Bab 643: The lesson he wanted to teach her

Florence didn't have the time to react to what was coming at her. All she could do was stare at the galloping horse coming at her while her breath hitched. 

"Your Majesty!" 

Silvia didn't think twice as she leaped from her steed to Florence. Everything happened so fast that she simply acted out of instinct. With her arms securing the empress's head, both of them rolled on the ground while their own steeds ran away after getting startled. 

But Florence's steed ran over Silvia, who used her body as Florence's shield. Silvia could only grit her teeth as the pain didn't come instantly. Instead, all she could think about was whether the empress was safe. 

As the dust ambled up by the galloping horses, Silvia drew her head back. She was under Florence, which to her relief. 

"Your Majesty, are you alright?"
