Jade The Star Racer Part 3
Jade and Skywind were steadily making their way through the pack.
"The racers are coming toward the finish line with Sir Jaden in the lead!" the announcer exclaimed.
"Go! Sir Jaden! Hurray, Sir Jaden!" the crowd in the stands all cheered.
Jade and Skywind crossed the finish line in first place.
"Sir Jaden wins! Sir Jaden wins," the announcer shouted. "Sir Jaden wins!"
The other racers crossed the finish line.
"Hold it! That's no racer! That's a girl!" a man shouted.
"It's Princess Jade! Disqualify her!" Salazar ordered.
"What? No! I only did what I did to prove to Mister Montgomery that girls could race professionally! That way, you could change the rules!" Jade protested.
"Is that true, Princess Jade?" the first man asked.
"Yes, Mister Williams," Jade answered. "it is true."
Caleb Williams, the new blacksmith was the man who lived with his wife and two boys in Jade's old house.
"I'm so sorry, Princess Jade," Caleb sighed. "but the only person who can change the rules is King Roland."
"Well then," Jade told Caleb. "I'm going to have a little chat with King Roland about this."
At Enchancia Castle that evening, Baileywick entered Roland's study.
"Princess Jade is here to see you, your majesty." Baileywick said.
"Send her in." Roland commanded Baileywick.
"Jade," Baileywick said. "you may enter King Roland's study."
Jade entered the king's study and saw the king's stern but kind face staring back at her.
"Are you as disappointed in me as my parents are, your majesty?" Jade asked in a nervous tone of voice.
"No, Jade," Roland said. "I am very proud of you! I am so pround of you in fact, that I am going to let women compete with men on equal footing on the professional flying derby racing circuit."
Jade hugged Roland.
"Yes! Thank you, your majesty!" Jade exclaimed, releasing the king.
"I know that your precious Skywind would like to come and go as he pleases," Roland told Jade. "so, I'm going to meet with Miss Flora, Miss Fauna, and Miss Merryweather about having a special stall with a back door just for him in Royal Prep's stable."
"Skywind and I would be happy with that." Jade said.
A little while later, Jade was on Skywind's back for her ride home.
When Jade felt a rope around her body and Skywind's body.
"Well, well, since this is a wild horse, that means he is fair game! Such a shame you won't sell him to me!" Salazar said to Jade.
Salazar untied Jade and forcefully removed her from Skywind's back.
"No! Skywind!" Jade called out.
Constable Miles and a few other guards ran out of the castle.
"Now see here, what's going on?" Constable Miles asked Jade.
