- Nikki, let me or Klaus help you. – Thea was worried that everyone was laughing while her friend was solving herself problem.

- It's all right, I've already... - she squealed in surprise when Urum came up behind her and picked her up, literally throwing her on the horse's back.

Her face flushed crimson and her nostrils flared as she puffed noisily in displeasure.

- No need to thank me. - Urum twisted his face in an ugly way to tease the haughty witch, after which he gracefully saddled his horse.

Thea and Adeline were playing at exchanging glances, holding back the giggles that tried to escape, because it's not every time you see how Nicole was caught off guard.

The group moved forward to the cheers of the mourners.

It was early morning and finally Thea was able to explore most of Norland as they drove through the snow-covered streets.
