People Aren't Meant to Be Fixed! (4 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 89

No matter how much they raised him that way, I’d thought that once Beris and Ronowe grew up, they’d naturally favor the child they’d truly borne from their own flesh—but Carlisle was already thirteen, and the fact that they were teaching him horseback riding first, without any discrimination, felt genuinely heartfelt.

Then again, horsemanship was a basic requirement for becoming a knight; if he didn’t learn it at his current age, passing the knighthood exam would be difficult. It seemed the Marquess had even considered that point and decided to start his lessons now.

“Carlisle oppa will become the strongest knight in the world!”

A few years from now, when I turned fifteen or older, I’d be able to call Ronowe and Beris and ride together for fun.

I was already tired of drawing, reading, and playing with toys all the time—I wanted to grow up quickly so my range of activities could expand.

“You’d better be prepared—they won’t go easy on you just because you’re friends.”

Besides, if I ever ended up racing them on horseback, I’d surely take first place! Whether as Emperor in my past life or as a knight even before that, I’d always been an exceptional rider.
