The sun had gradually started to set and the skies were clear. Set to depart after the initial platoon of Knight Guard members, the crown prince’s entourage included less than twenty among its ranks. Aside from the prince and the Graciers, the rest of the party was filled out by members of the Knights Guard. Ein was determined to enjoy the sights and sound of Barth up until the last second, but reality wasn’t so lax. Standing at the front of the party, Lloyd noticed the presence of a nearby monster.

“Ah, an Eight-eyed Rabbit,” he said.

“Huh? What’s that?” Ein asked.

“Over there.”

Lloyd pointed towards a large, eight-eyed rabbit that was about the size of a horse-drawn carriage.

“The name is self explanatory,” Lloyd said.

“Huh...” Ein muttered. “Is it delici—I mean, strong?”

“Two members of the Knights Guard would make short work of this monster. It makes for a tasty meal, but the vermin won’t fight back unless it’s concerned with its life at stake. It’ll generally use its superb agility to run off. And as such, you won’t see much of this rabbit’s meat on the market and what is around tends to be gone before it’s anywhere near Kingsland.”

“Sir Ein, I believe taste shouldn’t be your priority in this situation,” Dill added wearily.

“Lloyd, Dill is being strict as usual,” Ein whined.

“I’m not sure what to say...” Lloyd replied, sounding a little troubled.

Laughter erupted from the accompanying Knights Guard members as the tense atmosphere had relaxed slightly. It’d been several minutes since they’d left Barth, but the entire party was walking on pins and needles. No one could let the guard down—Upaskamuy could strike at any time, as could the other monsters prowling around. Suddenly, the Eight-eyed Rabbit took off.

“Oh no! My dinner!” Ein said, in an attempt to lighten the mood. However, that very same mood suddenly shifted. “It seems like I was right on the money.”

“Indeed...” Lloyd said. “This is a complicated feeling... I’m glad, but sad at the same time. Everyone should run. NOW!”

The entire party made a run for it as soon as Lloyd’s order rang out. The snow-filled ground wasn’t paved with stone or dirt. In fact, it was more akin to running through soft sand. As the snow reached their ankles, everyone struggled to press forward. The ground rumbled and a cold sweat washed over the party as they felt a massive presence charging up from behind.

“Hah! Hah!” Ein panted. “Lloyd, how long until we reach the lake?!”

“At this speed, it shouldn’t take ten minutes!” Lloyd shouted back.

“Great! I guess our everyday training is paying off!”

“Indeed! But when we return to Kingsland, I’m thinking of suggesting a snowfield-focused training regimen to His Majesty! We might run into a similar situation like this in the future!”

“I’ll join that training! For next time!”

Both Lloyd and Ein were thinking about the future—clear indications that they planned on making it back alive. Dill and the rest of the Knights Guard gave a firm nod as they exerted more power into their footsteps.
