"So, you're telling me, you received this writing at your house when you returned?" Prince Jungwon questioned, clenching tight onto the piece of paper held in his hand.

"Yes." Y/n replied while fiddling with her fingers.

"Do you have any suspicions on anyone?"

"Uh-I, no." Y/n replied. Although she wanted to blurt out the incident in the forest and the conversations they overheard, she didn't want Riki to have a negative impression on Jungwon.

Jungwon rested his chin on his hand for sometime, lost deep in thoughts and then crumpled the paper into a wrinkled ball and handed it to Y/n.

"Let's not think about these, you're safe, you do not need to worry" he replied with a smile and although Y/n felt something was wrong, she didn't argue.

"Wanna accompany me?" He said.

"To where?"

"The stable."



"These horses give me 'falling down' feeling." Y/n blurted out as they walked through the place to approach a boy with his back turned.

"Is that even a feeling?" Jungwon laughed.

"Probably! I invented it" Y/n replied with a proud smile and Jungwon laughed out loud.

"Wait, isn't that Riki?" Y/N pointed out the figure of the tall boy who was busy in his own world with his horses.

"Yes."

"Boy, he's a wizard or something? I see him everywhere!" Y/n exclaimed.

"He knows every corner of the kingdom, you'll probably find him everywhere."

"Oh, Prince, you're here." Riki stood up and bowed before Jungwon.

"Riki, would you mind if we stroll around the field with one of your horses?"

"H-horse? What for?" Y/n questioned with a tensed feeling.

"For your horse training because with that horse riding skill, you'll end up killing yourself and your companion" Jungwon stated.

"Yah, don't insult me like that, my skills are secretly hidden" Y/n uttered with an embarrassed face.

"Don't 'yah' me, your skills are weird."

"Oh, I will surely." Y/n stood on her toes to look taller with a proud smile.

Jungwon looked at her with a stunned expression and slowly chuckled.
Y/n stood back normally and laughed as well.
