Atop this magnificent beast was Prince Alexei, the first prince of Haran.
He was the very picture of nobility, broad shouldered, composed, and carrying an air of effortless authority. Unlike Princess Ebere, who had ridden to showcase herself as much as the horse, Alexei did the opposite.
He blended seamlessly with the stallion, as if they were one entity, allowing the horse's brilliance to take center stage.
His movements were precise yet fluid, his grip firm yet relaxed. It was clear that he was not merely a rider. he was a horseman in every sense of the word.
The crowd reacted instantly.
Squeals erupted from the young girls, their excitement impossible to contain.
"He's so elegant!"
"Look at how he rides, so controlled, so powerful!"
"That horse… I've never seen anything like it!"
Many had already abandoned the idea of attracting the attention of the two legendary figures from the previous day, knowing they were completely out of their league.
