If he remembered correctly, both were men from Cassian’s ranks. They had earned their place in real campaigns, veterans who had taken more lives on the battlefield than most people had ever taken livestock to the butcher.

He considered it for a moment, then met Elowen’s hopeful gaze.

She truly wanted to go. That much was obvious.

Theodric let out a slow breath and relented. “You are not to get too close. Not one step closer than necessary. If anything looks wrong, you pull back immediately. Do you understand?”

He had finally agreed.

Elowen smiled brightly. “Thank you, Your Majesty.”

She turned and walked out.

At that moment, Daphne was sprawled across the horse’s back, clinging desperately to its neck, crying and screaming.

“What are you all staring at? Save me. Save me.

“I am the future Crown Princess.

“If anything happens to me, you’ll all answer for it.”

The grooms and trainers tried again and again to get near, but the blood-bred stallion kicked them away each time.

Daphne was on the verge of despair.

“You wretched beast. Why weren’t you poisoned earlier?”

Her voice was hoarse as she hurled vicious curses.

Her strength was almost gone. A bitter thought rose in her mind. Am I really going to die here today? And in such a humiliating way?

Just then, a clear female voice rang out, calm and steady. “Ember.”

The sound cut cleanly through the chaos, and Ember, which had been thrashing seconds. earlier, went still.

The trainer reacted quickly and rushed forward helping the limp Daphne down from the horse.

Daphne was dizzy, her head spinning, her legs completely weak.

One thought echoed in her mind.

She’s safe. Who saves her?

She forced herself to turn around. And froze.

Elowen stood there with a faint smile, reaching out to stroke Ember’s mane, speaking to it softly.

من

The scene slowly overlapped with a memory from years ago, when Daphne had been kicked aside and cried, and Elowen had come over to comfort her in that same quiet way.

Something fierce and endless burst from Daphne’s heart.

Today is supposed to be my moment. How does it turn into this? It’s Elowen. It’s always Elowen. She’s nothing but bad luck for me.

Sensing the stare, Elowen tilted her head and locked at Daphne.

She gave a small smile. “You’re welcome.”

Daphne wanted to rush over and tear that hypocritical smile off her face.

But the moment she stepped forward, Ember stepped forward as well, blocking her path with clear warning.

Remembering what had just happened, Daphne’s legs trembled. She could only retreat silently.

The matter of taming the horse finally came to an end.

After all that chaos, Ember was tired too. Elowen led it back to the stable to rest.

She set out water and fresh hay carefully, and she deliberately left one shadow guard stationed nearby to ensure no more accidents would happen.

Just as she was about to leave, Ember bit down on the hem of her skirt.

Elowen turned back. The horse tugged her gently toward itself.

Elowen laughed and patted its head. “I still have things to take care of. Be good. When I’m done, I’ll come back for you.”

Ember looked at her as if asking, “Really?”

Elowen leaned her forehead against its face, serious and sincere. “Really. Trust me.”

Daphne was helped away to rest.
