The dawn before the sun rises.
Countless torches brightly illuminated the surroundings.
On a stone platform, Owen, dressed in a leather hunting outfit, shouted from the forefront.
“The hunting competition will begin soon. Release the scoreboard!”
The knights were arranged and stood in a row.
A knight holding a red flag waved it vigorously.
Soon, the scoreboard for the hunting competition was revealed.
Small game like squirrels or rabbits earned 1 point each, birds earned 2 points, herbivores like deer earned 3 points.
Large predators like alligators, lions, and tigers could aim for high scores of 10 or 15 points.
If you hunted a species with rare fur color, the score would be even higher.
For example, catching a silver fox that appears once every hundred years or a Dorph with beautiful fur and sturdy horns would guarantee the highest score with just one catch.
The detailed list of animals on the scoreboard made the participants’ hearts race.
‘Just as it is in the novel….’
Artia muttered happily as she scanned the scoreboard.
The hunting competition area this time is the Eastern Forest.
The detailed information, including the locations where high-scoring animals listed on the scoreboard were found, was vividly engraved in Artia’s mind.
In the Eastern Forest, there was an area where silver foxes, appearing once every hundred years, could be found.
Not only in the main story of “Blooms of Blood on the Battlefield” but also in the appendix, detailed information about which animals were present and the direction to go was provided.
Among the many episodes, the hunting part excited Artia’s instincts. The thrill of chasing and capturing prey.
Artia loved animals so much that she never engaged in hunting or harming animals in reality.
However, in the novel, she satisfied herself vicariously. Knowing where everything was, how many there were.
So, no matter where the hunting competition took place, Artia was confident of winning.
Artia looked at the compass in her hand.
Among the rare animals, the easiest to catch in this weather was the silver fox.
So, it didn’t matter if Owen set off first.
In this competition, no matter how many animals you caught, a rare animal was more valuable.
Since Owen said he couldn’t find a rare animal in the novel, victory was already secured for her.
As the scoreboard was revealed, the sound of a drum was heard.
Dung, dung, dung!
Nobles on horseback stirred.
“As expected, His Highness the Crown Prince will be in first place, right?”
“Yeah. Has His Highness ever missed first place? First place is always fixed.”
“Still, let’s acknowledge up to the fifth place. Getting into the top five is like picking stars from the sky.”
“Hmph, this time, I’ll have to pray for good luck.”
The nobleman was making various noises, and they glanced at the Wellington Duke who came from the north.
Dressed in a neat hunting outfit, he appeared as dignified as Owen.
He looked into the distance at the forest with a stern face.
Thinking he was a country bumpkin from the north, the nobles were surprised to find a refined and handsome man, and they raised their eyebrows with a slightly awkward expression.
Observing Artia’s tightly tied hair and attire, the nobles whispered among themselves.
“It seems he’s participating with his wife.”
“Hmph.”
“I thought the hunting competition was a joke.”
“I thought he would wear a dress, but he’s still dressed in hunting attire.”
“Hahaha!”
The nobles ridiculed Artia.
There was no nobleman who participated with his wife. In the past, there were occasionally male nobles who brought their wives, but nowadays, it was rare.
Rather, it was considered tacky.
Although they spoke in hushed tones so that only they could hear, Artia could still understand from their uncomfortable glances what they were talking about.
However, she was indifferent.
Artia stretched her arms straight up to the sky. Then, she twisted her body slowly from side to side.
The nobles looked at Artia with curious eyes.
“What is she doing?”
“Maybe trying to loosen up her body.”
“Hahaha!”
“Yeah. She has to do that to be able to walk ten steps, right?”
After briefly relaxing her body, Artia, holding a compass in her hand, earnestly marked something on the map.
Each of Artia’s small movements seemed amusing to the nobles.
“What is she trying to do with such a feeble woman? It would be fortunate if she doesn’t get hurt.”
“Leave her alone. It seems like she’s trying her best to win like that. It’s pitiful.”
Owen, who watched everything from the platform, narrowed his eyes as he saw Artia marking on the map she had prepared with a compass.
‘Where did she pick up this information?’
However, it was strange to think that she marked on the map without any particular thoughts.
Most of the places Artia
As if she didn’t care about the laughter from others, Artia, exchanging glances with Cascus, who was smiling, was etched deeply into Owen’s mind.
Gradually, the sun began to rise above Owen’s head.
With the brightening of the day, the hunting competition began.
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
