"What now? I already paid him, and the matter is already resolved!" the horse owner looked at Drystan with an unsatisfied expression.
"That matter is resolved indeed. However, you still owe to the horse. You mistreated her, and to be precise, you whipped a pregnant mare," said the knight.
"What are you trying to say? I own her! I can treat her whatever I choose!"
"No! Whether you own them or not, you should never engage in animal abuse! They can feel pain and have sentiments too. Even though the law does not specifically address this, it is common sense that everyone should possess," Drystan said.
"I am a businessman! If my horse cannot work, my entire business suffers! She would be useless to me! I need her to work and generate profit!" the horse owner protested vehemently.
