After helping the old woman behind her to stand back up, including Rania, Ara is now back in her original position. Trying to catch her breath and trying to stay calm.
It wasn't that she wasn't aware of the changing atmosphere around her, it was just that there was nothing useful he could do at this point other than trying to remain calm.
Looking left and right, all the women looked up and saw a majestic figure who was now starting to climb the hill along with several guards, walked to the center of the stage, and sat on his majestic throne.
The position of the stage with its back to the sun made it a little difficult for anyone to see what the crown prince looked like. However, that didn't stop some of them from observing the men even though the sunlight was quite blinding.
But that position didn't last long when another soldier swung his whip at the ground with a vengeance, making everyone gasp in surprise.
"Keep your eyes filthy woman, pay respects to His Highness the Crown Prince!" snapped the man disapprovingly, and at the same time, all the slaves lowered their heads and saluted, including Ara.
They were in that position for several minutes, not once were they allowed to move and make a sound let alone raise their heads and look up at the hills.
While on the other hand, the nobles who had paid their respects to the crown prince now returned to their original positions, several others walked over and stood right and left of the man "Greetings from me, Your Majesty," said a noble gave respect.
"Tsk, don't overreact Feng Ming, I know you're making fun of me right now," replied Prince Zhang Jiangwu, the Crown Prince.
"Hehehe, how was your trip earlier? I thought you wouldn't escape the Queen Mother," Feng Ming replied.
Feng Ming is the only son of the Feng family, his father is a royal official and uncle of Prince Zhang Jiangwu. That man has a habit of teasing the Crown Prince, doesn't he only him, but several others also often do the same thing.
Not because no have any feelings of fear at all, it's just that since they were all small, the men who were on stage currently already have a close relationship with Prince Zhang Jiangwu even when that man was appointed as the Crown Prince.
Like this time, eight men of good looks who filled the stage on the hill came along joined Feng Ming, acting as if there was no distance between them, and the salute they performed a few minutes ago was merely a formality.
Far from the center of the kingdom as it is now, all of them are no exception to the crown prince like a group of youths thirsting for pleasure. If people from other kingdoms see the way they interact, maybe they wouldn't believe it if someone said that son the crown was among the men.
"So what are the rules now?" asked a man with a green robe, he is Bai Jun. The only son of the Bai family, his father was also one of the core officials of the kingdom.
"No, I'm more interested in the prize," said the blue-robed man, it was Xue Yen, son the second of Xue's family, a family that wielded great influence over the kingdom. His father was a big and wealthy merchant.
"Hmm, can you shut up? Let His Majesty say the rules first," said the robed man pink while stroking and stroking the ends of his hair which she slung forward, his soft and gentle voice makes anyone who hears it immediately turn to him.
He is Yue Ahn, his face is so tempting if you look at the man it is more suitable if said to be beautiful than handsome. An only son of the Yue family, his father is a painter and a famous poet throughout the Qin empire, no, rather he was famous almost all over the kingdom.
"Can Wang Xiumin, son of the Wang family, his father is a judge kingdom.
"Like you didn't know it, did you forget? I even got the title of the most beautiful man in the entire Qin kingdom," Yua Ahn replied while squinting his eyes and making his interlocutor look at him in horror.
"Do it one more time and your head will separate from your body," Wang Xiumin snarled.
"Hmm, are you guys going to keep arguing like this? Aren't you bored? Look down there, the wolves have been starving since earlier," said the man in the black robe, he was Hao Chu, he is the only son of the Hao family, his father is a royal adviser.
While on the other hand, Prince Zhang Jiangwu just stayed where he was, feeling completely undisturbed with the chatter of the man who was with him, his eyes had been fixed on the expanse of the vast hunting ground below, occasionally a harsh sigh could be heard escaping from between
his lips.
"Looks like this time it will be the same, both boring," he muttered again with a rough sigh.
According to his observations, the party this time will be the same as the previous hunting party or even this time was the most boring, the average slave who took his view was very old age whose life might end soon when the big cages opened wide, while the rest are only small children and adult women, and even then very few.
"So what are the rules this time?" asked Bai Jun and managed to break Prince's silence, Zhang Jiangwu
"Do, as usual, here we just want to have fun," replied Prince Zhang Jiangwu.
The hunting party started from the moment the large cages were opened, giving the wolves access to roam the entire hunting ground, making the slaves their meal. If they don't have the strength to run and fight then they will only be one ending, death. And the duty of the nobles standing on the hill was to target the hungry wolf as their main target, the one who got the most hunt or in other words, the one who kills the most wolves is the winner.
If a slave is killed by an arrow of one of them, then that doesn't count in the count.
Cruel? Even in the event, it was explained that the value of a wolf is more valuable than a woman. But this is how it is, the things like this are considered normal in the Qin kingdom.
Hearing the crown prince's words, the nine men nodded in unison.
"Then the prize?" asked Xue Yen.
"Is there only gifts in your head, gifts, and gifts?" sarcasm Hao Chu?
"Of course," Xue Yen replied casually.
"100 gold coins, 10 most beautiful female slaves in the Qin kingdom," said the Crown Prince mentioning the prize.
"Ah, very tempting," replied Xue Yen.
