Chapter One Hundred and Two: The Duchess of Icetide

As soon as the sleigh entered the woods of the town of Icetide, it was like a transition from summer to winter. The trees were covered with snow, and the road was dominated by the icy and slippery snowpack. It was a good thing that the sleigh she picked seemed to have some years of experience with striding through the snowy road.

It was also a good thing that the gatekeepers were attentive enough to let them pass smoothly. The gatekeepers even greeted the Empress with a smile. They had a harsh weather, yet they were still working diligently. Such an outstanding discipline and a model to everyone. 

The closer they are towards the central square, the clearer and louder the faint cheers were. Haneul was expecting for the merriment of the townspeople. Rather, this was the event Sentinel Stefan mentioned.
