The hunting ground turned into chaos in an instant as monsters swarmed in.
From the Chimera with a lion’s head, a goat’s body, and a snake’s tail to Cerberus that snapped at anything with its three heads. A colossal Roc to a one-eyed Cyclops.
“That one is mine!”
“Last time, the Chimera promised to yield to me!”
While the servants enthusiastically fought each other to claim the monsters, the nobles, forgetting to draw their swords, were trembling in their places.
“Aren’t you going to catch one?”
One noble sharply raised his head, pointing at a charging monster, in response to the servant’s friendly suggestion.
“It’s fine.”
“Really? Then, excuse me.”
The excited servant swiftly cut down the monster with a single stroke.
As the servants easily dealt with the monsters one by one, the nobles, who had been hiding behind the servants, started cheering and supporting them.
“That one! That one! Hurry up and deal with it before it gets closer!”
“It’s over there too! Capture that one too!”
On the other hand, the cliff above was eerily quiet.
Just a few seconds ago, the young ladies who praised Kirian’s beauty and the noblewomen who praised Kirian’s personality were all frozen, sitting in place.
“Nice shot!”
Only the Duchess was sending enthusiastic cheers, clapping her hands.
“Oh, did I mention? Our Kirian might not know much else, but he’s incredibly good at catching monsters.”
Ignoring the fan altogether, the Duchess started avidly watching through her opera glasses.
Some young ladies began sobbing, but their cries were drowned out by the monsters’ roars.
“Green, green blood…!”
One young lady whispered before fainting and collapsing to the side, but no one came to her aid. Everyone was too busy covering their eyes and ears.
Esmaralda, who managed to maintain composure, quickly supported the young lady before she collapsed to the ground.
“Oh, Sir Douglas’s attack on the monster was handled by our Kirian.”
Lady Douglas turned pale and muttered something with her mouth tightly shut.
“There’s no bond as resilient as that of a lifesaver.”
When Kirian easily defeated the Chimera that attacked Sir Douglas, the Duchess put down her opera glasses.
“How about getting the children engaged during this opportunity?”
The Duchess laughed playfully and lightly tapped Lady Douglas’s arm.
And then, I witnessed a very strange phenomenon.
As if the two words ‘engagement’ were a magic spell, the terrified noblewomen and young ladies, who had been frozen with fear, all came alive.
“Oh, to handle monsters in a single stroke, how truly admirable!”
“Sir Kirian! Please save our father too!”
The young ladies started sending enthusiastic cheers towards the hunting ground.
“The young man riding the wood is my brother!”
Even the fainted young lady stood up and began shouting.
The noblewomen sparkled their eyes and flocked around the Duchess, who was laughing.
Among them, the Duchess seemed to have completely forgotten the fact that monsters had attacked her husband just a while ago, as she started to fan herself with a wide smile.
“Our daughter is modest and beautiful, but her only flaw is being too kind. By the way, I thought Kirian would be a perfect match for our daughter.”
“Oh, really?”
The Duchess laughed like a cat catching its prey and opened her fan with a swish.
“It worked out well. I was planning to engage Kirian this year.”
“Oh, oh!”
Lady Douglas clapped her hands.
“I was also planning to engage our daughter this year! It seems like they are destined for each other!”
Other noblewomen, aware of the financial situation of Lord Douglas, which had delayed the engagement of the young Lord for quite some time, chuckled.
“It seems like the Lady engages her son every year. It’s not just talk, even this year?”
Adam’s Viscountess sarcastically remarked, and Lady Douglas trembled with anger.
Seizing the opportunity, an elegant voice naturally interjected.
“Our daughter also needs to be engaged promptly. I’ve been pondering a lot lately.”
It was Lady Marjorie.
The Duchess looked at Lady Marjorie with a subtle expression.
“Oh, really?! I thought Lady Esmeralda would be engaged to Kirian while in the Duke’s estate since I haven’t heard any news.”
Lady Marjorie displayed a graceful smile.
“No. Our daughter also needs to marry someone she loves.”
The Duchess unknowingly inclined her head closer to Lady Marjorie.
“Exactly! I always thought Lady Esmeralda was a gentle and kind lady while she was in the Duke’s estate. She’s also a close friend of Reyna, and in many ways, she seems to match well with Kirian.”
The Duchess’s gaze shifted to Esmeralda. Instead of making a fuss like the other young ladies, Esmeralda calmly observed the hunt, earning the Duchess’s approving smile.
“I have heard enough about Sir Kirian’s character and abilities. If Sir Kirian can be welcomed as a member of our family, it would be an unparalleled honor.”
As Lady Marjorie’s smile deepened, the Duchess nodded slightly.
“Then, shall we proceed with it?”
Unintentionally, I let out a sigh.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
