Quincy was quite clumsy; she had failed to catch any of the snow wolves.
She grunted softly and kept quiet when she saw Darryl approached and tried to catch the snow wolves.
The royal guards fixed their eyes on Darryl.
The Prince Consort looked confident, so he must have a way to do that. Otherwise, the Princess would not have fallen for him.
However, Darryl's action completely startled the guards.
He cut up hundreds of tree branches; all of them were the size of an arm.
Then, he laid those branches on the ground. It looked like they were laid there haphazardly, but it seemed like they made a heart shape from a distance.
"Is the Prince Consort confessing his love to the Princess?"
"He is so romantic. He arranges the tree branches into a heart shape."
The royal guards started to talk amongst themselves. Then, Darryl waved his hand and yelled after he put down the last branch. "Okay, everyone! Please stand back. We'll just wait for the snow wolves to come in here." Darryl cracked a confident smile.
'Can branches catch a pack of snow wolves?'
'That is random. How can it possibly work?'
The royal guards exchanged looks with each other; they mumbled discreetly but dared not speak their mind.
"Darryl!"
Quincy furrowed her eyebrows, and she said in a huff, "What are you doing?"
She had failed to capture any of the snow wolves. Yet, Darryl wanted to catch them with those branches? That was beyond over-confidence; that was simply bragging.
Darryl ignored her, but he smiled at the guards. "What are you doing? Go get them!"
A few hundred royal guards set off immediately in all directions and began to goad the snow wolves.
Somewhere in the woods, about a hundred meters away, Celine and Queenie had tailed the entourage. They frowned when they saw the scene.
"Why is Darryl behaving like this?"
After she watched the scene for a while, Queenie bit her lips and stomped her feet. "My cousin should be in the World Universe, waiting for him to return. But he's here hunting with the Princess and used those branches to make her happy."
Celine did not respond immediately. She looked thoughtfully at the branches and said, "He didn't do that to make the princess happy; it seems like a formation..."
