Chapter: 526

But when she managed to get on the horse, she just trembled while holding the reins.

Kaizen, who was watching quietly, approached her and held her hand.

“It’s okay, Astelle. It’s not scary. It’s okay.”

How comforting that warmth was.

He had that kind of affection sometimes, and because of that, she kept herself clinging to vain hopes.

Even though he looked indifferent and cold, in a corner of her heart, she thought that Kaizen might like her.

“Come on, hold on tight. Never let go of it.”

“Yes! I won’t let it go.”

Theor grabbed the reins with both hands.

The pony walked briskly across the lawn with Theor on.

“I want to go faster,” Theor said excitedly.

Kaizen smiled and helped him speed up. The fast-walking pony started to run slowly.

Theor was happy, but Astelle, who was watching, was feeling anxious.

“Your Majesty, it is dangerous.”

Astelle followed the two and stopped them.

Kaizen heard this and warned Theor, “It’s going too fast. You have to slow down again.”

But even before he finished speaking, a small squirrel stuck his head out between the grass.

The pony, which was running well, saw the squirrel and was startled and raised its front paws. Therefore, Theor missed the reins and fell from the saddle.

“Theor!”

The moment Astelle shouted, Kaizen hugged Theor and rolled on the ground.

Astelle ran to the two of them.

“Your Majesty!”

The servants and knights who were guarding the surroundings also ran in shock.

The two of them rolled on the grass.

Kaizen held Theor in his arms so that he was not hurt.
