After speaking with Flo earlier, Winter visits Summer. "How are you doing? Your bruises on your cheeks are pretty bad."
Summer who looked down was embarrassed, rubbed her cheeks slowly. "I just fell in the bathroom yesterday."
Winter just shut up and looked at Summer. "Summer.." call the man soft. "I'll hold you, be my woman."
Summer was surprised not to hear Winter's words. "First please Mr. Winter sit down first." Summer pulled out a chair and invited Winter to sit down.
After sitting down Winter looked back at Summer. "Be my woman, then it will be a strong shield to protect you."
Although Summer was happy yet she didn't want to be rash, as she just didn't want to get in trouble anymore with Flo. Despite the resentment and resentment towards Flo who had insulted and demeaned her status but after yesterday's incident Summer seemed to see the other side of the mistress duchess Ferkalon. "For Mr Winter, what do I mean? I'm just a young marchioness studying my father's trade. Even though I'm studying business here, but do I really need Mr Winter's protection?"
Winter was silent for a moment, "I'm giving you time to think." The man stood up. "My only hope is one, so Flo can't hurt you anymore. If necessary I'll give you concubine status."
Summer was speechless to see Winter coming out, in her heart mixed. Glad, he's obviously happy and he really wants Winter but it feels like there's something wrong in his heart.
Can I make it like that? Tu's... Winters. May I mean that you have affection for me?

The celebration day of the spring festival will soon take place, in celebration it is clear Winter will sit on the podium with the elders of the Ferkalon family. And this is where Leana's planning something. "Mrs Leana sure??" The butler Leana asked once more. "Podium is the official place for the Ferkalon family, are you sure you want to take Miss Summer up there??"
Leana smiled slantingly, "My daughter Olivia has been abroad for a long time for the business needs of the Ferkalon family, let's just say I'm an old woman who misses her daughter. And I think of Summer as my own daughter." Leana pause. "Everyone knows, 3 days in a row Winter continues to meet Summer. So don't you take it easy to advise me!"
"Ma. sorry lady. I'm just worried the duchess's mistress will do something."
"Winter will protect Summer, and for me this is getting interesting. What the devil woman will do is see Winter sitting next to Summer." Leana smiled cunningly making her servant grimace in worry.

The flag of the country fluttered where, dance dance continues to accompany the event where evenly all the guests present enliven the event. Winter and the other Ferkalon family elders were already sitting on the podium, enjoying drinks and chatting. Leana soon appears with Summer and wants to go up on the podium, "Winter, this old aunt will be bored and lonely if you only talk about business. Let aunty take Summer with her to accompany the aunt to talk, forget the longing for Olivia."
Winter was silent for a while and saw Summer standing behind Leana looking down with a blushing smile. "Of course Leana's aunt."
"Thank you Winter." Leana smiled and held Summer up to sit next to Winter.
The concubines and Flo have their own place because they are not direct descendants of the Ferkalon family, especially Flo has not received the official duchess title. Flo could only look at Winter on the podium sitting next to Summer, although Flo's face was cold, but her heart was in great pain.
The sound of laughter and the look of a happy face continued to appear in all directions, all enjoying the party and drinking together. But not with Flo, the woman just sat quietly by herself in the festive party hall.
Winter drinks her Wine glass, she has been silent since Summer's arrival. Winter understands that there will be many rumors about Summer sitting on the podium, but if Winter brings Flo, of course, there will be more internal conflict.
The eyes that kept on looking at me. I could feel you sitting there and keep looking at me. By sitting apart from people, you just look at me. Why are you like that, always alone. Well especially if it's not because of your bad nature that no one wants to get close to you, right?
'No!!'
Winter put the glass a little hard, somehow an irritated feeling quickly crawled over Winter's heart, the man gritted his teeth and frowned.
But.. People like you guys are so presumptuous! Exiling and humiliating him like that!! I'lli'll...
Winter was about to rise to his feet and at that moment his eyes and Flo's eyes whistled.
Flo...
Flo turned her eyes away from Winter coldly.
Flo got up to her feet, walked gracefully in her dress and left the party hall.
Where you going? Where did you go after messing with my mind like this?! I hate you Flower...
Without Winter realizing, Summer continued to pay attention to her who could not be separated staring at Flo from earlier.

"Mrs Flo." Agustin met Flo on the far side of the party hall. "As you command I come to see you at midnight."
"Have you found him??"
Agustin just nodded his head at Flo.
Flo turned around and was about to walk away. "Take him quiet to my house."
"Good mistress."
Without them noticing there was one of Dylan's confidantes hearing their conversation. Suspicious, the servant continued to follow Agustin.
..
"Excuse me, Miss Flo. We've come." Agustin's voice rang out from behind the door of Flo's residence.
Ethan shows up and smiles at Flo, "What makes you want to meet in person like this with me Flo?"
Shortly after that Augustin resigned, Flo let Ethan sit down and told Altez to serve tea. "Are you still not interested in the festival in Luckingham??"
"Yahhh, like you, maybe I'm not there because many don't like me. The difference is you're still here just to see Winter." Ethan's joke. "So what interests made you invite me here? You know it's very dangerous if anyone knows I'm here, don't stall for too long."
Flo sipped her tea and looked at Ethan. "I walked into Luckingham when I was 6 for almost 20 years next to Winter but things were still the same. From a long time ago you knew best what I wanted."
Ethan smiled thinly. "Of course be Winter's duchess and wife."
Flo fell silent while playing his tea cup. "From the beginning I always used my own hands to get rid of people who blocked my path cruelly and mercilessly. But now comes the man I cannot get rid of with my own hands."
"Don't tell me you mean Miss Summer Grace." Ethan's a little worried
"true." Flo paused. "I've grabbed a woman's hair that will be introduced to Winter first. Slapped the concubine's cheek to tears and bleed, but Winter never once got angry and punished me. But. Just because of Summer, that woman.." Flo's hand shook and her voice choked. "I hate it when Winter ignores me for always being cruel but, I hate to see Winter worrying about Summer and punishing me for that woman. Please..." Flo stared at Ethan. "Please kill Summer, please kill that woman for me!"
..
Meanwhile at the party hall, Dylan who had already received news from his trusted servant immediately reported it to Winter.
"Sorry Mr. Winter, there's something I have to say." Ethan approaches and whispers in Winter's ear.
Winter was petrified shortly after hearing the report from Dylan. "Is that true?!"
"Yes, Mr. Winter."
Winter clenched his hands tightly.
The flower!! What else this time..?!
