Forget My Husband, I’ll Go Make Money

ing to a new carriage.
But will that even go well?”

The young miss said with a twisted smile.

“Why wouldn’t it? There should be many other ceremonial carriages, even though they might be inferior to the golden carriage.
Those carriages are lovely.”

Dionna asked like someone with no bad intention at all.

“Well, there is enough carriages.
But I don’t think the Queen will sit still.
She will delay as much as possible and only send it after His Majesty steps forth.”

The young miss chuckled.

“By that time, won’t all the spectators have shriveled away? Talk less of the bride and groom who will be standing idly in the middle of the parade path.”

That was enough to cool the hearts of the people who were joyfully celebrating this marriage.

“Who knows, people might even leave halfway.
That would be a sight to see.”

The young miss giggled.

Dionna looked at the young miss and an awkward smile appeared on her face but she didn’t say anything to stop her.

She only covered her mouth, looking concerned.

Just imagining what the young miss said made her want to gloat.
She regretted not being able to see it in person.

‘Let’s see how you get through this humiliation.’

A twisted smile sprung onto her lips which was hidden under her hand.

Piiiii!

The sound was too sharp for a whistle.

Aristine tilted her head at that high-pitched sound.

‘Why whistle all of a sudden?’

It sounded like he was calling for something.

‘Ah, could it be…’

The moment she thought that, the ground rumbled.
After a few moments, she could hear the sound of horse hooves, then she saw something running towards them.

‘…A demonic beast?’

Aristine was startled and clung tightly to Tarkan’s neck.
But soon, she realized she was mistaken when she saw Tarkan’s casualness and the cheering of the people around.

The true identity of this ‘demonic beast’ was a black horse.

It looked like a demonic beast from a distance because of the body armor that it was wearing and how huge it was. [1]

‘The horse armor in Silvanus is so different that I had no idea…’

The Silvanus Empire used silver horse armor that covered the entire horse’s body.
In contrast, the Irugo Kingdom used metal and hides of demonic beasts to protect the vital areas.
Mobility in the plains was given the highest priority.

Because of the gorgeous armor laid on its forehead and the huge carved horns hanging on either side of its head, it looked more like an elegant and dangerous high-level beast than a horse.

Moreover, it was a huge warhorse with an imposing presence that could be felt from far away so Aristine’s misunderstanding was not unreasonable.

‘I think its legs alone are as tall as me.’

It looked like a completely different breed from Silvanus horses.

“So you mean…?”

“Yes.”

There was pride and affection in Tarkan’s eyes as he looked at the horse.

Aristine immediately understood Tarkan’s intentions.

Obviously, if he could call a horse like this without the Queen’s obstruction, then riding a horse was the best option.

But there was a problem.

“I…don’t know how to ride a horse.” (Aristine)

Tarkan was taken aback and turned to look at Aristine.

He wondered how she didn’t know that either then he belatedly remembered that she had been confined.
She didn’t receive proper education even though she was a princess.

That said, it didn’t really matter.

“I know.”

Since he was by her side.

Tarkan hugged Aristine tight with one arm and leaped onto the horse with his other hand.
As he jumped using his body’s flexibility, the cloak affixed to only one of his shoulders fluttered heavily.

Although it should have been surprised by its master’s rough mounting, the horse remained standing still.

Aristine sat on top of the horse and looked down with amazement.

‘It’s so high!’

Her view was much higher than when she rode the carriage.

However, she wasn’t afraid of falling.
Because Tarkan was holding her from behind.

 

 

Translator’s Corner:

[1] I should translate ‘body armor’ to ‘barding’ but I feel like most ppl will draw a blank when they see the word
