I see now. Knowing that a new enemy has arrived at the borders, she finally has the opportunity to eliminate me for a more than sensible reason. At least, even if she can't kill me while I'm travelling. She'll be able to send me to die in battle. I couldn't help but laugh at the reasoning behind it. “How both convenient and iconic.”
I smirked for a mere moment before replying to that statement of hers, “A Prince cannot be sent to the battlefield without his loyal retainers proficient in battle though.”
Madale had caught onto my intent, and before she could speak, someone else interrupted. “Your Highness, Where were these retainers of yours when you clashed with that beast during the hunt?” Elder Quantiom disproved.
“They simply followed my orders. None of their attacks worked against a beast of such caliber.”
“That was the second time of you being unconscious my Prince!”
