Chapter 558

Each Ones Perspective on Horses

The Clan Chiefs meeting was going to take place in the Southern Capital of the Equestrian Kingdom, which was a relatively short distance of two days on horseback from the Fire Clans secret village.

Normally, Mia would have ridden in a carriage, dozing off and proceeding leisurely. However, this time, she decided to head there on horseback deliberately, thanks to Malongs suggestion.

The people of the Equestrian Kingdom think that Princesses from foreign countries do not ride horses. I think that just by riding skilfully, your evaluation will greatly improve.Explore new novels on novelbin(.)com

I see. Well, it might be a good idea to get a little exercise in preparation for eating a lot.

Thought Mia, and quickly agreed to the suggestion.

After all, it was a gathering of the Chiefs of all twelves clans. So, Mia was convinced that delicious snacks would undoubtedly be served. In order to enjoy something delicious, it was best to earn some goodwill beforehand.

The one who undertook the duty of being Mias guard was Aima. It was her way of expressing gratitude for all the effort that Mia was taking for the sake of the Fire Clan.

Hmm. However, as I thought, Aima-san seems to be feeling a little down.

Mia snuck a glance at Aima, who was riding a horse next to her.

Ever since leaving the Fire Clan village, Aima-san doesnt seem to be doing that well for some reason. No, actually, if I think about it properly, ever since the meeting with Elder Roufa, she seems to be a little subdued. Be it Rafina-sama or Aima-san, did they end up eating something bad? However, if that were the case, then it is strange that theres nothing wrong with me. Especially since my stomach is supposed to be extremely sensitive and delicate

The condition of Mias stomach was exceedingly good again that day thanks to the yoghurt procured by Anne.

Well, setting that aside, if Aimas mood does not improve, I might end up getting depressed too.

So that was why Mia decided to bring up a topic that might improve Aimas mood.

Naturally, the topic was

Oh? I dont think thats the case at all.

Mia said in a matter-of-fact tone.

I mean, selling the horse is out of the question.

That was obvious to Mia.

I see. Certainly, selling the horse to get food would enable one to avert disaster for the moment. However, that would still be only a temporary solution, a makeshift measure. The money obtained from selling the horse would soon run out, and the food bought would wind up in the stomach. What do you do when your stomach is so full that you find it troublesome to move, and disaster strikes? You cant escape without a horse!

And therefore, Mia thought, The horse is a means of escape that should be kept at hand always until the very end.

Therefore, Mia said, The horse is the only one that can take you to the farthest of places. It would be a shame to let go of it. I think it is good to believe that at the time of death, your horse should be by your side.

Mias firm belief was that you should not give up trying to escape until the very last moment! That was something she would never waver on.

On hearing that, Aima opened her mouth wide in surprise, but soon burst into laughter.

Hehehe, thats right. That is absolutely right. That surprised me. Im impressed, Princess Mia understands horses even better than the people of the Equestrian Kingdom.

Aima chuckled for a moment and then shook her head.

As expected of someone I consider my friend.

Is that so? Im glad to hear you say that.

And Mia thought, Perhaps I was being evaluated, but I dont really understand. Well, if Aima-san has regained her good mood, then thats all that matters.

Whether or not he knew what was going on between the two of them, the horse that Mia was riding, East Wind a.k.a. Tofu, let out a soft yawn.

It was truly a peaceful scene.
