Bab 84: Why Do Birds Suddenly Appear?

"Are you really sure that you're riding Kuro? And wearing that as well," Gwen voiced out while gesturing at me.

"What is wrong with it?" I replied, ignoring her comment about my dress.

Yes, I am wearing a dress. I forgot to change into riding gear earlier, and we're already here anyway…

"Well, you know, because The Hunt is next year. Are you seriously thinking of making Kuro your mount by then?" Gwen bounced back.

I glanced at her, "Why not?"

"Are you not afraid of the people's opinion?" 

I stared at Gwen blankly.

'Who cares about them? They are not the ones who'll be doing it, so why would I bother listening to their yapping? If any, they would probably start gossiping amongst themselves again.'

Gwen caught the look I was giving her and nodded.

"Forget I asked that…"

Heh~ Gwen must know me very well.
