Snow forest- Part 1

Madeline, who was sitting in the carriage, looked outside the window where the buildings passed one after another as the carriage pulled through. She saw the people walk up and down the streets while some of the carriages moved past them. 

"The town seems so peaceful," murmured Madeline under her breath, her brown eyes leaving the sight of the outside world and looked at Calhoun who was looking at her with a faint smile on his lips. "What was the paper that you wanted to collect?" she asked curiously.

"It was regarding the land dispute that was taking place not too far away from the castle. Were you bored while waiting for me?" asked Calhoun, his eyes slightly lighter than the usual dark red she was used to. She wondered if it was because they were out now. 

Madeline shook her head, "I would have been bored by sitting in the mansion too. For a change it is good to be out here with you."
