Duke Hugh and Duke Arman exchanged glances and immediately shifted the reign of their horses to the opposite direction where they heard the commotion.
"What kind of trouble is it this time?" Duke Arman said in passing as if he's so used to this kind of unexpected situation.
He looked at the Notorious Duke, thinking that he might have the same thought as him; might have seen him express annoyance; however, Hugh had a different expression.
It was as if he regretted something. So, Duke Arman became curious as to why but decided to shut his mouth and focused on taking action first.

Hugh and the others were riding their horses as fast as possible when suddenly Hugh noticed that something shiny was directing at him.
Whoosh!
Hugh immediately released his sword from his scabbard and swung it directly to the flying arrow, reflecting the surprise attack.
Everyone was flustered at Hugh's quick response.
