Chương 150: Ten Years Ago: Part Three

Prince Conrad lowered his gaze from the guards patrolling the palace walls, focusing ahead now that they crossed the bridge. That was until something out of the corner of his eyes caught his attention, and he inhaled sharply as a servant boy tried to grab an apple rolling on the ground before Shardeigh's hoof. His horse neighed and went to purposely kick the boy, but another set of hands grabbed him quickly and pulled him back. Startled by the two boys, Shardeigh abruptly went back onto his hind legs, and Conrad flew backwards.

"Ugh." He landed hard on his bottom, but without any injuries, he gritted his teeth and glared at the two boys who were also on the ground. The one whose black hair was in a messy bun stared after the other boy, who picked up his hat and quickly placed it on his head. But the black-haired boy seemed more concerned with his friend, fretting over nothing while a prince was sitting on his behind.
