The End of Everlasting Winter [I]

"The vine...it seems it was situated in the evacuation area of the capital city," Duke Darcy said as the trio was nearing the location of the Binding Vine Chain.

"The capital..." Elaina frowned. She is unsure what their main reason is for causing the winter to last for as long as possible.
