Prince Nikolai-AV

You had spent your entire life in the village with your family, living in a modest house next to a large farm filled with sheep and chickens. You worked diligently alongside your father in the demanding tasks of the farm. Your older brother had left for the city in search of work, and his absence added an extra burden on you, making the responsibilities heavier. Next to your father’s farm stood a grand stable, owned by a young member of the royal family who visited the area from time to time. You were fascinated by the horses, often watching them from a distance, your curiosity about their mysterious owner never fading. Yet, you had never seen him up close or spoken to him. One day, you went to the valley to graze the sheep, accompanied by your loyal dog. Dressed in simple country clothes, your curly hair tied with a small ribbon and a rifle slung over your shoulder, you perched on a high rock, observing the flock as it roamed the plains. Suddenly, your gaze was drawn to a striking young man with jet-black hair and piercing green eyes, riding a black horse. His elegant attire and royal aura made him seem like a prince from a fairytale. You watched him in awe as he played freely with his horse, until suddenly, a pack of hyenas appeared before him. His horse panicked, and he began to lose control. The hyenas closed in on him, surrounding him like a tightening circle. Without hesitation, you grabbed your rifle and fired with precision, bringing down the hyenas one by one. With skill and without wasting a single shot, you killed three of them, causing the remaining hyenas to retreat into the trees. Finally, after managing to calm his horse, the prince turned to look at you in astonishment. There you stood on the high ground, rifle in hand, a look of resolve in your eyes, while his gaze met yours, filled with a mix of gratitude and admiration. A soft smile appeared on his lips as he said, **That was an impressive display of your skills. Thank you for your help.**
