Vetta's eyes widened at the unexpected reproach. She bowed her head immediately in apology. "I'm really sorry, your highness."

King Valendy's mouth pursed in a thin line, his wrickles standing out. He stared at King Lucien, "Which family is your mistress from, Lucien? That family didn't groom their daughter well in mannerism and behaviour."

It was Vetta's turn to be very uncomfortable. By 'family', the king means which privileged home did she come out from.

King Lucien just shrugged, saying nothing. Always a man of few words.

Of course, King Moreh was the exact opposite. "Naaah. She's from no family. Saw the lass during an introduction of the King's Slave which Cone hosted several years old. Was an unclothed slave serving drinks."

"Oh. I should have known." King Valendy dismissed her and sped up his horse.

Vetta felt so embarrassed, the ground might as well swallow her. Danika, on the other hand almost felt pity for her.

She forced herself not to feel that. The woman hated her, and she had purposefully tried to make the kings pick on her by speaking about her father.

The first lesson a lady of class learns from her governess is.... Never to speak when the kings are speaking, unless spoken to. Or commanded to.

After King Valendy sped up his horse, King Moreh joined too. And then King Lucien.

But something terrible and unexpected happened.

King Lucien saw the landmine but he saw it too late. His horse stepped into it and whined in pain. Like a typical spooked horse, he was uncontrollably.

He raised his hands high from the ground and lowered it. He raised it higher again, the horse needing to throw the weight from his back away.

King Lucien tried to control it but the horse stepped into another trap in it's agigation, and that was when he threw King Lucien from his back.

"Protect the king!" Chad shouted far behind them, already raising his horse closer to them.

But, it was too late.

The horse threw him and he had a very bad fall.

"Nooo....!" Danika found herself screaming because she saw it happen.

The King's big body caught the arrow that was triggered when his horse stepped at the second trap.

An arrow shot him. And he just had a bad fall.

Chad already jumped down from his horse and was raced so hard with a fastening speed that would have surprised Danika if she wasn't so panicked at the King's fall.

Within seconds, he raised passed them and reached the king. Danika already climbed down too and was fast on his heel.

King Lucien opened his eyes and groaned. Then, he closed his eyes again.

"W-Why is he u-unable to keep his e-eyes open?" Her voice trembled as she asked.

Chad reached for the arrow stuck on the King's left chest to drag it out, but his arm suddenly hanged on the air.
