I want to ride a horse, and I want to do it now!

That was his thought!

Of course, he was moved by the sight of his actual daughter Xiaolei riding a steed in glee with his “daughter” Loklou happily galloping around with Xiaolei on her back. But what hit harder was the feelings he held as a citizen of the Equestrian Kingdom.

I want to ride in a passionate horse race just like that. Just when had I forgotten the joy of taking atop a horse’s back?

Whether the horse was slow or fast, it was truly of no consequence. It mattered not what type of steed. All he needed was to ride a horse with nothing else in mind. That was enough to get his heart pumping with joy coursing through its veins. How could he have forgotten something so obvious?

How I wish for such a blood-boiling neck-and-neck race of my own...

Mia and Xiaolei’s honest match had resurrected these feelings within him. It was an urge he had felt when young—to ride his horse forever and to wherever, faster than the birds or the wind.

Pushing down the impulse to hop on his horse and run off, Fuma gave Mia a deep bow of honest gratitude, directed to the person who had made him remember life’s greatest joy after a long, long time. Then...

“It may pain me, but it is you who best suits the swifty Loklou, princess. I graciously bestow her to you.” He said, his mind finally cleared.

Oh, right. These were the rules.

Fuma’s praiseful words had left Mia taken by surprise, but she quickly figured out his aim.

Oho! So you were thinking the same thing I was, Fuma.

Once the Matching of Steeds had concluded, there were no ill feelings left behind. That would prove a benefit in the future. Mia had deceptively picked up that this was what Fuma was trying to get across in order to not have to let go of his precious Loklou.

People are born with the glasses of values in their heart, and they view people through them.

Well, he has a point. Even if I got Loklou now, it would only create future problems. My best course of action is to refuse the horse to create a debt he’ll feel obligated to pay back.

After some quick calculations, Mia gave a calm smile. “Yes, I am aware of the rules, of course. Should I wish for Loklou, you would have no choice but to hand her over. But if I—your opponent—do not wish for such, then...”

“Do you mean to say...you have no use for my Loklou?” he muttered, his voice suddenly growing deeper. His countenance had gone through a sudden transformation—now, he was glaring.

Augh! This is such a pain!

Both accepting and refusing would bring their own troubles. Mia was stuck between a rock and a hard place, leaving her at her wit’s end.

Mia didn’t really want Loklou in the first place. If she had to make an escape, she only need borrow Kuolan. Plus, Dongfeng had proven himself to be a reliable steed as well.
