The next morning, after a hearty breakfast of eggs, toast, and freshly squeezed juice, they were ready to hit the road again.
Kaisen noticed the princess was nowhere to be found.
He checked the hallways, the gardens, and even her room, but there was no sign of her.
He wanted to ask what happened, but with Alice by his side, all smiles and giggles, he decided to keep his mouth shut.
On the bright side, Kaisen finally managed to ride the horse without looking like a complete fool.
It took a lot of coaching from Alice, who was laughing more than instructing, but he got the hang of it.
Somehow, the feral horse didn't act up when Alice tried to pet it.
She even managed to ride the horse first, helping Kaisen climb up behind her.
They rode together for a bit before she let him take the reins.
It wasn't the most pleasant experience for him.
