Winter finally passed, leaving behind a sense of silence in everyone's hearts. Now, they resumed their activities with renewed enthusiasm. The Duke Zareth Castle, which was previously quiet and deserted, transformed into a lively hub filled with laughter and busy footsteps, as if everything was back to normal.
Winter, or whatever it's called, in the north is always adorned with white snow covering everything. Whether storms come or not, the cold always seeps into the bones, reminding everyone that in the north, warmth is just a distant hope.
Liv experienced her first winter in the north successfully. Although she felt bored and uncertain at times, her relationship with Jay grew much closer than before. Apparently, their union was the way of the Zelthar descendants to grow closer to their true partners a tradition that brings intimacy and strength amidst the cold seasons and hardships of life.
