He nodded once more at the request and made sure to take some personal time off every once and a while to pursue things other than being a guard. There were many things to do in the city and it would be difficult to not find something to do. When he looked at her, she beamed at him brightly and took off. A small smile took his face as he gave her a few more seconds to move onward, then spurred his own horse and easily caught up to the princess. His horse was made for this, his size and strength only helped his racing skills and speed. He stayed next to her, but occasionally drifted behind her to make her feel like she was doing well, but at the end, he spurred his horse again and easily took the lead, circling around Anastasia as she came to a stop. He acknowledged what she has said about the field and stopped his horse. "Yes, it isn't very large, but there are other, more open areas just outside the city. I wouldn't advise it, though. If people find us and ambush us, I am only one man, and it would take too long for the guards to get there."
