It's just like lovers' coquetry, but William looked at her angry expression and couldn't really take it as coquetry. A man who can influence Elena's emotions is closely connected to her past. William doesn't want to admit it, but he's already clear about this man's identity.
When he looked at Elena again, emotions were churning deep in his brown eyes.
"Don't be influenced, Elena. Take it step by step."
Rushing won't get you there.
William's gentle smile tugged at the corner of his lips as his hand landed on Elena's shoulder, soothing her gently. He could clearly sense the silent anger of the man. "...Mm, okay," Elena responded.
The sound of hoofbeats came again, and Osiris's horse came slowly but firmly to a position parallel to Elena, then stopped once more. Graceful, dignified, every movement and gesture revealed the noble temperament of this person. Even standing next to the true royal, William, would be confusing for people.
Osiris is indeed an outstanding and enviable man.
William withdrew his gaze and the hand on Elena's shoulder tightened slightly. "Now that you've learned how to make the shooting stars move and stop, I will teach you what comes next..."
His voice sounded a little different.
Elena had not had time to notice that he had returned to his previous calm and gentle demeanor. William continued to explain some of the essentials of horseback riding to her as if unaffected, but the gaze behind him became even colder, making even Elena feel uncomfortable. However, William did not let her turn around, instead he looked serious and asked her to observe the state of the meteor.
Under his leadership, Elena really started to study in earnest. Osiris could actually pull the reins and quickly run past them, but he didn't do that. Instead, he followed behind Elena, step by step. In fact, he can't even explain to himself why he's following.
He only knew that he didn't want to leave. He also didn't want they to be alone together. It's that simple.
"Aussie, let's go back, I'm so tired."
As the round ended, Amanda took the opportunity to get closer. If it weren't for Osiris firmly holding the reins, the horse would have definitely kicked her.
Osiris was silent for a moment, about to agree, when suddenly he heard Elena's voice. His hand, already prepared to dismount, suddenly tightened the reins.
"Wait for me a little longer."
Amanda was once again left behind.
"You're a great teacher. I feel like after a few more lessons with you, I could participate in an Equestrian competition!"
After one round, Elena was able to control the meteor and was filled with confidence for a moment. Just as she thought Osiris had finally left and William relaxed and chatted, suddenly she felt a cool breeze behind her. Then Osiris sneered and interrupted.
"Equestrian competition? Just you? Are you tall enough?"
Annoying guy!
Just dismounted from her horse, Elena was so angry that she wanted to kick his horse!
She must have been out of her mind to love such a bad guy so much in the first place.
"What's it to you?!" She was still annoyed.
"Hmph."
Another cold sneer.
It's as if stimulating her is something that brings great pleasure to people.
Her hands unconsciously clenched into fists, Elena was so angry that she really wanted to hit someone, but as soon as she raised her hand a little, it was pushed back down by someone.
The back of her hand was enveloped in warmth, and when she turned her head, she saw William shaking his head at her.
"Is this gentleman deliberately looking for trouble over and over again, isn't it undignified?"
William did not let go of Elena's hand, he just stood quietly, and when he spoke, there was a hint of coldness in his solemnity.
He always has a gentle face, but he is often forgotten. What is his existence in Country F like?
"Dignified? Being ambiguous in public, have you considered her situation? What about your dignity, His Royal Highness Prince William."
Osiris looked down on William arrogantly.
If at the beginning he only found this person annoying, now that he has recognized William's identity, he is filled with uncontrollable anger. Even if the other party is the crown prince of a neighboring country, this is Country A, not William's territory. "Of course—"
William suddenly came to a halt.
He looked at Elena instinctively.
She has never agreed to be his girlfriend.
So, what are they to each other? Just friends? His momentum suddenly weakened. "It's my freedom to date whoever I want!" Elena didn't want her ex-husband to meddle in her affairs, especially since he immediately embraced another woman after their divorce.
"You have no right to control me! If you have control issues, go control Amanda! I believe she would be very willing to listen to you."
Mentioning Amanda finally cracked Osiris's expression.
"Amanda has nothing to do with this."
He glared angrily at Elena, but she wasn't afraid of him at all. They have no relationship now. After that deal, they are complete strangers. She is not the silly woman trapped in her own love.
"You and I have nothing to do with each other," she said loudly, "You should know who you really are. Osiris, it's you!"
Sharp-tongued, this is definitely not the Elena he knows.
Although he has seen another side of her, every time Osiris can't help but doubt.
And now, looking at Elena's serious gray eyes, he suddenly felt uncomfortable.
