Chapter 276
Princess Mia Cheers! ... for the Horse.
“Nope! All done! That was the last thing! “I’m done!” Mia yelled as she led Kuolan back to the stables in a rough way.
She used a cloth to wipe off as much as she could, but some of the stuff was still on her hair. Gross stuff...
“Ugh, I need to take a bath right now... But first, I need Malong to find me a different horse!”
She decided to go find Malong, so she went to the special stable where he was supposed to be. But when she got there, it was empty.
“Huh? “That’s weird...”
There were no people or horses there at all.
“This is the first time I’ve been here,” she said to herself as she looked around.
When she got closer to the room, she saw that she was wrong. There was a horse in there that was out of sight. At the back of the building, it stood still.
“Oh my, what a beautiful horse...”
Its beauty drew her in. Its body was covered in pure white hair, and it had the air of a queen. It looked right at her when it turned around.
“You’re...”
“That’s Kayou. “Like Kuolan, she’s a moonhare.”
Malong came up behind her with a huge pitchfork, which suggested that he had been moving hay for the horses while he was gone.
“A moonhare... Oh, yes, I do remember you saying, ‘There’s a horse that can’t be ridden because it’s about to give birth.’”
The horse’s body did look rounder than usual when you looked at it more closely.Thê source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))
“She is so pretty...”
“Sorry, Malong, but I’d like to help you take care of this horse. Would that be all right?”
“Hm? I don’t know, sure I guess? About what kind of help are we talking?”
“Stuff like cleaning up the stable and washing the horse so she stays clean, among other things.”
Even though Mia and her friends were in the horsemanship club, they did not take care of the horses. Staff at the academy took care of that. Since they came from a good family, they only had to worry about things that fit their status, like getting better at riding.
Malong, who was from the Equestrian Kingdom, thought that taking care of horses was an important part of being a good horseman. This way of thinking had rubbed off on Abel, who often helped with the less important parts of the experience, like cleaning the stable. However, he was the exception, not the rule.
The fact that the princess of a powerful empire like Tearmoon then asked to do the same was not just unusual; it was unthinkable. So, Malong was completely caught off guard by the question, and all he could do was stare at it with his mouth wide open.
“Of course,” Mia added, “within reason.”
“I’ll try to help. I don’t know if I can get up so early every day, but you look like you need help here, so... I mean, it’s a hard thing to do, right? Having a baby?”
Self-interest was a big part of why she did what she did, but it wasn’t the only thing that drove her. Mia had been openly curious about how those big birds brought babies to people’s houses until not too long ago.
She knew more about the real world now that she didn’t know such nonsense and had added real facts to her knowledge. It was a very important question for her, since the history book said she would have to have eight children.
When she innocently asked Chloe where babies came from, her well-read friend gave her a long, silent stare and then gave her a book without saying a word. When asked what it was about, she said, “It’s all explained in there. Just...don’t be too surprised.”
Mia was a little scared by this strange order, so she carefully opened the book and read the truth. She now knew that giving birth was a very hard thing to do.
Am I going to be all right? E-Eight kids?
Her eyes went to Kayou’s swollen stomach.
She gave it a gentle rub.
“You can do it. I want the best for you. I hope you have a wonderful child.”
She smiled at the horse and felt like she had a strange connection to it.
