Mias Strategy : The Pegasus Princess in the Match-up

In a high-risk, winner-take-all gamble, the winner is greatly rewarded while the loser bears all the risk. This was not how Mia liked things.

The moment Aima decided to accept the challenge, there was no way to stop the situation. In that case, what was the best thing to do?

After a flash of inspiration, Mia made the decision to participate in the Horse Match-up herself.

Mia spoke proudly, brimming with confidence as if she had a solid chance of victory.

However, her core idea was the spirit of Isnt it fine even if I lose?Nêww chapters will be fully updated at (n)ov(e)l/bin(.)com

Even Mia was not so reckless as to think she could compete with someone from the Equestrian Kingdom in a horse riding event and win.

Even if I worked hard at horse riding for about a year, it would still be difficult for me. Mia thought rather recklessly.

However, she did not believe she could win. In that case, what exactly was Mia aiming for? The goal was losing under the best possible conditions.

Fortunately, the food aid itself was guaranteed. Elder Kouma and the others deemed it to be natural. In that case, it should be fine to be satisfied with that. I do feel sorry for Chief Mayun, but regarding the issue of the return of the Fire Clan to the Equestrian Kingdom, we have no choice but to let time resolve that.

If Mia lost, the only remaining problem would be that the horse she rode would be taken away by Fuuma. Actually, Mia wasnt particularly worried about that because Kouma had said, The loser, if asked, must give up their horse to the winner.

It seems like they are looking down on East Wind, a.k.a. Tofu. So, if they end up asking for my horse, it would be nothing more than an act of petty revenge.

Indeed, that would mean they had no honour. Based on his actions towards the Fire Clan, Fuuma was already in a bad spot reputation-wise. By winning the Horse Match-up, he could prove his innocence. That would be a fair reward for his victory. But if he chose to take the opponents horse in addition to that, what about that? Not because he actually wanted the horse, but as a form of harassment. How would that look in the eyes of the other Chiefs?

Moreover, the fact that Im not a member of the Equestrian Kingdom but a princess from another country should work to my advantage in this case.

No matter how well Mia could ride a horse, it was only good enough for a princess of a foreign country. Compared to people of the Equestrian Kingdom, who had been riding horses ever since they were born, it was obvious that she would be no match! Thats why it was good!

I see. The truth of your point will be revealed in the Horse Match-up.

What do you think? It might be evident even without asking God.

With an extremely high possibility that Mia would lose, she had no choice but to try and make her point.

In any case, I pray this reunion will be good for the sake of the Equestrian Kingdom.

Indeed. I sincerely wish for that.

Nodding deeply, Kouma turned his attention to Fuuma, the head of the Mountain Clan.

However, Lord Fuuma, you cannot lose. You must prepare the best horse befitting the Equestrian Kingdom.

Huh? Ah, no, but, uh, um, well. I cant do something so immature. I still dont think it is a good idea to participate in the Match-up. But if we prepare the best horse, theres no chance for Princess Mia to win. The Princess said that there was no ranking for horses, so Im sure shell ride her own horse, right? Then we should also match that

Fuuma seemed reluctant, which was quite natural. After all, even if he won, there was nothing to be gained. So there was no need to send out the best horse. However,

What are you talking about? Its only natural to prepare the best horse for a Sacred Horse Match-up. If youre the Chief of one of the Twelve Clans of the Equestrian Kingdom, its only right that you prepare a horse worthy of your name.

Upon hearing Koumas words, the other Clan Chiefs agreed. Even though she was the Princess of the Powerful Empire and could ride a horse to some extent, it could not be allowed for a person from the Equestrian Kingdom to lose to her. It was only natural to prepare the best horse to guarantee a victory. At the same time, it was also meant to be a way to discipline Fuuma. After all, not only did he not help his Clan brothers in their time of need, but he also took advantage of their desperation to buy their sheep. The Chiefs believed that such an unscrupulous person should be punished. Thats why Kouma would not let Fuuma cut any corners. It was a warning that he would have to bring out his precious horse and participate properly in the Match-up.

However, it would certainly be immature for you, a Clan Chief, to deal with a Princess who is not even a member of the Equestrian Kingdom. I believe you have a daughter around the same age as the Princess. I think it would be a good idea to make your daughter the rider. Dont you agree?

Koumas intention was to prepare the best horse but offer the Princess a handicap in the form of a young rider as her opponent.

You mean Xiaolei? Nobut

Fuuma seemed to mutter some kind of complaint in response. However, he nodded his head in agreement, realising that he had no choice. Since he had committed an act of grave injustice against the Fire Clan, his options were limited.

And thus, the participation of Mia Luna Tearmoon, who would later be known as the Pegasus Princess, in the Sacred Horse Match-up was decided.
