They had walked nearly to the end of the marketplace when Richon saw a wagon full of books.

His heart began to skip and he hurried closer. He knew those books. They were from his father’s library.

The one on the far left was the book on training horses that his father had tried so hard to get him to read. Not that he had offered him bribes for it. His father would never do that. He felt that reading and the knowledge that came from it must be its own reward. He would only show the book to Richon and mention that he had read it when he was a boy, that he had enjoyed it very much.

Then his father might cautiously mention that he had noticed how interested Richon was in horses. He would ask if Richon knew how it was that a young horse was taught to answer to a particular command, or if he knew why a horse should never be allowed to drink its fill after a hard ride.

Richon had been interested in horses as he had been in no other animals. Other animals reminded him of animal magic that he did not have, but when he looked at a horse he thought only of the way it ate up the ground, the feel of air rushing through his hair, and the undeniable excitement of riding up so high.

But to learn about caring for a horse—he thought that was a duty for others.

His father had never forced the matter and Richon had never opened the book. He had not thought about it once in his three years as king. But now he itched for it.
