Arielle took off her coat and gave it to Tania, who started shivering on the carriage chair. Arielle didn't care about her own cold body as long as her maidservant was safe and warm. Every now and then, she rubbed her palms together for warmth.
Even though the car windows were tightly closed, cold air still entered through the small gaps. Every now and then, when her body couldn't stand the cold, she blew warm steam from her mouth.
In her sleep, Tania groaned which made Arielle more awake. She looked at her coat which had fallen off from her servant's shoulders. Arielle again adjusted her coat to cover Tania's entire body without leaving an opening.
The carriage stopped right in front of the Blackthorn palace and King Ronan finally dismounted from his horse. He ordered William to return the horse and he quickly walked towards the carriage where Arielle rode with her maid.
