Miscalculation on Horseback

“Princess Mia, why are you here?”

“Oh, Prince Abel? What a surprise.”

Upon seeing the owner of the voice, Mia was a little surprised at the appearance of an unexpected person. If Mia’s memory is correct, Abel belonged to the card game club on the previous timeline. Mia also considered joining that club to deepen the relationship with Abel. However, discovering that that club was composed of good-for-nothings who gambles all day, Anne stopped her.

I thought you would lead a self-deprecating student life…

Abel’s face in the old timeline came to Mia’s head. At that time, he looks pallid and had always had a pitiful smile on his face, and his uniform was sloppy.

“Did you join the equestrian club?”

“Yeah? Yeah, that’s right. I’m technically a prince of the Remno Kingdom, so for the time being, I’m thinking of training in equestrian and swordsmanship.”

His face was not a hint of the old face that Mia remembered. Abel answered with a refreshing smile that was far from decadent. He was well dressed for horseback riding, and he was emanating a healthy atmosphere.

“So, what are you doing?”

“I’m on a tour. I’m interested in horsemanship.”

“Princess Mia and horsemanship? That sounds a little surprising …”

“Oh, Abel, do you know this young lady?”

“Ah, Ma Long. Yes, the other day, at the welcome party for new students, I was lucky to be her partner.”

“Well, that’s just perfect. Good that you are here, perfect timing. Why don’t you take her on a horse ride?”

“……What?”

Hearing those words, Abel blinked his eyes.

“If she is interested in horses, we can’t leave her empty-handed, can we?”

With that said, Ma Long winked mischievously.

“No, but …”

Abel glances at Mia and immediately turns away. His cheeks are slightly reddish.

Oh my, is that…

Mia did not fail to notice Abel’s blushing.

Maybe Prince Abel is embarrassed to be on a horse with me!

Riding two horses is a romantic atmosphere. It wouldn’t be strange if Abel was shy and nervous because of that.

Ufufu, Prince Abel. Unexpectedly, he is sweet.

Her inner twenty-year-old showed up, and she haughtily looked down on him. Even if she has never been in a relationship, she was an adult female – assuming you count the previous timeline. The mind of a mere teen could hardly pose a challenge for her. She can read this boy like a book.

Currently, Mia’s woman’s intuition was certainly correct. Yes, but it is more because of a beginner’s luck than romantic insight.

Well, if that’s the case, I must take the lead here. I am older and the mature one, after all.

Mia was confident and told Abel.

“I would like to ask for an escort, Prince Abel. We did not get to know well each other at the party. I’d love to have a chance to talk with you some more…”

With that said, she lowered her head bit, and looked up at him with wide, expectant eyes. Mia was shameless.

“Mmm? If Princess Mia says so …”

“Oh my, I’m happy.”

Mia had a lovely smile … and yet that smile did not last long.

Heeeee!!! It’s too, high, too high. This is too much high!

Mia did her best to stop herself from screaming those thoughts out loud. After Ma Long helped her onto the horse, she immediately noticed that the back of a horse was much higher off the ground than she had previously thought.

To make matters worse, Mia was in her school uniform. The uniforms at St. Noel Academy were novel and designed by cutting-edge designers on the continent. A white blouse, the blazer worn over it; and the pleated skirt with tight creases. This uniform sets it apart from the dresses normally worn by aristocrats.

The important thing here was that Mia was wearing a skirt instead of pants. Yes, if one tries to ride a horse in this style, one must sit sideways with the legs aligned.

This is scary…

If Mia was able to normally straddle the back of a horse, she can see the front over the horse’s head. But since she is sitting sideways, she can see the ground with every downward glance.

Furthermore, it is extremely unsteady in terms of position. A little carelessness would result in a quick fall. As a result, Mia has lost all her advantage, such as romanticism and leading Abel.

“Then, Princess Mia, hold on firmly to me … Wow!”

Prince Abel was saying something, but she couldn’t afford to hear it. Mia put her arms around Abel’s waist and hugged him tightly.

“Umm, umm, Princess Mia, you don’t have to grab that tight …”

“I-I-I know! I-I-I understand. Feel free to go ahead!”

In many ways, a thrilling horseback riding date begins between the two. Mia, who has lost her cool and in a total panic due to fear; and Prince Abel, who has lost his cool due to being in proximity with the girl he cares about. So began their horseback date that was heart-stopping for a different reason.
