CHAPTER 67. Icy Glare

   

  The journey to the Northern Kingdom was uneventful to say the least. Augustus kept himself busy with the array of books he bought along the journey. It was nice of him to offer me one instead of letting me wither away in boredom. Occasionally, Anne and Rodrick would start bickering outside and that was when I found out Augustus could voluntarily filter out noises but just completely ignored it. I wish I had that ability but alas, I was forced to play mediator to stop them from annoying each other to death.

  It took us nearly two days on the road to reach the borders of the Northern Kingdom and we were harshly greeted by the fierce weather. Back home, we never had the cold season hence I found myself shivering from the chilly weather even when I was dressed in thick clothing. Augustus on the other hand was completely unfazed.
