The Duke Daughter Life

33| Horse Riding

...HAPPY READING...

The horse race begins as the sound of an explosion from the weapon in the hands of the middle-aged man on the starting line. The women had been carrying flowers tucked into their hips, given to men when they reached the spacious courtyard of the Royal Flante.

The horses the women were riding on immediately sped up, the leader of the vanguard was Lail and Kyle. Kyle's heart thumped, seeing the flash of emotion in Lail's beautiful eyes in unison a powerful jolt at the horse's control, really terrible when Kyle thought Lail could not compensate him which incidentally is a female knight who recognized his ability especially in terms of horse riding, no woman has been able to compensate.

"Well, you're really amazing huh, Duchess." Kyle praised.

Lail did not care, choosing to accelerate the pace of the horse so that it was a step ahead of Kyle. The officers guarding the racetrack gawked, making sure Kyle was really ahead of him.

The noble ladies far behind were getting tired and almost lost hope seeing Lail and Kyle had been far ahead, but suddenly their horses had suddenly snickered violently, making a loud snick, the horse's breath became heavy and then began to rage.

Hearing the commotion far behind, Kyle and Lail stopped, looking back to find the horses rebelling and the noble ladies falling, the officers began to be confused to give help.

Lail was about to help however, both his horse and Kyle's horse started rebelling, screeching hard and started running on their own. Lail panicked but kept on racing, trying to control the horse.

"Ukh!" Lail grimaced for a moment pulling the reins sharply to the left and right, and the same thing Kyle did.

The vast courtyard of the Royal Flante has been seen, the audience panicking especially Gaiden upon seeing Lail in danger. Lail remained focused, pressing firmly the buttocks on the saddle, then in one pull on the horse harness, Lail made a strong squeeze on the horse's neck.

The horse raised both legs high and then swished hard and long before finally calm down. Everyone in the line of spectators froze, stunned by Lail's heroic actions until finally the cheers echoed.

Gaiden leaped from the line of spectators, dashing towards Lail while extending both hands. The man's breath went up and down with the sweat decorating his temples.

"Huh ... Huh ... I almost died twice" muttered Lail and went straight down with the help of Gaiden who slipped a big hand on his armpits, lowering slowly.

Kyle approached then told Gaiden that these horses were in trouble and that perhaps some of the women behind were injured.

People who did not know the problem seemed ordinary until finally the officer came and told what happened. The atmosphere was suddenly violent and Lail dropped a glance at Estia who looked disappointed to see her.

"It looks like your niece is involved in this," Lail said as she glanced at Estia who suddenly left with an angry and irritated expression.

Gaiden and Kyle follow the direction of Lail's field.

"How do you take care of this, Gaiden? Are you going to keep quiet when your wife almost dies in front of your eyes?" lail asked, her eyes turning cold.

Gaiden hugged Lail, kissed the top of his wife's head, and then pressed on. "I have to prove Estia's guilty .... In front of everyone so as not to be able to dodge and get punished without a trace."

...***...

...Hedrixine Palace...

Gaiden asks Lail to keep quiet, accompany Rosea (queen of Hedrixine) rather than go along to find out the cause of the horse rampage. Lail seems to be in compliance, and Gaiden and Kyle take care of the problem.

However, Lail was not silent as the crowds and tension had decorated the atmosphere of the current guests in the Hedrixine Palace. Lail moved away from the crowd, sneaking into Estia's residence, the smell of alcohol gushing violently in Lail's sense of smell while standing in front of Estia's bedroom door.

Lail swallows a difficult salivary, damaging one of the hooks on her accessory to break into Estia's bedroom door. Slowly Lail's actions succeeded, slowly being pushed by the door and Lail's eyes widened.

Estia stood up while holding a large bottle of wine aka fermented wine in a half-drunk state. Smiling Lail and sneaking in, grabbing a large cloth to cover her face, Lail approached the increasingly drunk Estia.

"Who are you?!" Estia said as Lail stood before her, she remembered that the door had been locked so that no one would know she was drinking.

"What's? It was impossible because the current atmosphere was not so good to continue the event," Estia said.

"really? But outside, the event began to be enlivened again as no casualties were injured. Do you really want to see your beloved uncle fall more and more into that woman's charm?" Lail's heating.

Estia hardened her jaw, her teeth were grinding and then without thinking, in a state of being completely drunk, Estia came out of the room while carrying her wine bottle with staggered steps.

Lail reviewed a thin smile, then took another direction to the bathroom because at the beginning Lail permission on Rosea to go to the bathroom for a moment.

"Oh my goodness, Estia?"

"Isn't that Princess Estia?"

"Hey, look what he's holding."

"He's drunk?"

Camellia was puzzled to see people start whispering carrying her daughter's name then Carl and Rosea looked frozen with very surprised expressions.

"Mama, where's uncle? Prevent her from dancing with that jal**g!" estia said loudly.

Camellia was unmoved, her face shrinking as if embarrassed to see Estia in this condition. How can Estia drink alcohol to drunk even though she has a weak heart even though alcohol is the biggest abstinence for people with weak heart.

"I've messed up the atmosphere by making all the horses go berserk!" said Estia who successfully surprised everyone there.

"Huh? She crazy?!

"How could he do that? My daughter is hurt now!"

"Yes, my daughter's head was bleeding from falling off the horse!"

Carl begins to panic and calm the raging guests then shortly Lail returns from the bathroom, standing next to Rosea while putting on a surprised face.

"What happened to Estia, Your Majesty?" ask Lail.

Rosea rubbed a rough face. "I'm still trying to digest it, Lail."

"I really want to kill you!" Suddenly Estia refers to Lail with a bottle of wine.

Now that attention falls on Lail then unexpectedly, Estia slams the glass wine bottle to the lip of the table leaving half the body of the bottle. Without saying much more, Estia ran over and was about to stab Lail with the bottle in her hand, but Gaiden appeared first, pulled Lail back and then hit Estia's hand firmly with the bottle of wine.

"Hold, Princess Estia!" Gaiden gave orders to the two soldiers who followed him from the start.

"Yes, Grand Duke!"
