That Little Smile
“Hey, hey, take it easy. I won't hurt you.”
Learning from how to tame his horse, Cornell gently stroked the horse when it tried to struggle because Cornell was holding the saddle. Cornell waited until the horse was completely calm first before he saw the state of the horse.
From the start, Cornell had sensed something was wrong with the horse. But when Cornell looked down, he could hardly believe someone had left a trap there. One of the horse's legs was hit by the trap, so he could no longer go anywhere and turned wary of anyone who approached him.
When Cornell looked at the horse's neck, he actually found the Alison family's knightly crest there. The horse that Cornell had just found did belong to Valencia. But even after Cornell searched in various directions, he couldn't find the whereabouts of the person who was supposed to be riding the horse.
