After what seemed like ages, the wind lifted Elizabeth's long hair.
She gradually recovered from the nausea of the horse ride. She lowered her eyes and looked at the arms that held her, saying in a cold voice.
"Have you hugged enough?"
The man behind her suddenly paused.
"Let go when you're done. I'm going down to get the flag."
After she spoke, Elizabeth could feel Max freeze behind her. After a while, he slowly loosened his grip.
"Okay, let's take the flag first."
Max got off the horse and gave Elizabeth his hand, trying to help her dismount.
Elizabeth glanced at him, but she did not give him her hand. Instead, she got off the horse with difficulty.
Max's eyes turned cold when he saw that.
After getting off the horse, Elizabeth took a deep breath and then went forward to fetch the flag, but she didn't take the small box next to the flat. She wasn't interested.
