Chapter 729 - Deer Hunting (2) (1/2)

London and Rune, who were accustomed to using automatic pistols, chose the simplest weapons to have more freedom in their movement. They each chose to ride a brown and gray stallion.

They also learned to ride and shoot together with Aleksis since childhood, taught by Lauriel. Rune very rarely used weapons, but London was still diligently practicing his shots once a month in the shooting range so as not to lose his skills.

Terry, who was never interested in weapons, only watched in awe at his two younger siblings who looked very manly on their horses. He clapped happily and encouraged them to kill at least one deer each.

Kai, Takeshi, and Rosalien already had their favorite horses in the stable because they often came to Targu Mures. All three looked very attractive with a casual appearance, wearing leather jackets and riding shoes.

Rosalien's weapon of choice was a small handgun that she slipped inside her boot and a long ceramic knife she put in the saddle of her horse. The girl looked very good at controlling her horse. Her aloof face seemed to smile thinly as she greeted her horse with a gentle whisper before climbing onto it.

Kai and Takeshi's weapon of choice was each a rifle that was harder to use but could shoot targets in the longer range.

”Where is Mischa?” Alaric asked as he helped Aleksis climb their horse's saddle. He would share the horse with Aleksis, so he chose the biggest and strongest horse in the stable.

Hearing Alaric's question, Jadeith who was saddling his horse raised his face and looked back, then pointed at Mischa who was walking toward them with an anxious face. ”He was on the phone earlier. Maybe it's important.”

Mischa walked hurriedly toward them, his handsome face this time was filled with anxiety.

”I'm sorry. I had to go home to Bucharest. My girlfriend was admitted to the hospital ...” he said in a sorry voice. ”Just now, her mother called me. Lisa was short of breath and was immediately taken to the ICU. The doctors didn't know what happened to her.”

Everyone was surprised and worried. This was certainly a misfortune that no one expected. Alaric nodded and immediately told Mischa to leave.

”Go. Be with your girl and make sure she gets the best medical treatment.”

”Thank you, Sir.”

Mischa excused himself in a hurry and immediately left the castle for the airport.

After Mischa left and they finished preparing for hunting, the hunters were immediately divided into 2 groups. They would work together to separate their targeted herds from the larger group, and later they could kill them.

”We will meet in an hour, and the group that gets the most game will be the winner,” Alaric said, signaling that his group should move westward.

”Hey ... I didn't know this hunt was a competition,” London said in amazement as he stomped his horse's reins toward the east. Aleksis just laughed at that. She knew Alaric was just joking. For some reason, lately, Alaric had become warmer and even started to make jokes.

She liked her husband, who was quiet and always looked cold on the surface. But now, seeing another side of Alaric's personality that she had never seen before, Aleksis felt she also liked this version of Alaric.

The man was very similar to his father. Lauriel, who was cold and reclusive, also began to change to become a warmer and softer person several years ago because Altair and Vega came into his life.

The two kids were the reason Lauriel started getting used to smiling. Maybe that's what Alaric experienced, thought Aleksis with a happy heart.
