When The Count’s Illegitimate Daughter Gets Married

Chapter 66

Laritte recalled the time when Redra was taking care of her horse. Even though there were separate employees for taking care of the stables and the horses, Redra managed her own horse.

Lady Redra, you’re very diligent. Even though you’re soaked in sweat after training, you always make sure to come here. It’s very hard just to feed the horses.

Laritte was sitting on a square pile of straws compressed with silos.

“Indeed, it’s hard for me, too. Who doesn’t have a hard time? But he gets upset when I don’t come to see him”, Redra answered softly as she brushed the mane of the horse with a big comb the size of her head.

Laritte was both envious and amazed. Redra and her horse looked like a family.

“You seem close.”

“We are close!” Redra chuckled at her words.

Redra’s connection had grown stronger with the stallion that accompanied her to the battlefield over the years. Their bond was special.

“Horses are very clever creatures. They can recognize their owners right from the beginning.”

As if ashamed by her compliment, Redra’s horse scratched his hoof on the floor and breathed out from his nose.

“Let’s find out how you can lead your owner to her destiny.”

To Laritte, Redra appeared as a stunning individual. Both the duties of a knight and their horse were wonderful.

Laritte yearned to have such a bond with her horse. She was amazed how they could recognize each other from afar.

Right now, Laritte’s heart was pounding. She reached the bottom of the stairs and ran down the hallway on the first floor to stand in front of the door of the mansion. She realized that Ian came down to bring what she wanted. Ian was there when she arrived breathlessly.

The reason why he suddenly brought a horse was simple. Since what happened earlier, he had been very quiet around Laritte. He couldn’t even look at her in the face, let alone talk to her.

Even though he thought about apologizing, he couldn’t form a word out of his mouth. So he just decided to be honest in his actions. If it was necessary, he would kneel and beg in front of her. Promising that he would not stop her from doing anything in the future.

Which is why he brought Laritte’s horse to prove his sincerity. It had been a while since he brought it from a horse ranch, but he kept it a secret from her.
