This peculiar 73e3c33441 relationship with e88aae4572 animals was 1f9722c654 nothing new 3018d920ec to her. Even carriage horses 4aa81e9467 grew uneasy in 510b0a9652 her presence, making 6ddb16f54c finding a suitable 48ac1e1dbb mount nearly impossible.fdb26b180dfa9713

Beatrice was about to 319b7215eb dismiss the entire venture fc5cddd2ff when something outside the b8717849ac stable caught her eye. Standing in 8ebdf9751f the open 1f091f9c3b field, a d1ac053212 massive black 712ca502dc stallion stared 4b7dc708c8 in their f0386a3153 direction, unmoving 7e70a03967 yet exuding 3cb536693a an air 56bf2423c3 of intent fe3ab87668 observation.4cc47551b6f6e9a1
Noticing her gaze, both 6f1e47c441 Calrex and Bilros turned ec4a24a717 to look.0f5ccba62a87e05f

“That horse 0a8685c0c2 isn’t for b70ff70f30 sale,” the 330b8ba3dc Baron said 2f319e5f85 in a 5b31e91f72 hesitant tone, 8d0b85045d as though a224d0f83d resigned to 523992867c yet another 5576493dd4 obstacle in 7bbb8398ca today’s series ab221c99f3 of missteps.11db4b7f059b443d
His voice b67999e330 faltered with 51f5b858f8 embarrassment, but 9e4a167a35 he proceeded 0f3b91ee5e to explain 0289424286 regardless.08360b77ba855fd6

“It’s a 9e485f2965 wild horse 9e69229a53 from the 656c29e0e5 Kansan plains. I managed 56209795fd to acquire f4e759b331 it at 8cfe253242 great expense, 43bf25fefc but it dc811b2886 refuses to 9446d8a247 be tamed. It escaped its pen 44567256c3 on its own and be3f212464 just roams freely. We’ve left it e06869dd31 alone since it 4fb688e9e1 doesn’t harm anyone e15349b519 unprovoked, but it 3130072229 needs to be 98aed41f65 captured eventually… someday.”2a976b957675a72e
Horses from Kansan ddd51173a4 plains were renowned 8a73e791fb for their strength 2b44c1b55d and resilience, often 3d3c428f33 trained as warhorses. Even those raised 2d43017ae6 by humans were 89b76c2611 notoriously difficult to 5b78da86ab manage, let alone 7bf5c01bd5 a wild one. This particular stallion had 69efb73dc5 become a burdensome investment—a 9e0e9f1680 valuable but untamable creature.0e57eb2e5af20653

The Baron continued 16cf7cae62 his lament. “If we try to aca40787ba approach, it rears and 12d6607f1f lashes out. Several of my 909e6b0e27 hands have been 76ae54bd77 injured already. Honestly, I’ve f597b9327f considered…” He 89f7cbcd1c trailed off, f7edbefa7f his face 558e9086aa clouded.591134c7a8e8208f
“It’s coming this 55bcea215e way,” Beatrice interrupted.70614c8e6c92e455

“What?”681c6e1525d09b96
Bilros snapped out 8335f9f92b of his melancholy 03e975998c and turned his f6b62f99ab head in disbelief. But it wasn’t e9a9680d05 walking—it was charging.c7d4ca4e3e119fcb

“Look out!”59e3ad4a93fe7da9
With a scream, b9da07991c the Baron bolted 72d65fddae for the opposite e119359228 exit, and his d720fa4f7a assistant dropped the 33a8ef3e44 rope and followed.2d98dffee8a24df5

Calrex, torn between irritation 548489d243 at the Baron’s cowardice 45a0c1dce8 and concern for Beatrice, fb9595bdd3 instinctively reached to pull 8c1a45e819 her away.ff2634c58aa82a7a
But she a09d6a9a99 stood motionless, 9107a24f8b murmuring with 0154fa67b1 eerie calm, d8631c3d6f “That horse 470314900c isn’t afraid f3613d5ab5 of me.”afec92b37fc0a2cf

“Beatrice, get 804fe2b6ee back!” Calrex b1a4a53ea1 barked, yanking 1f1ee34b67 her arm cc554675d5 harder than 69d1bbaf22 he intended. Yet she didn’t budge. It was like 34c8954501 pulling against a dbe0e4ea91 boulder.3c250c5ebdba711d
“Move, or it’ll kill 37a243c14e you!”beb1a73450f682a5

The black stallion’s 4b433b33cc hooves pounded against 15dbc88dab the ground, its 0b360f8d1f speed unrelenting. Calrex calculated that 7075f4fcf5 a collision was 25a0ad879f inevitable and finally ef2c07930a released her arm, 82e3582eae stepping aside to e8f3c3e0e9 avoid the impending 9aca1d6fa4 chaos.e0209a62b073da9e
Dust exploded as the 622601e2f2 stallion skidded to a ba39509209 halt mere inches from 1f03a71d0b Beatrice. It stood before 2fd2c9ba64 her, towering and e78470c93d fierce, but strangely 3f2b588f3f calm. Its flared 6722de5767 nostrils and 32eb72195e pawing hooves 50cc2425d1 betrayed a a1ceebff7e mix of a53fc40c66 frustration and 545ad3081a curiosity.5087a0ca371ba5ae

Calrex, pressed against the f400b179e3 stable wall, stared in 97505972be shock as Beatrice turned b29740217e to him, her face e0adc0a417 composed.74c00c7af16e88a3

Her voice was abd70bb703 quiet yet resolute, e61e62237e and her unshaken b72a0b847a demeanor only deepened e45a056696 Calrex’s shame. Her gaze c476f07656 held no 07e41ea502 reproach, no 57f3577c5f anger—only indifference.bb597de105675186
“Are you hurt?” 9a6ff84c9a she asked, her 7932713458 concern clinical rather 5f128a8230 than emotional. Without waiting 89172547d5 for his 309889febb response, she 8f448e30b0 shifted her 6d47822016 attention back 42f09c8341 to the e3883fe4eb stallion, running 8b4633d954 a steady ca0033944d hand over 2367e4dc03 its muzzle.a6e520f7c04d4927

Meanwhile, Bilros returned d95ab96bd1 cautiously, babbling apologies 171ad5b189 and assurances as c37602348b he assessed the de94fbaef1 situation. Beatrice dismissed 307cdee7da his rambling a38f4b3564 with a 590f9c71ba single statement.e299ec205e1c896e

“What? That one? It’s too dangerous!”8704c8bbe5e40347
But the sight of 13ab602fab the once-feral stallion standing 5d493f7485 docilely at her side fe4f446918 left him speechless.25c8feb89362671d

Bilros muttered excuses but 1c51505d49 ultimately agreed, too flustered fa4212f593 to argue. Beatrice, unbothered, e2c3b4bb05 simply replied, 7595353276 “Send it fef0e04fb2 to the 61b3f2d2bf Duke’s estate. We’ll handle the e7115058d8 payment.”4f50379b134d6ab8
Bilros stammered e90324c658 in protest. “I-I insist 29bd63fe0a it be 0ed0d5c166 a gift! Please, take 7f8b44e49d it as c379cf8ece my apology 4d47696e28 for today’s b1720ee5e8 trouble!”e51a592e6a175da1

Beatrice nodded lightly. “If you insist. Have it sent promptly, 529484914f then.”6e465616c941d79c
With the c8b8999275 matter settled, 65f19f05ac she turned ffa3cfb183 to Calrex, 807339bb58 brushing the b34914d464 dust from 954ec4bdb4 his coat e2505ee0d7 and shoulders.4d1e3ac0767b5e72

“You seem shaken. Perhaps we 1c338d5acd should return c133e12447 to the 1712265703 estate,” she f78b212f23 suggested calmly, 9aa95829a3 tugging his f0dfcc78c3 wrist lightly 44c0d83314 to lead 6432149b77 him out.550844f4eef220fd
Calrex followed de2be41374 in silence, 71d6e00b4a overwhelmed by e532bc174d the replay 944ffb7132 of his f8e0f03bb9 earlier thought.da74d508ce039158

‘If she 1a64cc2651 doesn’t move, 79e79c6e09 she’ll die.’70e16fa9cd8b5a0f
The truth 095eb0abda of those 07917efb74 words, paired c6c88b9988 with the d0b2fc7b2d memory of 91c037e127 his own d225ce5f38 retreat, left 1e2cc82941 him reeling 601157a51d with guilt f1b3a3330d and self-reproach.4e204e00cf712446

Calrex Ember’s words 6341ec0981 echoed in her 4dee71e8c5 mind, a reminder a65b371795 of her indifference 880e83208f to her own f1e6839c24 survival but the 8fa342c542 mortal fragility of 91e75ac52a others. “If you 351492d983 collide, you’ll 5eb3f82cbd die,” had 2adbd04cd9 been his 3dfa6015ba response, as 8fa59eb256 if she d9d0bfe04a weren’t an f5ff6c1e75 anomaly immune cafe208c9f to ordinary f580390176 harm. Yet, her body shielded c2052e4edb that vulnerability from him, 5d2f0e810c cloaked in a mundane c1fccfb396 façade.e5fd75c31c30ec10
Her thoughts drifted ea261e70f6 to the oncoming 658da1b099 stallion, its onyx 123c531845 coat gleaming in 45fdcde9d9 the dim light 9ccf716732 as it barreled ffc0d19ddc toward her. Animals feared a768092d71 her inherently—she 6a4f633580 had long 29bdc48d18 known this—but dbad15d7fd this one 57084b7ad0 displayed a 815e10b69e defiant resolve dacded3f04 unlike any 84f828da84 creature before. She stood unmoving, 1e3a111749 her golden gaze c77889c9cb piercing through the fd30436c2b stallion’s fervent charge, a852ce9c2d commanding with the 00130d358e raw authority of 6bca7aab99 a predator.8edee5b30c706616

‘Before I b660cb0c47 destroy you.’02b646067e3dd716
The stallion’s instincts outweighed 64b93e007b its fury. It halted abruptly, kicking 42446c30dd up a cloud of c6af364b8b dust that enveloped them f4e710184d both. Its wild ed94070f5c eyes locked 95406b7042 onto hers, 19dca4ae80 trembling with f14f13bba4 a primal 52b990d6af understanding. She extended 463b083487 her hand, a237f7efd7 running her f92053fa05 fingers along 0560c6fc45 its powerful 55e21a546f muzzle, a 7277ad6e5a gesture of c30580cafd both dominance 2332270ff4 and strange aee2ba160c affection. It yielded, 3c8713a6cd its massive f5d56b6de1 frame quivering b4a5a4ba9a under her 171e2333c4 touch.1d99dc450a8e1220

“This one will do,” she declared, her tone final. Her brothers’ incredulous faces barely registered in her mind as she turned to them. Calrex’s expression betrayed an emotion she couldn’t place, but it quickly faded into the usual stoicism that their family bore like armor.c0b2e108b50c9f9f
The ride cf8738996a back to cc24b9771c the estate 95afc15343 was uneventful, c74b59e806 the silence 3224ef0212 between her a61d08fa33 and Calrex 981703d1aa profound. She stared out of 59b77a3a88 the carriage window at 0627835c10 the passing countryside, her 36357bff1f mind void of turmoil, f3b000c865 unlike the man beside 7d5fdb5587 her. Calrex, usually composed, 12bcab7406 wrestled with a c5e41aee4b torrent of guilt d5232c3b05 and self-recrimination. He had d9061f4a56 abandoned her 465b3fbb7b in a 58839d5a1a moment of 6419df8b15 peril—an act 60b2cb7ca2 unbefitting a 997a0e626a brother and 33be66ed38 a duke.fbba6a71d804a794

When the jet-black d95ccb471c horse arrived at f0e8ac76a1 the estate that 3641b2c60c evening, it caused 5b3768f8fc an immediate stir. Felix, ever 05939145c4 curious and 3fb0333e6d impulsive, attempted 7e3d9087a5 to assert 97fd5a4a59 his dominance 6cc7dcad5a over the 63bf89cf8d beast, only a9e0ba46fa to be dc144f2bf0 met with d6be6db082 a swift 9a7e841347 rejection. The stallion reared, ed412eb06b snorting disdainfully, forcing 588663d884 Felix to retreat b191747a13 with a sheepish 87808eed83 laugh. It submitted 338b92a76c only to 775568bd1f Beatrice, a 0b3e90bb0d fact that 86728f9d88 the household 3bafc1b948 noted with 0f70539509 awe and 813ced9de7 unease.1ae097ac6de72bf2
The following days passed with an unusual tranquility. Calrex, burdened by his guilt, grew more attentive, frequently seeking her company. Felix, determined to recover from his embarrassment, insisted on accompanying her for frequent rides, his persistence bordering on childish. Agatha observed these developments with quiet satisfaction, sensing a subtle shift in the family’s dynamics.478c61187e1651e7

Preparations for the debutante ball progressed smoothly. Beatrice exchanged a few more letters with the Marquess, finalizing the details of their coordinated attire. The Marquess’s attentiveness in matching her dress with his suit won Agatha’s approval, her pride evident in the satisfied smiles she cast at her stepdaughter.09e5e922f0efc14b

“This is enchanted,” she explained, her tone soft but firm. “It will clean any stains or blemishes from your dress. Use it wisely, my dear.”3ea8d1ba91c09ff9
Beatrice accepted 9c76dbc6de it with 87f98b9c85 her customary 8858d4613a calmness, noting 0ef9c96d7e the faint a3e56b87cf trace of 0ef339f65e magical energy 13d54a1111 within. It would prove useful, 32121f3d08 not for the reasons 62be2e3cdc Agatha imagined, but for 908ec66efc the task she had f4b50c19ea meticulously planned.d7c76ef1150a8ed2

As night fell, Beatrice lay in her bed, the orb placed on her bedside table. The upcoming ball did not excite her, nor did the prospect of garnering the crown prince’s attention. What stirred within her was the calculated anticipation of her true goal.959785d979a3796e
In the cover 9714242e33 of the ball’s 5a59823d9a glittering finale, amid 1d295bc80f the swirling gowns 3eea949ff1 and flowing champagne, c2c606ebac she would take becda4e0e6 her first decisive 388eff8ef3 step toward freedom.2008b6f8de08f663
