Chapter 400. Ride All The Way
"You want to ride all the way to the Nolands by yourself!" Malcolm yelled in horror, attracting the attention of the rest of the guards.
Mauve glared at him, "You don’t have to yell it so loudly."
They were in the corner of the field, she had pulled him out of the training grounds on the basis that she needed to talk to him.
He had seemed happy to find out the King had removed the restriction and had not objected when she said she would be leaving tomorrow.
However, his reaction to finding out she wanted to ride by herself was a bit over the top and unnecessary. She had thought he would be in agreement.
"Why?" He asked with a concerned expression. That’s at least a full week of riding. You just started, I doubt you would bake to keep up."
Mauve glared at him. "Would you stop underestimating me so much?"
"I am not underestimating what you can do," he said with a serious expression. "I am just concerned. The journey is bound to take a toll on you. It would be better to spend it in a carriage."
"Even though riding a horse would be faster."
Malcolm placed his hand on his head, "You have only ridden one horse and that type of horse isn’t suited for long travels. You won’t be able to keep up with another horse."
Mauve didn’t even try to hide her disappointment. "I know Sir Galath used one horse for most of my training but it doesn’t mean I rode just one horse. Contrary to what you think, I did ride Sir Galath’s horse and I rode on it for at least an hour. I like to think I should be able to handle the horses I have to use on this trip. As long as I don’t have to break them in myself, I am sure I would be fine."
