The group of people went to pick the horses and then selected the bows and arrows before riding into the green jungle.
Pablo said as he picked a meek horse for Vincent, "Vincent, just go have fun. It doesn't matter if you can't shoot any prey. I'll give you some."
He tried to keep his voice down and completely ignored the first place that everyone was after.
"Alright," Vincent replied. After that, Pablo and Rex smiled and helped him to get on the horse. It seemed that being needed by Vincent was a very satisfying and blissful thing.
Baron glanced at the Second Elder while getting on his horse. Then he casually checked the private box of Mrs. Britt with a curtain drawn.
Every year, Baron would coldly watch the mothers of other islanders caringly told their children to be safe and not to get hurt before the event started. Deep down, he wanted so bad to watch his woman come out of the box and say to him...
"Be careful, my son."
Even if it was just a brief reminder.
However, until Baron left on his horse, he did not hear anyone calling his name.
Pablo led the horse over with Timothy and her horse followed behind. There was no rule on Emerald Island that said women could not participate, but most of them were men. Thus, everyone thought she was just a servant of Pablo and did not pay much attention to her.
Pablo, on the other hand, frowned and glanced at her. He was worried that he would say something wrong in front of everyone, so he did not talk to her. He strode towards Ferne and Kamron and asked, "Do you want to participate?"
"Don't we need to clean our hands for the next ceremony? I'd like to keep my hands that way." Although Ferne said so, his expression suggested that if Pablo invited him again, he could only take the plunge.
"You can just go over there and wash your hands. There's no need to attend the ceremony together. Do you want to go? There are still a few horses over there." As Pablo raised his arm and caught the falcon, Timothy quickly held up the small bucket she carried and threw a piece of meat into the falcon's mouth.
Pablo gently swung his arm. Then the falcon spread its wings and ascended into the sky. It swept across the green forest with sharp gazes, and let out a piercing cry to send the location of the small animals to Pablo.
Pablo blew a whistle with his index finger, and the falcon responded with a shriek.
The islanders all cheered and shouted, "All hail the lord!"
Ferne was somewhat moved by this atmosphere. He looked eagerly at the expressionless Noah.
"Baron has already gone in the jungle. He would not come out for a while. Besides, there are so many people here. I don't dare him to do anything reckless. We can also go in and have some fun. Don't you think?" Ferne persuaded as he peered at Janessa.
Janessa was about to reply when she saw Emily, who was chewing the candy and asking Donna softly, "Mom, is that a real horse? Can I touch it?"
Donna did not know what to answer it.
Pablo stepped up and said to her, "It's a real horse. Come and feel it."
Timothy looked at Emily warily, not sure if this Emily was 'seven years old' or 'eighteen years old'.
However, she had this innocent look while chewing the candy, which was just how she was deceived that night.
Noticing that Emily's eyes were full of joy, Donna finally nodded. "Go." Then she looked at Janessa, Ferne, and the others, and said, "Go ahead. It's fine. Young people deserve to have some fun."
"Really?" Emily asked happily.
Donna was dumbfounded. She meant Janessa and the others, and she didn't want Emily to go. Besides, she just promised to let her touch the horse, not agreed to let her go with them?
"Let's go together. We'll take care of her anyway." Janessa smiled and put her arm around Emily's shoulder.
Ferne stood up in high spirits. "Yeah, we have so many people to watch her."
Donna glanced at Emily again. Her eyes were sparkling as if she was waiting for her mother's consent. Donna smiled reluctantly and said, "OK, but don't cause trouble for them."
"Sure!" Emily exclaimed happily.
Noah pinched the space between his eyebrows. He always had bad sleep quality but it was the first time that he had not slept much throughout the night. Moreover, he thought that Ferne would have to rest here for at least a few hours today. To his surprise, when Ferne heard about the hunting festival, he immediately became excited. So, Noah did not know whether he was bearing the fatigue or he had infinite energy at youth.
Janessa agreed. Armando naturally had no objections. In addition, Ferne and Noah would go. So did Jaquan and Emma. Only Kamron and bodyguard Tom were left .... No, bodyguard Tom also raised his hand high.
