"Yes, I must have ran to the edge of the woods. I heard that fire foxes generally have more than a dozen caves. Sometimes the entire forest is its nest. I saw it here yesterday, and I believe it must go again. Change the hole"

"Unfortunately, we didn't bring Natok this time. If I had the sharp nose of Natok, we would definitely be able to catch the Firefox!" Giljak was full of regret, and the whip in his hand was unwilling. With a swing, he hit the tree pole next to him. There is a crisp sound

"Hey, look at who this is." Just when Giljak was full of regret, several aristocratic teenagers in knight costumes walked out of the woods with a smile on their faces, all with their backs on their backs. The sophisticated strong bow and the fascinating look on Ellenstein's body, a young man who took the lead said in a frivolous tone, "Isn't this Miss Ellenstein from the Duke of Duais family?

The bow and arrow in his hand creaked because of the force, and the flashing arrow trembles slightly. The person was also pale, his eyes filled with hesitation, and no one knew if this fool would fight to the death.

"Don’t be like this, Giljak! Alan Stein’s soft voice rang in his ears

"I am a member of the Duai family, and the destiny of the family is my concubine!" Alan Stein's pretty face looked at Lehrinster and others with an unspeakable fortitude. The inherent extravagance and majesty of the Duke's family made Lehrinster, who was still extremely arrogant just now, feel a kind of pressure. It seemed that he was not a girl who was only fifteen years old. It's the will of this legendary family that has passed on for a century

"Don't worry, noble Miss Alanstein! I am now a servant of the Satu family. As a servant, it is my duty to perform the master's intentions."" Lehrnster performed an aristocratic ceremony with embarrassment. , Squeezed a wry smile on his face that is more ugly than crying,
