"Your Majesty, are you alright?"
Silvia finally broke her silence while staring worriedly at Florence. The hunt has already begun, but the two of them were simply riding their steed leisurely in the forest lane.
"Yes." Florence glanced back at her and smiled. "It's just... I hadn't seen His Majesty and His Highness. I wanted to talk to my brother about something."
"He said he will follow us. I'm certain Prince Heliot will find us, no matter how deep we are in the forest."
Florence pressed her lips into a thin line. "Is this your first time participating in the hunt?"
"Huh?" Silvia's brows furrowed. "No, Your Majesty. I usually come to the capital during this time of the year to join the hunting season."
"You're not the type who enjoys the banquet?"
This time, Silvia chuckled. "Before, yes. But after experiencing things... I appreciate these activities more than attending a banquet."
