I curtsied low to the queen. Trying my hardest to impress. I did not want to insult on my first day here.

The queen smiled at me as she told me to rise. "Grace, you are new here, and so I will give you this first day to explore my court. Your duties will start tomorrow."
"Thank you, Your Grace." I was amazed at the kindess her majesty had shown me, and I was obviously grateful.
I left the Queen and went to change into my riding clothes. No one would mind after all, and I had brought my own horse to court. He would need exercising.
Titan was an Arabian, and rather large for his breed, he stood at almost 17 hands. He was a black stallion, but he had a sweet nature. He wouldn't let any rider fall, and we had a strong friendship. He wouldn't let anything happen to me. My mother, if she had had her way, would have never let me ride him. However, from a very young age I had talent in riding, and so I had been instructed by only the finest riding teachers.
I walked down to the stables, searching the stalls for Titan. I didn't notice the large group of men gathered around the far stall, I found the tack room so I grabbed Titan's saddle and bridle. I continued down the row of stalls until realized that the stall with the group of men was Titan's stall.
I sighed and began to push my way through, entering the stall with my beast.
"You there, girl, who are you tacking that animal up for? He is Lord Dudley's is he not?"
I tried my best not to smirk as I buckled Titan's girdle.
"Nay m'lords. He is mine, I will ride him."
There faces were identical, and expression of pure shock on each man's face.
Then someone else entered the stables.
