He chuckled at her response to his threat "Oh really now? I'm pretty sure it was because of my threat... But whatever you want to believe princess" He teased once more with a playful grin

"I believe it because its true, peasant." She lifted her chin mockingly and pretended to look down at him. She poked him and stood up. "Are you good or do you need a little longer?" She tilted her head down at him, the slightest bit of concern lacing her voice.

He let out a small laugh at her response before shaking his head at her actions. He nodded and stood up slowly with a big stretch "Yep all good" He said before poking her on the cheek "Now stop being such a worry bug and tell me if theres anymore chores"

"No." She grumbled, grabbing his hand and intertwining their fingers. "That was it. Can we go now?" She tilted her head up at him, an excited gleam in her eyes.

He smiled as a small red blush crossed his face when she intertwined their fingers. He gave her hand a small squeeze "Yes let's go" He lead her quickly to the stables and let go of her hand to pull Monty out, who he quickly tacked up and mounted. "Ever ridden before?" He asked as he held a hand out to help her get on

"I've ridden lots, yes." She got on smoothly, wrapping her arms around his waist tightly, excited. She peeked her head over his shoulder happily.

"Good" He smiled as she got on but when he felt her arms wrap around his waist with a tight hold, his blush deepened on his face. He kept his blush hidden as he urged Monty up into a canter so they moved out of the castle grounds quickly

She settled her head on his shoulder as they rode, giving a happy sigh as she stared out at the environment. "What's your horses name?" She leaned closer to him so he could hear over the wind whipping by, basically whispering in his ear.

He started to relax more as they rode along, not really caring about her touch anymore. When she did whisper in his ear he kind of froze up, the blush on his face rising again "Uh.. This is Monty" He stuttered out slightly as they started to draw near the village

"That's a nice name." She nodded, leaning back and looking forward over his shoulder.
