Chapter 586
Gulp.
Meow!
I didn’t know why she kept doing this lately, but Ellen had taken to opening her mouth wide like she was about to swallow my face whole.
Didn’t she realize how terrifying that was from a cat’s perspective? It wasn’t just unsettling—it was downright scary!
Sure, I was glad she wasn’t out doing something pointless like patrolling the imperial capital. But now it seemed like the only thing in her head was playing with her cat all day. Honestly, it was starting to creep me out a little.
Ellen lay on the bed, mumbling with me beside her. Thankfully, she hadn’t been zoning out much lately, which was a relief. I had to admit, animal therapy seemed to be working wonders.
“You’re so cute,” she said.
‘Hmm. You’re not too bad yourself.’
Of course, whenever she looked out the window at the falling snow, her expression darkened.
The snowfall was relentless, and there was nothing Ellen could do as it blanketed everything. Snow wasn’t a monster, after all.
After breakfast, Heinrich and Louise had gone out and tried some strange method to melt the snow, but it hadn’t worked very well.
It was pointless for Ellen to go out to patrol the area around the capital, and there was nothing even a hero could do about a snowstorm.
