The Reincarnated Princess Travels North

“Hmm?”

Did somebody call my name?

I turned around. My eyes met Sir Leonhart’s, and he was tilting his head, looking puzzled. “Is something the matter?” he asked.

“N-N-Nothing at all!” His face was so much closer than I thought it would be... We were almost touching! It surprised me so much that I thought my heart had leaped out of my chest.

Serves me right for letting my guard down. Duh, Rosemary, of course his face is gonna be close... We’re riding the same horse!

My pulse had only just begun to settle down for the first time since I’d gotten on this horse, but now it was thumping relentlessly again. I clutched gently at my chest and took several deep, quiet breaths.

“Are you cold?”

“No, I’m fine,” I replied, choosing an answer that was easier to say than the truth. Honestly, I felt like I was boiling.

“The chill will get worse the closer we get to the border,” he reminded me, gazing into my eyes. “Be sure to tell me if you feel cold—I’d rather you not just put on a brave face.”

“I will.” He was so handsome when he made that serious expression, and I felt a new heat flood my cheeks. I pulled the hood of my cloak down over my face to hide my blushing, and the fur lining tickled my face.

This journey is gonna be the death of me, in more ways than one. Don’t get me wrong—I’m not complaining. I am happy, it’s just...

My heart’s resilience was being put to the test by the overabundance of Sir Leonhart. I was actually scared by how happy I felt. When I tapped a finger against my cheek, I could feel the heat. How am I this toasty when the wind’s so bitingly cold?

The horse’s hooves clip-clopped lightly down the hardened mud path, and I gazed out at the surroundings from my place on the saddle. A light blanket of snow dusted the side of the road, mixed in among leaves. Across the gentle incline of a hill, I could see a wall of towering, craggy mountains with white, snowcapped peaks.

Our journey would take us even farther north, so the cold would get much, much worse, just as Sir Leonhart had pointed out. The two of us were heading for a fortress on the border with Lapter, and we were going to meet the captain of the border defense force, who was an old friend of Sir Leonhart’s. Much of Nevel existed in temperate climates, but the northern region could be quite cold; in particular, the land that housed the border defense force’s fortress would be buried beneath snow all winter. Though the calendar indicated that spring was on its way, it would be some time yet before the thaw.

I had actually come prepared for the cold: My simple navy blue dress was made of wool, and the fluffy interiors of my boots were woolen and warm. My cloak had a long cape made of thick fabric, with a hood and hem that were lined in fur.
