How to Live as the Enemy Prince Chapter 4.2

Chapter 4 . 2

It was afternoon . Calian felt exhausted after trying to reassure his seventeen-year-old attendant who was worried out of his mind about his injured hand .

He made his way to his horse riding lesson and came across Franz, who was mounted on a steed . There was another horse who looked at Calian with round, gentle eyes .

Calian didn’t say a word . The previous Calian was terrified of the creatures, and when the memory came to mind he pretended to cover his face .

“Is it too dangerous for you to ride, little brother Calian?”

Franz!

Calian looked towards his voice . Franz was looking down at him, sitting atop a silver-white horse that was clearly of good breeding, and Calian wiped his expression .

Franz’s eyes glimpsed the bandages wrapped in Calian’s hand and he laughed again . Calian furrowed his brow, but he turned his eyes away to avoid further falling for his provocation .

Then a horse caught his eye . It was the second horse Franz brought out with him . Calian examined the horse with interest and immediately admired it .

‘That’s a very good horse . ’ 

It was completely black save for its white foreleg, and its mane and tail were well-groomed . Its tightly-knit muscles and sleek body told him that it was a far superior horse than Franz was riding now .

“This horse is stubborn, so I plan to ask my Master to help me tame it . ”

Franz was a wild and violent man who had never knew how to ride a horse properly . But Calian could not draw his eyes away from the black horse . After seeing this, Franz addressed him again .

“If you can ride it, I’ll give it to you . If you can’t then apologize to me for what happened at breakfast . ”

Yan took a step forward unknowingly, worried that his master would fall of the horse . Franz glared as he caught sight of that annoying attendant again . First the attendant wanted to block the knife throw earlier this morning, and now he wanted to stand in his way again .

He acted like he was Calian’s guardian, instead of his servant .

Calian noticed Franz’s reaction and stepped in front of Yan . He returned Franz’s gaze and answered calmly .

“Alright . ”

Calian walked slowly past him towards the horse’s side . The horse had a strong resentment and anger towards people because of Franz’s treatment . The beast showed a firm determination not to give in to the second prince .

Calian smiled deeply when he saw such a creature .

Calian’s soft-eyed look changed in a flash . It was a look of murderous spirit, one that had cut down so many lives so he could survive .

The three-year-old horse, who had grown up in a good environment, could not withstand Calian’s cruel gaze . It was as if the pressure of a thousand glares bore into him instead of a single person’s .

The horse was shaken .

Soon, the horse’s eyes turned as docile as a pony like earlier . Only then did Calian withdraw his pressuring gaze .

In the end, the black horse didn’t refuse Calian’s saddle . Franz was in disbelief, as he thought he knew the horse’s true personality .

Yan, who knew well that Calian had never practiced horse riding, was thrilled .

‘My prince, that story must’ve worked a miracle on you!’

Yan who believed that Calian read the story about the knight, so it was fair to say he didn’t suspect anything .

Calian patted the well-behaved horse in the neck .

“Raven . Your name is Raven . ”

Perhaps understanding the meaning of his name, Raven neighed at the words of his new master . Grinning, Calian turned his head and looked at Franz .

“Thank you . ”

To some extent he was sincere, as it was a good horse . Calian added in jovially,

“Elder brother Franz . ”

It was a very pointed remark . Franz’s face hardened .
