Blizzard

It seemed like just a few days ago, Arielle refused Ronan's request to stay in the North, and she was very happy to hear the news that her father had found a pair of wolves.

But why did it feel so empty now?

Arielle shifted her position and rested on her side. She watched the fox sleeping on her bed.

Arielle's goal in learning to read and write was so that she could survive in the South and search for work. But would everything be that easy?

If Arielle lived in the North, then what about the birds that always awaited her, or who would water the flowers in the Cathedral gardens? Arielle would miss the laughter of the kitchen people in the palace.

However… why was her heart so heavy at the thought that she would leave the North? Even her heart ached at the thought of her leaving the palace and the people here.

What if she couldn't see them again after she returned to the South? What if… His Majesty the King forget about her while she was away?
