Chapter 6: Princess Mia Is Perturbed

“Surrendering yourself to your horse, you say...” While those words had been spoken by a foreign princess, they ignited an odd sense of nostalgia within Gongma. Such a statement was enough to move any Equestri, as this was the exact advice given to wee children the first day they found themselves upon a pony. Gongma and the other attendants were no exception.

Despite being the most basic of basics, it was clear that Mia had absolute faith in them. “Yes, as I am certain Dongfeng must be more knowledgeable about galloping than I am. He must be more aware of the road to victory as well,” Mia added, her face aglow with perspicacity.

“I see. Her Highness sowed the seeds that blossomed into this Matching during our Meeting of Chieftains, and thus, her words are weighty ones. I see that Her Highness has faith in horses as strong as any Equestri.”

Gongma felt that Mia’s pureness of heart could also be gleaned from her novice attire. Surely they had been a gift received during her early days of riding, and she now adorned them during this pressing time so she could remember exactly how she felt back then...or at least, that’s what he was about to convince himself of before he suddenly got the feeling that something was off. If Mia intended to give herself entirely to her trusted steed, why had she just demanded he accelerate? That could be nothing but the will of Mia herself, and it was a decision adopted with incredibly apt timing. Should they speed up now, they would shortly get Xiaolei back in their sights. Loklou was a fine horse, but even she could not keep up such a hasty pace.

Yes, that truth should have been obvious. Her relinquishment of the lead to the rider for the Mountain Clan was surely the will of her steed, yet she must also have her motive as well. But just what could that—? Gongma let out a groan. Mia most likely had checked the course beforehand with the map. No, correction—she had definitely checked beforehand. Still, theory is different from practice, and Mia had yet to run the course herself. Thus, it would be perfectly practical to give the lead to her opponent so she could survey the situation. No, the princess is of great wisdom. That being her plan is all but certain. Despite relinquishing the lead, she still seeks to keep her opponent in her sights. Only that way will she be able to learn of the course ahead.

Gongma had reached a conclusion—not only had Mia gallantly ignored Xiaolei’s taunts, she also had her own scheme at work.

Princess Mia took the Meeting of Chieftains by the reins. Such insight would be nothing new for her.

However, there was still a question Gongma couldn’t shake, and he wasn’t one who could leave it unasked. “Coincidentally, Princess, is there a special meaning behind your attire?”

That’s right—Gongma simply could not let Mia’s novice fluffball suit go. He needed to know if it was really a simple reminder of a beginner’s pure heart.
