Chapitre 18: 18. Selecting A Horse

Darian asked, "which horse do you choose, princess?"

Darian and Ariadne are currently in the stables. Ariadne still chooses the white horse she wants. There are two white horses available. One female, and one male.

"I want the white horse we rode in training. When you taught me to ride. If I remember correctly, we're on a white horse. Was the horse of the time female or male?"

Darian chuckles. "Of course the male one. It's called Space."

"His name is bad."

"Then you should give me another name. Are you going to take Space?"

Ariadne nodded. She stood in front of a stall that contained a handsome white stallion. "But I'm afraid, this horse is quite big."

"I'll teach you to ride him to excel."

"Okay. Then let him out."

Darian nodded. The man opened the horse cage door called space. Leading the white horse to the corral and into the field.

"What do you want to ride for?" Darian asked because he was curious.

"I just want to try something else. Can't a princess ride a horse?"

"Of course you can. But you're a woman and --"

"All women are entitled to do anything, Darian. Not just sew, cook, get married, and get pregnant. Women can do everything and women's activities should not be restricted."

Hearing that darian could only be silent. What Ariadne said was true. All women have the right to do whatever they please.

"Where did you learn about it, princess?"

Ariadne smiled. "From the outside world. The outside world is filled with all kinds of things. Elie did teach me how to sew, embroider, cook, paint, and learn manners as a princess. But Dlie didn't teach me to be a tough woman."

"Tough woman?"

"Yes. Tough lady. Elie never taught me how to be a strong, strong woman. You know darian? A princess also needs the strength to take care of herself. It will take when all the guards fall."

"You mean, a princess must fight?"

"I didn't say that. But if so, why not?"

Darian chuckles. "Enough of your jokes, princess. You're a princess with a lot of bodyguards. And you shouldn't do anything strenuous."

"What kind of heavy stuff are you talking about, Darian?"

"Well, heavy things like riding, archery, martial arts. A princess should be honored and sit on her throne."

Ariadne laughed heartily at darian's statement. The man in front of her doesn't know that she's been practicing martial arts with Charlotte.

"Why do you laugh, princess?"

"Oh no, whatever you think. I just want to let you know that all the things women do shouldn't be limited."

"Okay. This time I give up. I agree with your opinion, princess."

"You should give up when you see me."

Then they both laugh together. Their laughter was witnessed by the horses released from the stalls.

Darian patiently taught Ariadne the right way to ride. Surely Ariadne has replaced her gown with a thick riding suit. Ariadne's body looks so thin and ideal. Even Darian was nervous teaching Ariadne to ride up close.

Darian has never seen Ariadne's slender body before. Because Ariadne had always been wearing a dress only in the service of any event.

While training Ariadne, Darian's heart quickened. When that man's hand touched Ariadne's body, it felt like electricity. Sometimes Darian helps Ariadne gain control of the horse. Help Ariadne get on the pedals. Darian also held Ariadne's waist in helping the woman set the balance of the body.

Several times Ariadne fell, overwhelmed when the white horse on which she rode was particularly swift. Her body was not steady as her horse increased in speed. Ariadne's still trying to master it.

"Do you think I'll be able to ride a horse after how many days?"

Darian was wiping Ariadne's sweat on her forehead and on her neck. The man smiled. "After a week or two weeks at least you'll be able to ride a horse yourself."

Ariadne's pouting. "Ah, that's way too long."

"Where do you think you're going with a horse?"

"I only wish I could ride."

"Can't you ride a horse, princess? You have mastered the riding exercises."

Ariadne shakes her head. "I'm not good at running. I'm definitely gonna fall. My body is not balanced."

"Then, ride your horse in the usual manner. No need to tell that horse to run. Just let it walk and point where it will take you."

"Is that so?"

"Yeah, just like that. Don't put yourself in danger."

"Okay. I'm tired of Darian, put that horse back in the stable."

Darian nodded. "You're done? Won't you give him a name, princess?"

"Ah, yes. Umm, what's his name again?"

"I don't know. Think about it."

"Emm, his name is Griffin."

"Griffin? Ah, I just heard that name." Darian said with a look of admiration.

Ariadne chuckles. "I just took a word from my Latin name, Darian. In latin, Griffin means strong."

"Ah, I understand. Would you give him a necklace?"

"Well, can it?"

Darian nodded enthusiastically. "I'll get you the horsebands available at the barn."

"All right, I'll wait here."

Ariadne smiled at Griffin, her horse. The girl stroked Griffin's thick hair. The horse seems so tame in Ariadne's eyes. The horse has been silent and breathless, not revolting at all.

About fifteen minutes, Darian came in with a horse collar. The pendant is made of copper iron, while the neckline contains only a special string for animals.

Ariadne was fascinated by the necklace. It had a "G" engraved in the middle. "Woah, did you carve it?"

Darian nodded. "I'm going to stop by the jewelry department. I asked Robert to help me carve a letter here. Put this on your horse, princess."

Ariadne smiled brightly. The girl received a necklace from darian. Then put a collar around griffin's neck. Griffin is much more handsome as a horse. It makes that horse look really tough and strong.

"Thank you, darian. You're very kind."

"You're welcome, princess. Return first to the palace. I'm gonna put your horse in a special place."

"Yes. Okay.."

Ariadne stroked Griffin's face before she actually went back inside the palace. Enough riding practice for today. At least Ariadne has mounted Griffin. Ariadne will make sure she gets to see Charlotte once a week. She's starting her secret training next week.

Chapitre 19: 19. Poison Powder

"Meghan." Elie summons Meghan in a firm tone of voice. The kitchen is quiet at night.

The kitchen servants had gone to their bedrooms to rest. Some go home when their house is close. However, the system in the Diamond Kingdom has extended a stay for all its servants.

Only, Ariadne has been kind to the servants. Married servants were allowed to return home after a long day's work in the palace.

Meghan, who checked the clean water canister and the wine turned to Elie. The woman gave Elie a casual look.

"What's wrong, Elie?" Meghan asked.

Elie walks closer to Meghan. "What did you put in my son's food this morning?"

At the sound of that question, Meghan's legs tremble behind her skirt. Meghan's hands are cold. "Ah, I just added pepper porridge." She pleaded in self-defence.

Elie eyed Meghan suspiciously. "That's rice, not porridge. No need for you to add pepper to plain rice." Elie firm.

"Elie, you're really overreacting. I'm sorry if I put something in there wrong. I thought Darian would like the taste, anyway."

"You think I'm stupid? If it's pepper powder, why did you put it in your pocket? Tell me, is it poison?" Elie asked in a growing tone of voice.

Meghan is walking backwards. Her body was cornered. "You're really overreacting, elie. I just --"

"Stop pestering my mother." Sergio blurted out that had suddenly come and entered the kitchen area. The guy's pissed off and kept Meghan's body out of Elie's.

Elie backs her chest and smiles slightly. "I'm not disturbing your mother. I just asked you a question that had to have an answer."

"I have answered your question. It was pepper powder." Meghan's crack is fixed.

"Thank god it's pepper powder. My son didn't let me eat the rice this morning anyway. From tomorrow, darian won't need food from you. I can cook my own for my son." Elie says. She left the kitchen immediately. That left Meghan and Sergio alone.

Meghan breathed a sigh of relief. At least, Elie didn't follow up on the problem.

"Mom, I told you never to do that again. You promised me." Sergio blurted with his sad look. His handsome face just cut Meghan loose and shut. Meghan quickly hugged Sergio and stroked his son on the back.

"Sergio, is your life okay with this? It should be you who sits on the throne. Not Ariadne." Meghan says with her tears flowing.

Sergio gives off meghan's arms. The man shook his head slowly. "Mom, I don't mind living like this. I'm after the throne. But mom and I could have a happy life. Wait a little longer, at least until I can lead all the soldiers. I will strike back this palace. After that I'll take you to another land. We will have a happy life there."

"No. Mom doesn't want to. I just want you to sit on that throne. That's your right!!" Meghan yelling at Sergio.

"Mom, listen to me. There are other ways. Don't kill anyone here. At least you shouldn't act like a criminal. I'm not the first kid anyway. I was a child he didn't want to be in the family tree. So please, don't make a crime while I'm still fighting here."

Heard that Meghan dropped her head right off. The woman cried. Then Meghan instantly slammed that little bottle out of the pocket of her servant's dress. The small bottle of the white powder was crushed and its contents gushed out. Meghan stepped on her, pissy.

Long as meghan never uses that powder again. A very long time. However, once she wore it, death instantly occurred.

"I'll take you to your room, mom. Rest up." Sergio blurted gently.

Meghan nodded her head. The woman walked slowly by holding into sergio's hand. Meghan's legs were still a little wobbly when Elie managed to interrupt her earlier.

The next second, however, a girl in a white nightgown came out of the bend in the kitchen wall. The girl is Ariadne. Ariadne's hair stretched all the way below the waist.

Ariadne's face looks red. That girl wasn't wearing any shoes. Ariadne intends to find water to fill into her glass. Under the cover of darkness and the rest of the servants, Ariadne took the initiative to fetch her own drinking water in the kitchen. And Ariadne hears all the talk from the beginning.

And as Sergio passed through the kitchen area again, Ariadne quickly hid behind the kitchen counter. Watching Sergio walk away to get to another building.

After Sergio is invisible, Ariadne comes out of hiding. The girl studied the shattered little glass bottle on the ground in the kitchen. Fill that vial out. It contained white powder and a very soft texture.

Ariadne took the white powder just at her index finger tip. The girl tried to smell the white powder. The white powder has no smell. Courageously, Ariadne tried to taste the powder on the tip of her tongue. She tried very very little.

Upon learning the taste of the powder, Ariadne neither tasted it nor swallowed it. The girl spit in the wrong direction. Then Ariadne took clean water to rinse without swallowing it.

"What is this powder? No smell, no taste. But my tongue is rather hot." Ariadne mumbled softly.

Carefully, Ariadne took a cover of food. To remove the spilled powder along with the broken vial. Ariadne quickly packed the powder she had gathered and put it in the pocket of the nightgown.

Ariadne's thoughts were directly suspicious of Meghan. The girl spent some time moping in the middle of the kitchen. Then select some water to be poured into a special glass.

Ariadne is walking back down the hall of the empty palace. The dim moonlight illuminates the naked footsteps. The girl walks up with a large gold mug. A princess's glass is indeed different and special.

There will be no guards at Ariadne's door tonight. Guards were directed by Darian to guard the lower regions in Ariadne's Chambers. To keep an eye on Ariadne's balcony so no one comes in.

Ariadne still sits motionless on the edge of her bed. The girl noticed the fine white powder she had opened in the cloth.

"Meghan, what are you hiding? Who is sergio? And what is this powder?" Ariadne asked alone. The thought of the fine powder bothers her.

However, instantly Ariadne's eyes widened. The girl noticed the fine white powder on her lap. Ariadne realized something.

"The arsenic poison. Yes. It's arsenic. Arsenic powder. Meghan, did you kill my parents?"
