"It's snowing, such a heavy snowfall. It makes me think of the night you picked me up..."
Murphy hovered in the snowy night sky, looking down at the snow-cloaked Crimson Castle, and said to Triss beside him:
"I still don't know why you picked me up that night when I was almost dead. Was it just because you felt I was handsome and it would be a pity if I starved to death on that dismal night?"
"Pfft, shameless, who praises their own looks?"
Triss extended her arms in the air to catch the snowflakes and retorted with a poker face:
"Your thick skin, even among the generally shameless vampires, is quite remarkable. Just think I had a moment of kindness that night. But this snow is indeed heavy. According to Transylvania's weather in previous years, there should be at least three more snowfalls in the next two months, and then the colder early spring will come.
What's worse for this year, when early spring arrives, this land will face another challenge.
