But unlike him, the horse smelled better. He sat behind me and pulled the strings of the horse. I have no choice but to clench his forearms due to the sudden movement. The horse ran like lightning. This is not the first time I have ridden a horse, but that was very slow compared to this pace. The horse turned several times on the tents, which caused chaos to the people.

Cayden chimed in, still sticking with his plan. Stifling a laugh, Gabriella waved her son's hand. “But it is indeed dangerous, Little Prince. You can meet wild horses or bad people.” "Is it a problem if we meet a wild horse? Isn't the horse a good animal?

I am an Anggitay; half woman, half horse. My blessing to you is a horse's stamina and speed. Who will accept this blessing?" she continued. Without a second thought, I shoved Lowan in front of her.
