Chapter 165: Underestimated Chapter 165: Underestimated The king’s expression hardened.

He didn’t appreciate the prince’s tone, but he knew the rules.

He kept his voice even as he replied.

“This is merely an opening round.

The first prince will compete when his opponents are more worthy.” Gasps rippled through the audience.

Ebere’s smirk wavered slightly at the unintentional slight, but the real damage was done to Prince Azmira’s pride.

Mocking whispers spread among the royals.

“Did he actually expect to race against the first prince?” “Not even the second prince, maybe the fourth at best.” “And they sent him a princess instead?

He’s not even seen as competition!” The prince’s jaw clenched.

He could feel the laughter from the surrounding royals, their amusement barely concealed.

Even some nobles from his own kingdom shifted uncomfortably, humiliated by the blatant disregard for their prince’s ability.

His hands curled into fists, but he quickly forced himself to relax.

Fine.

If they thought so little of him, then he would prove them wrong.

He turned to face Ebere at last, fire in his eyes.

He had one goal now, to defeat this arrogant princess and make them regret ever underestimating him.

The prince from Azmira narrowed his eyes at Ebere, his expression filled with disdain.

It was obvious, he didn’t see her as a real opponent.

Without a word, he mounted his horse, his posture relaxed, and gestured to the official to start the race.

He wasn’t worried.

This was going to be easy.

“Riders, take your positions!” Ebere smirked as she adjusted her grip on the reins.

The breeze lifted her dark hair slightly, her gaze sharp with focus.

“Ready…” The prince barely braced himself, his confidence unwavering.

“Set…” Ebere leaned forward slightly, her body perfectly aligned with her horse.

“Go!” The moment the flag dropped, both riders surged forward.
