Chapter 560

Mias True Perspective on Horses: Princess Mia Enlightens the Ignorant

The Southern Capital of the Equestrian Kingdom was a simple yet fully-fledged town enclosed within castle walls.

The Equestrian Kingdom was a special country, established on the principle of equality among its twelve clans, with none considered superior or inferior. Therefore, while the city was not officially referred to as the Royal Capital, its scale was comparable to that of the capital of a small country.

Mia and her group were taking a break on the vast grasslands on the outskirts of the Southern Capital.

After a long ride on horseback, one might expect that Mia would be quite exhausted and completely drained of energy

Hmm. That was a good workout. It was somewhat refreshing.

That wasnt the case!

On the contrary, she seemed satisfied and was checking the fat on both her arms.

Oh? Thats odd. There doesnt seem to be much change.

Mia thought for a short while, then discarded the thought. Her instincts told her that not worrying about it would be good for the health of her mind.

Anyway, thats an incredible number of horses.

A large number of horses were gathered in a herd on the grassland, grazing leisurely.

Mia folded her arms in an attempt to resist the urge to start counting from the edge.

As expected of the Equestrian Kingdom. There are a lot of horses. I wonder if that herd is of wild horses. They are spectacular.

As Mia was muttering something like that, there was a sudden outburst of laughter.

Hahahaha. Those are mixed breeds.

When Mia looked in the direction of the source, she saw a man in his prime walking towards her. And Malong was walking next to him.

Did that mean that he was a person of the Equestrian Kingdom? Hmm, his hair is black like Malong-senpais, and he has the features of the people of the Equestrian Kingdom However, the clothes seem a little different. Its almost as if he was wearing clothes just like us.Explore new novels on novelbin(.)com

Supposing there was a Royal Guard who had sworn unwavering loyalty to Mia, would it be possible for him to carry her on his back and walk to the neighbouring country?

The answer was so obvious that there was no need to even think about it. It was impossible.

Even if it were Dion Alaia, the Strongest Knight of the Empire, it would not be possible. He couldnt do it.

Ah, come to think of it, there was that time while escaping from the forest when Dion-san carried me in his arms. If thats the case, then perhaps it might be possible for him to carry me under one arm and cross the border. Actually, I am surprisingly light

Well, in any case, jokes aside, for Mia, no matter their personality, horses were beings that deserved to be respected. However, the only reason Mia was able to realise this was because of her experience in the previous timeline. That was the reason why Mia admonished the ignorant man named Fuuma, who was the Chief of the Mountain Clan.

A horse is a horse. Horses have no ranks high or low.

Hahaha, that was remarkable. Lord Fuuma, youve been outdone.

A new person had appeared. When she looked in the direction of the voice, Mia saw an elderly person walking towards them. The old man, who had a serene smile on his face, bowed deeply once he came in front of Mia.

Welcome, Your Highness, Princess Mia Luna Tearmoon. Thank you for coming from so far away. My name is Fuu Kouma. I am in charge of the Meeting of Chiefs this time.

Thank you for your courteous words. I am Mia Luna Tearmoon.

The old man responded to Mia with a broad smile on his face as she lifted her riding pants a little and bowed.

Hohoho. Indeed, I can see the reason why Your Highness is called the Wisdom of the Empire. You truly have deep insight and understanding. I am impressed. By any chance, is that Your Highnesss horse?

In the direction that the old man pointed, stood East Wind, a.k.a. Tofu, the horse that Mia had ridden all the way there.

Yes, thats right.

I see. It is a horse that truly befits the words you spoke earlier. How about it? If it is alright with you, would you grant this old man the honour to act as your escort to the Southern Capital? I will be extremely happy if we can line up our bridles with our beloved brethren and ride together.

Is that so? I dont particularly mind.

Mia tilted her head slightly to look at the kindly old mans smile.

She did not notice that Malong had a displeased expression on his face as he observed the situation.
