Life as the successor of the duke is not easy, being one of the confidants of the king and queen in the country, not to mention a duke must take part in forming an army that maintains the safety of the king and his queen. Indeed, not many attacks that trigger wars directly occur as in ancient times, but the party who became******* and the spiteful party still exists. For Winter himself, he runs the business for the survival of the Ferkalon family both legally and cunningly so that he also gets an enemy clearly who wants to harm also get rid of Winter.
Therefore, escort all the time is very much needed. But there are times when a hitman's attack could have occurred and escaped the watchful eye of Winter's bodyguards.
"There's a hit man attack in the duke's house!!" The whole of Luckingham area was in shock with the attack last night.
Lucky for Winter who is always trained alert and alert only injured incision due to the knife perpetrator, and swiftly all the guards Winter bent the hitman. But as everyone suspected, the perpetrator immediately unsheathed the dagger he carried right on his chest and immediately died on the spot.
Kevan had finished examining Winter after sewing the wound on Winter's shoulder and slashing it tightly, Kevan slightly took a deep breath. "It should have been a minor injury, but I deeply regret that the assassin used poison on his dagger and that poison killed him as well."
"I have sterilized your wound area, but fear that the poison has been mixed in your blood then I give antidote to you even though it is seen from no significant symptoms that arise even though it has almost 1 hour passed." Kevan patted Winter's uninjured shoulder. "Rest, tomorrow morning I'll be back to check on you."
Winter breathes a little breathless, actually this is normal for him. Since childhood, he had been educated on this, how to survive how to deal with attacks and also tested his body's resistance to certain types of poisons. But so many problems that seized the mind of this late Winter made himself in a condition that is not too prime so that the endurance of his body slowly decreased.
"Mr Winter your body has a fever, but Dr Kevan says this is natural. So I hope Mr. Winter lies down and rests soon." Agustin seemed very worried, and tried to get Winter on his bed.
The next day when Kevan returned to the Winer residence, he checked the man's vital signs better. Winter fever nakun has not subsided, "This is a reasonable fever due to the medicine I gave her, let her sleep for a while." Kevan tidied up his doctor's kit after checking Winter.
"Good Doctor Kevan." Agustin immediately ordered some servants to turn on the heating room and keep the light of the room so that Winter could comfortably rest.

Leana stood anxiously waiting for someone, "Mrs, Miss Summer has arrived." Leana's servant gave her the info.
Leana's smile grew even more, "Have her come in quickly."
Leana held Summer's hand, "You know last night Winter got an attack??"
"Yes." Yeah." Summer's face looked a little worried. "But he said Mr. Winter's condition was fine and not hurt in the slightest."
Leana breathed a rough breath and pulled the summer closer. "Winter's hurt."
"What?!" Summer closed her mouth in surprise.
"This is a secret, this news should not be spread because it will give a gap to the enemy. But do you know why I told you this?" Leana smiled in anguish.
Summer is still in shock. "I'm.."
"Come with me to visit Winter. Come on.."
It didn't take long for Leana and Summer to arrive at Winter's residence. "I, as an aunt and guardian, can't see my niece?!" Leana was caught off guard when Ronan and Dylan blocked her move especially they were a little upset with Leana who brought Summer here.
"Ta. but Miss Leana,"
"Shut up! I'm entitled! Move you!" Leana cuts Ronan off and walks into Winter's room with Summer.
Summer chuckled at Winter lying down, her heart ached to see Winter sick. "Tu. Mr. Winter." The woman chose to stand close to Winter's mattress to keep her distance.
Agustin was moved to Winter's room after hearing news of Leana there carrying Summer. Leana smiled as she slanted as soon as Agustin came, "From this second on, let Miss Summer look after Winter."
Everyone was surprised and so was Summer, the woman is not Winter's legal wife nor is she one of Winter's concubines but Leana gives such a decision that makes all can not argue because Winter once gave the order that Osbert and Leana are her guardian in Luckingham.
"No problem with Agustin??" Press Leana. "Dylan and Ronan will also be on guard outside."
"All right." Agustin can only breathe.
Leana turned around and was about to exit the room then looked at Summer and smiled victoriously. "Sign Winter well. I went back to my old residence."
"Ba. good aunt Leana." Summer looked agitated.
After all the rest of Winter's room, Summer accompanies Winter alone. Slowly the woman approached and sat down beside Winter's bed, fearing that she might observe the man's face.
Her eyes.her nose.all parts of you drive me crazy. My initial goal was to get the position of concubine so that I could smooth my path to raise my family's degree. But I didn't expect to fall in love like this with you. Your warmth..
Summer gathers all her courage and holds Winter's hand.
Subtly..
"The first time I met you, the radiant you made my heart beat. The smell of that flower, the white flower in your study.."
"Pear flower. That flower is a pear."
"Mister Winter is awake?" Summer is nervous and shy.
"Summer." Winter holds the woman's hand and for the first time Winter calls Summer without the frills.
"I. Yes I am Summer." The woman was embarrassed and nervous as well.
"Yes, Mr. Winter." Summer smiled warmly in response to Winter's smile. "Sleep again."
Winter closed her eyes again slowly, for a moment she felt she was dreaming. The scent of pear, a spring flower from China that always grows in Luckingham flower gardens. The smell was so sweet, her pretty flowers reminded her of a little girl in the past. But why did that hurt her heart so much..

"Mrs Flo?!" Agustin is shocked to see Flo appear at Winter's residence. "Let's go. Madam is sick, why are you here? Better get some rest."
Flo fell silent with a haughty and cold face. "I want to see Winter. Is he really hurt?" Flo clearly knew this from Kevan.
"Doctor Kevan has taken good care of him, now that Mr. Winter is resting. Si. please come in." Agustin opened the door to Winter's room.
After Flo entered, the middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief. It was fortunate that the young miss of the Grace family had already left, if they met it could be that there would be a big problem!
Flo looked at Winter who was still asleep, "Winter.thankfully you're safe and well." Flo paused. "Is this your face? Is this the shape of your lips that always say evil and cruel to me? Are these the eyes that always look at me cold? Your hair's smooth.." Flo smiled and stroked Winter's head. "Even in times of pain like this your face shines brightly over my heart..."
"The scent of pear flowers.." Winter seemed to dream, faintly he smelled the fragrance of pear flowers that he longed for long ago. "You're as pretty as a pear flower."
"Gdgt.." Flo continued to caress Winter's head and chuckled. "You always call me a wildflower, not a pear."
"..Summer?" Winter's eyes slowly opened.
But Flo doesn't show a happy face after Winter wakes up, she is shocked and devastated to hear Winter calling Summer's name so eye-opening.
"What are you doing here?!" Winter stared hard at Flo.
Flo screeched, "Others I do? Am I not looking after you who are sick?"
Winter momentarily awoke to something and hurriedly rose from his sleep. "Summer?? What about Summer? Did you torture Summer again?!"
"Gt!" Flo laughed cynically. "I'm the one who was standing guard here! I took care of you from the start, not that j*lang!!"
"Don't talk nonsense! Cunning, not knowing yourself! There is no shame! I don't want to see that face of yours, come out!!!" Jerky Winter rough.
Without saying another word Flo came out of Winter's room, as soon as Flo closed the door she looked at Agustin inside. "Is young lady Grace here?!"
"Be.'s right." Agustin answered.
Flo quickly walked away from the Winter residence, leaving the four servants confused. "Mrs!? Where is the madam going?!!" Altez and his friends follow Flo, who keeps going fast.
The faces of Altez, Gloria, Gemma and Nora suddenly paled as Flo walked toward Summer's residence. But they know Flo can't be prevented. Without permission and polite courtesy Flo immediately opened the door and approached Summer who was reading a book.
'Plaaac! Plaakkat!'
'Plaaac! Plaakkat!'
A sharp and cold gaze Flo said, mercilessly hitting Summer repeatedly.
"Mrs Flo??!" Summer was really curled up trying to protect her face and she didn't understand why Flo was hitting her blindly like this.
"Bless your head!!" Just now Summer glanced a little and the slap came back to her.
'Plaaac! Plaakkat!'
'Plaaac! Plaakkat!'
'Plaaac! Plaakkat!'
'Plaaac! Plaakkat!'
"Hahaahhhahhhh!" Flo's breathing panted for some reason how many times he slapped Summer and the woman curled up in tears on the floor.
"Tell me again..." Flo. "Run and whip again at Winter." With trembling hands and blood dripping from the wound in Flo's hand that opened again, she clutched tightly onto Summer's shirt.
"It's so bad you stabbed me in the back!! For business ties?! By the degree of your family's trash?! You manipulated everything and wanted Winter's side!!"
'Plaaac! Plaakkat!'
'Plaaac! Plaakkat!'
Flo slapped Summer again.
With lips fluttering Flo approached Summer. "That place is a place I can't get into even if it's been 10 years!! Today is where I ventured to come because I heard he was hurt. But. people like you are so presumptuous trash like you come in and out..." Flo took off her clutches without saying what else she came straight out of Summer's residence.
