As they moved deeper into winter, the air was so cold outside that it began to needle at the skin Whilst they walked through the courtyard that was covered in a thin veneer of snow, Camilla had heard about it frohten out your back!”

Camilla slapped the s sound echoed through the deserted garden beside them Alois, as if startled by the sudden sound, quickly stretched out his back that was hunched over just a second ago
