The next day, small white snowflakes slowly descended from the sky, and fell on the ground of the Land of Zephyra. Winter has arrived, and extreme climate change can already be felt. People in the Zephyra Kingdom began to wear their warm clothes for outdoor activities. Houses, shops, shops and other buildings have started burning firewood to create warmth behind the cold winter.
Wearing formal royal clothing was white, and a light blue scarf was coiled around her neck. Altezza began his day by walking around the palace and the capital. Not alone, the prince was certainly accompanied by his loyal bodyguard Kenan who walked right next to him. There was no definite purpose of his steps walking through the streets of the city, for his original intention was simply to take a walk enjoying the cold morning, he said, at the same time feel the cold snow grains that slowly make the view of every corner of the kingdom white.
"Sports, Your Majesty?" cetus Kenan, look cheerful this morning.
Altezza smiled at the question and replied, "is it not good to move your body in the morning? Moreover, we just had a change of season."
The capital of the Kingdom of Zephyra, is still crowded even though the climate has changed. Many horse carriages passed, loading merchandise, and also passengers who used the vehicle as a means of public transportation. There were a lot of children wandering around, running on the pavement happily, considering that this day was also a holiday for schools or academies in the Kingdom of Zephyra. In addition to children and adolescents, many adults are busy with activities, work, and,
While walking through one of the sidewalks of the capital's main streets, Altezza's eyes saw a familiar and familiar figure ahead. A girl in the uniform of the royal library clerk, a red scarf coiled around her neck, a warm red hat, and appeared to be standing by the side of the road, among the many people also walking around her.
Bianca seemed to be standing on the side of the crosswalk, waiting for the crowded street with the horses to be empty for her to cross. Not paying attention to the surroundings, his gaze was only fixed forward waiting until the right time for him to cross. The people around him looked surprised to see who was standing right behind the reddish-brown long-haired woman, and they lowered their eyes and heads to pay their respects.
"Hi! Alone alone?" cetus Altezza, already standing behind Bianca, seemed to be quite a surprise to the woman.
"Your Majesty?!" cetus Bianca, immediately turned back, staring with a wide-eyed look of surprise not expecting to meet the young prince on the street.
Altezza just chuckled and smiled broadly at the look on his face that looked as reddish as ever when meeting or with him, "how are you?" tanyakanya.
"Okay, Your Majesty." Bianca replied without further ado, standing by the road right next to the Altezza, waiting for the right time to cross.
It did not take long, especially when the horsemen who passed in the streets saw the figure of Altezza who was about to cross, they immediately slowed down and stopped their horses. Altezza then walked across the wide road, with Bianca walking next to him, and Kenan walking behind them both. The chariot drivers who dismissed their horses immediately lowered their gaze as the Altezza passed in front of them. Not forgetting to thank him, Altezza smiled, waved his one hand, and lowered his head slightly back to those who had already given him a way to cross.
"Where are you going? Go to work on a holiday?" altezza asked, walking on the opposite sidewalk with Bianca and Kenan.
"Of course, Your Honor, my work rarely has a red date. But before going there, I want to stop by the crossroads shop in front first," replied Bianca smiling with a foresight, several times looking down watching the steps of her two legs.
"How about yourself? Morning walk?" continued Bianca, had turned to look at Altezza with a smile that was still on its back.
Altezza smiled and nodded in reply, "the streets under the early snow of the season seem to be engrossed."
"By the way, shouldn't some of the library officials get a leave today, aren't you getting that ration?" cetus Altezza asked.
"Actually I can, Your Majesty. The head of the library gave me leave today, but I didn't want to take it" replied Bianca, without looking back or glancing at the prince who was walking right next to her.
Altezza frowned and spontaneously asked, "why?"
Bianca glanced at Altezza still with her smile, and then replied, "because if I take that leave, I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do, because I don't really have much to do other than work in the library."
The two of them looked engrossed in conversation, while Kenan just silently walked along wherever the prince went. Like mosquitoes, Kenan only listened to the conversation of the two of them from behind, even a few times had a small smile when he saw the young prince's attitude that seemed to soften when dealing with Bianca.

The throne room of the Zephyra Royal Palace. Welt seemed to report something to King Aiden, and was also heard by Queen Caitlyn. The first prince appeared to show his crystal ball and two black cover books in both hands. The first prince of the Zephyra then informed him of the uneasy feelings that had suddenly appeared last night. It explained in detail how the crystal ball had turned black all of a sudden, and it was so dense in color.
King Aiden was seen hearing carefully the explanation of his first son, as well as Queen Caitlyn who was sitting right next to the king's throne.
"just that? No other signs appeared?" asked King Aiden, after hearing everything that was said by Welt, even Welt also mentioned some sentences that he read from the two books he brought, and the sentences contained interpretations of the magic ball omens that suddenly turned black.
"Yes, it's just .. These two books have a lot of different interpretations" Welt replied.
The King and Queen looked at each other for a while, both thinking and looking puzzled, "for a while," said King Aiden then turned his head and looked back at Welt who was standing in front of him.
"Yes, winter is an extreme season for us, because it is certain we will need a lot of food and drink supplies, warm clothes, firewood, and much more," timpal queen Caitlyn.
The King and Queen did not seem to have much negative thoughts regarding the report given by their first son. What Queen Caitlyn said was true too, considering that the farm fields would not be able to grow throughout the winter, nor would farm animals be able to enjoy the vast prairie, he said, this also applies to fishermen who will find it difficult to fish.
But they still did not rule out the omens said by Welt. King Aiden ordered Welt to activate the royal sorcerers to remain on massive patrol and alert, especially throughout this winter.
