Winter in the Capital

Days after my birthday, it started to feel like winter was arriving in the kingdom.

While the town happily started to set up all their preparations for the cold weather, I couldn't help but feel a little sad, knowing that I wouldn't be spending that much time with Melina after the season.

Our meeting with the king had been postponed until now, so we had to go back to the capital in a few days.

The alchemists refused the option to go back to their homes in the capital during winter. They didn't even want to stay in my house in End Town. Instead, they all wanted to stay in the tree house.

They had heard from Reinar that new materials sprouted during winter, and every single one of the alchemists was excited about the prospect of going out in the cold to look for new ingredients.
