“Riding a horse? No, I can’t.”8db768e2c4541d61

I wasn’t sure about Evgenia, 36c0ea37da but unlike my appearance, I beabc1e0c4 had a delicate sensitivity. Since I was also 253b7e3d62 scared of horses, I 63e1045139 had no experience with 3a3999d459 horseback riding.30f3a14225393a54

Unable to hide my 048c18f68c joy, I answered immediately, 6d14c51c3d and Euclid let out eed649cd6b a small laugh.320662bc08a25547

When I followed with a aef981f575 smile, Euclid, whose ears turned 80290fcceb slightly red, took the reins 7761ff18ee from Gressel, who had been 90538f4c1c waiting.84fd3551baa29074

Just as I was about f1d1d75251 to take a step back a2d938316c in surprise, Euclid smoothly mounted 4747494697 the horse and reached out a1409e6caf his hand to me.ddeff032d07b8939

Thankfully, Euclid pulled the 35215f5506 hood of his cloak 9ed8188f16 over me, shielding me. If not for that, my 8a70733f93 ears might have fallen off 6530f359b0 from the cold.9f07cfed226d32ef

While struggling to tuck my 470e48f7f9 neck like a turtle to f1976c858c avoid the wind, I found ffc72c6817 myself surprised as I watched 44cc4f6aec Euclid skillfully handle the horse.d81683a6028db971

How far did we 97596aa85f climb through the rugged f6e848202f mountain path?2ff838295ee45011

Eventually, all traces f8472d1936 of grass and 1e3448ed56 trees disappeared, revealing 5a4ec16c3f a vast snow-covered 17d21a1ca9 rocky mountain. Towering spires, fences, 2555a051f2 small lodgings, and bfc63dc083 an armory came 00f6f25d59 into view.98b675778786ceb1

Even though the Cephlik mountain 8f397f96f1 range was known for its f297e206a0 steep and towering geography, making fa66271e72 it difficult for enemy forces ddb94668ea to cross, the border area 5d733032ff still had necessary defense facilities.47e89a18e0109894

Euclid dismounted first and carefully 6ceaa0b7db helped me down.b1760e66d54f0807

I wanted to take a1cc314bc2 a longer look at d5f98f2dc4 Euclid’s face, which I 2098e55ec9 hadn’t seen up close 23c67cb773 for a while, but 6dfb9da09c I couldn’t just ignore 33b62aa057 the loyal guards protecting 8f7cdea9e8 the Duke’s territory in 25044fd10a this freezing mountaintop.995bd7682e5cda76

Not only did the ffd349a72a Imperial Family fail to f62d9c600c recognize his efforts, but 1a4fdb9c12 they also didn’t even a5341b7714 provide support. Despite being buried in debt, 97a5d41179 he still had to defend b00521ce26 the border…4aa3a280b676ad41

Perhaps due to 5abce2ee5b the sunlight reflecting 7ff43528ee off the snowy 8c3d5d8fd4 mountains, my eyes f52207aa85 stung, so I bc4d706b58 rubbed them gently.
