The Snow Leopard Baby of the Black Leopard Family

"May the blessing of Crassion be with you," Iris said as she saw the children off. The children split into two carriages. Arne’s carriage wasn’t as large and spacious as Asterian’s, but it was designed for traveling over snowy fields and icy paths, making it perfect for this journey.

Ian Dross, Ludian, and Clemence shared one carriage, while Ferdie, Olivia, and Tiel shared the other. This arrangement allowed the two fire-powered ability users, Ferdie and Ludian, to keep the journey warm as they traveled.

"Tiel! Are you cold? I’m worried you’ll catch a cold! All this trouble because of that scoundrel Chender!" Olivia asked as she adjusted Tiel’s earmuffs, which she had been wearing.

"We haven’t even left Arne yet! I’m not cold, I’m actually too warm..." Tiel mumbled, glancing down at her clothes. She was bundled up in thick outerwear and a cape.

As they crossed Arne's border, the bitter wind hit them, a sharp contrast to the warmth inside the estate. Because of this, Iris had made sure the children were dressed warmly.

‘It was fine on the way here!’

‘It's different now. We're heading toward the land where morning doesn't come. The journey to that place is very cold.’@@novelbin@@

Recalling Iris’s words, Olivia covered Tiel with a blanket. Despite Tiel insisting that she was fine because she was a Snow Leopard, Olivia didn’t seem to hear her protests.

"Yes, Olivia, you're being a bit overboard."

Ferdie, using his ability to keep the inside of the carriage warm, clicked his tongue while looking at Olivia. However, Olivia, not noticing his comment, made sure Tiel was snug and satisfied.
