Chapter 278: A memory

Meanwhile...

Aries had no plans for the hunting season aside from winning the competition. She knew Joaquin would use such an occasion since he was the type of person who would never let an opportunity slide. So when she heard commotions somewhere on the hunting grounds, she set off to hunt, knowing everyone would be busy doing their own schemes.

"Would Joaquin cheat this competition too?" she mumbled as she slowed down, pulling the reins and looking around the woods surrounding her. "I didn't even see any bunny."

Her frown grew deeper as there was a high possibility Joaquin placed all the released wild in a specific area where he would hunt. Knowing how rotten the crown prince was, it was something he would definitely do. 

As Aries thought more about which area to hunt, a memory she had been squashing down the closer the hunting season approached suddenly resurfaced in her head.
