——Grand Duke Ivan transformed into a dragon.
This news quickly spread throughout the entire Winter Province.
It could not possibly be kept hidden.
Almost everyone saw it, a dragon with bright yellow pupils and scales as white as snow, wrapped in frosty aura, flew out from the Ducal Mansion. It circled and danced reluctantly in the sky above the Frost Speech Province.
As it flew out, the frost aura that condensed around it formed a white trail in the deep sky. Beneath the night sky, its frost-like scales seemed to be sparkling.
Following the trail of the dragon's flight, splendid snow fell into the great barrier. Plants that caught these crystals would bloom pure white flowers next year.
If one were to eat these flowers, it would usher back calmness to hearts filled with sorrow, unease, and fear...
——This was the last gift to the people from Ivan Winter.
