Summer was the first one to comply ran away swiftly to do the work, Spring shook her head slightly and went towards her( Summer) direction to help her. Only Winter stayed beside Edward.
Edward: [ Why didn't you go with them? ] Edward asked Winter in intriguing tone.
Winter: [ Your Highness, those two are all that required to do that work as they have to ask some male servants help to bring the hot water here, so i really don't have to go with them. And i stayed here to help your highness if anything is needed. ] Although she replied her voice still little bit cold.
After hearing that Edward sighed and went to his study table to sit and wait for them to bring hot water. He really started missing modern life style. Then he closed his eyes leaned back to chair and started resting a little. While he was resting Winter kept looking at face filled with curiosity. After a while Edward started feeling embarrassed for been looked at. He opened his eyes and turned his face toward her and asked.
Edward: [ Why do you keep looking at me like that? ]
Seeing that she was caught red handed, she lowered he head quickly and her face became little red she her like that Edward was marveled at her beauty. after calming down a little she said
Winter: [ Well your highness i think you have changed so i kept seeing at you to find out the changes. ]
After hearing her Edward was shocked inside, his back started to sweat a little but his face still look calm and collected and he asked her.
Edward: [ So how do you think i have changed? ]
Winter: [ Although you were kind and helping us in past your highness weren't able to decide about some things you had to think for long time to decide, but now you look more confident your eyes and face show that you are able take decisions quickly and talk about big things. Its like you are in control of every situation you face and are more confident to face any kinds of trouble. ] Winter replied after thinking for sometime.
