Turning her gaze towards the hill, her gaze was so sharp, her hands clenched into fists. It was very clear that this incident was not an accident, but was done very deliberately.
Not without reason, because there were no wolves left in the vicinity within a few meters radius, How could the arrow hit Rania if it wasn't done on purpose?
'Vile and cruel,' her mind rebelled.
Ara did not remain silent, the girl then resumed her steps. Instead of running for cover, she picked up the arrows scattered around her. Then walked to the oak tree that had begun to dry.
Occasionally she turns and hides among the bushes to take cover from the wolves who are still running around looking for prey. Her chest felt heavy, her breath caught, after trying to regulate her breathing again, she resumed her steps.
While on stage, Zhang Jiangwu the crown prince had been silent since earlier. His eyes never left Ara's figure, watching her every move without missing a beat.
"Hey what are you doing?" rebuked Xue Yen when he saw Feng Ming shoot a slave.
"I'm just helping to lighten the slave's burden," Feng Ming replied again pulling the arrow from his back.
"You killed her."
"Does anyone have any objections? It's not mentioned in the rules," Feng Ming replied relentlessly.
"Is that right, Your Majesty?" he added as he turned to the left where the crown prince was.
the people spoke to do not respond. The man just stood there ignoring anyone.
"Your Majesty?" called Feng Ming once again.
"Oh yes? What is it?" Zhang Jiangwu's response finally spoke.
"It seems you are not feeling well, you should just rest Your Majesty, let us continue this event," said Bai Jun also chiming in, the man then walked to the side of the crown prince intending to help him sit back down to the chair that had been prepared for him.
"Okay, then you guys just carry on. I'll just have a look," Zhang Jiangwu replied.
Hearing this, Bai Jun immediately ordered a few guards to move the crown prince's seat to where the man was.
While the others continued to shoot their arrows, especially Xue Yen. The man seemed enthusiastic and so excited.
"Hey, where's that girl?" Yue Ahn asked suddenly when she couldn't find Ara anywhere.
"You've been talking nonsense since earlier," Feng Ming retorted glaring at a man who was more suited to be called a beauty.
"I'm just a little curious, how could she kill a wolf at such close range? Does she not have the slightest fear?"
"Do you have an interest in a slave?"
"Haha no. How is that possible," Yue Ahn replied with a laugh that sounded so soft.
"Aaaah, no. Who killed my quarry?" Suddenly Xue Yen's scream was heard. The man looked frustrated when he saw his target die in someone else's hands.
Everyone just glanced at him and then resumed what they were doing. No one responded, not even a single person.
Only, when Xue Yen was about to shoot his arrow again, his hand movement stopped when he felt the people nearby stop shooting their arrows.
"What is it? why all of you? Why does it look like that?" Xue Yen asked again looking left and right and found his friends standing still.
"Have you guys given up? Alright thanks for letting me be the victor," he added again then focused back on the bow and arrow in his hand.
However, the same thing happened to him.
Xue Yen froze on the spot with unblinking eyes, his eyes glaring at the arrows that came from the other direction, and managed to knock down several wolves very quickly.
"Who's that?" he mumbled.
"This is cheating, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, how could someone come down from the hill and shoot the wolves from behind the oak tree down there?" Xue Yen complained looking disapproved, the man ran towards the crown prince while pointing downwards.
While the others were also thinking the same thing, they all couldn't see clearly who the figure behind the oak tree was.
Hearing that, Zhang Jiangwu's brow furrowed faintly.
Turned his gaze across the hunting grounds, in just a few minutes, and all the wolves that were previously still running around down there were now killed and nothing left.
"Your Majesty, this is unfair," Xue Yen said again.
Some of them turned their heads towards the crown prince as if waiting for his response, while the rest were still rooted to the spot with their eyes never taking their eyes off the scene below, including Yua Ahn.
"Your majesty…"
"Guards," the crown prince called, cutting Xue Yen off.
."Gather the living slaves, and bring the man behind the oak in here, now," he ordered.
"Okay, Your Majesty," replied the guard then said goodbye and joined the other guards.
After the guard left, no one dared to make a sound including Xue Yen. Everyone was silent and waiting to see what the only son of the king of the Qin kingdom would do.
Although Zhang Jiangwu tended to show good manners to the people around him, it was all because they understood what the crown prince liked and disliked.
This case was no exception, now everyone knew that the Crown Prince was holding back his anger.
Zhang Jiangwu never tolerated anyone who dared to interfere with his fun.
Before, when the show hadn't started yet, the feeling was a bit bad, plus what was happening now. That only made his mood worse.
'Who is the man who dares to spoil my fun? Is he tired of living already?' Zhang Jiangwu thought, although he had stopped at the event, it didn't mean he didn't enjoy it anymore. Seeing the frightened faces of the female slaves was a pleasure in itself.
To be honest, he was also a little curious about the slave girl he'd been keeping an eye on earlier. It was just that earlier when his focus was slightly diverted by Bai Jun, he could no longer find the woman's whereabouts.
'Maybe she's dead,' he thought.
