85 - Surprise to the Crown Prince.


A few days before the Crown Prince went to the Royal Academy.


In particular the King ate breakfast with the Queen and Arsha for wanting to convey a surprise to Arsha before going to the Royal Academy to attend school.


After breakfast together, the King asked Arsha to follow him to a place to show the surprise that had been prepared there. The Queen also went with her husband and son.


"Where do you really want to take me? When I'm gone, what surprise will you give me?" ask Arsha


"You'll see later. I hope you like the surprise" replied the King


"Do you know anything about the surprise you're gonna give me?" ask Arsha


"Absolutely not. Your father prepared this surprise himself secretly without compromise with Mother" replied the Queen


"Then, where is Aunt Yura? I wanted to see the surprise that Dad had with him" Arsha asked.


"Dad told the waiter to ask your aunt Yura to be in your surprise first place before this, so she must have been there waiting until you came ... " clearly King


"I'm getting curious" Arsha muttered


Yura went straight to a place as the king's servant had said. Apparently, Arvan was already there.


"You're here, too, apparently. Were you also asked by the King to come to this place?" ask Yura


"Yes, the King wants to prepare a surprise for Crown Prince Arsha before going to school to the Royal Academy" Arvan replied


"so, apparently. So, this is a surprise for Arsha? A white horse?" ask Yura


"really. Because Arsha has learned even like riding, the King wants to give a horse to be Arsha's own," explained Arvan


"The pretty horse. No, because it looks like this is a stallion, so this is a handsome and gallant horse" Yura said


"True, this horse is a male. Do you really like horses, Yura?" ask Arvan


"Yes, I love horses like I like guns. I also want to collect horses in every color. However, because it never dwells the same place because it always wanders before, so I have not had time to realize this desire," said Yura


"In most girls prefer to collect dresses and jewelry, but you are very different".


"I like that too, but not too much. Like it's not what comes first" Yura said


"It seems you like beautiful things without distinguishing them" said Arvan


"Indeed right. In a moment, I want to take something that might be needed later," said Yura who immediately switched away from there.


"Yura wants to collect horses. I will remember this .. "inner Arvan with a smile.


There Arvan single-handedly held the horse restraint rope while waiting for Yura to return. Also waiting, the King, Queen and Arsha are yet to come.


Continuing to follow the direction of the King's path, finally Arsha and the Queen arrive somewhere. It was an empty grassy field within the Royal Palace. There was Yura and Arvan, and a white horse.


"How, Arsha? Do you like the surprise?" ask the King


"Dad gave me a horse as a surprise?" ask Arsha


"really. You want to have your own horse, right?" ask the King again.


"Yes, it's true. I really like the surprise, Dad. Thank you very much" said Arsha


"Sama-sama, Son. This is an immature teenage horse. Not too high nor too low, so it's perfect for you. I'm sorry, I just gave it to you when you wanted to go to the Royal Academy" said the King


"No problem, Dad. After all, I have only learned how to ride in recent times. As long as I go to the Royal Academy, surely me and this horse have both grown big and tall" Arsha said


"In the meantime, Auntie will take care of and train this horse of yours to become a smart and tough horse. Take it easy," said Yura


"Indeed, but that too we both just found out today before you came. His Majesty told Uncle to help prepare a surprise for you" replied Arvan


"Even Auntie only found out after Uncle Arvan before you came just now" Yura said


"Are you happy, Arsha?" ask the Queen


"Of course, Mom. I'm very happy," said Arsha


"So, who'd you name this horse, Arsha?" ask Yura


"True, you have to give him a name. Father also had a horse named, Bastian . " said the King.


"Can Aunt find a suitable name for this horse?" ask Arsha


"Asking Aunt for help choosing a name, it could be. Since this is a stallion ... how about, Philip?" ask back Yura who gave her advice.


"Philip, the white horse. Good name, I agree .. " replied Arsha


"Then, you should start familiarizing yourself with your horse from now on, Arsha. This is Auntie brought carrots as food. You have to feed your own horse" Yura said, taking out a carrot from a sack full of carrots.


"Alright, Aunt. I'll do it like you taught me," said Arsha while picking up a carrot given by Yura.


Arsha walked up to the white horse that was already his and began to thrust a carrot on the horse that had been named Philip.


At first the white horse that was still a teenager was shocked when suddenly someone appeared before him. However, for a long time the horse approached and devoured the carrot that was thrust by Arsha on him. Arsha smiled as her horse began to chew the carrot from her.


"Eat and have nothing to fear with me ." said Arsha, speaking to her white horse.


"good. My name, Arsha. And now your name is Philip, now that we are good friends, yes . " Arsha muttered as he stroked and stroked the head of the white horse.


"Do you want to ride the horse? Then, you should also learn to saddle on the horse's back. Aunty will help teach you how" Yura said


"Yes. Please help her, Bibi .. " said Arsha.


After feeding some carrots to the white horse, Arsha took off the restraint straps and began to attach the saddle to the horse's back with the help of Yura before riding her new horse.


"Now show us your riding skills here. Do as you've learned before" Yura said


"I understand, Bibi .. " said Arsha.


Arsha started riding her horse. With a slow movement the white horse began to run over Arsha's control.


With several strokes on the control rope, Arsha began to control the horse's pace to run at an average speed.


"Unexpectedly, Arsha was able to carry a horse running so fast when it had not long started practicing .


"Is it harmless to him?" asked the Queen who was worried to see her son running on horseback quickly.


"I as his teacher will be responsible if anything happens to Arsha. However, I can guarantee Arsha has learned well and will be fine" explained Yura


"You are a great teacher, Yura ." praised Arvan


"It wasn't me, but Arsha was a talented student. She was very quick to understand whatever she was taught" Yura said


"However, he said the ability of a disciple was passed down from his teacher. You've passed your talent on to Arsha unnoticed" said Raja


"Thank you for your praise, Sire King ." said Yura.


"And what I said earlier was also a compliment, but why do you seem happier when the King praises you, Yura? Are you really not looking at me?" inner Arvan who felt sad.


After several rounds, Arsha stopped his horse. It was then that the Crown Prince was flooded with several praises for his ability and talent on horseback.
