Cassiel observed the situation in the stable. It was the smaller one as it only housed the pureblood belonging to the dukes and his family.
The two strong stallions that were used by him and Ophelia in their leisure time were the stars of any horse collection, but the real treasure here was the smaller pony that he went through many difficulties to get for Violet.
Despite its appearance, the mount was a truly rare breed with only a few individuals left in the world. It was prized for its mild and easy-going temperament but was also known for its unmatched high speed and seemingly endless stamina and loyalty towards its rider.
It took him three years before they found the person willing to part with a such good animal, but Violet was so intimidated by the horse riding that she couldn't accept the gift and the pony remained as part of the duke's stable.
