Unused to fighting in the high mountains, and led by incompetent leaders the imperial soldiers suffer heavy casualties.

When I wasn't doing chores, I'd always read.

Solía leer cuando
no hacía los quehaceres.
j’avais pris l’habitude de lire
entre les tâches ménagères.

Durante as tarefas da casa,
 arranjava tempo para ler.
Я читала, когда было скучно.
