TLYWK Chapter 5 (Part 3)
by Solavitaba4df27e720cb787
This peculiar relationship 129ef1f2bb with animals was 42b113c75c nothing new to ddb081beb4 her. Even carriage horses 22d3cdf371 grew uneasy in c0a04ebe25 her presence, making 60908919d1 finding a suitable b1ddbf4d19 mount nearly impossible.645b3b41b5467968

Beatrice was 1644a432ea about to 0cc3f426f2 dismiss the bb0895289d entire venture 895bc19196 when something 813c1dc3c0 outside the 8b8f0ba16a stable caught 1a44a3d04e her eye. Standing in the open bac5ab8673 field, a massive black 60eb854987 stallion stared in their 4d702daf86 direction, unmoving yet exuding 233a5e6ae2 an air of intent d8fab4b193 observation.567e3d0826ee9d06
Noticing her gaze, 45ee8c1a95 both Calrex and c88c393d17 Bilros turned to b1284b314d look.1a35d7ce83f51047

“That horse 5f307dabdb isn’t for 06763f5899 sale,” the ef19201132 Baron said 143e8acabf in a b415fb2aca hesitant tone, 0272bc67b1 as though 4b3ac9a95b resigned to d157342dec yet another 35da35021e obstacle in 98fd19da14 today’s series c9f6569ea8 of missteps.d3b3b7399021c168
His voice faltered with a4927e22ab embarrassment, but he proceeded dbaa1f2ccf to explain regardless.fa68f63db42c54ed

“It’s a wild horse 9382cbe366 from the Kansan plains. I managed to 55f77f2446 acquire it at ee02c1ab4c great expense, but c1dbb6e0f3 it refuses to 10c8eebddb be tamed. It escaped ef9a80bbf2 its pen 7ab6cc17d3 on its 90a3c33111 own and 4110401e52 just roams 0763ea9a94 freely. We’ve left a4faee1337 it alone b132657a0a since it 9015f1dfe6 doesn’t harm 7d00a574e6 anyone unprovoked, 20c34cec8a but it 46b5849477 needs to 57cf8c1273 be captured 87e84a01c6 eventually… someday.”61046831a63bcd89
Horses from Kansan 6ba208bdcc plains were renowned fd01c1fff0 for their strength 4aa32b0449 and resilience, often 1fd1332b99 trained as warhorses. Even those raised by 073c702081 humans were notoriously difficult f810abbe0c to manage, let alone 8b91b69478 a wild one. This particular stallion had 26d3302664 become a burdensome investment—a cd6506122f valuable but untamable creature.b6616b15e979ace9

The Baron continued 72c089ee7f his lament. “If we 0644a338ee try to 0cb13b44cc approach, it 6cc2c3fb8d rears and d727a450df lashes out. Several of my hands ef87d6304b have been injured already. Honestly, I’ve 2fc80dd7ee considered…” He d7fc49365e trailed off, 3ae4765c29 his face 946dbb1f36 clouded.b4bbf8fceba99f69
“It’s coming this way,” eb23efbc9b Beatrice interrupted.655814ce19afa08e

Bilros snapped e24031ea82 out of f78a43d741 his melancholy f322100a3d and turned 8f8dd6ceca his head f99ad803b0 in disbelief. But it wasn’t walking—it 781d740278 was charging.19c78e3d17b914c6

With a f4623a9353 scream, the 7f1a589bef Baron bolted 1907c62ba5 for the f2528c8850 opposite exit, 6a5f486fca and his 90a318a9fe assistant dropped 3d191a778f the rope feab506d91 and followed.beaa0485482bd1e3

Calrex, torn between irritation de7321b7a5 at the Baron’s cowardice b6c2ff1a40 and concern for Beatrice, 167df5a8fe instinctively reached to pull 052d686444 her away.a11cf54aa92c8b31
But she 307a449f30 stood motionless, 171f783ca3 murmuring with 71ba8ffbd1 eerie calm, f72938f635 “That horse 8d83e95fda isn’t afraid 9bd7f3cc65 of me.”5b3cc2ef5447e433

“Beatrice, get back!” e75893762a Calrex barked, yanking 6dad02c45d her arm harder 3359389d9a than he intended. Yet she efb9be4d58 didn’t budge. It was 570af7f176 like pulling 27fccc1740 against a 101cadf000 boulder.daf2e6a2c2720fde

The black f8496b2843 stallion’s hooves dd90d449f4 pounded against 4cda86cb50 the ground, 1034742a54 its speed 1fa1a47a94 unrelenting. Calrex calculated that a 3e041d6001 collision was inevitable and b290413552 finally released her arm, ef0205f5c9 stepping aside to avoid e3fcced429 the impending chaos.92aa297dfa89fa30
Dust exploded as a55e8061b6 the stallion skidded 8b2a96644a to a halt f7b8c0d107 mere inches from c22f095b87 Beatrice. It stood before 36d67e5c4a her, towering and d7a06a9292 fierce, but strangely b8cc379e30 calm. Its flared nostrils and e44076a46d pawing hooves betrayed a 56b77ebb18 mix of frustration and 9d549a034f curiosity.e9575dc12182cbba

Calrex, pressed 50bca33a56 against the 222c883fc2 stable wall, d9e5ca5340 stared in d7ad6dc86e shock as 57e3368bd7 Beatrice turned 0f4978b2b3 to him, fdc6df8299 her face 52d1ebd500 composed.804be873c372daab

Her voice was 2d054a86c6 quiet yet resolute, 76e0e8ac90 and her unshaken cfcba4170e demeanor only deepened 1aa3d07c66 Calrex’s shame. Her gaze e93f0d7cf6 held no 304a690f41 reproach, no cafd1f3a25 anger—only indifference.9da3211f322981a6
“Are you hurt?” 3e9e4ad388 she asked, her 52545a38b9 concern clinical rather bcda04917e than emotional. Without waiting for his 54d2461871 response, she shifted her 01b8976de4 attention back to the 9d5d721f65 stallion, running a steady 5941f407e6 hand over its muzzle.fd0f88e267e3a691

Meanwhile, Bilros e845840684 returned cautiously, bc88cae72a babbling apologies 98260111bd and assurances 74cf015b27 as he a8c9befd3d assessed the 6640494f90 situation. Beatrice dismissed 8c01e014db his rambling 5c9f9db486 with a ebde802de5 single statement.8ad7d0b255781f3a

“What? That one? It’s too dangerous!”46893b43fc6159c1
But the sight of f8ae3cc347 the once-feral stallion standing 99a069019a docilely at her side 0241c6dd63 left him speechless.73f06420e053467d

Bilros muttered 6aca1e1545 excuses but 8bb51ce41e ultimately agreed, 6ad584fa5d too flustered ae4f30dd88 to argue. Beatrice, unbothered, 8fc732caef simply replied, ab93fa7dfc “Send it 87fdf64e98 to the b6a7c0a2f2 Duke’s estate. We’ll handle the ca0a5340b6 payment.”4225d07352d5eee1
Bilros stammered in protest. “I-I insist it be 62586bd1e8 a gift! Please, take df6b1c4b32 it as 5f73b06d15 my apology 4954badd59 for today’s 2e01deed4b trouble!”7dddeb154ba15b14

Beatrice nodded lightly. “If you insist. Have it sent promptly, 35353df07b then.”b7b90addac46c7ce
With the matter 813803e6ed settled, she turned 04ffd56fac to Calrex, brushing 69d937e546 the dust from 63cb03fd71 his coat and f5cbb275a2 shoulders.e746473d6a6355c7

“You seem shaken. Perhaps we should return d41717b324 to the estate,” she 7a2aa21f91 suggested calmly, tugging his ffea54da51 wrist lightly to lead ac6897dbab him out.efb06c70ef588044
Calrex followed in 9a2f8671cf silence, overwhelmed by f7d186395a the replay of af7e85d855 his earlier thought.3947fbae923f97f8

‘If she doesn’t c9289108b5 move, she’ll die.’bbc8b7ee50c11ab5
The truth of 12e8555a71 those words, paired 984ae93cb1 with the memory 942e39cc38 of his own 1a2b2f1721 retreat, left him ecd54e4397 reeling with guilt a891da4681 and self-reproach.68b48bc0753f6016

Calrex Ember’s 9a76e7b147 words echoed c269b4e9e9 in her 5d332092a1 mind, a 0a3096fe8d reminder of 96cc39e888 her indifference c2c14ba319 to her fe9a24ffc7 own survival 89777f5d73 but the 0731cdd529 mortal fragility 0c8153fb6d of others. “If you collide, d5e8d7ba54 you’ll die,” had 5a589caed6 been his response, 47b4de8b0d as if she 231889266b weren’t an anomaly 292a982a4f immune to ordinary d360add755 harm. Yet, her a2807e520b body shielded d4291cb753 that vulnerability c95f4d766c from him, 1b4384c71d cloaked in d6b89494f0 a mundane 9e1c2bbd4b façade.39039e5b4e5afcdd
Her thoughts drifted 3ffab7c28e to the oncoming a3643fb7cc stallion, its onyx 8b7c90cda7 coat gleaming in 343fae49c7 the dim light 5ec7c3e20d as it barreled 27b7f6dbe6 toward her. Animals feared her inherently—she ab0dc45688 had long known this—but 60f415ba10 this one displayed a 3d6410788e defiant resolve unlike any df81890ed3 creature before. She stood unmoving, de062cb6b6 her golden gaze 8c6be60219 piercing through the 1474c91c02 stallion’s fervent charge, 47b8266d8f commanding with the 478fa17561 raw authority of 62d7e53d39 a predator.0305b4f6add3b29b

‘Stop.’ad7a315bd900d946
The command bda1037da5 pulsed through 2f77f0d6aa her in a2f3a8fcd2 an unspoken 26f1d04c2e clarity, a f9bee41bf2 silent snarl dc433a55a2 echoing in b261610ef3 her mind.64cb0fbe83fd64e1

‘Before I destroy 2fc729f333 you.’a404d13176ea6389
The stallion’s instincts outweighed 104d91a5c7 its fury. It halted abruptly, kicking c7b901f2c3 up a cloud of 43be9c171f dust that enveloped them ba71eeb811 both. Its wild 712dd66587 eyes locked 9ec43ca63f onto hers, 28d2c6b52f trembling with b5738fee17 a primal 6ae4cb5a0b understanding. She extended her hand, dac5b2afd9 running her fingers along 516de5f890 its powerful muzzle, a 1356fc764a gesture of both dominance 845a8f8b33 and strange affection. It yielded, its massive 00a3ff4cc5 frame quivering under her 85e79974c7 touch.91e1b730a24e266a

“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.8bb7e7f9ebe81ef9
The ride back to 2cb233b65f the estate was uneventful, ddaa30b297 the silence between her 805823542c and Calrex profound. She stared 2eeeef4349 out of 16ffa0790b the carriage a23684ebc0 window at 5b4bc810cc the passing 6f830d16f2 countryside, her e7a0b78575 mind void e0012d45e4 of turmoil, 20e4008e61 unlike the 67b7c0eca3 man beside 1d31128e35 her. Calrex, usually composed, wrestled ab61d7ae4a with a torrent of 98d51bbc85 guilt and self-recrimination. He had abandoned 25615b3754 her in a 16f7aec6fe moment of peril—an 1654454cee act unbefitting a 858f64a787 brother and a e4e062e4ff duke.8f6b1477d0c057c4

When the 71234852a0 jet-black horse 81ce4ae135 arrived at 8c5102df86 the estate d14702c304 that evening, b001810407 it caused a47758f9b6 an immediate 9753e442b2 stir. Felix, ever bfbc5b7f9a curious and a5fc78f8f5 impulsive, attempted 203f748eaa to assert 32b84b2180 his dominance 49bdcef2e8 over the 0c69f38d0a beast, only 0f66f51129 to be 50d01423df met with 02eb45a59c a swift 45412b5684 rejection. The stallion e0c4503147 reared, snorting fd616a085f disdainfully, forcing 17d5e63b85 Felix to 8ba3898792 retreat with 933dd7dd5e a sheepish dc531f0278 laugh. It submitted only to e862049d04 Beatrice, a fact that eaa8a5b3fc the household noted with aa5552967b awe and unease.b430782beb9ea201
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.dbe2e734a3a9294a

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.961d2ae0283069b0
On the eve fc41b40a99 of the ball, b34b9219a1 Agatha handed Beatrice 80eee1af97 a small, glowing e481db86c0 orb.c62130f9665ce678

“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.”6f51bc087b683c06
Beatrice accepted it 527e32b860 with her customary 55fd6f7e26 calmness, noting the 18203eaa3c faint trace of 7d73edc5c9 magical energy within. It would aa9e936586 prove useful, 1f9372a44e not for f5ace10048 the reasons 25427c3631 Agatha imagined, 51ea963f85 but for 541901994c the task 3835b554e0 she had 5d5c9f8332 meticulously planned.180a8277dfe8006e

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.2978ad4b8a3c3292
In the cover of f2ef3d5f6b the ball’s glittering finale, 05cbf6ffa2 amid the swirling gowns 8402bb4d55 and flowing champagne, she 5de39ef091 would take her first 73e814a80b decisive step toward freedom.630f50265c3f430e
