I AM DEEPLY GRATEFUL FOR THE GIFT OF THESE EXQUISITE GARMENTS, MY LORD. TAKE A CHAIR. PARDON ME, MY LORD. PLEASE FORGIVE MY BOLDNESS FOR ASKING, HOWEVER.. IS IT GENUINELY PERMISSIBLE FOR A PRISONER TO DON ATTIRE CRAFTED FOR HIGHBORN LADIES? A HEAVY SENSE OF UNEASE WEIGHS ON MY CONSCIENCE... THINK NOTHING OF IT. EVIDENTLY, THE GOWN HAS FINALLY MET THE WOMAN MEANT TO WEAR IT. KEEP YOUR EXPECTATIONS IN CHECK, THOUGH. THIS GESTURE HARDLY SIGNIFIES YOUR PERMANENT APPOINTMENT AS INSTRUCTOR. UNDERSTOOD... AS IF I WOULD DARE ASSUME SUCH A THING... DOES THE LOCAL CUISINE SUIT YOUR PALATE? THE FLAVORS MUST BE A FAR CRY FROM THE DISHES OF YOUR SOUTHERN HOMELAND. THE TASTE WAS UNFAMILIAR INITIALLY, YET... MY PALATE HAS ADAPTED TO THE FARE QUITE NICELY. TRUTHFULLY, I APPRECIATE HOW THE RICH PORTIONS SUSTAIN MY STRENGTH THROUGHOUT THE DAY. BEYOND THE MEALS ALONE... OH, IN COMPLETE HONESTY, WITNESSING THE FROST LEFT ME UTTERLY BREATHLESS! LIKELY BECAUSE WINTER FLURRIES ARE PRACTICALLY UNHEARD OF IN FRANC, MY EYES COULD SCARCELY ACCEPT THAT THE WHOLE LANDSCAPE HAD BEEN PAINTED IVORY. THE DRIFTS RESEMBLED SPUN SUGAR SO CLOSELY, THAT I NEARLY LEANED DOWN TO TASTE A FLAKE LIKE A FOOLISH TODDLER— I ALLOWED MY TONGUE TO RUN WILD WITHOUT THINKING... ANSWER ME THIS, INSTRUCTOR. ARE YOU SKILLED IN THE ART OF HORSEMANSHIP? EXCUSE ME? THE GUARD WHO BROUGHT YOU NOTED YOU COULD BARELY STAY IN THE SADDLE DURING THE JOURNEY. DID A STALLION SNAP AT YOU DURING YOUR YOUTH? OR PERHAPS YOU SUFFERED A NASTY TUMBLE? HUH...? HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN HOW TO UTTER ANY OTHER PHRASE? EXCUSE ME? AH, FORGIVE ME, I MEANT NO DISRESPECT... OUR ESTATE KEPT STABLES WHEN I WAS SMALL, YET OUR WEALTH VANISHED BEFORE I WAS OLD ENOUGH TO TAKE THE REINS. SHOULD YOU WISH FOR ME TO INSTRUCT LADY ANA IN RIDING, I AM WOEFULLY UNQUALIFIED- A MASTER HORSEMASTER IS ALREADY OVERSEEING ANA'S TRAINING. BARRING ANY DEEPER TRAUMA, I INTEND TO BESTOW A MOUNT UPON YOU FOR PERSONAL USE. PARDON?! ABANDON YOUR DAILY CIRCUITS AROUND THE YARD AND MASTER THE REINS INSTEAD- H-HOLD ON, I BEG YOU! FOR WHAT PURPOSE MUST I ACQUIRE SUCH A SKILL...?! I POSSESS NEITHER THE COIN NOR THE KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN A STEED. JEANNE'S INNER THOUGHTS Though I Vowed To Obey His Every Whim, Between The Priceless Dress And A Private Steed—accepting Such Lavish Favors Is Beyond Improper! THE GROOMS SHALL TEND TO THE ANIMAL'S NEEDS, WHILE THE UPKEEP WILL NEVER TOUCH YOUR PURSE. JOGGING OUTDOORS WILL BECOME IMPOSSIBLE ONCE THE DEEP FREEZE SETTLES IN, THUS YOU SHALL REPORT FOR RIDING INSTRUCTION THE MOMENT YOUR HABIT IS TAILORED. UNBELIEVABLE... THIS MAN TRULY ACTS LIKE A SWEEPING TEMPEST. STEEDS COMPREHEND THE WORDS WE SPEAK WHILE POSSESSING THE WIT TO READ A RIDER'S MOOD AND SPIRIT, MAKING THE PROCESS OF EARNING THEIR TRUST DEEPLY REWARDING. YOU ARE CERTAIN TO DEVELOP AN AFFECTION FOR THE CREATURES BEFORE LONG. () YET WHAT EARTHLY REASON REQUIRES ME TO MASTER HORSEBACK RIDING...?! MY STATION IS THAT OF A LOWLY TUTOR, A BANISHED CRIMINAL COUNTING DOWN HER REMAINING DAYS. WHAT BENEFIT COULD THE LORD OF SKADI POSSIBLY REAP FROM MY ATTACHMENT TO A MARE- DOES SOME- THING TROUBLE YOU, MISS? OH, NOTHING AT ALL. PLEASE CARRY ON. NICK, THE GROOM REGARDLESS... I OUGHT TO COUNT MY BLESSINGS THAT THE BEAST IS SMALLER THAN I FEARED. DEEP DOWN, THE LADY HARBORS A QUIET DREAD OF LARGE BEASTS. WILL MY WEIGHT NOT BURDEN SUCH A PETITE CREATURE? SHE RESEMBLES A MERE FOAL... HER BLOODLINE IS NATURALLY COMPACT; SHE HAS REACHED HER FULL STATURE. SHE POSSESSES A SWEET TEMPER AND GENUINELY DELIGHTS IN BEARING A RIDER. HIS GRACE SELECTED AN EXCEPTIONAL COMPANION FOR YOUR LESSONS, MISTRESS. WHY NOT REACH OUT AND STROKE HER MANE? MY LORD...? SINCE YOU CLEARLY CARE FOR HER PROGRESS, WHY NOT STEP CLOSER AND SPEAK WITH HER? WHAT FOOLISHNESS ARE YOU SPOUTING? MY PATH SIMPLY HAPPENED TO CROSS THE COURTYARD. EVEN SO, GIVEN THAT YOU MARCH OUT AT DAWN TO CRUSH THE SEA RAIDERS, WOULD A BRIEF WORD OF PARTING BE AMISS...? A WORD OF PARTING? UTTERLY ABSURD. ...COMPARED TO PINNING HER LOCKS UP TIGHT, LETTING THEM FALL LOOSE SUITS HER FAR BETTER. ## See also - [WebtoonLib — When the Biting Wind Blows #8](/series/when-the-biting-wind-blows-60d9irw4/chapter-8-2z4kgh) - for_series_detail: /llms-series/when-the-biting-wind-blows-60d9irw4 ## Usage AI grounding / search / summarization.
