章節 699: Lanta's return with some news

And so it begun, a time of coldness that was colder than any winter outside. Scarlet and Esong avoided being in the same room together.

Sometimes he slept in the nursery and she could detect his energy in the mornings after he left.

So far, at least, something good had come out of the holiday they were taking in their relationship.
