Subtle Victory
‘Nightmare’ was a pure black stallion, teth in co, was basically equal The earl’s son had chosen hurdles, naturally he was planning to take advantage of ‘Dawn Mist’s’ tameness, and ith equestrian skills Plus hurdles were lein full armor becomes a safety measure From this, it seems that this ‘rich kid’ was pretty canny
The earl’s son was in exceptionally good condition today, in the first lap within 4over the first hurdle, and herthe time to spare to check his opponent’s perfore, he planned to look back, that hen he realized ‘Nightth behind, and in the moment that he lost his concentration, it seeain speed
The earl’s son increased his own speed a little nervously, regarding how his opponent was sticking so close to him like a burr, it seehtest bit distracted In the fifth lap, both horses were starting to sweat heavily, their nostrils flaring with heavy breathing
‘Dawn Mist’s’ endurance was not as great as ‘Night her to tire faster, her speed was starting to decrease A htmare’ took the lead
Luckily the goal was right in front, the earl’s son lost his patience, fiercely kicking his horse’s flank, ‘Dawn Mist’ reared in shock from the pain, but when she landed she didn’t want to continue, rather she tossed her body, throwing the earl’s son to the ground heavily At that htmare’ had already passed the past hurdle
“ ‘Dawn Mist’ is a very sensitive lady, you have to be ht jued white horse Then looking at the earl’s son covered in mud(1), he offered his hand, “I hope you are not injured Honestly, if you didn’t have that armor, you would have had a chance to win”
Although the knight spoke with respect, but to the earl’s son, he still sounded very sarcastic His face paled even ht faint on the spot or start crying, but he struggled up by himself, climbed back on the horse without a word, and started towards the audience stands
The knight grinned, saying as he stroked ‘Nightet our prize”
“As promised, the horse is yours, viscount” The earl’s son nodded to the elf, “An excellent victory”
The siren cheered running towards the clearing
The knight returned ‘Nightmare’s’ reins to its owner, he returned to the elf’s side
The earl’s son took the reins walked a few paces away, then he turned his horse around suddenly, saying to the elf
“Viscount, your knight… are you willing to transfer him over? Treatment and such will naturally not be a problem, any other additional clauses can be discussed as well”
“Sorry, he wasn’t hired,” the elf’s ears stood up clearly, he was silent for a while before replying, “not for sale”
The knight exaggeratedly bowed taking the elf’s hand, pulling it to his lips where he placed a light kiss
The earl’s son frown deepened when he saw this
“A sworn knight, that’s rare these days,” his tone was full of dissatisfaction, “but I still want to give you an advice, don’t be too indulgent on your servants To allow a peasant to imitate a nobleman’s mannerism That’s too –”
The elf interrupted his tirade sihts to do so”
“Ki…” the earl’s son’s eyes widened again
“Very sorry, I take back what I said” For some reason, after that short e amount
“Good afternoon, viscount – For ain”
“Did he… suddenly turn polite?” The elf watched the retreating back of the earl’s son quizzically
“Because… you created a very deepvery hard to hold back his laughter, “from now on it’s better if you didn’t tell people about the kiss of oath”
“Huh?”
“I want to ask just to endary Era, what does it generally mean?”
“Even though it’s a master and servant relationshi+p, it’s one of equality,” the elf reply was unhesitant, “so the knight has no need to obey the master and servant for so”
