Capítulo 344: Familiar atmosphere

I visit the stables the day after Alexander informed me about the new horses. He bought me the present while I was still a wife, but I won't press too much on the details.

After all, a gift is a gift. Details shouldn't be analysed too much. It's the thought that matters.

«I heard that some new horses arrived,» I say. «The Lord said I could choose one...»

What are we talking about? Clothes?

«Most of them are young, but there are a couple of older horses. I guess my Lord predicted events like parades and ceremonial rides...»

«Wait,» I murmur. «What does it mean?»
