There was a tradition in Ra-Iya where the king should hold a hunting competition for the noblemen and the ministers of the country within the first week of the king's marriage to his Queen.
All twelve provinces of Ra-Iya, the Capital, and the Six ministries were represented. A minimum of three persons should participate. Lireya was a guest participant and was represented by Prince Sapiro, Princess Amaya, and Marx. Only bows and arrows, spears, knives, and conventional weapons were allowed.
King Ralden stared at Marx who was assisting Amaya. His dark orbs were filled with hatred. The King was seeing his side profile and he remembered that it was his face that blocked Amaya's blushing face on the screen earlier.
