Winter's cold eyes bored into the little maid and her eyes sending cold daggers.
The little maid flinched and trembled for a second but held her ground.
'How am I wrong?! She clearly bullied the crown prince first!'
If she hadn't made the crown prince bring her several flavors of juice she wouldn't have done it. And she even disgrace the prince by leaving after all he have done for her.
That really lower the crown prince prestige amongst the servants and those people spread whatever happens in the palace throughout the entire kingdom.
"I don't like people acting too smart" Winter went to sit on her favorite one seater chair.
She crossed her legs adding more fierceness to her vibe.
The maid pressed her lips to a thin line and wondered what the odd lady meant. Everyone is clearly smart well some are not but still good enough to survive.
Or does the odd lady wants mental health patients around her?
The maid wore a bewildered look and scrunch up her face.
'this lady is very weird!'
"I don't understand my lady" The maid said at last.
Winter can clearly see the changes on the little maid's face. The last look was not pleasant in the least.
'why do I always feel like am bullying her' she thought helplessly.
"Just get me something to eat" Winter said and waved her hand nonchalantly.
"And decent..umm.. wears"
A suspicious blush rose in her cheeks when she said it.
Last night memories still haunts her!
What is he was actually drunk?!
What if he just raised her clothes down there?!
She shook her head and wore a cold look. No matter what he is dead when next she sees him?!
The weird wore that confused look again and wondered why the odd lady suddenly turn red.
'Did she actually do something to herself last night and mess up her clothes?!'
'Is she into girls?!'
She safely gave a space of two feet beside her and Winter. She chose to avoid the topic of..umm..wears.
"Am sorry I can't get food for you. The royals are getting breakfast together this morning"
Winter caught the key word, royals. According to what she learnt the king have hundreds of concubines with about three hundred and fifty children both the ones fathered by him and not. The kitchen would have started the meal preparation since dawn and wouldn't end until almost noon.
She looked at the maid full of hope" can I at least get some food once the kitchen is done preparing some?"
The maid shook her head" they won't give"
Winter furrowed her brows lightly. She has a habit of not showing her emotions in front people and would just twist her brows a bit from habit.
"Can't you prepare some for me separately?" Winter asked.
" You are ordered to be at the breakfast so I won't be allowed" The little maid replied with happiness.
Ha! The odd lady finally have a taste of karma!
"Can you get some for me from outside the palace?"
"It isn't allowed"
Winter shivered with fear. She haven't eaten any dinner and the roasted yam yesterday morning was just a few pieces.
The magic used on her a few days ago to heal her injuries isn't very powerful since their magic mostly lean to the aggressive type. She needed to eat to fuel her body and the magic or might it actually consume her life force!
That's why Prince tried to get her to eat first.
"Go" Winter waved at the mid tiredly. She didn't have the energy for mind games. She can feel the maid is intentionally doing it but she can't do anything about it.
If she goes to the kitchen she won't be welcomed and the kitchen is one of her banes!
She makes a really good sandwich and can poison people with a cooked dish of hers.
The maid turned and walked out obediently not bothering to hide the sparkles in her eyes.
Winter looked down at her cloth and directly facepalmmed herself. She forgot to ask the maid for clothes and can't go out to the guards outside.
She resigned to fate and went to the bathroom.
She took and bath and did all the necessary cleaning up.
She returned to the room in a bathrobe.
She crossed her leg uncomfortably and held a thick poker face.
Anyone that comes in won't know she had just torn the nightwear to make a pair of good underwear.. again.
A gust of wind flew from the window and landed right in front of her.
A second gust flew in and stayed beside the first one.
"Breakfast" Nyron held up and takeaway and jiggled it lightly with a bright smile.
Winter turned her cold eyes to the person beside him. She stood up calmly and took the food.
She made a promise to herself to eat first before getting angry.
After emptying the plate, she turned to the males and faced Nyron.
"How did you two get in this morning?"
It is daylight and the group usually comes around three in the morning.
"Devon here have a spell that can escape their detection" Nyron said proudly like he is the caster.
Winter cold eyes glanced at Devon and moved, she sneered in her heart.
'must be teamwork that he begged to take the credit!'
Devon wore a mask this morning, under his bangs his eyes curved into half moons.
Seems like this girl still doesn't know how powerful he is.
"Can his magic escape other people's detection including yours?"
" Yes" Nyron narrowed his eyes now suspicious. Anyone can notice the tense atmosphere in the room. It's so thick it's now visible.
Wait?! Winter said..Did Devon leave them last night and come to trouble her?!
"What happened?!" Nyron faced Devon and asked.
He is a little afraid of the latter but he is still in charge of protecting her here!
Devon eyes turned freezing as soon as it landed in Nyron.
"I came in here last night after escaping from some guards and we happened to tangle a bit"
He explained because he knew how important Nyron is to Winter.
"But you didn't need to lie on me!" Winter said through clenched teeth.
Nyron head turned sharply at Devon.
"What?!"
