97 The Hunt Part-1 (1/2)
Since the attack by the 'Stone Bear', a couple of days had passed since then the schedule of Ryuu consisted of playing with his new friends, training, eating and sleeping then repeating it again, but he was very happy because of his new friends, unfortunately it also caused him to slack of a lot regarding to training but he promised himself that when he goes back to Ayindril.
Today, as always he was busy playing with his friends hopscotch a game which he learned on the same day he became acquainted on his first day.
As Ryuu was going to take his turn he was stopped by the arrival of a new maid who simple bowed in front of him, as he waited for Ryuu to speak.
Ryuu just tilted his head slightly, as the maid just went by his side as she whispered into his ears while making sure to cover her hands as she spoke to prevent others from lip reading. Ryuu's eyes widened momentarily as his face broke into a wide grin, as he suddenly gave a small jump and a clap as started laughing, ”Good good you really are nice scout Anne, you have brought me a very wonderful news now I would trouble you to inform Aika to make preparations I wish to leave as soon as possible preferably before the sun rises tomorrow.”
Anne just bowed and left, as he turned towards his new friends as he spoke in a somber tone, ”I am sorry to say this but I have to leave.”
His friends grew worried at that as such Xavier could not help but ask, ”Why Ryuu did something bad happen forcing you to leave?”
Ryuu shook his head as he replied with a smile, ”No no nothing is wrong just that there is something that needs my immediate attention as such I will have to leave for a few days but I promise you all that I will try to finish my job and be back as soon as possible.”
His words calmed his friends as he waved them goodbye and left along with his escorts, today he was in a very good mood as such he did not get annoyed by the hero worship by the villagers who he passed on his way to his house.
Aika was once again standing by the doorway in order to welcome him, ”Welcome back Your Highness.”
Ryuu: ”I am back and I hope you have already started making preparations, oh and please send the scout to the garden, I will be waiting for them there with some questions that I have regarding the prey for them.”
Aika bowed at him as he made his way towards the garden, as he sat on there on the grass enjoying the peace and tranquility that prevailed there, he did not have to wait long as soon the scout arrive, as she gave a short bow to Ryuu.
Ryuu spoke with his voice giddy excitement, ”Well what can you tell me about the prey?”
Anne began speaking everything about the prey she had just scouted on Ryuu's order.
The next day a group of 6 left the house along with a couple of escorts one of whom was Aika herself, as they made their way towards the mountain, normally Ryuu could have asked them to directly fly him to the prey but unfortunately his sisters have forbade the maids to use more than the strength of a low level Primal Daoist, and forbade them from using any from flying with Ryuu, of course in case of emergency like Ryuu's life being in danger all restrictions were off. Ryuu also knew he could do nothing to persuade them otherwise as his sisters' orders will always take precedence before his.
