CP 8

Winter at Castillo Castle was bitterly cold and filled with constant snowfall. As Mikhail had said, it was a mess of mud once the snow melted, but when it snowed and piled up again, all the filth was hidden, leaving only a pure white world.

Chaika stood by the window, having left a randomly chosen book open after flipping through a few pages. After he completely stopped taking Bellazie, the pheromones emanating from his body grew stronger, prompting Mikhail to reorganize the inner castle's security. Knights now regularly patrolled even the garden's side paths, where no one walked except for the gardener.

The library was the only place Mikhail ever allowed him to be alone, as he usually kept him by his side every single moment. Under the pretext of reading books every day, Chaika spent an hour or two in the library observing the garden patrols.
