Chapter 74 *** Sponsored chapter by Virginie. Thank you ❤️ (½) **** "You're telling me she’s not hurt?" "Yes, sir.” Rosi nodded eagerly. "The hut keeper brought a doctor. Other than a slightly sprained ankle, she’s fine, and Master Theodore himself, Rothesandra, went to the Shore...he’ll be at the stadium in time for the afternoon, so you have nothing to worry about." "I see." Despite his answer, Edwin still looked stunned. "You should get some rest too, Master, the match is coming...

Chapter 73 *** Sponsored chapter by Cebiyb. Thank you ❤️ (2/2) *** The outbursts of crying gradually subsided into sobs, and a little more time passed before they stopped altogether. Her frozen body was melting like wax. The ear-pounding heartbeat and regular shaking also contributed to the rapid thaw. Theodore was a very good rider, as he had been on the day of the torrential downpour. He was steady on steep paths and didn't falter over uneven stones. Dana felt her eyelids grow unbearably...

Chapter 72 *** ***The next two chapters are sponsored by Cebiyb. Thank you ❤️ (½) *** The monster that opened its mouth was a small swamp. It was only waist-deep, but the muddy bottom sucked her in like a quagmire. Dana lost her balance completely and fell face first into the water. Luckily, she found a tree root and grabbed onto it. After barely crawling out like a four-legged beast and feeling the dry soil against her body, she gasped for air and fell flat on her face. Tears stung her...

Chapter 71 **** Where were the refreshingly fragrant lime trees? The smell of damp grass, the sound of a refreshing waterfall, all gone. The dark forest, without even moonlight, was a horror of the nineteenth century. "Rothesandra...." Dana reached out and touched the beast's back. It was a small comfort that it followed her obediently, still clinging to the reins. "I'd be a lot less scared if I were riding you." But Rothesandra wouldn't let go of its back that easily. Dana stretched her arms...

Chapter 70 *** It must have been the scattered rain of the previous morning. The forest path was damp and the hoof prints were clear. Dana was able to spot Rothesandra not long after entering the forest. At first, she was overjoyed and trotted over to the horse. But at the slightest rustle, it was startled and took off running. Dana didn't give up and continued to chase after the horse, deliberately stepping only on soft, leafless soil because she didn't want to repeat the same mistake....

Chapter 69 *** "Dana." Liana led Dana to a quiet place. "...I’m in trouble." Dana gasped as she reached for the painkillers. In a shaky voice, Liana explained what had happened. Unlike her friends, she was pale and exhausted. "Rothesandra... Brother Theodore... most... favorite horse... ...... ... Why on earth did I ask to borrow it...." Dana noticed that the young woman's hands were shaking. "Lady, calm down." "I was going to tie the reins, as soon as I got off the horse." "It's no big deal,...

Chapter 68 *** A gazebo was visible in the distance. Liana realized it was the first resting place. As she approached, she saw the matting, as expected. It must have been the Duchess's idea to decorate each pillar with ribbons and reeds. "Shall we take a break?" Liana asked, and everyone nodded and dismounted. The maids helped the young ladies dismount the horses and offered them water. It was their job to tend to their masters and their horses. But Liana was alone. She could have done the...

Chapter 67 *** ***Virginie sponsored the next five chapters. Thank you so much ❤️. Please give Virginie a shout out too! (1/5) *** Early in the morning, when the clouds were low, the young ladies gathered at the stables, each with a handmaiden. They were all decked out in colorful hats and gloves, and their horses were groomed for competition. Large bags were strapped to their saddles, filled with a change of clothes, water, snacks, and first aid supplies. Dana was the first to emerge,...

Chapter 66 *** Her legs were shaking so badly that she could hardly walk, but Dana kept up with the Lady. Her mouth was working hard to describe what had happened at the falls. "...I was trying to hold Master Marcus's hand, and he...he... He was really frightened." "..." "I tried to swim out on my own, but... Master Edwin... helped me." Her voice was shaking violently, and she knew how strange she must look. But her body was completely out of control. "I don't know why Master Marcus gets so...

Chapter 65 *** I must stop him at all cost! The moment Tilly hurriedly grabbed the sleeve of the young master who was passing by and fuming and hit his shoulder, "What are you doing!" A shout made everyone stop dead in their tracks, and dozens of pairs of eyes turned toward the person at once. "Edwin!" "Brother!" Edwin didn't make eye contact with any of the people who greeted him, but walked toward Marcus. The young men who had barricaded Marcus backed away hesitantly, and they were within...
