On the royal jaunt....

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 14578

Meanwhile....

She was woken by Samuel shaking her.

She soon finds out from her "dear" and "loving" husband that today was the day that she and he were to go out amongst their peers on a royal hunt in the nearby forest. Rebecca wonders if it should be seemly that a lady of such high class as herself should go on such, but puts it off as something that surely is expected and accepted (despite everything else). Maybe if she was lucky this worm of a man will get thrown from his horse and break his neck!

Small chance of that, she sighs as she goes out to dawn her hunting outfit.....

Moments later, she and a entourage (with guards, naturally) were riding their horses out towards the main exit.

A bit sullen at being forced along for this mandatory "fun" she looks around as she rides, fighting off a fleeting sense at how....oddly medieval this all seems (but surely this is modern she thinks to herself).

Then, passing near one of the more well to do part of the city (a place of taverns and inns for the better classes), she nearly falls off her horse in surprise.

Now, here is the problem. Rebecca, despite her being reincarnated, is not of this world (but of another). There was much lost in translation, as it were, but in the Angels haste to reinstate her to life it appears that shortcuts were taken. That or they did what they did because they felt that such things would never happen on this world.

Then came the Challenge....

It appears that while maybe an ordinary mage (if there is such a thing on this world) might have not been noticed in magical disguise, there is a link between the Object of a Challenge (her) and the Champions sent to get her.

Thus when she sees two smallish beings who look like children but with odd reddish skin and other features reminiscent of a fox....

As for Cuthbert and the others, they had gotten through the shortcut "suggested" by the guard, and taken shelter in the more well to do section of town.

Out for a stroll to see the castle (and case it, secretly, while playing the tourist), Cuthbert blinks when he sees Rebecca staring at the demifoxes.

  1. "So near and so far," he whispers to himself, glancing at the guards around her and the others of her group as they stop around her, curious at her delay.
