"How the hell did you get here!"
For the imperial hunting competition, all dangerous beasts were eliminated.
Even if it's not just a beast but a monster, is this really a coincidence?
Isn't someone trying to assassinate the Emperor?
"Giant Bear... Is a top-notch monster..."
He was the one who could annihilate an upper-middle knight group alone.
In addition, he said he would catch a white deer now, and the Emperor jumped out at will, so he distanced himself from the existing guards.
The momentum of the imperial knights was sharpened by anxiety and vigilance.
"Protect His Majesty!"
If the Emperor were to die too, they would have to abandon the idea of going out alive.
However, not everyone was concerned about this sudden situation.
'It's time. It's my chance to play now. Alas, the sky didn't just throw me away!'
Juan, who had never safely escaped the city under the protection of the Western Empress, could not know the danger of the Giant Bear.
Therefore, he was rather pleased with the current unexpected situation.
How I hoped that a dramatic opportunity would come to melt my father's frozen heart!
"Father! I'll protect you!"
Juan ran towards the Emperor and raised his bow in a flash.
The bow aimed at the Giant Bear's heart was pulled tightly.
Boom!
However, the arrow he shot could not penetrate the monster's thick body and bounced off without a pulse.
"It's big!"
No, it seemed to be even angrier.
Giant Bear became even more frenzied.
"Oh, rescue His Majesty first, Kee, Keuk-!"
It jumped out like thunder and slammed the closest escort in two.
Then he rushed fiercely towards Juan.
People were hurt, and terrible screams rang out as the horses' sides burst.
"Huh, huh..."
Before he knew it, the swords of the imperial knights who had been killed by the black bear were scattered on the floor.
Juan spilled the blood of the knight who had died in front of him.
Giant Bear turned his head towards Perdiccas II, who had fallen to the ground, as if looking for his next prey.
His face turned blue.
"Ugj..."
"Who is there! His Majesty is in danger! Come on!"
Juan frantically pulled a red smoke grenade out of the arms of the dead knight and detonated it.
It was a way to contact the rescue team during the hunting competition.
"Whoa-!"
However, the beast in front of him did not allow Juan to have such leisure or hope.
The front paws flew again.
"Juan..."
In an instant, all the guards were killed, and now all that was left was Juan and the Emperor.
Even the Emperor had broken his ankle when he fell off his horse a while ago, making it impossible to move.
"Oh, ahhhhh...!"
At that moment. Juan's face and mind went white.
All that remained in his mind, where the throne, father, and power were all erased, was the survival Instinct to live.
"Ugh!"
He threw down his quiver and ran away, shouting for the forest to leave.
"Me, that...!"
Perdiccas II, who had to watch the scene right in front of his nose, was shocked as if he had been hit in the back of the head by a rock.
The Emperor had a selfish personality that could not tolerate others betraying him, even if he betrayed them.
The years were overshadowed, and he felt a sense of contempt.
The fact that he was abandoned by his children in front of a cruel monster and cowered like a behind-the-scenes mouse left a deep scar on his pride.
Wow!
Instead of chasing the fleeing prey, the monster decided to eat Perdiccas II in front of him.
The beast raised its front paws again.
***
When Cesare and Medea found the Emperor's party, the scene they saw was Juan running away from his father in front of a giant glant bear.
"Ugh! I'm sorry, Father!"
The moment the Third Prince ran away screaming, he witnessed the shame and despair that fell on his father's face.
He did not immediately go to rescue the Emperor.
"Giant Bear?"
Cesare muttered lowly.
However, there was only a hint of surprise in that voice.
Even in the devastation in front of him, there was no Impatience or worry at all.
Medea also stopped.
"Why monsters? What I put in was hallucinogenic herb powder and siren magic stone powder."
It was a medicinal herb that caused hallucinations with ingredients that were contrary to the mania cure that the Emperor ate.
At the same time, the siren's magic stone left a very fine sound wave, allowing them to know the location of the Emperor and his party, so they could come here.
The hallucinogenic candle was intended to make Perdiccas II mistakenly believe that he was in danger when the hunt was ripe.
The moment he believes that even the Third Prince next to him is trying to harm him, if it is Cesare who saved him.
'That salvation will be imprinted like the rain that fell at the end of a drought.'
The perception of the 3rd Prince, whom he had always believed to be on his side, and the 1st Prince, who was persecuted because he was his enemy, would also change in the Emperor's mind.
However, it seems that she is not the only one who spent her time in today's hunting competition.
'A monster has appeared in the imperial hunting grounds... Who is targeting the Emperor?'
Before thinking about the background, the first thing to do now was to save the Emperor.
"Oh, ahhhhh...!"
"Ugh!
A torn scream of life and death echoed through the forest.
The black bear now turned his head to look at the Emperor.
However, there was no sign of sign next to Medea.
"Cesare."
Medea looked up at him.
The fact that he did not immediately go to save his father was probably the result of Cesare's heart completely drying up due to Perdiccas II's insult and coldness.
Medea could see the strength in Cesare's hand holding the reins. He seemed to be worried.
Shall we let the emperor die like this, or will we save him?
"I can't let him die."
There were too many people in this hunting ground today to pretend to be an accidental death.
If you don't do it, you may be suspected of being behind that monster.
Medea decided to save the Emperor. However, Cesare remained motionless.
His appearance was more like an observer, or rather, a bystander.
She quickly pulled Silva's leash.
Then the white horse slid out.
Medea blocked the fallen Emperor's way.
And the moment Giant Bear swung his front paw, the light flashed.
Cesare's sword pierced the Giant Bear's heart.
Cesare protected Medea in his arms.
To Perdiccas II, who was frightened and frightened, it seemed that Cesare had thrown himself to save his father.
At that moment, the giant bear fell to the ground with a thud.
Cesare grabbed his shoulder.
The sharp claws of the beast brushed against him, and the flesh was torn, and blood flowed from the place where he passed.
"Cesare!"
"You saved your father."
Perdiccas II's eyes were moved.
Instead of the 'me' that he has always adhered to show off his hierarchy, he calls himself 'father'.
The Emperor grabbed Cesare's hand. And squeezed it.
"This father will never forget what happened today.
"..."
"I won't forget it!"
"..."
Cesare did not answer.
Perhaps because he saved his life and his prejudice was removed, even his son's appearance seemed sincere.
"Your Majesty! Are you okay?"
Meanwhile, the Imperial knights arrived, who saw the smoke bomb and rushed over.
They were stunned when they saw the giant bear split in half.
The Third Prince, Juan, was found unconscious not far away.
Two knights carried him out of the woods on a stretcher.
The bloody hem of his clothes and the saliva leaking from the corners of his mouth told him about his condition.
"You stupid and pathetic bastard!"
Perdiccas II poured out contempt on him.
"You want to live your own life, push your father into his limbs, or rather, think of me as a father! Ugh!"
The more he thinks about that time, the more his teeth are split.
Perdicas II went on a rampage.
Angelique watched as his father spat on the body of the unconscious Third Prince.
