Chapter 561
Mias Entrance : A Grand Foreshadowing?
On that day, the Southern Capital of the Equestrian Kingdom was enveloped in a quiet atmosphere of tension. It was inevitable that tensions would rise, as the lost Fire Clan members had been invited to a Special Council of Chiefs meeting.
Moreover, it seems that the Saint and the Princess of the Empire will also be present, you know?
The Princess of the Empire? Why would someone like her be there?
It seems she is friends with the daughter of the Fire Clan.
Since such rumours were floating in the air, it wasnt strange that the atmosphere was different from usual.
Incidentally, the person who leaked that information was none other than Chief Mayun of the Forest Clan. He was also the mastermind behind Mias dramatic entrance into the castle on horseback. It was all part of Mayuns elaborate scheme. The long-lost Fire Clan members were returning to the Equestrian Kingdom. The idea was to create a favourable and advantageous atmosphere, making it seem natural for a special event to occur, which they could then use to their advantage.
Now, as the group entered, they attracted the attention of everyone present. Leading them was Kouma, the Chief of the Wind Clan and the most senior of the Chiefs of the Twelve Clans.
The Wind Clan was known for being the most nomadic of the nomads. They strictly adhered to and continued the traditions passed down from their ancestor, Ka Seima, to this day.
They absolutely despised permanent settlements and chose to roam freely across the Great Plains. In times of peace, they were as gentle as a spring breeze, but if someone ever looked down on them, they would strike back with the ferocity of a blizzard. They truly lived up to the name of the Wind Clan.
People tilted their heads to look at the girl who had entered, escorted by the Elder Kouma.
She was dressed in unfamiliar foreign attire. Although, strictly speaking, it shouldnt have been that unfamiliar, since most of the residents of the Southern Capital were accustomed to seeing the people of the Remno Kingdom, including nobles.
So, it was not like they had never seen anything like it before.
The people were concerned about what the return of the lost clan, their siblings, would bring.
Meanwhile, as usual, Mia was preoccupied with her own thoughts.
Oh, thats good. Their attention is diverted. I feel a little relieved!
Wouldnt it be great to enter the castle on horseback? Mia had been persuaded by some smooth talk into riding a horse to make a grand entrance.
However, as she saw Elder Kouma riding ahead of her, Mia suddenly realised something.
Was it really a good idea to showcase my mediocre riding skills?
Despite her doubts in that moment, Mia certainly thought of herself as a skilled rider. Among the young ladies who attended Saint Noel and even throughout the Empire, there were few who could ride horses as well as Mia.
However, this was the Equestrian Kingdom, a country where everyone, young and old, men and women alike, rode horses. That fact became blatantly obvious to Mia as she saw Elder Kouma, who had volunteered to escort her.
In a country where even such an old man can easily ride a horse, my riding techniques are like that of a child. Ugh, I am so embarrassed that I got carried away.
Once she realised that, she couldnt help but worry, leading to a vicious cycle that caused her body to become even stiffer.
Mia was well aware that she was exposing her lack of skill, and when the attention had diverted from her, she felt as if her wish had been fulfilled.
Thus, despite being burdened by peoples speculations and expectations, Mia and her group successfully entered the Southern Capital.
However, at that moment, the people were still unaware that this entrance would later prove to be a grand foreshadowing of the Wisdom of the Empire.Vissit novelbin(.)com for new novels
