"Maybe," he answered. "Maybe not. I'm not sure, but one thing I could be sure of is this; you better brace yourself. What lies ahead might surprise you. Break a leg! Hyah!"
The monarch that was left behind spat on the ground. He kicked his horse, but the animal neighed instead, suddenly afraid of something.
