Rejected And Unwanted? No Call Her Princess (by Hannah Ruell) novel Chapter 203

Lachlan slowly cut the steak on the plate. “It was originally a solo activity, but it has been changed. It’s not safe for one to hunt alone.”

“Lachlan, did you change it for my sake?” In an instant, Ash was a little flattered.

Lachlan put down his knife and fork, treating Ash like a child. “Ash, you didn’t come to hunt before; you don’t know the danger. Although the place is almost fully monitored, sometimes accidents are inevitable. Be good. I can rest assured with Calvert accompanying you.”

Calvert raised his eyebrows slightly, waiting for Ash’s reply.

Ash sighed imperceptibly. She had to cover up her lie no matter what.

She smiled and agreed, “Okay, I’ll be with him. Don’t worry. But… If we do that, will others really have no objections?”

“They won’t have any objections, and it doesn’t matter even if they do.” Lachlan’s voice was flat, but his tone was unquestionable.

Before the afternoon activities officially started, Brooke prepared a lot of equipment for Ash, including various protective wrist gear.

Ash was a little helpless. “Mom, do I have to bring that much? I suppose there’s a certain danger, but it shouldn’t be that dangerous. Besides, I’m with Calvert. Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”

Ash only took a pair of wrist guards and a head shield.

Brooke was especially serious. “Ash, you can’t afford to be careless. You must be prepared. It’s your first time hunting, and you aren’t familiar with this environment, so you should be more prepared.”

Calvert said, “Just listen to Mrs. Turner.”

Ash thought, ‘Calvert must have done this on purpose.’

She glanced at Calvert and said lightly, “Are you so unconfident in yourself? You made me prepare so many things. Are you worried that you can’t protect me?”

“You should be prepared for emergencies. Mrs. Turner’s approach is right. Opportunities are left for those who are prepared. It doesn’t hurt to be more prepared.” Calvert disagreed with Ash.

Ash looked at Calvert with displeasure. “Okay, I’ll take them all. You should take some too. It will seem like my mother is biased if she only gives them to me.”

Brooke was clueless about Ash and Calvert’s disagreement. She just smiled lightly. “Okay, I’ve prepared a lot of things. Calvert also has a share. Don’t worry.”

Ash immediately smiled at Brooke’s words. “Good then. You have what I have, so our safety is guaranteed.”

“Are you that happy to drag me down?” Calvert slowly asked when Ash started humming a ditty,

Ash carried a bag on her back and nodded without thinking. “Since you don’t help me, let’s bear it together. Of course I’m happy. I don’t need to carry such a big bag alone.”

As soon as Ash spoke, she felt the weight on her shoulders suddenly disappear. She turned to look and found that Calvert had lifted her bag.

“Take it down and give it to me.”

Ash’s eyes lit up. Almost without any hesitation, she quickly took down the bag and handed it to him. “I shan’t stand on ceremony then-”

Before she could finish speaking, Calvert threw the bag on the grass. “Since this thing is in the way, just throw it away. Otherwise, it will be inconvenient to move around later.”

Ash was speechless.

She wondered how Brooke would feel if she knew that her kind intentions had gone wasted.

“Someone will collect it later, don’t worry. We will be going uphill later, and there are many weeds. Watch your step and follow me.” Calvert glanced at the compass and looked up at the sky.

His voice was cold and steady. “Two hours. We have to return before four o’clock. It’s likely to rain later today.”

Ash looked at the big sun above her. At this moment, the sky was clear. It was really hard to imagine that it would rain later, but the humidity in the wind was indeed higher than usual.

“You know meteorology?” Ash followed behind Calvert, who took every step steadily.

Calvert wore black leather gloves and pressed down the branches on one side. “Isn’t this common sense?”

Ash rolled her eyes silently behind him and muttered, “How immodest.”

“If you want to say anything, you can speak louder. It’s not your nature to whisper behind someone’s back.” Calvert took a big step up, then bent back and reached out to her. “Come up.”

Looking at Calvert’s outstretched hand, Ash panicked for a moment but finally held it. As soon as she went up, she heard a faint sound coming from the grass.

There seems to be a snake, southeast of you. Don’t move. When I count down to one, you turn around and shoot.” Ash subconsciously grabbed Calvert’s arm.

She held her breath and listened to the sound as she counted down, “Three, two, one. Shoot!”

Calvert acted swiftly and without delay. A spotted white snake about 30 inches long died at their feet.

He took out a bottle of spray from his bag, bent over, and sprayed it on her trouser legs several times. “We will arrive at our destination shortly. There will be more snakes and insects. Put on your mask and stop if there’s any problem.

“Your luck is really bad. This route is tortuous and muddy.” Calvert was almost at the same pace as her. “And there are very few prey.

Ash pursed her lips. “If you’re lucky, why didn’t you draw the lot at that time? Isn’t it a little too late to be sarcastic now?”

“You were so enthusiastic at that time. How could I offer to do it?”
