Chapter 29: Horsemanship
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Caroline did not know that someone was already busy preparing for their marriage. She entered the stable and saw a black stallion. “I want this.”
The stableman looked at Edwin, who was behind her, and said, “Sir, this…”
“I was thinking of showing off how to pick a horse in front of you, but I didn’t expect that I wouldn’t be able to do it at all. Out of so many horses, you picked the best one with a single glance.”
Edwin pretended to look regretful, but his words affirmed Caroline’s judgment. Then, he said, “But this horse has been very arrogant since it was young. It is wild and mischievous, and it will not let anyone get close to it easily. So, for ordinary guests, we will suggest that they choose another horse.”
The black horse seemed to understand that Edwin was talking bad about it. It raised its hooves unhappily and rubbed its head against his hand. It looked like it was making a scene, but it was actually acting coquettishly.
Caroline immediately understood. “So this is your horse?”
“Yes, it is.” Edwin patted the black horse’s head with a good temper, took an apple from the stableman’s hand, and fed it. “Its name is Black Pearl, and it has been with me for almost twelve years.”
“If that’s the case, then I won’t be able to take away your love.” She looked around the stables and picked a tall white horse.
Although it looked inferior to Black Pearl, from its physique and the direction of its muscles, it was also a rare good horse.
Edwin looked at the white horse and patted the black horse. He led it to Caroline and whispered in her ear, “If you really like the Black Pearl, I can bring you to ride a few rounds.”
On the other side, the stableman had already put the saddle on the white horse. Caroline turned her head and looked at Edwin with a faint smile, as if she knew what he was planning. “Thank you for your kind intentions, but I prefer to ride by myself.”
She took the reins from the stableman’s hand, stepped on the stirrup, and flipped over cleanly. She then flicked the reins and the white horse galloped out as fast as lightning.
“It’s all your fault.” Edwin scratched his nose and patted his black horse.
The black horse snorted unceremoniously, as if it was looking down on him. It was obvious that he was the one who failed to live up to his expectations, but he had to blame it.
Not far away, Caroline felt the vibration of the wind that she had not heard for a long time. She felt that the unhappiness that she had been suppressing in her heart for the past few days had dissipated a lot.
She flicked the reins again, and the white horse’s speed increased a lot. As expected, compared to dealing with all kinds of cumbersome people and things, she preferred to run on the simple and direct battlefield.
There were equestrian coaches in the track, and after hearing that Edwin had come, they gathered in the training room next to the track to be on standby in case of emergency.
Caroline rode past them on her horse, attracting their attention. They all went to the window to look. Caroline drove the white horse to the first obstacle. She held the horse’s belly and lifted the reins. The white horse raised its head and legs, and the woman and horse leaped over.
“Alright!” The smooth operation made the eyes of the equestrian coaches light up, and they applauded.
As soon as the applause ended, Caroline crossed two obstacles in a row with lightning speed.
“This skill, it’s not inferior to us professional jockmen, right?” the other horsemen were amazed.

“Not only that, but I think he’s even better than many professionals.” Since they were chosen by the Anderson family, they were the best in the industry. To be able to get their approval, it could be seen how superb Caroline’s riding skills were.
Edwin, who was leading the black horse outside the stage, stared unblinkingly at the arrogant and willful Caroline. She was even more dazzling than the sun in the sky. He mumbled, “She should have been this kind of person.”
It wasn’t the pitiful person in the video who could be bullied and only shivered without knowing how to resist.
“Sir, I’ve found out where that account went.”
Edwin’s eyes were still on Caroline. “Continue to investigate, but don’t alert anyone.”
After saying this, he saw that Caroline had already finished running on the obstacle course and was starting to run back. He flipped over and got on the horse. He squeezed the horse’s belly and went up to her.
