Chapter 972 - Rose Of Medion (2) (1/2)

This morning, it was really sunny, and Rose woke up very early. The school would start at 9 am, but she decided to take a walk first and explore her surroundings.

As usual, she wore a man's shirt with pants and tied her long hair carelessly with a string. Rose looked like a young man. Her slender body climbed down the tree from her bedroom window and landed on the ground.

Ahh... this place was beautiful! It was located in the countryside and close to several scenic villages.

Rose walked around and checked the stable. There, she found beautiful horses of excellent quality. She immediately remembered Julian, her beloved horse that she had gifted to Leon.

She could imagine, every day, Leon must be riding Julian for a walk to the hills of Medion to get rid of his loneliness. Uff.. she missed them both already so badly.

”Sst… dear beautiful horse… Please accompany me for a walk, okay?” Rose whispered to a valiant-looking black horse with a beautiful long mane.

Slowly she removed the horse from the stable and rode without a saddle. The small hill behind St. John Academy was so beautiful. She could see the red sun rising from behind it.

Hmm… Rose inhaled the morning air deeply and filled her lungs. The air was not as good as in Medion, but that was to be expected. No place was better than Medion.

However, she felt grateful that she was not sent to a boarding school in a big city. It must suck big time compared to this school.

Oops, Rose. That is so cruel… You can't harm these beautiful horses. They are innocent, she scolded herself.

Hmm ... maybe, she could just be a lazy student and skip clasess… She would be happy to get expelled from school and sent back to Medion.

Ah .. if she only skipped classes, she would probably get some punishment but it wouldn't be enough to get her kicked out of school.

Oops, why is it so hard to get expelled??

While Rose was pondering the best way to make herself expelled from school, she suddenly heard someone shout at her, followed by a coughing sound.

”Heyyy !!”

Rose turned and found a young man who was in a hurry to chase her with a horse. His hair was thick brown, looking disheveled. He was wearing a white satin shirt that was blowing in the wind.

The man shouted at Rose again, ”Stop right there..! You stole my horse ..!”

Rose glanced at the nice horse she was riding and then stayed still, waiting for her pursuer to arrive. Upon reaching near Rose, the young man immediately jumped down from his horse.

”Hey… that's my horse ..! You are not allowed to ride it…” he said in an annoyed tone.

Rose raised her face with indifference. ”I think these horses belong to the school. How can you claim ownership to them?”

”They do belong to the school, but I was the one to tame it. Zii was almost euthanized because she was so wild. Since then, the school gave it to me. So, it's mine now.”

”If I was here first, I am sure I would have been the one to tame it. I am also an expert in taming wild horses. I have a lot of horses…” Rose replied with a snort. She was so proud of her skills with horses.

She was so satisfied to see the young man's face flushed with anger. She decided to taunt him further.

”Let's do it this way. We can determine who can have this horse by comparing our abilities. The best person will have the right to own Zii.”

”Okay!” said the young man. ”Peter Wellington never lose a race to anyone ...”

”So do I! Let's race to the hill over there. The first one to come back here and take this scarf from the tree wins!”

”Good. I will definitely beat you. Let's start now.”

Rose tied her scarf to a tree branch. Peter nodded impatiently.

”Heaa .. !! Hyaah ..!”

Like two shadows, brown and black, the horses galloped their way up the hill.

Rose was really happy. In her mind, she was racing with Julian and Leon was riding another horse. The two often raced since childhood. So, Rose was no stranger to this thing.

With full concentration, she continued to push Zii to run faster and faster.
