STAY CLOSE TO ME. ...THIS STORM IS PROVING REMARKABLY STUBBORN FOR A MERE AUTUMN SQUALL. WHICH IS PRECISELY WHY I RODE OUT TO RETRIEVE YOU. TO RETRIEVE ME? BEFORE YOUR NEXT EXCURSION, YOU WOULD DO WELL TO CONSULT LOWELL REGARDING THE SKIES. I SHALL- GASP...! I-I ABANDONED POOR BRÜHL OUTSIDE! BRÜHL? ASSUMING YOU REFER TO THE MARE, PUT YOUR MIND AT EASE. A DRIZZLE OF THIS SORT WILL SCARCELY TROUBLE A NORTHERN STEED. Thank Goodness... I OUGHT TO HAVE INQUIRED WHY SHE BESTOWED SUCH A PECULIAR TITLE UPON THE BEAST INSTEAD. THIS AWKWARD SILENCE WAS NEVER WHAT I ENVISIONED... DISCOVERING HER FAST ASLEEP EARLIER, I LACKED THE HEART TO DISTURB HER SLUMBER. BECAUSE NEVER BEFORE HAD I WITNESSED HER FEATURES RESTING IN SUCH UTTER SERENITY. WHENEVER I STOOD NEAR, HER POSTURE REMAINED RIGID, FEARFUL, AND GUARDED. ALMOST AS THOUGH SHE VIEWED THE LORD WHO HELD HER FATE WITHIN HIS GRASP... ...AS A BRUTE SPAWNED FROM SAVAGE STOCK. ...EVEN SO, HAVE I NOT TREATED HER WITH CONSIDERABLE RESTRAINT? ? PULL M-MY LORD...? STOP SQUIRMING. SHARING BODY HEAT IS THE SUREST METHOD TO WARD OFF THE CHILL. AFTER ALL, SHEDDING YOUR SOAKED GARMENTS IN A PLACE LIKE THIS IS OUT OF THE QUESTION. HE MUST HAVE NOTICED THE TREMORS RUNNING THROUGH MY FRAME. UNDENIABLY, THE CHILL IS FADING AGAINST HIS CHEST... PARDON ME... DID THE EXPEDITION AT SEA CONCLUDE WITHOUT MISHAP...? LEADING YOUR FORCES INTO BATTLE SO FREQUENTLY MUST DRAIN YOUR STRENGTH. SUCH DUTIES ARE SECOND NATURE TO ME NOW. CRUSHING RAIDERS DIFFERS LITTLE FROM PATCHING CRACKS IN THE FORTRESS WALLS. REGARDLESS, IT IS ENTIRELY DUE TO YOUR VIGILANCE, MY LORD, THAT THE FOLK OF THIS FROZEN REALM CAN SLEEP SOUNDLY IN THEIR BEDS. THE PROOF IS WRITTEN PLAINLY ACROSS THEIR EXPRESSIONS. ACROSS THEIR EXPRESSIONS? INDEED. AS YOU ARE WELL AWARE, WITHIN THE ROYAL CAPITAL, EVERY WAKING HOUR BRINGS A FRESH WAVE OF COURTLY SCHEMES, ENSURING THAT HIGHBORN LORDS AND HUMBLE PEASANTS ALIKE, ARE ROUTINELY CRUSHED BENEATH THE WHEELS OF AMBITION. YET IN YOUR DOMAIN, THE TOWNSFOLK CARRY A TRANQUIL WARMTH IN THEIR EYES THAT IS A JOY TO BEHOLD. Even If Their Manner Seemed A Touch Gruff When We First Met, Hehe. WAS IT A SIMILAR WEB OF COURTLY SCHEMES THAT DRAGGED YOU INTO THEMUD? ...INDEED. REGARDLESS OF HOW FIERCELY I SWORE MY PURITY, MY VOICE FELL ON DEAF EARS. IN THE EYES OF THE POWERFUL, ULTIMATELY, MY LIFE WAS NO MORE THAN A CONVENIENT PAWN TO BE SACRIFICED. SURELY YOU HARBOR REGRETS OVER CHOOSING THE PATH OF AN INSTRUCTOR. NEVER, NOT FOR A SINGLE INSTANT. THOUGH I CANNOT GUESS HOW A GREAT LORD VIEWS SUCH LABOR, MY HEART SWELLS WITH PRIDE FOR MY CALLING. MY MOTHER AND SISTER PLACED THEIR FAITH IN MY SKILLS AND CHEERED ME ON ENDLESSLY. IN THEIR EYES, MY TOIL WAS A NOBLE EFFORT THAT PRESERVED OUR HOUSE'S DIGNITY. NATURALLY, BECAUSE EARNING WAGES DEFIED THE SACRED CUSTOMS OF THE PEERAGE, SOCIETY NEVER CEASED WHISPERING BEHIND MY BACK— YOU ARE WORTHY OF DEEP RESPECT. ANY LADY WHO WALKS SUCH A THORNY PATH WITH HER HEAD HELD HIGH, I MEAN. AH... RECEIVING PRAISE SO GENUINE FROM ANOTHER SOUL... ...MIGHT VERY WELL BE A FIRST IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. YOUR WORDS HONOR ME, MY LORD... IN THAT CASE... WHILE WE ARE ON THE SUBJECT, ALLOW ME TO POSE A SINGLE QUESTION. WHAT FEAT MUST I ACCOMPLISH TO FINALLY EARN THE TITLE OF "PERMANENT INSTRUCTOR"? NAME WHATEVER TRIAL REMAINS, AND I SHALL POUR MY VERY SOUL INTO PASSING IT. REGARDLESS OF HOW MANY WINTERS HAVE PASSED SINCE A WOMAN LAY IN MY ARMS... I AM FAR FROM SOME UNTESTED YOUTH... ## See also - [WebtoonLib — When the Biting Wind Blows #10](/series/when-the-biting-wind-blows-60d9irw4/chapter-10-swyjhk) - for_series_detail: /llms-series/when-the-biting-wind-blows-60d9irw4 ## Usage AI grounding / search / summarization.
