Capítulo 66: Wretched Sparks - Part 4

Despite the camp being full of people, Cele had only Rudolf and Kaifin to accompany him, considering they were the only fools that didn’t speak Burkean.

The material shielding them was rough canvas lined with fur, and it held heat tremendously well - so much so that Cele had to shed some layers to get comfortable.
