Chapter 76.

To block the sharp arrows, the magic tool was too thin. But probably because of the defense magic activated, it lost its original golden color and turned black. I looked at it with a subtle expression and asked.

“Did you not throw this …… away?”

I took it for granted that I would throw it away. Thought it was taken away by force to torture me. Unexpectedly, the Crown Prince looked at my expression and raised an eyebrow.

“Why would you throw it away? That’s an amulet given by someone who once had a crush.”

“What horrible words ……”

That instant. Brush-pull, brush-pull-

Arrows from nowhere came flying from the rain and stuck in the trees above their heads.

“Uhh!”

I let out a short scream in fear. At the same time, the Crown Prince stood up from his seat.

“It looks like the assassin of the Crown Prince has come again. Get up quickly, male daughter, and take shelter.”

“…… What?”

He grabbed my shoulders roughly and stood up in confusion.

“Why me?”

“So you want to stay here and wait to be hit by arrows and killed?”

“If it’s someone who came at His Highness, it’s aiming at His Highness. So as long as His Highness goes somewhere else ……”

I wanted to say “Let go of me, just go by yourself” but it didn’t work. Because the crown prince wrapped me in his cloak. The weight of two people that could fall off a horse exerted an incredible force.

The guy put me on the saddle as if I were luggage. With a thud, the bear’s head that was blown off by the wind rolled on the floor, but no one cared.

“What, what are you doing?”

I trailed off about his ridiculous behavior.

“Cut the crap, male daughter. The only witness to the Crown Prince and his assassins, I will send you back.”

The Crown Prince muttered irritably and leapt onto his horse.

“Hiss-”

Then he locked me between his arms and pulled the horse’s reins tight.

“Eee-”

The ride took off.

Brush pull, brush pull – at the same time, two arrows flew from the side.

“Tsk.”

As if annoyed, the crown prince smacked his tongue, lowered his head, and avoided them. Then as if protecting me, he hugged me tighter. Probably because of the emergency situation, this time there was no aversion to him being close.

Damn …… “Is even assassination involved now?” The craziness of this game unfolding makes me want to cry.

The dark clouds should have stayed away from this guy without looking back. Because of the pounding horse and the pouring rain, I don’t even have the slightest bit of spirit left.

Through the crown prince’s back, I can vaguely see the people who are coming after me. Clatter, clatter- countless arrows and javelins flew from over there.

Puh-ching-! The Crown Prince drew his sword with amazing reaction speed and opened the flying arrows and javelins.

“Shit.”

Perhaps the continuous attacks made the escape less than desirable, the Crown Prince spat out expletives in a small voice.

“Dangerous, don’t move, male daughter.”

Pfft-! Callisto blocked another arrow and whispered.

I felt his body tense up from the tension. I was also tense as hell. The male lead could not die, but he could be injured to the point of dying.

Also, this wasn’t a quest. There was no reset, it wasn’t a game, it was reality for me. Slowly, fear overwhelmed me.

Brush Pull – A fierce chase took place on the narrow forest path. The distance narrows and the physical outlines of the pursuers can be recognized. A group of people wearing black masks and black equipment. Assassins no matter who looked at them.

Suddenly, he remembered a startling scene where the crown prince cut off the assassin’s head during the second prince’s birthday party.

”…… Does the Crown Prince often encounter such things? It wasn’t revealed at all in normal mode.”

At that instant, there was a sudden flash before his eyes.

[System] Main quest: become the queen of the Hunting Assembly, right?

[Do you want to seek again? (Target: 20 assassins. Reward: assassin’s token. Callisto’s favor +20%, fame +50)]

[AcceptedRefused]

White boxes suddenly appeared behind the crown prince.

“Ha. Ha……ha.”

I was too speechless to laugh in vain. Then the face contorted in an angry expression. I don’t want to be a queen or anything at all!

But ……20%?

Wanted to immediately streak [denied] countless times. But can’t. As a reward, 20% goodwill is given.

In normal mode, it could be raised by just doing a few random quests, but in hard mode, 10% was unthinkable.

[System] Main mission, automatically accepted in 5 seconds.

[System] 5′

[System]4”

I finally pressed accept with tears of desire. Then raised the stone bow and prepared to shoot.

“Don’t move.”

Probably because I was squirming in my arms, the Crown Prince reminded me in a raw manner.

“…… Your Highness.”

I called to him in a somber voice.

“I think I can help you.”

“…… What?”

“You only have the Stone Bow ……”

I lifted the hem of my cloak and turned it silently to my chest, revealing the stone bow in my hand.

“I will kill anyone who comes after me, so please cover for me.”

“Duchess, what is that ……”

Callisto asked in a low voice in order to hear me, but I didn’t have the time to listen.

The last five seconds of hesitation passed.

[System] Quest automatically accepted.

(020)

The Chinese characters in the box turned into numbers. At the same time, the body curled up in the Crown Prince’s arms leapt up.

Then, using his broad shoulders as elbow support, he turned the crank load with a mechanical maneuver. Sliding the trigger, he closed one eye and took aim at the assassin.

The rain and leaping horses that blocked my view were no problem for me, no, not for the system.

The moment an assassin looked at me leaping up and tried to aim at the bow, swish – the index finger on the trigger pressed down.

Swish-snap!

The aiming assassin disappeared from sight. Hit!

The bead shot hit. The fellow who had fallen from his horse spasmed badly from the shock. But there was no hint of appreciation of his joy.

Shoo-shoo-shoo-shoo…

Because my body was busy sniping the others.

“Snap!” “Ah!” “Ee!”

(720)

Pulling the trigger hit the people who came after me. Seven people were solved in an instant. The person who was in close pursuit fell off his horse and dropped to the ground.

Unexpectedly counterattacked, the assassins wondered if they had panicked. Brush pull- Arrows began to fly in swarms.

Puh-chuh, puh-chuh-! Countless arrows grazed and landed on the trees. But the out-of-control body won’t succumb to the baptism of arrows and keeps shooting.

(1020)

The arrow skims thrillingly across the temple, and I execute three more assassins.

Enough -!

At that time, I didn’t know if this mission really wanted to get rid of the assassins, or to get out of the situation.

Suddenly a crisis was felt from the side. The body occupied by the system tilted violently that way.

Pfft–“Ah!”

Probably the detachment approached on all sides. A guy in a tree, with the scream of a horse, flung himself to the ground. The moment.

“Gong-girl!”

The crown prince pulled down my waist at once and hugged me fiercely. Brush pull-!

“Hmmm ……”

The Crown Prince muffled a low grunt. He had the javelin stuck in his shoulder.

“Your Highness!”

With his left hand, which wasn’t holding a sword, the Crown Prince threw his javelin at one of the assassins that approached.

Splat–When that guy was shot, I raised my waist to aim with my stone bow.

“Hey, are you alright, your highness?”

Despite frantically shooting the stone bow, I really wanted to pass out. I want to see his wound, but the body that keeps shooting the stone bow can’t do that.

“What if something goes wrong?”

Possibly in pain for the second time, the Crown Prince said nervously. But quickly added in a soft voice.

“Don’t care. Wearing light armor, it didn’t stick too deep.”

Pfft–The crown prince returned the favor by using to hit the javelin that flew again.

I let out a deep sigh of relief. What a damn situation, I spat out a complaint. If he hadn’t held me earlier, I wonder if it would have been my head that would have been shot.

“…… Thanks.”

I murmured carefully. Luckily, you can talk as much as you want. The Crown Prince muttered.

“Well? Will this level of affection match the male daughter’s last crush on me?”

“It’s not like last time.”

“That’s a shame.”

Seeing him babbling again seemed fine. Great.
