“It’s the first snowfall.”

The air in the carriage was stuffy, so Lara opened the window. It was snowing heavily. Konny held one hand out of the window with her mouth open. A precious snowflake fell on Konny’s small palm. It dissipated as soon as it touched her skin, leaving moist water in its place.

“These snowflakes are really big, milady.”

The snowflakes were large, the city was large, and even the entrance gate was large. There was no inspection, but as the road was blocked because of the snow, carriages still lined up and moved just as slowly.

“It’ll be quite a sight tomorrow if it snows all night like this.”

The wolves were also quite relaxed now. When they entered the city, they felt like the fatigue they had endured all this time had caught up to them all at once.

Dandelion was bigger than what they heard. The land was so huge that they could not see it all at just one glance. It was filled with complex buildings, the roads were intertwined like spider webs, and there were people everywhere.

The tallest buildings in Hautean were the Royal Palace, the temple, and Isadora’s hotel. But in Dandelion, there were even more buildings that were even taller than those in Hautean. Public carriages carrying dozens of people wandered in a line. People were so busy that one could spend the whole day just observing them.

“Just 8 silver! Luxury bag by an artisan! On sale for only 8 silver!”

“How dare you…Get out of my way! Do you have a death wish? Or are you still wet behind the ears?!”

“You bragging that you’re old? Huh?!”

It was noisy and complicated. They had just passed the entrance gate but it was already so hectic. Lara felt like her ears were tingling even though she was still in the carriage.

Compared to this place, Hautean was a quiet and elegant country. She now understood why scholars called Hautean a noble state on the border area.

“Whew, is it because of how big this country is? The people’s voices are loud too. Should I close the window?”

“Yes.”

When Konny was about to close the window, Demian, who had been insisting to sit only on the coachman’s seat, approached them on his horse.

“Lara.”

Unlike the other people who tightly wrapped themselves in cotton and fur coats, he was still wearing only light travel clothes and a cape.

“Did you call me?”

“Where are we going”

“Since everyone is tired… First of all, we’re going to my mother’s hotel.”

“Then, I will take Acerus to where you will be going.”

“Are you going right now?”

“Yes, I have to go meet him first.”

Lara was a little surprised but soon nodded. Demian came to Hautean at the order of the Crown Prince Acerus so there would be a lot to report and a lot to talk about.

“I’m planning to go to the sanctum tonight. For some reason, I think God will be anxiously waiting for me. Even though he would pretend that was not the case.”

“Already?”

“The sooner, the better. Besides, I’m not that tired.”

Demian seemed to be thinking about something for a moment. Then, after telling Lara to wait at the hotel, he quickly rode off on his horse.

“Let’s go.”

Lara and the rest of the party headed to Isadora’s hotel in Dandelion.

The hotel was very big.

“This hotel…belongs to my mother?”

“Yes.”

“That one too?”

“Yes.”

“Since when?”

“It will have already been 20 years soon.”

Lara stood in front of a huge and elegant-looking hotel. Rather than a hotel, it was more like a small castle. There were several such buildings alongside it. It seemed like all the most luxurious carriages on Dandelion street entered the hotel. The hotel’s general manager said he had been contacted in advance, so he came out to welcome Lara.

“The hotel’s name is…”

“It’s Lara’s Garden.”

The general manager was smiling brightly, but on the other hand, Lara’s face hardened. The heat that started from the back of her neck spread to her cheeks.

The name of the soon-to-be 20-year-old hotel was Lara’s Garden. It was such an obvious name that anyone could tell that Isadora was the owner.

“Milady, you’re embarrassed, right?”

Konny smiled brightly.”
