Contrasting Perspective on Horses: Mountain Clan Father-Daughter Duo

Mmphhehe.

A deep, rugged male voice echoed in the small room.

Oh! How splendid. This beautiful chestnut-coloured coat, these toned buttocks. Truly irresistible!

While stroking the sleek, beautiful legs, the man grinned broadly, almost overflowing with delight.

Ah, how lovely. You are my daughter. My beloved daughter.

Then, the man kissed the tip of the snout of the horse that was standing in front of him. With clear eyes, framed by long eyelashes, it looked straight at the man. The man let out a sigh of satisfaction as he gazed at the beautiful, moist, jewel-like eyes.

Oh, how beautiful. So beautiful. Just you wait, Ill bring you a new friend soon. Hehehe.

Father, thats gross. Youre really disgusting.

In response to the sudden retort, the manSan Fuumaquickly turned around. And there stood his real daughter, giving him a cold, piercing gaze.

She stood at the entrance of the stable, shaking her head as if to say, Good grief!

What are you saying? Appreciating horses is a refined hobby. Look at her perfect coat, her sleek body, and long legs. Theres no other Moonhare as beautiful as her. Its only natural for someone to be captivated by her!

With these words, Fuuma pointed at the chestnut horse, his adopted daughter, and raised a voice of protest. However

Father, youre being really creepy.

His daughters attitude didnt change. In fact, she seemed even more exasperated. Perhaps that was unavoidable.

The daughter, influenced by foreign cultures, had dressed herself in clothes from the Principality of Belluga. Ribbons from the Miranada Kingdom adorned her long hair, which cascaded down her back. She was a young girl, in her mid-teens, an age where wanting to be fashionable was only natural.

In the old days, she used to ride her horse and gallop across the grasslands.

Fuuma felt somewhat lonely.

Nowadays, she would only ride horses about seven out of ten days. Oh, how lamentable.

That frequency actually meant that she rode quite often!

Listen, my daughter. We are an Equestrian people. Our power and prestige are measured by the number of horses we possess. While it might be a wise decision to adopt good things from foreign lands, we must not lose sight of what truly matters. Horses are everything. Horses are our life!

The Mountain Clan was one of the twelve clans of the Equestrian Kingdom. Second only to the Forest Clan, which was the largest in terms of power, the Mountain Clan served as the town warden, protecting the Southern Capital. It was also known as an enlightened and rich clan that proactively interacted with other countries and incorporated various cultures. The Mountain Clan maintained close ties with the military of the Kingdom of Remno, even dispatching several riders to provide horseback riding instruction. Despite belonging to the traditional and often conservative Equestrian Kingdom, the Mountain Clan was relatively open to adopting other countries cultures due to these circumstances.

And the chief of that clan, San Fuuma, was famous for being a genuine horse lover, and commonly referred to as a Horse-maniac.

Father, you are misunderstanding, right? Its not that I particularly dislike horses, right?

The daughter tilted her head, unsure if the foreign-like expression felt quite right. In reality, the Mountain Clan, being the town warden, did not ride horses that frequently. In comparison, riding horses seven days out of ten, would actually make her a horse lover worthy of being the daughter of the Horse-maniac in Chief.

Its just that I dont like to confine horses and admire them like Father does, right? Ah, that right just now felt good, right?

Good Grief, thought Fuuma as he shook his head at his daughter, who was nodding in satisfaction.

Oh my! What are you talking about? Although there is no one but you to inherit my horses. Well, thats fine. As my treasure continues to grow substantial, the day will come when you will understand as well. Hehehe, if the prized horses of the Fire Clan are added to my treasure, it will be enriched further. Ah, Im really looking forward to it. Hehehe.

Fuuma, who had a creepy and disgusting smile on his face, suddenly turned to face his daughter, as if he had just remembered something.

So, what happened?

Ah, yes. You see, a messenger from Chief Mayun of the Forest Clan came.

Oh! From the good-natured Chief Mayun? What did they say?

It is about the Fire Clan, that Father seems to be so obsessed with.

What!?

Fuuma jumped in surprise, his shoulders shaking. Seeing this, his daughter let out a sigh.

Were you up to something reprehensible again?

I-I didnt do anything wrong! I simply believe that good horses should be owned by those who appreciate and deserve them

Fuuma continued to speak as his daughter glared at him.

Oh, besides, I didnt do anything wrong, okay? I just asked to be presented with horses in exchange for money and food.

On hearing that, the daughter exclaimed, Ah! and looked up at the sky.

Buying horses from our own clan? That is likely to become an issue at the meeting of the Clan Chiefs. Wait, does that mean when the Fire Clan was in trouble before, you were buying sheep at high prices for that reason?

Sheep and goats are important sources of food. If you raise them normally, they will give birth to offspring, and their numbers will increase. They are considered assets that will continue to increase in value just by holding on to them. However, if you let them go in a temporary moment of poverty or hardship, all that remains is just money. And money is something that will eventually vanish as you continue to use it.

Did you think they would sell their horses when they ran out of food and were in trouble?

Fuuma got flustered, his eyes darting around, as his daughter confronted him.

No, its not like that, you know? If you were a horse-lover, you would understand, wouldnt you?

Seeing her fathers state, the daughter let out a deep sigh.

It seems like this matter will be dealt with at the Chiefs meeting.

He shook his head in shock.
