Ch. 190: Monsters Hunt [1]

Footsteps echoed through the arched corridors as Adrian, Nathaniel, and Fredinand made their way to the courtyard, each clad in lightweight armor. 

However, Fredinand stood out with a black mask adorning his face. Today, he assumed the role of Adrian's Escort Knight rather than his usual position as head butler. 

When a distant buzzing pierced their ears, they glanced downward, and the lively scene of the courtyard unfolded before them. 

Donning suits of gleaming armor, the knights moved with purpose while Squires hurried to and fro, carrying polished swords and shields. Blacksmiths toiled at their forges, tending to each piece of equipment to guarantee it was fit for battle. 

Nearby, horses stood patiently while their riders groomed and saddled them, ensuring every strap and buckle was secure for the upcoming monster hunt. Amidst the orchestrated chaos, Mathias barked orders, his commands slicing through the serene morning air as he organized the troops.
