Chapter 51: Stupid Horses

For a brief moment, the horse halted its hoofing and glanced at Kaisen's outstretched arm, just a few feet away from its snout.

Sable raised her eyebrows in approval, nodding her head in impressed acknowledgment.

Meanwhile, Llyod had dusted himself off and joined Alice, observing the scene unfold with interest.

"That's a good approach. Did you see that, Llyod-san and Alice-san?"

Sable advised, her tone firm yet encouraging.

"When approaching a horse, talk to it and calm it down. Make it think you're its friend. And Kaisen-kun is doing perfectly fine."

The duo nodded in agreement as they watched Kaisen's progress.

Meanwhile, Kaisen was sweating profusely, feeling the horse's breath on his hand. He could almost feel the warmth of its snout now.

Then, after a tense pause, the horse took a step forward, causing Kaisen's heart to leap with excitement.

"Yeeess... Just like that. Come to papa, girl."

Kaisen cooed, his voice trembling with nerves.

"The horse is giving in now. Slowly put your hand on its nose and gently stroke its--"

Sable's advice was abruptly cut off by the horse, which promptly kicked Kaisen straight in the family jewels.

Kaisen's eyes widened in shock as he doubled over in pain, his voice erupting into a high-pitched squeal of agony.

The horse snorted triumphantly, as if to say, "Not today, buddy."

"Oh."

Maximus muttered, wincing sympathetically as he watched Kaisen rolling around in the mud, clutching his balls and screaming in agony.

Meanwhile, Llyod suddenly grabbed his own balls, his face contorted in pain as if he could feel Kaisen's agony as well.

"Well, that's a first. Never seen a horse go for a guy's nuts before."

Maximus remarked, his moustache twirling in amusement.

Alice immediately rushed to Kaisen's side, a mixture of concern and suppressed laughter on her face.

She began to heal him with her magic, but deliberately avoided his groin area—tempted though she was—since there were people nearby.

Instead, she focused on his chest, sending golden light coursing through his entire body.

"Damned bloody horse! My poor balls!"

Kaisen howled in agony, tears streaming down his face.

After a moment, he managed to stand up again, albeit gingerly, now that his balls were healed.

Glaring at the black horse, which seemed to be laughing with its incessant neighing, Kaisen's determination hardened.

Joining Llyod, they both shot fierce glares at the horses, ready to assert their dominance once and for all.

It was kind of funny, but also kind of mesmerizing in a weird way.

'Noice. Noice.'

He lazily admired the heavenly scenery around him, lost in thought.

But in the blink of an eye, he found himself airborne, with the horse's hooves squarely landing on his buttocks.

"Fuck these horses!"

He cursed, punching the air.

Finally, Llyod succeeded in riding his horse, albeit slowly.

After a few hours of practice, Maximus announced that it was time to go.

Kaisen and Llyod were sweaty and exhausted from their efforts, while Alice seemed to radiate with energy, shining like the morning sun.

They were supposed to leave that day, but it seemed like that wasn't going to happen at all.

The thought of having to face the queen and the princess after already saying goodbye was embarrassing enough.

'Especially that stupid princess. She's going to mock me like a bitch.'

"If it weren't for the boys, we would've left long ago and reached Hero Square by now. But, well..."

Sable trailed off, a mischievous glint in her eyes as she glanced at Kaisen.

She and her fiancé had removed their cloaks and now were dressed in civilian attire, as if they wanted to blend in with the crowd.

Sable let out a giggle as they walked through the palace corridors.

"I hope you're not that incompetent in matters of the bedroom."

She added playfully, her tone teasing.

Maximus wore light green pants paired with a neatly tucked-in brown shirt.

However, Sable's attire commanded attention.

She wore a tight, white gown that clung to her curves like a second skin.

The gown started just above her breasts, teasing a hint of cleavage before skimming down her entire body.

Kaisen couldn't help but notice the way the fabric hugged her every curve, accentuating her figure.

He found it difficult to tear his gaze away, especially as he couldn't help but notice the subtle bounce of her breasts with each step she took.

Alice couldn't help but giggle at Sable's playful comment, causing Llyod to shyly look away with a blush creeping up his cheeks.

Meanwhile, Kaisen shot Alice a look that seemed to say, "Just you wait until I get you alone."

Alice gulped nervously and quickly averted her gaze, feeling the intensity of Kaisen's stare.

The brief exchange didn't go unnoticed by Sable, whose keen eyes missed nothing.
