Roland was lying on his side facing the wall, and he heard the sound of rustling behind him, and without looking back, he could clearly feel Palatina's vicious gaze piercing his back, like a pinprick.

"I'll write down this account first, you give me care!"

Roland heard the whispers of Her Royal Highness the Princess, as if a plump and toned female beast was prostrate on him, the plump twin peaks like two ripe fruits, weighing heavily on his back, and the threatening whispers accompanied by the warm and fragrant breath lingered in his ears, intertwined into an indescribable wonderful feeling.

"You'd better not fall asleep, or you might wake up in the snow on the side of the road!"

After the threat, Palatine shrank back like a big cat, grabbed the blanket and threw it on Roland.

This puzzled Roland. If Palatine really wanted to throw him out of the car window, why should she cover him with a blanket, as if she feared that he would catch a cold. Considering that it is unlikely that both of these scenarios will happen at the same time, Roland puts aside Palatina's threat and falls asleep peacefully. Sure enough, there was nothing to do all night, and when I got up the next morning and washed up, I looked in the mirror, and there was no graffiti on my face, which shows that Her Royal Highness the princess is really kind-hearted.

Palatine herself didn't seem to have slept well, yawning again and again at breakfast, frowning coldly at Anthony, and not bothering to talk to Roland, probably still angry about what happened last night.

"You're not in good spirits, make up for sleep after breakfast." Roland thoughtfully suggested.

Palatina did not respond, but accepted his suggestion, and lay down on the bunk in her clothes, slowly closing her eyes.

Someone opened the window, and a hint of coolness seeped into the car. Roland picked up his blanket and lightly placed it on Palatina.

Palatina suddenly raised her eyelids and stared at him, and her sultry sexy lips spit out cold words: "Don't think that this can coax me to discourage!" ”

Roland forced a smile and asked softly, "Then how can I coax you to dissipate your anger?" ”

Palatina rolled her sapphire eyes and made a bold request: "Sing me a lullaby!" ”

Roland barely sang two sentences before she waved her hand and commented, "It's ugly to die!" ”

"I've done my best, at this level, you can sleep obediently, otherwise I have even more ugly songs to sing."

Palatina lay on her side and stuck out her tongue at Roland, making a face, then turned her head away from him, and after a while she let out a slight snoring.

Roland stood across from her, leaning sideways close to the window, watching through the gaps in the open curtains.

After a day and a night's journey, the train had already crossed the Ulino Pass and entered the Imperial province of Komi. As the tracks extend westward, the scenery changes gradually. The climate is getting warmer and warmer, and there are no large patches of snow and ice on the roadside, and on the flat fields, yellow withered grass pokes its head out from under the scattered snow, swaying like undulating waves in the wind.

Komi Province was still relatively young and was inhabited by nomadic tribes in history, and after the conquest of the Empire, some immigrants moved in and planned as a large pastoral area. As for the tribes of hunters and herders who originally lived here, they are now rarely seen, and according to Palatina, they were driven deep into the mountains and forests of the north by the imperial army. The Imperial Government carved out an area along the western foothills of Mount Ulino as a reservation for the indigenous peoples, forbidding them to leave the reservation and no longer be able to move freely from the grass and water as their ancestors had done.

The winter climate in Komi province is not as cold as in the Far East, but the geography is quite similar to that of the Far East. Roland drove into the distance, and as far as the eye could see, the endless prairie, until the end of the horizon, faintly visible towering light gray mountains like ink paintings. Except for the occasional herdsman's camp with herds of cattle and sheep and dozens of tents erected, the train stops at villages founded by a dozen settlers — according to Anthony, there are no other large towns in Komi province worth staying in, except for the capital Harrenhal.

The scenery outside the window lacks change, and after looking at it for a long time, it will inevitably make people feel tired. Roland yawned, and was about to find a book to read from the storage bag to pass the boring time of the journey, when the magic locomotive suddenly sounded the whistle, and uncharacteristically immediately braked and slowed down.

The train slowed down too suddenly, the carriages shook violently, and there was a lot of exclamation and scolding all around, and the sound of luggage colliding and utensils breaking was endless.

Palatina was also awakened by the emergency brakes, and turned over and sat up, her hair unkempt and sleepy-eyed, and her dazed demeanor was pitiful, so that Roland couldn't help but recall the moment when her hat was blown off by the wind when they first met, and she also showed such a "frightened fawn" demeanor at this moment.

"Why did the train slow down suddenly?" Palatina quickly regained her composure and lifted the curtain to look out.

"Don't worry, it's almost there." Roland tried to comfort her.

Palatina shook her head, her face grim: "There is no station around here, there must have been an accident." ”

"Maybe the train is out of order, Anthony went to the front of the train to find out, and soon we'll find out what went wrong." Roland guessed optimistically.

Palatina was silent, her eyes fixed on the window, and she murmured softly until the train stopped in the uninhabited grassland: "I have a foreboding premonition, and I am afraid that greater trouble is yet to come......

At this time, Anthony ran over quickly, waved his hand at Roland and Palatina, and his face was unusually ugly.

"What a hell! The section of track in front of it was torn down by someone, and the train could not continue to move forward, so it had to break down here. ”

"This kind of bad luck rarely happens in normal times, there are cavalry patrols along the tracks, and it is not polite to catch thieves who destroy the tracks." Palatine reluctantly explained to Roland. She had never encountered such an incident when she was traveling on a train in the Far East, and she couldn't help but feel embarrassed by the security problems in the empire.

"Let's not talk about that, the most important question now is what do we do next?" Anthony was impatient with the grumbling in the carriage, "I don't know when the rails will be repaired, so instead of waiting here stupidly, I suggest going straight to Harrenhal, the capital of the province, where we can take other trains to the Holy City." ”

Roland nodded, agreeing with his suggestion. Looking at the dazed and helpless passengers in the carriage, I couldn't help but feel sympathy. They didn't have the ability to cast spells and teleport, so they were stranded in this desolate wilderness, waiting for the train to resume traffic.

There was a peculiar whistle outside the window, followed by the sound of horses' hooves rapidly moving from far to near.

"It looks like a large group of cavalry is galloping towards this direction." Curious, Anthony pulled up the window and looked out.
