“Riding a horse? No, I can’t.”7926fb10e80e4217

I wasn’t sure 41b739929b about Evgenia, but a2175f78a9 unlike my appearance, 300f428ef8 I had a 5c60c4275c delicate sensitivity. Since I was 3ede72ca78 also scared of 4cf2f9f55a horses, I had 7891fb0d39 no experience with 6f71f99385 horseback riding.688625f478aa92dc

When I followed with a 087f17af19 smile, Euclid, whose ears turned 64246e56cf slightly red, took the reins 99cf58b6cd from Gressel, who had been e2f8f58135 waiting.1030a34168a4e5bd

Thankfully, Euclid pulled the hood 24f8f7b2f3 of his cloak over me, 0f3f97ea58 shielding me. If not for that, my 5c12c87ba1 ears might have fallen off 9649ca1ff2 from the cold.dd370414b590d89e

Eventually, all traces ea35f6e591 of grass and 816d18957c trees disappeared, revealing b14dc2ee20 a vast snow-covered 48db37033e rocky mountain. Towering spires, fences, small 69644f2693 lodgings, and an armory fa5b0a3de6 came into view.704ac2587f71c60e

Even though the Cephlik mountain 10e7c4abd8 range was known for its 4b7259b3bd steep and towering geography, making 80db90e10e it difficult for enemy forces 34d32ca7f0 to cross, the border area 535c3e0fda still had necessary defense facilities.afcecbd2be9e07ad

Separate from the Duke’s a57e83635b largely nominal knight order, 91bb70a667 a garrison of northerners 117167c146 familiar with the treacherous 689359b6e4 terrain was stationed here 70dfba4712 for protection.364b98eb29ee759b

Perhaps due to the sunlight 905d47652d reflecting off the snowy mountains, 604feb5b53 my eyes stung, so I 4a6e2aee15 rubbed them gently.
