' They seemed to be having a cold war. '

"Lady Angela are you Ok? " ,said Austin who was receiving a hand stitched handkerchief from her.

" Yes, yes of course. "
