Chapter 59 Save Beauty
Hiss~
Gervis rode to the gate of the inner castle in a trance, and dismounted calmly. But just as he stood still, he heard a horse neighing.
“I’ll go!”
Gervis quickly turned his head to look for the sound, only to see that the horse under Anna had somehow lost control. The horse, which had been strolling leisurely just now, had started to run, swinging its body as it ran. Anna, who was sitting on the horse, was like a lone leaf in the waves, flying up from time to time with the horse's jumping, and could be thrown off at any time.
Gervis took a deep breath. If Anna was thrown away, she would definitely be injured, and his literate personal maid might be wasted.
Without thinking any more, Gervis ran towards Anna.
"Hurry, the horse over there is frightened! Go and save it!"
After Gervis rushed out, other people in the castle, including Audrey who had just arrived, also discovered Anna's condition and rushed over there quickly, shouting.
Anna felt that she had a bad day today. She made a mistake when she served the lord for the first time in the morning, which angered the lord.
The same was true for horse riding practice. Everything was going smoothly. Under Thomas's instruction, she was able to control the horse a little. But just now, Anna saw the lord and wanted to dismount quickly to greet him. In a hurry, she failed to control the reins well, and her body was unstable. She accidentally hit the horse, and the horse began to speed up. For Anna, who had only been riding for half a day, it was very dangerous for the horse to run.
Anna lost control of the horse in panic. The horse ran faster and faster, and its body was constantly shaking while running. Anna, who had no experience riding a horse, was shaken dizzy by the horse. Seeing the horse rushing straight towards the house in front like crazy, Anna felt that she was dead.
At this moment, she was thinking about her sick mother. She was wondering if the lord would blame Butler Thomas if the horse was injured, or blame Yura for asking her to select a maid. She was also thinking about whether she would become very ugly if she fell to death like this.
Listening to the whistling sound of the wind, Anna felt a little unwilling and reluctant, but there was nothing she could do. She could only pray that if the horse really hit the house, the horse would not be hurt.
"Should we let go of the reins now? That way the horse will stop, right?"
Suddenly, an idea came to Anna's mind. She didn't know much about horses, but she felt that if she was no longer on the horse, the horse would no longer run straight ahead, and the horse would not be injured, and no one else would be implicated. As for herself, Anna felt that even if she continued to stay on the horse, she would suffer the same injury when she crashed into the cabin again, so it would be better for her to let go and protect this precious horse.
"Oh my god, this silly girl!"
Seeing the frightened horse carrying Anna closer and closer to the cabin and about to hit it, Gervis discovered that one of Anna's hands had loosened the reins. He was very anxious. If this continued, his personal maid would be gone in a moment. Gervis was already very close to the horse.
"drink!"
Gervis roared and quickly used his fighting spirit to strengthen his legs. He jumped up from the ground and flew onto the horse's back like an arrow. He sat steadily behind the little maid. After sitting firmly, Gervis did not dare to delay. He quickly grabbed the horse's reins and pulled it hard to the side. The horse was pulled by the reins and finally stopped sprinting in a straight line. It turned half a meter away from the wooden house and finally avoided the fate of being hit.
Although this horse is not a top-quality warhorse, it has been trained. When charging, it will charge straight in even if there are mountains of swords and forests of guns ahead. It was for this reason that Anna and the horse almost lost their lives. Fortunately, Gervis saved the situation with the blessing of his fighting spirit.
Anna had already made up her mind to let go. Just when she let go of the reins with one hand, she suddenly felt a force coming from behind. Then a pair of hands passed over her shoulders and snatched the reins from her hands. Anna, who felt something strange, finally opened her eyes. When she opened her eyes, she found that the crisis had been resolved. Anna turned her head slightly to look behind her and found that it was the lord.
Anna's eyes were slightly red, but she didn't dare to speak. She was a little relieved, but also a little frightened, and didn't know what to do for a moment.
…
After the horse turned the corner, there was an open space in front. Gervis pulled the reins to control the horse to slow down slowly, and finally stopped the horse.
"Are you okay?"
After the horse stopped, Gervis lowered his head to look at Anna in front of him. Seeing that Anna was a little dazed, he thought she was frightened, so he asked.
"No...it's okay, Lord, Anna deserves death..."
When asked by Gervis, Anna finally reacted and remembered that she almost got into trouble today. She quickly lowered her head and apologized to the lord.
"It's okay, at least you're okay. Be careful when riding next time and don't be impatient."
Gervis interrupted Anna's words, and looking at Anna's cute and well-behaved appearance, instead of being angry, he felt a sense of accomplishment because he was a hero saving a beauty.
"Am I a member of the Appearance Association?"
In the eyes of other nobles, this should be considered a very serious mistake. Not only would Anna be punished, but Thomas might also be scolded.
Horses are more valuable than serfs. This is absolutely true in the minds of any noble. Even the serfs themselves think so. Only a time traveler like Gervis thinks that human life is more important than horses.
Seeing that there was nothing unusual about Anna, Gervis put his hands under Anna's arms, gently lifted Anna from the horse's back and placed her steadily on the ground, and then he got off the horse.
"Thank you, Lord." Seeing that the Lord was not angry, Anna had mixed feelings, especially when the Lord lifted her off the horse without saying anything. She felt shy instantly, and she blushed and lowered her head, not daring to look at Gervis again.
"Yeah." Gervis didn't realize that his actions just now were inappropriate. He just wanted to ensure Anna's safety, so he put Anna down from the horse first.
After getting off the horse, Gervis did not notice Anna's embarrassment, but waved to Audry and other servants who came running over.
"It's all right here. Go to the inner fort and call out Chef Jimmy to deal with the body of the storm wolf. Otherwise, the meat will go bad if it's left for too long."
"Yes, sir."
Everyone looked at Gervis with admiration. When Gervis was running to save people just now, everyone finally realized that Gervis was different. It was impossible for an ordinary person to run so fast, and he jumped onto the galloping horse with ease.
"Sir, have you become a titled knight?"
Among all the people present, only Audry came from Gandalf's territory. Although he did not have much interaction with Gervey originally, he had some understanding of Gervey. Gervey did not have a good talent for cultivation, which was something everyone in Gandalf's castle knew. However, Gervey broke through to become a titled knight less than a week after leaving Gandalf's territory, which surprised Audry a little.
"Yes! Just yesterday." Gervis smiled and nodded to Audry. The other guards might not be surprised that he became a titled knight, but Audryk, Laurie and the other two knew him inside and out and would definitely be very surprised. However, it was no big deal. It was just a breakthrough to the lowest bronze knight, not to become a gold knight immediately, so Gervis was not afraid of them knowing.
It’s just that there was no good opportunity to tell everyone yesterday, otherwise Gervis would have announced his breakthrough yesterday.

I spent more than an hour revising this chapter, but I'm still not satisfied with it.
