Alexis And Andrea

***

A horse-drawn carriage that bore the crest of the Kingdom of Nieverdell and several escort horses had crossed the border between North and South. They proceeded at a moderate pace.

The snow that covered the road didn't stop them. The carriage continued to move smoothly.

In the carriage, Prince Alexis was reading his book. He tried to keep himself from complaining about his sister, Andrea. They had been riding for three days and three nights from the South to the North which as far as the eye could see, was always covered with snow.

Andrea had put on her warmest clothes but still, the wind of the North could come in, which had made her always cold since they arrived.

"I hope Arielle can survive in the cold like this. Don't let us come just to see the girl frozen and motionless," Andrea said as she pulled her jacket closer.

Alexis frowned.

"Brother, don't you feel cold?" the girl asked her brother, Alexis.
