Chapter 243: Rinella’s Destiny is Her Own (36)

“The Yurdina family’s knights are known for their fierce temperament.”

Despite inviting me to the military post, Seria still felt the need to warn me.

Then, the rhythmic clattering of hooves reached my ears, signaling the approach of horses.

The Yurdina family’s soldiers were stationed near the border of the Percus Territory. The distance was too great to travel on foot.

So, Seria and I opted to ride horses, something we hadn’t done in a while.

Footwork and riding were areas where I had some proficiency. I took pride in my abilities in the saddle.

Seria, raised in the northern region, renowned for its cavalry, was even more adept at riding than most cavalrymen.

Thanks to that, our conversation flowed smoothly as we rode.

“Northerners have an unyielding sense of pride. They never bow their heads unless they personally acknowledge someone. It doesn’t matter if you’re noble or commoner… There’s a chance that they’ll try to test you, Senior Ian.”

“Even if I am their young lady’s guest?”

“Yes, actually… I haven’t been fully acknowledged by my vassals either.”

Seria’s bitter smile spoke volumes.

It didn’t seem like she was trying to scare me with exaggerations.

Then, the answer was clear.

Her blunt words likely reflected the truth.

Despite being an illegitimate daughter, Seria was still part of the Yurdina bloodline. It was surprising that even she struggled for recognition.

In terms of skill, Seria was certainly not lacking.

In the end, I could only swallow nervously.

The test from the Yurdina family might be more daunting than I had anticipated.

“It might be a bit difficult to gain their full cooperation.”

“Yes, maybe… Still, I was thrilled when my sister first assigned me to command the soldiers.”
