Winter sat on the seat with a serious demeanor different from her cat like earlier as if that part of her was just an illusion.
The sound of the anklet jiggled reminding them of its presence.
"I didn't know there will be a day I will get to see you so dolled up" Nyron teased after collecting his thoughts.
Winter nodded seriously agreeing with him but the tip of her ears had long turned pink.
"I mean like, I would only get to see you inside a coffin since that will be the only time the dean can get to doll you up" Nyron added.
" Ugh!"
A box went flying and hit him squarely in the face. He fell back on the bed with a loud thud
"Oh come on, you know am saying the truth" Nyron massaged his dislocated jaw.
His eyes glanced at Winter and came to the conclusion.
She just looks like a lady today but a man law dormant.
"Someone is here" Devin announced.
Winter walked to the door and opened after confirming the person knocked. She didn't need to look back before knowing those two have hidden themselves.
"Good afternoon miss" Paloma the personal guard of Prince walked in briskly.
She dropped something at the table inside. Her eyes subtly glance around the room.
The demons are a higher race with a sharper instincts than the rest. On reaching the foot, she can feel more then one energy in the room.
It disappeared on her entering it.
She is not surprised if some people snuck into the room and Winter is hiding them.
The girl is cold, ruthless and decisive but won't hesitate to help when needed.
All she hopes is the people aren't here to take her away. The entire kingdom are proud of the fact that the kingdom is impregnable.
She isn't too worried anyone from the outside will come to rescue Winter. She is mostly worried the unwilling people in the kingdom will attempt something.
The girl is very smart and cunning. She will use the people and likely escape without than even knowing.
"This is the schedule for today"
Paloma walked back to the door.
" Is there anything else you will need?"
" None" Winter replied.
Paloma opened the door and ultimately paused her steps
"If there is any thoughts of escaping it will lead to execution"
Winter eyes narrowed dangerously.
Is this girl threatening her?!
"Understood" in the end she only nodded and calm her emotions.
Paloma didn't linger, she walked after receiving her affirmation.
The men had appeared before she could turn her back.
"Sorry"Nyron laughed sheepishly.
They had forgotten to tone down their energy after entering.
Winter didn't blame them. She only wear black pants and white shirt. And on occasions such as new year party, she dress moderately not at all like girls her age..she had once been teased as a man in woman's flesh.
This dress wasn't her choice but something forced onto her. If she had a choice, she would have chosen pants.
Nyron and Devon went on and explained the plan to Winter.
Winter listened with gutsy, a small smirk slowly appeared on her face.
"The plan had loopholes" Winter frowned after a while.
" That's why he is here" Nyron pointed proudly at Devon. His chest swelled with immense pride.
The image of Nyron ruthless and badass attitude in her mind came crashing down.
Can you please tone down the fan boy fawning?
The man beside him looked unremarkable and unreliable to her.
But if Josephina can keep him on her radar and attempt to poach him, then he must certainly have some ability.
He just doesn't seem like someone reliable.
Devon eyes behind the bangs flickered, the multi color gleaming brightly fixated on the radiant lady in front.
His eyes couldn't move away as if a spell, he greedily watch her to satisfy himself.
His desired betrayed him, like an abyss, never full and it's all directed at the lady glowing like a rare gem.
Winter happened to meet his eyes. Her heart shook slightly. The two held the stare feeling the air around them get ambiguous.
She is hocked by the intensity of the stare and panicked.
'is he secretly trying to do something"
She is too beautiful and some people might have funny ideas. She had been too soft lately and that has made them forgetful!
"Em!" She cleared her throat forcefully.
She looked up at his eyes and how they had change to half moons gleaming brightly with playfulness.
She inexplicably felt guilty feeling caught.
She has grown really soft.
"Here" a smooth hand handed her a glass of water.
Winter took it and had a few sips her face returning to color.
"Thank you"
Nyron watched the interactions between the two of them and can tell he had been , as igpushed out of the room a long time ago.
His friend had never actively gotten close to a girl this much. It is a common that believe that Devon is a gay and they are secretly a couple.
He has grown tired of denying and just let the rumors ferment. He also has his fault.
Deliberately scaring girls away had made the rumors more credible.
Winter and Devon formed a sweet bubble around themselves leaving out the rest.
The actions between the two isn't sweet more like a submissive servant in front of a master. He didn't know how his brain interpreted it as sweet.
"I am going now" He announced forcefully interrupting the two.
It felt a bit uncomfortable watching them together. His heart felt stuffy and heavy seeing how sweet they are.
"Okay. And be safe" said Winter.
Her face looked frosty and her tone lacked warmth but it made him content. His friend hadn't forgotten him for another.
"Bye"
He opened the windows and swiftly left the room.
He felt guilty like he is the scumbag that interrupted their relationship and fled away.
Winter signed, she didn't notice his emotional changes and went back to close the windows. There is still one fugitive in her room.
His job is a little closer to her, he remained.
Winter turned around to see an enlarged face in front of her.
She gasp in shock and quickly calmed down in recognizing Devon.
She out up her guards instead. This man had broken into her room once when drunk and had..
She is well aware of the clothes she is wearing. It can provoke even the most celibate man.
It isn't hard to provoke a young man and many thoughts he would have found to justify any reasons if he suddenly decide to pounce in her.
She cautiously took a step back. He followed.
They repeated it till her back hit the wall. His arms went by her sides caging her. His handsome face zoomed in drastically.
"What do you want?" She asked her tine frosty and threatening. She must make sure to put in back in his place.
The scent of his perfume is something she hasn't perceived before on him, making her wonder if he changed his perfume.
The scent of the new perfume smells nicer and is gentler on her nose than the last.
'what?!'
She realized she is greedily sniffing him like a dog and quickly composed herself.
It will be bad for her rep if she is caught like that!
Devon looked down at the cornered rabbit and felt a tug in his heart, the tug is so sweet he wants to completely immerse in it. His heart was so full and unsatisfied, he wants more!
He is so close he can seen the fine hairs on her face and the lashes fluttering. If he bend down any further his lips will land on her forehead. His breathing turned erratic. He kept repeating the spell to calm himself.
"Don't wear this"
"What?!" Winter raised her head up suddenly, headbutting the man hard.
"Ugh" Devon groaned quietly.
Winter sneered, he seem to be in pain but still didn't let go of her.
"Feisty" Devon eyes narrowed beneath the bangs.
"Let go" Winter ordered.
"I will"
"Don't wear that out" nudged his head towards her clothes.
Winter raised up her knee and landed a deadly strike.
"F*ck!" Devon rolled away from there his legs clasped together. Sweat covered his face immediately.
His face under the mask twisted painfully yet a bright smile appeared in his eyes.
This girl can never be bullied.
He had initially worry that man on seeing her dress will attempt to bully her. She won't be able to leave until evening and will be left in care of several men.
He was afraid those men will have wrong ideas. Although the authority and fear of Prince is immense, one has to be rational to follow rules.
He had to chant a spell on entering and activate it immediately so he and Nyron can be calm and sane.
"If attempt this again, I will cripple you!" Winter threatened coldly and walked away to the door left.
She can't be left alone with a odd man!
Devon slowly got up his eyes lingering on the spot she left.
