Re: The Villainess Does It With Class

She's seriously killing me with her eyes.

'What is the deal with her, honestly? I have never met this girl before, am I right? Why does she hate me so much?'

"Tch. Vineas would always be Vineas. Jealous pricks," Nathan snickered.

'I don't think you should say that to a lady though, brother.'

Ezekiel clapped his hand once, getting our attention.

"We have wasted too much time dawdling. Let us hunt and win this!" He announced.

My lips quirked at the side, "You're a prince, you can't win this.. That would be unfair for the masses," I remarked.

Ezekiel only beamed, face shining like the sun.

'Ah, my eyes… Now that they are gathered here together, isn't this group looking ridiculous?'

I studied each of them. Six guys stood proud and tall, and are all extremely good-looking to the point of ridiculousness. My heart and eyes could not cope with this abundance of eye-candies, it makes my teeth ache.

From Nathan's cool guy aura to Eon's childish charm. Conrad's playful charisma shines through with his long black hair tied up into a ponytail. Luther has this refreshing allure and to Noah, who may appear average out of them, but still, look handsome with his boyish charm. Let us not talk about the Prince because it is already given. He is shining like the sun as always.

Add Lukas and Janus and the fish tank would be completed.

"Let's go!" Eon shouts and joyfully grabs his horse's reins.

The rest of them rode their own horses, while I was being hoisted up together with Nathan. It's because I had forgotten to practice horse-riding. Kind of dumb, yes.

Anyhow, Nathan volunteered to ride with me even though I had told him a lot of times that it would be troublesome for him. I mean, how can he hunt passionately with another person with him? He told me it is fine though, which I doubted.

Well, we are here now anyway, nothing to do about that.

After all that jazz, our group then set forth to the forest and the hunt started.

--------------***

I freaking knew it….

We have been wandering around the forest for almost two hours but we still haven't found any monsters at all. There were wild rabbits, but what could a wild rabbit amount to? That would be extremely pitiful to hunt ain't it?

"Nathan, you know you can go wild if you want right?" I voiced out.

He was behind me, holding the reins, and had been maneuvering his horse into a steady pace. I am seriously holding him back…

And the others too…

Eon, Luther, and Conrad had let loose and were running around looking for monsters since earlier. While Prince Ezekiel, Noah, and Beatriz stayed with us, moving at a snail pace.

I turned to them, "You guys could too, you know. Don't mind me please."

This is making me feel guilty. I feel both useless and a bother, dang it.

"It is fine Nadia, you don't have to worry about it. As you said, I am exempted in the competition so not getting any big kill is alright," Ezekiel says.

"But--"

"Don't stress about it, you are not a bother," Nathan muttered.

'Aww come ooon. I know I am, you don't have to be so considerate…'

I glanced to the side to see what Bea and Noah were thinking, but they did not look annoyed at all. They were riding their horses steadily, and looking at peace. This feels like we are not on the hunt but a stroll instead.

"Look, a three-horned deer!" Noah exclaims out of the blue.

Everyone turned to where he was pointing. On an open clearing not far away from our position, a deer was hunched down nibbling on some grass. It was big, an adult perhaps, and has three great horns protruding on its head.

'Oh wow, I have never seen something like it…'

"That's a great catch, on par with wyverns because of its horns," Prince Ezekiel commented.

"Mmm," Bea

Ezekiel smiled at me, "See, you are bringing us good luck just by going like this."

'Good luck, that is only a coincidence you know… But thanks cousin~'

"Let's have a race! Whoever catches that deer gets the right on it," Ezekiel voiced out.

The three of them immediately got sharp as they eyed the innocent deer grazing from a distance.

"It's ours," Nathan declared and tightened his hold on the horse.

'You meant, it's yours.'

"That deer is mine," Bea joins in brimming with determination.

"Let's see about it later," Noah remarked, still looking carefree.

"Now, now. It's good that you are all spirited. Then on the count of three--" Ezekiel was interrupted by Nathan suddenly bolting forward.

Because I was with him, of course, I would be surprised as well. He did not even let out a warning.

"What--" Ezekiel

"It's flight or fight," Nathan yells out loud as we race forward.

"You could at least wait for the three, brother," I mumbled.

"Hmph. Nothing will change, I will still win."

Wow, brother. You sound so arrogant right now…

Seeing that Nathaniel started without waiting for Ezekiel to count, Beatriz followed suit and chased after us. Noah and Ezekiel did not have any choice but to do it either. The deer who sensed his life was being wagered by three hot-blooded hunters, looked up from his grazing and saw us, closing in on him.

The deer quickly sprinted away and oh boy, was it fast. It literally zipped like the wind, which left me in utter bewilderment.

"Three-horned deers are considered a rare catch because of its horns and how fast it runs," Nathan explains.

The deer has run so far away it was almost out of our sight. I worry for Nathan, he seems to be intent on catching it but because I was riding with him, he cannot truly go faster.

"Nathan, drop me off and chase it," I nervously said.

The wind was slapping my face, it wouldn't be impossible to have tinnitus later after this.

Seems like Nathan doesn't want to because he totally ignored me and still chased on. Not long after, Bea and the others caught up with us.
