It's been a few days since Maxie stunned with such news. Visiting the imperial hunt was clearly not part of my plans. Moreover, it was during this period that she was going to catch an opportunity for escape.
However, all this is no longer important.
Maxie has never considered my opinion and just confronted the fact that this weekend we are going to the Dense Forest. At least Razor let take it with .
That was the na of the place where hunting was held from ti to ti among mbers of high society. Such an event was considered a rarity, and mostly took place during so significant events for the country.
Sothing like a traditional entertainnt.
For example, the king could organize a hunt in honor of his birthday, a state holiday, or a military victory. But in recent years there have been few reasons for joy, so the last ti it was arranged already ten years ago.
In the old days, participation in the imperial hunt was considered a great honor, and no one could miss such an event. Now, people ca only because they could not refuse. Especially, realizing what the was planned for.
The Marquess of Windsor was the sa. For a successful coup, he should not arouse suspicion ahead of ti, and continue to build the illusion of loyalty to the ruler. For this, he had to postpone all previous plans, and prepare for the hunt.
Its duration was one day, but it is during this period that it is necessary to give everything in full. Previously, the winner who caught the largest amount of ga could make any wish to the king as a prize. However, in fact, few people really strained for this. It was difficult to get the first place, so basically everything remained simple within the frawork of entertainnt.
This ti, not only the Marquis himself, but also Maxi was going to beco a participant in the imperial hunt. For the future heiress of the house of Windsor, it was an important appearance, and she was preparing for it responsibly. The man had to personally accompany her as a guardian, and introduce her to other aristocrats.
Maxie personally picked up a weapon for herself and was organizing a small crew that would go with us. It included the Marquis's n, guards, a couple of maids and his personal assistant. All these people had to ride behind the main carriage, and take care of the mbers of the noble family on the spot.
It would seem that it was not worth bothering so much for the sake of one day. But no. To show their status, the aristocrats boasted to each other as much as they could.
The Marquis of Windsor agreed to take and Razor with only one condition. Before setting off, he pointedly ran his thumb along his neck. As if hinting that if we dare to throw sothing out or say a word about our origin, we will beco dead.
We humbly swore that this would not happen.
On the day of departure, the Marquise personally ca to see us off. She wished her daughter good luck and kissed her husband goodbye. She gave a slight nod. I did the sa in response, although I still noticed concern on her face.
Rodrigue Windsor got into the main carriage, while the servants had already climbed into the carriages. Razor was among them. Everything was almost ready, and I was also going to take my place in the servants' carriage.
But at that mont, Maxie suddenly stopped .
-- Beauty, you're coming with .
I was surprised by such an unexpected statent.
-- What?
I soon realized what she ant. Unlike her father, the girl intended to ride straight on horseback. And, moreover, to take too.
The idea of riding a horse for several hours in a row was not very pleasing. I'd rather have a more comfortable ride in the form of a cart. But is it possible to argue with her?
-- You know, I don't think that's a good idea...
Maxie asked ironically.
