"Yes. There's a friendly hunting competition coming up soon. It's a small-scale event only attended by royalty and the diplomatic mission—it seems they plan to release them there."
"Ha, how bold. Angelique still thinks this is the heart of the Empire."
Iason shook his head back and forth but smiled nonetheless.
"This works out well. I'll have my chance to shine."
It wasn't difficult for Iason to deduce who the wolves summoned by the Fourth Imperial Princess were targeting.
"Medeia."
The beautiful and noble princess of Valdina.
"How pitiful for the princess. To think she'd make an enemy of Angelique of all people."
The advisor looked momentarily startled.
"Your Highness, won't you stop it?"
Naturally, he'd assumed Iason would prevent the impending danger to win the princess's favor.
Iason slightly shook his head. His eyes held an arrogant gaze that looked down on the advisor.
"Why would I? A woman of her strong character wouldn't easily come to me unless it's something like this. It'd be difficult without her being chased by a pack of wolves."
An image unfolded in his mind.
A dense forest, the princess left alone and pursued by beasts, a life-or-death moment of crisis, a man stepping forward to block her path and slay the wolves.
Those emerald eyes looking up at him like a hero. Himself embracing her frightened form, gently patting her slender back to reassure her...
Somehow, just the imagination alone was deeply satisfying.
Iason ordered his subordinate to sharpen his sword until it gleamed.
Even if the first button was fastened wrong, he had no doubt he could perfectly weave the next buttons so they wouldn't come loose from his body.
