Tame or Be Captured (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 042
Asha flustered and quickly offered an excuse.
“Shephy is quite shy around strangers.”
“…A horse that’s shy?”
When he glanced at the servant in charge of the horse, the servant immediately bowed his head and replied.
“…It’s true, Your Majesty. Even the servants aren’t allowed to touch him.”
From struggling to restrain the stubborn horse from bolting off on its own, sweat had lightly gathered on his forehead.
Karaf opened his mouth to say something but stopped, instead staring fixedly at the horse.
Matching his gaze as if in a staring contest, Jackal glared back with icy blue eyes into his scarlet ones.
Seeing the horse’s proud, almost arrogant look—as if fully aware of its own noble status—Karaf let out a mocking snort.
He had gone through the trouble of arranging a private date just to win Asha’s favor, yet this ungrateful beast was already spoiling his mood.
Normally, he would have drawn his sword right then and there to teach such an ill-mannered horse a lesson, but for Asha’s sake, he decided to swallow his temper this once.
“Remarkable—you tamed such a wild horse.”
“Your praise is too kind, Your Majesty.”
When Asha politely bowed, holding the hem of her dress, Karaf’s expression soured slightly at her emphasis on the word “wild.”
‘I wasn’t exactly complimenting it…’

Not practically, it is a form of torture. Jackel didn’t jump into the water on his own while tied to the boulder.

What terrible phrasing. ‘He couldn’t possibly take her…’ She is the empress of the empire, Jackel needs to get with the program. She has shown herself to be stronger and more resilient than anyone else in this novel.
