"You don't seem scared."

"Scared?" she looked at the wolves again. She was scared, and yes, the current scene in front of her was enough to make her spine shiver, but- "Is there a reason for me to feel scared when I have the bravest warrior next to me?"

The Duke looked surprised, then he started chuckling. Soon his shoulders shook and his eyes turned into crescents as he laughed.

"It seems that you have realized something. Why don't you tell me what it was?" he asked.

"The wolves… were provoked," Rosalind quickly said. Since there were people around them, she only gave him a vague answer.

The Duke was smart enough to realize the meaning behind her words. She knew this was related to what happened earlier.

The Duke said they were going hunting, yet they did not do anything to those bandits. Instead, they watch as wolves devour them before they left. That was not hunting.

This however, was the real hunting.
