Celebration (1)

After Cecilia's treatment was finished, the other soldiers and knights came back.

They had brought back Cecilia's horse and the priest.

The priest was just unconscious because he had overused his mana. All he needed to do was rest up and he would be fine.

As for the horse…it had a broken leg.

Anyone that took care of horses knew that this was basically a death sentence for a horse. It would be very unlikely that it would recover from this and even if it did, it wouldn't be able to run like it did before.

The smarter thing would be to put this horse down to save it from suffering.

But Baroness Rose wouldn't allow that to happen.

She had heard from the men how this horse had protected Cecilia and fought with her against the Goblin General, so she wouldn't let them repay its valor with cruelty. She made sure that the horse got the best medical care that it could get.
