In the afternoon, Rody left the Duke's residence He bade farewell to Miss Nicole and returned to the barracks

The azes of the soldiers They looked at hiher ranked officers had already coorously patted his shoulder When they finally pulled hi tent everybody cheered

Rody smiled wryly The soldiers cheered as if they had won a battle In the end, one officer shouted out indicating that he was proud of his co the h as forbidden in the military, everybody had demanded it Rody then took the soldiers out to the pub to have a drink At the pub, the emotional officers broke many wine cups and drank an as they returned to the barracks

The subsequent matters were relatively ether in public every day Together, they attended various activities and banquets held by the nobles in West Hill They were like lovers in front of everyone Since he had 'started' his relationshi+p with Nicole, he could not see Myka for a while Otherwise, if it was known that the lover of the Duke’s sister had another woradually spread, the relationshi+p between Viscount Rody and the Duke’s sister was already known by everyone Even people in the far away Imperial Capital had also received the news

Some people could not help but suddenly realized that His Majesty's earlier e proposal to Miss Nicole was rejected presumably because she already had a lover However, Rody’s identity was a little strange, as if Rody had suddenly appeared out of thin air Perhaps, he was really just an ordinary low-ranked officer

After the Military Minister, Marquis Garoline, received that news he fell into deep thought Rody and Nicole?

The old Marquis sighed It seemed like His Majesty the Emperor really wanted to win over the Tulip Family After the war, the Tulip Fa and peerless The Empire's first fa loyalty of the E God’s Whip The Duke of the Tulip Family had also been appointed as the Marshal of the Eitimate child His relationshi+p with Miss Nicole … isn't it obvious? It must have been inspired by His Majesty!

However, this is strange Initially, the father's e proposal was rejected But, he then allowed his son to pursue…

Marquis Garoline did not care about how strange it was Matters involving power struggles were naturally strange and complicated

It is impossible to win over the Tulip Family Looks like the only way to revitalize the Lionheart Fah Rody

Perhaps Perhaps, His Majesty has the intention of itimate child the Crown Prince?

Marquis Garoline then shook his head as the various cohts crossed his mind No matter what, he would need to create a connection and win over Rody

Fifteen days after the Duke of the Tulip Fauests arrived at the barracks in the West Hill City

Except for the ed man, ore an ordinary noble’s clothes, the rest of those people were neatly dressed in the warrior’s unifored man introduced himself as Baron Gadar, from the Imperial Capital He requested to see His Excellency Viscount Rody and he also claiood friend in the Iave a strange sested that he could look for Rody at the outskirts, north of the city Early thatsome men to escort Miss Nicole The nobles of West Hill were having a hunting party at the hunting grounds on the outskirts of West Hill

The hunting grounds in the north of West Hill was the property of the Tulip Family It was a Black Forest The outer perimeter of the forest was surrounded by a simple and crude wooden fence Norrounds A group of soldiers would also take turns to guard the place

The hunting grounds were speciallywas an activity only a the nobles and was very popular in the Empire The Empire's militaristic nature and the law of the nobles' inheritance had encouraged the ood for and horsemanshi+p skills

It was the end of autunificent carriages were parked outside of the hunting grounds It was ales lazily rest on the cushi+ons

The road leading to the hunting grounds were guarded by a group of ar God’s Whip There were also about a dozen Irounds

Baron Gadar and his subordinates were obstructed by a few layers of security Finally, after he produced so to prove his identity, the soldiers allowed him in However, his subordinates had to stay outside In accordance with the rules at the hunting grounds, each noble was only allowed to bring in up to two bodyguards

That was an old tradition a expeditions help to develop their horseback archery There would be no point in bringing a large group of people If they did, then it would not be called a hunt There would be no difference cost the nobles because it was exciting and risky If they brought a large group of people to protect the to it

Baron Gadar took two of his subordinates along They then took three bows and several arrow pouches before they rode their horses into the hunting grounds The hunting grounds of the Tulip Family covered an area of at least ten square kilorounds and a small lake at the center of the forest

As autumn was ale for food for the winter That was the best ti Baron Gadar was a cavalryman froo was that Miss Nicole and a group of nobles were at the center of the forest near the lake The nobles would signal the guards outside once every two hours They co special fireworks The fireould be tied to an arrow and then it would be shot towards the sky The exploding fireworks in the sky would show their location

After all, hunting was a dangerous activity Although there were people guarding the hunting grounds, for an area of about ten square kilometers, it was inevitable that occasionally there would be soalloped on the road in the forest for a while until they finally came close to the lake at the center

From afar, a sharp whistle could be heard fro hunting to drive out the prey Using that htened prey would be driven to a pre-set ambush After that, the prey would be surrounded and shot That was the er prey

In the dense forest, there was a short stretch sloping upwards About a dozen horseether up there Gadar and the others immediately went up the slope Before they could approach, two cavalrymen rode forward and blocked their way

Gadar looked at the two cavalry his way and became alerted The two cavalry God's Whip As the Lightning God's Whip was responsible for guarding Miss Nicole, it meant that Rody was in front

The two cavalry God's Whip were obviously elites Although they were just sitting on their horses, Gadar could feel a murderous aura That kind of aura could only coht in life and death battles

The I God’s Whip cavalrye The two cavalryilantly before they opened the way and let Gadar through However, Gadar noticed that their hands were constantly on the hilts of their swords Gadar was certain that if anything went a little bit wrong, the world renowned Lightning God's Whip would i God’s Whip had h but they still followed him closely Gadar was calry One of theant What is so great about the Lightning God’s Whip?”

Gadar immediately turned around and fiercely stared at his subordinate He also could not help but glance at the two cavalry them The two cavalryn of being irritated Their facial expressions were still cold and filled with pride and confidence However, they just looked over in disdain

Gadar could feel that their self-confidence and pride was no pretense It was the pride and dignity that cah experiences He could also feel the way they looked at his subordinates It was a disdainful gaze like a valiant atching a dog baring its fangs and brandishi+ng its claws

Suddenly there was a loud bang and a few people cheered, ”Your Excellency Rody, Good shot!”
