King Zane seem to notice his daughter's distress but before he could talk their carriage came into a rough halt, making them fall forward from their seats. A loud muffling was heard outside the carriage for a few seconds and it stopped. Wanda's heart was beating fiercely, hammering against her ribcage as if it wanted to leap out and escape for its dear life. 

"I think playing chess till this late is a bad idea. Or deciding to go back home this late is a bad idea." Wanda shivered and King Zane covered her with his coat. 

"I'll go check what it is." Kim Zane said and Wanda looked at him with an expression 'Are you nuts' "Don't worry sweetheart, I'll be okay."

Before Wanda could say a word, he opened the door and stepped out. A gust of wind blew into the carriage fanning Wanda's face fiercely. It was snowing heavily which was a bit of a surprise. They were nearing the end of winter already, right?
