How the Abandoned Queen Made That Man Kneel (Completed Main Story) - Extra 1

When I opened my eyes, the world was entirely white.

As usual, Parnes, who woke before the dawn’s light, slowly blinked his eyelids and gazed out the window.Snow was softly falling against the winter’s characteristic pale sky.
