People Aren't Meant to Be Fixed! (4 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 136

The gray-haired knight, speaking cautiously, claimed that Tommy had kicked open the stable door and bolted out, as if to prove his words were not fabricated. He added there were other witnesses besides themselves, and offered to summon them immediately if needed—I agreed.

“This is absurd.”

“It’s the truth, Your Highness. We were fleeing from the stable all the way here.”

But even if Tommy was the most well-behaved around me, he wasn’t so vicious or ill-tempered toward others that he’d behave like a rampaging beast. Frowning deeply, I tilted my head in confusion, and the two knights looked utterly lost.

The Imperial capital certainly wasn’t so short-staffed that royal knights had to take over stable chores.

Even if the stablehand were on leave, there would be others to fill in—so why had they personally taken charge of Tommy?

“But with so many staff in the capital, was it really necessary for you?”

Reading my skeptical expression, the knights turned awkward.

“Well… it’s just that…”

“They all got kicked by that horse and had to take medical leave.”

Since knights often fed and performed basic horse care themselves during wartime or long expeditions, those with experience were deemed the most suitable caretakers.
