Chapter 99.

“Miss! You know, now everywhere is just saying that Miss has become the King of Prey. Great.”

Emily exclaimed from the carriage.

“Is that good?”

“Of course! Let’s get the Kerins to flatten their noses.”

Perhaps there were too many passengers, Emily exclaimed, “Instead of being chased by prey like everyone else, our male daughter hunts bears straight up to take 1st place!”

“Don’t go alone, take all the maids in the house.”

“Of course!”

Emily nodded firmly, her eyes fixed on her. They enjoyed it more than the parties involved, fighting spirit, and couldn’t help but smile bitterly at the sight.

The compensation for becoming a hunter was not as severe as one would think, being in a state of losing a good opportunity. Although I didn’t want it, the only final compensation I got in the process was “pocket money” and “fame”.

-Shouldn’t you give about 10% of your favorability?

But seeing a happy Emily made me feel a little better.

Well, that’s not bad.

The favorability of all but one of the main characters exceeded 40%. Because it took a long time, it was a good result.

Especially the Crown Prince. It went up from 2% to 45%, and is ahead of what with a 43% difference. Now it’s at the point where it’s time to buy insurance for someone.

But I immediately shook my head, no, not the Crown Prince by any means.

That guy hadn’t even found me yet, so it was a good thing he escaped. If I really managed to utter profanity like the Inquisitor said, that damn good feeling might go down.

In the process of thinking about this, it was felt that the carriage slowly came to a stop. Before getting up, Emily stood up, opened the door and stepped down.

“The carriage from the palace seems to have arrived.”

Just as Emily said, it was arriving first by a slim margin, still the staff sent separately from the palace put down a lot of prey in the yard in front of the public official.

“Hey, who’s this.”

The stewards and hired hands who appeared to greet her had their mouths open. Luckily, the Duke and his two sons arrived first. Unlike them who left straight after hunting, I’m a bit late since I left after lunch at the palace.

“Oh, these are mine.”

I stepped out of the carriage with Emily’s assistance.

Whispering “Ah, miss? ” the butler came towards me in a panic.

But was unable to come as the staff had placed huge golden colored boxes in front of him.

With the snap of a gun the lid of the iron box was lifted and closed. There was neither glow nor glow.

“Good heavens! My lady, it’s all gold.”

Emily ran there for me and picked up the gold coins that had fallen to the floor.

“Miss Penelope. This, what is all this money?

The butler came over late in a trance and asked

“And what are those animals? The Duke’s and Young Master’s hunts have just arrived ……”

“It’s my prey, butler.”

“Huh? What…”

“Haven’t you heard the news yet?

I don’t look like a good at grasping the situation all told the butler, and all of the duke’s servants, amiably.

“I’m the king of the hunt this time.”

* * *

The hide of the hunt. I wanted to use it little by little to make a winter coat for one. I thought the most I could do was to make a scarf for it.

It was bigger than expected, but decided to look on the bright side, because anything big is good.

Persuaded them to pack up their own edible meat and bring it to the kitchen.

The stewards, who had been left to their own devices at first, were quick to get up to speed. Especially the able black bears took a lot of pains with the bile for their tonic.

After doing my instructions to the crowd, I returned to my room and fell head over heels on my bed.

“Ha… Still home.”

As my rhythm hummed along, accompanied by a loud thud

What was that crisp sound? It was. Although pretending to act as if nothing happened, deep down I was overjoyed at the prize of 100 million gold. To appreciate the wealth, Emily was instructed to spread gold coins all over the bed.

Hee hee! I’m rich now. I can spend money like this to sleep.

I grinned as I grabbed my hand full of gold coins and splashed them in the air with a clatter. Under the light, the glittering gold color looks very beautiful and sharp. It hadn’t even occurred to me to sleep under a blanket in the moldy, semi-underground room.

I gleefully picked up another pot of gold coins to scatter on the bed!

At that time.” Really. Is it that good?

From the clear and pleasant voice, I suddenly heard a tiresome sound. I quietly rolled my eyes to confirm the direction from which the sound came.

At the door with the elongated arm, Leonard was seen. Emily had been so busy unpacking that she seemed to have left the door open. I frowned and spoke.

“What, why are you here?”

“You’ve done everything, why don’t you collapse in the tub?”

The guy sneered with an implausible look on his face

“Oh yeah? Washing gold coins is nice, isn’t it?” I was in a good mood, and it didn’t matter that he was being sarcastic even with my ghost words.

“I’m busy, if there’s nothing else, get out.”

Without answering, turning his focus to the gold coins, Leonard walked into the room. Then sat on the end of my bed.

“Ha, busy playing with gold coins?”

“Yeah.”

“Ugh. When will you understand?”

I was scolded hard by this guy’s. Ugh, you heard that kind of thing from this guy?

After freezing for a while before coming to my senses and glaring violently, the guy raised his chin without a head.

What?

“Why are you here?

I asked back impatiently. Instead of immediately answering his reason for coming, the guy stood up. Eyes narrowed and staring, he opened his mouth hopelessly.” To have dinner together.”

“What?”

I was so shocked that my upper body didn’t move.

“Why?

“The hunting match ended well, too, so do you have anything to say? Do I know?”

I was dumbfounded and rattled.

The campground was originally located in the hunting grounds, and no matter how luxurious it was, it was no match for the mansion. To save time, of course, breakfast had to be eaten with the staff, and one had to meet up with them often.

Also, before being involved in the assassination it was thought that it would survive, but after the trial it rapidly became uncomfortable. Hence the escape to the palace. Now that I’m back at work, it’s just a closed-door affair like before…Why on earth are you tormenting me again? Just leave me alone!

I said with a shudder as soon as I returned.

“I like to be by myself. And what I ate in the morning wasn’t digested.”

The sun is dark, and now it’s indigestible?

Leonard snorted.

“At lunch.” Panicked, I blurted out

You said you were only missing four days ago?

“Well, just pass it on.”

“Yikes. Cut the jokes…

Leonard frowned at my words and suddenly looked back at me. The mouth that opened as if it was trying to say a sentence, tightened up once again at the sight of my expressionless face. I seemed to realize that this wasn’t a joke at all.

He shouted wildly while grabbing a handful of pink hair.

“… Ugh! I told you, it’s up to you if you come or not.”

Because it was meant that way, I didn’t answer any questions. A gloomy silence temporarily appeared in the room.

“… I’m afraid you’ll misunderstand.”

The one who couldn’t endure the awkward silence and broke the ice first was Leonard.

“We wanted to give it to you, but we weren’t able to give you the prey. No?”

“….?”

“To prevent ranking fraud, the rule is that you can’t cross the line between family members.”

Listening to that disgusting guy was just dumbfounding. Why explain the rules of a hunting convention that had ended without a prize?

Plus the words that you can’t hand it over even if you want to. Suddenly thinking of me like that.

He swallowed the contemplation that erupted. I finally understood why Leonard wanted me to say such words. The prey wasn’t handed over, mistaking me for being angry.

I chatted breathlessly for a moment, then topped it off harshly.

“I know” actually no.

Leonard asked “What happened to the kid you knew?”

“I mean that one.”

“The one before he went crazy.”

“It’s not that, so don’t worry about it.”

“Wasn’t going to give that one to you,”

Probably true, but he was all alone in misinterpreting me and was excited to hear it.

“How hard is it to catch a critter alive? So I’ve decided to give up everything I’ve ever hunted to kill a ferocious beast.

He shut his mouth when he threw a stubborn tantrum.

…a red-faced dry cough.

“Stop, stop! Don’t get mad, just say what you want and I’ll give it all to you.”

It’s okay, why do you have to get angry.

I’m a person who is rich enough with just the gold coins behind me. But it seems like that guy won’t leave if he doesn’t immediately answer what it is he wants to get.

‘What has he ever caught ……’

I had to revisit the prey that Leonard had caught. Beavers, rabbits, roe deer. And…

Mouth moving first, a scene flashed through my mind. A rabbit made from a white handkerchief.

So he handed Emmy a rabbit that wasn’t moving and forgot about it.

“A rabbit?”

“Yes, rabbit. I want to see you run around.”

At that moment, Leonard grabbed a rabbit.

“Got it. Tell the butler to put it in the woods.”

He nodded at my words and finally got out of bed. That one looked like he was interested.

“Okay?” Now unpack the unpleasantness.”

“I’m not upset either.”

“Come down for dinner later.”

Since there was no idea like that at all, there was no answer. But as it turned out, the Duke’s dinner exhortation was not out of willfulness, but was too inevitable to participate in.

After Leonard left, I drifted off to sleep clutching my gold coin.
