Turns Out, I’m a Real Catch

Pressing my heel into the stirrup, I climbed up onto the horse’s back. After giving her a light kick, the black mare set off in good spirits.

“Lady Elizabeth, next time, please at least give me a day’s notice.” The head maid walked next to my horse, holding my gaze as she scolded me.

All I could do was give her a wry smile in return. “Right. Sorry.”

We’d won a glorious victory at the Exhibition Match the other day, and Gried had kept his promise. My request? To accompany the knights on their patrol.

I felt I’d grown stronger from my experience as an assistant instructor at the training grounds. I’d learned a lot from teaching the cadets, and sparring with the instructors had given me a wider arsenal of options for taking down an opponent. I’d also gained a lot more experience in taking on multiple foes at once.

But even with all these new learning opportunities, I made sure I didn’t slack off on my usual training. I felt like I’d finally been putting on some real muscle lately. My abs were shredded, and I looked jacked.

There was still something crucial missing, though: I hadn’t yet had the opportunity to deal with an unexpected emergency.

There would be plenty of scoundrels who’d try to lay their filthy hands on the main character—playboys, hooligans...even assassins. I couldn’t exactly expect them to send letters ahead challenging me to a duel. No, the threat would come out of nowhere. They’d probably try to pounce on her in town, at school, or anywhere else they could catch her unawares.

If I wanted to be prepared for them, then training alone wouldn’t cut it. I’d need real life experience. And I knew just how I was going to get it: on the knights’ patrols through the royal capital.

The kingdom may have been unusually peaceful compared to most, but there seemed to be a reasonably strong chance that I could encounter a little dustup if I accompanied the knights on their patrol. Well, at the very least, I was more likely to encounter something unexpected on their patrols than I was just going to and from the training grounds every day.

And so, with this goal in mind, I reached out to some instructors who seemed like they could connect me with the knights. Just as I’d expected, the instructors were well-acquainted with them. They managed to get me in on their patrolling, and it was decided that my first day was today.

You needed a horse to patrol with the knights. Unfortunately, I wasn’t much of a horse girl...or rather, horses weren’t big fans of me. (Actually, that was true of every animal.) Instead of borrowing a horse from the training grounds or the knights, I figured I’d bring the only horse I could trust not to buck me off her back—my own. I called her Lady.

Gried had let me know in advance that I’d need a horse, but I’d figured I could sort that out the day of.
