Chapitre 177: Chapter 176: Terrifying Night on the Snowfield

```

"Lord Russell, Knight Commander Karis!" Lord Stephen, with his long, horse-like face, responded indifferently from the northeastern corner of the campsite.

As a fellow lord, it was only proper for Russell to come over and greet him.

However, seeing that Lord Stephen was not enthusiastic, Russell couldn't be bothered to make further conversation and went back to his own campsite.

Knight Commander Karis quickly followed suit, "Lord Stephen is always like that, cold to everyone, even when meeting the Earl, he's the same. Don't take it to heart, Sir."

"I haven't." Russell smiled, "It's been a hard day, Knight Commander Karis, let's have a glass of frozen grape wine together."

"As you wish." Knight Commander Karis readily agreed.

Once personal servant Ram had prepared the evening meal, the two sat on the ground and, with a simple dinner, sipped the frozen grape wine in small mouthfuls.
