And the cavalry demonstration began with a light trot.
Horseback riding is an important exercise that involves gradually increasing the level and exploring each other’s movements through communication between the horse and the rider.
However, as they had selectively chosen highly intelligent horses, and the riders were not novices having practiced for just a day or two, they quickly grasped each other’s personalities, habits, and even conditions.
People riding horses began to think that they could now increase the speed.
Everyone wanted to gallop joyfully, but…
The most important figure showed no sign of accelerating! If he didn’t run, no one else could.
“Your Majesty.”
Liz felt a dissatisfied gaze pressing against her back and spoke to Hersis.
“Can’t you speed up a bit now? Everyone wants that.”
“Don’t worry about it. Whether I run or not.”
‘How can I not worry? My back is itching…’
Liz knew that he wasn’t increasing the speed because of her.
So, she thought about running with others but gave up because it didn’t feel right.
There was no reason. It was just a feeling that something inside her was tightly holding her feet, preventing her from urging him.
“Herr.”
Hersis’s expression stiffened at Liz’s affectionate call.
He knew that Liz calling him in such a way was part of her preparation to mobilize his will. And he also knew that if she insisted and was stubborn, she usually won.
“Just let me go and run with those people.”
“I thought you didn’t want to.”
“It’s not that I don’t want to.”
“…….”
Hersis couldn’t say anything.
Because what she said was true. He was suppressing his instinct to run inside to match Liz’s assistance.
“Go. Show off your horseback riding skills to your heart’s content and come back.”
“I said that too. Even without that, I…”
“I know. You have the ability. But proving your ability usually takes a few years, but this will be over in just a few hours, no, a few minutes. How simple and efficient is that? Right?”
“…….”
Ishar seemed to know that Hersis was shaking even though he only saw his back.
‘When I say that, he doesn’t even listen with his ears behind.’
Still, his lord didn’t seem bothered at all. Rather, he looked back at the empress.
Realizing that to convince someone, you had to touch on such subtle points, Liz…
“So, hurry up and run. Quickly.”
At Liz’s words, Hersis sighed as if he could no longer deceive himself.
“Okay, then I’ll take you to the horse stable.”
“W, why do you need to take me? I can go by myself.”
Liz hurriedly protested as Hersis tried to turn his horse. Ishar supported her argument.
“Listen to the words of Her Majesty the Empress. The stable is right in front of us. Instead, making people wait by pretending to escort you makes things more difficult for Her Majesty the Empress.”
Hersis turned back for a moment.
Beyond the dozens of nobles looking at him with pitiful eyes, the cream-colored stable roof was visible.
The stable was so close that something unusual happening in the middle of the return would be strange.
“Hurry back, Herr. I’ll be waiting quietly.”
Liz gently grabbed Hersis’s arm and said. It was a word that put an end to Hersis’s hesitation.
“Just count to twenty.”
Hersis said.
“I’ll be back in there.”
Liz smiled brightly and nodded.
“Win for sure.”
“That’s a given.”
Liz chuckled at his not unpleasant arrogance.
Standing there, Liz watched Hersis vigorously swing the reins and urge the horse on.
He rushed out like lightning, suppressing the instinct to run with superhuman patience.
Then, the descendants of conquerors who had been restraining their instincts to run wild began to vent their desires freely.
Looking at the horses and riders running like a pack around her, Liz muttered quietly.
“One, two…”
People shrank to the point where they could only be seen with squinted eyes.
“Three…”
Liz turned her horse’s head. And she slowly urged the horse to go back to the stable.
“Four… Five… Six… Seven…”
It was when she was about to count seven.
“…!”
Suddenly, the horse turned right.
Then, it casually entered the forest path. It all happened before counting even reached ten.
The return point was right in front.
It was an overwhelmingly overwhelming sprint that no one could catch up with. No one could even hear the sound of hooves to know how far behind they were.
“There’s not much difference between running alone and with others.”
Hersis’s lips tilted slightly.
Descendants of conquerors, descendants of conquerors, and this is all they’ve got. He felt disappointment.
He wondered if he should have invited his uncle; at least, it wouldn’t have been so boring…
That’s when.
A ringing, unpleasant noise in his ears, Hersis stopped the horse.
Due to the headache accompanying the tinnitus, he pressed one side of his temple with his fingertip and frowned.
“What’s wrong, Your Majesty?”
Ishar, who was closest to him, stopped when he noticed his lord.
“I have a headache for a moment.”
“A headache?”
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
