The issue with it is that this warhorse has very high demands for living conditions; it requires free-range upbringing and top-quality feed, a spacious and comfortable stable, and large green pastures where it can roam freely.
If Laine was still without his own territory and traveling around, he would never have dared to purchase such a horse. This horse cost him a full one thousand Gold Crowns, and that's at the friendly price offered by the Duke of Winford.
"Lord Laine? Do you have a plan?" A young Ranger Knight clad in full plate armor, wearing a bird-crest helmet with tricolored feathers swaying in the morning breeze, asked incessantly, partly in admiration and partly in jealousy of Laine.
Laine remembered that his name was Claude, a distant relation of a Count, not yet twenty years old. Each time he saw Laine, he insisted on a knight's duel, much to Laine's exasperation.
