NOT THE USUAL CINDERELLA (Season 2)

WHITE ANGEL

As soon as Alvero's hand touched his face, the black horse moved its head up and down in Alvero's hand, as if the horse knew Alvero and loved Alvero's touch so much, like a dog meeting his master.

“Never Your Majesty.” Deanda said in a soft voice as she looked towards Alvero who seemed to be patting the head of the dark horse.

“This horse's name is black thunder. My horse. Black thunder, give a warm greeting to my queen.” Alvero said as he grabbed Deanda's hand and asked her to stroke the black thunder head that seemed to understand Alvero's command, as soon as Deanda's hand touched it, the horse neighs slowly while moving its head into the hands of Deanda who immediately smiles amusedly and likes because black thunder welcomes him kindly.

“How is black thunder? Greetings. Hopefully we can be good friends in the future.” Hearing Deanda's words, Alvero smiled amusedly, seeing how Deanda greeted the black thunder which was like greeting a new acquaintance.

“Haist. Good thing he's just a horse, not a guy who can make me jealous.” Deanda immediately glared at the soft mutterings from Alvero that she could hear clearly.

“Hah, even a horse can make you so jealous.” Hearing Deanda's innuendo, Alvero grimaced and without responding to Deanda's words immediately pulled Deanda's wrist, leading her to walk a few meters to the dpean, where a white horse with spots on its body appeared, which to Deanda looks so beautiful, even though the horse's body is not as brave and as big as black thunder.

“This horse is called white angel, he is an Appaloosa type horse, the mother was a favorite horse of the queen Larena Hilmar. He's such a gentle and docile horse. From now on this horse will be yours. You will practice riding with white angel.” Alvero said as he gave the code to one of the people who got close.

(This Appaloosa horse has spots on its body like a dalmatian dog. In addition to its attention-grabbing appearance, the horse is also known for its gentleness, friendliness and loyalty, The Spruce Pets said. Historically, this horse was brought to North America by the Spaniards in the 1600s. The horse is 56-60 inches (142-152 cm) tall and weighs 430-544 kg. Usually, this horse is used as a means of transportation, hunting animals and fighting. Appaloosa horses are also used for long-distance riding, racing, rodeo and other sports).

“Sweety, this is Mr. Aaron, he will teach you to ride horses.”

“Good morning Your Highness Alvero and Empress Deanda. A great honor for me to be able to teach the Empress to ride horses.” Aaron said while bowing his body in a respectful manner.

“Mr Aaron, consort Deanda has never once rode a horse, please train the empress patiently and carefully.”

“Every Your Majesty, in a short time the Empress will definitely be a good horseman, let alone the Queen's spouse is a white angel. White angel is a strong horse but gentle and patient.”

“For all of you, please start without me. Me and Mr. Aaron will accompany consort Deanda to learn horseback riding first.” Alvero immediately gave the order to the others who seemed to be already holding their own horses.

Upon hearing the words of Alvero, one by one the princes and princesses began to take their horses to the field and began to ride their horses, respectively, surround the outskirts of the artificial forest that is not far from the horse stables.

“Emer, it's good that the Empress let the white angel know the empress as her new owner. Here white angel.” Aaron said as he grabbed the white angel harness, taking it out of his cage, followed by Deanda and Alvero who were also holding tightly to the black thunder reins.

“Emer, hold this bridle, walk slowly beside the white angel by stroking the head and body of white angel.” Aaron said while thrusting the white angel harness to Deanda.

Deanda immediately did as Aaron instructed him, walking to the left of the white angel, with his left hand tightly holding the white angel bridle, while his right hand stroked the head and body of the white angel by occasionally patting him.

After some time Deanda walked with the white angel and Aaron saw how the white angel was comfortable with Deanda. Aaron approached the white angel.

“Empress, it looks like the empress could try riding the white angel now. White Angel was already looking comfortable with the empress. The key that a novice horse rider must possess is courage and calmness. Horses are sensitive animals, if we are already on a horse's back, we should relax. If we are afraid and our body attitude is captured by the horse, then he will join in fear.” Aaron stopped his words for a while while gently patting the body of white angel who meerek slowly because of the actions of Aaron.

“To ride a horse, the Empress should always start from the left side of the horse because the strength of the footing is on the right foot in most people in order to stomp to climb up. One jump will usually be able to rise immediately if the blow at once the hand grip is very strong. Try to maintain the balance of the body of the Empress.” Aaron again gave a trick to Deanda to start preparing to ride the white angel.

Upon hearing Aaron's words, Alvero went straight down from the black thunder's back, and walked closer towards the white angel and Deanda. And a bodyguard who followed them swiftly grabbed the reins from the black thunder in place of Alvero.

“Let me help the empress ride her horse. He has never ridden a horse at all.” Alvero said as he grabbed the bridle that was originally in Deanda's hand, deliberately doing so because Alvero did not want Aaron to touch Deanda's body when later helped him climb onto the white angel's back. After all because of this for the first time, Alvero felt it was safer to ride the white angel, sitting right behind Deanda so as to help Deanda understand how strong or how to control the horse.

“Good Your Majesty.” Hearing Alvero's request, Aaron immediately drifted away, because he knew Alvero's prowess in horseback riding.

With Alvero in with Deanda, Aaron can make sure that he doesn't have to worry, everything will be fine. Because in this palace, who does not know Alvero's prowess in horseback riding? Even Aaron as a coach must willingly admit that Alvero is comparable to him in that, only Alvero is not a person who can have patience in teaching others, only that is Alvero's weakness.

But if it had anything to do with the empress he loved so much, Alvero would never have let any man touch her body even if only in terms of helping her ride on a horse's back. Teaching Deanda a theory lesson? Alvero doesn't mind if Aaron does that, but practice? Waita…. Alvero will teach Deanda himself. Moreover, Alvero knows very well the story of how a gentle and as good as Lady Diana even had an affair with Major James Hewith, her personal horse trainer. And Alvero would never let that happen to Deanda.

“Sweety, hold my hand tightly, put your foot on the stirrup, if I give you the code, jump up and up to the horse saddle with one jump. After that I'll catch up sitting behind you and help you learn how to control white angel.” Alvero said as he reached for Deanda's hand which responded to Alvero's words by nodding her head.

(Sanggurdi or stirrup is a riding equipment in the form of footrest when riding a horse. Usually this stirrup is hung on the edge of the saddle with a band or string called a stirrup strap. Stirrup or stirrup is made in pairs that are right - left and used to help someone ride the animal mounts or as a foothold during riding animals, especially horses. The existence of stirrups will help the horse rider in maintaining his position in the saddle and facilitate the handling of the horse).

“Come, jump.” Alvero gave a cue to Deanda whose legs were already in the stirrup on the white angel's body.

“Akhh..!” Deanda immediately shouted in shock because as soon as he was on the saddle on the back of the white angel, suddenly the horse was running fast and also neighing loudly, too, making Alvero did not have time to go up and sit behind Deanda, because a strong jolt of white angel suddenly made the bridle held by Alvero detached.

“Sweety!!” Alvero shouted hysterically at the white angel who was galloping with Deanda on top of his back while occasionally straightening his body and curling loudly like an angry horse, trying to throw Deanda's body off his back.

Although Alvero saw that Deanda had not fallen off the white angel's back from tightly holding the reins, but seeing the unrestrained condition of the white angel, Alvero's face could not hide her panic and worry, moreover, he knew Deanda had never once ridden a horse. Given that, Alvero is not sure how long Deanda can stay on the white angel's back, making Alvero's chest beat tight because of fear something bad will happen to Deanda if his body is thrown from the back of the white angel who looks more and more wild.

“Give me!” Alvero quickly snatched the black thunder harness from the hands of his bodyguards and hurriedly rode the black thunder to chase after the white angel who was galloping with Deanda on his back.
