'Siria!!!' With a hunting breath Leana throws her cup of tea irritated.
"I told you to convince Winter!!! Your job is a trivial Osbert!! Just convince Winter!! He's your nephew, you're the brother of his late mother!!" Leana pointed right in front of Osbert's face. "I've done my part to persuade that foolish child of the Grace family to come close to confessing his feelings for Winter but you..! Just doing the job of convincing Winter isn't good."
"Darling.I've been trying but Winter's..."
"Effort what?? How's it??? Summer has been expelled from Luckingham! How can you say that you are trying?! There was even an official warrant to repatriate Summer!!" Leana's explosive emotions get out of control as everything doesn't fit and her plan falls apart.
Leana lowered her head and held the side of the table tightly. "Because the plan is in disarray we have to reorder it. Call Barones Irina!" Furious Leana.
This time Osbert was surprised by Leana's words. "Irina?? That distant cousin of yours?? But she's a widow! Are you crazy?!"
"Irina is only 30 years old! Baron Gordian, her ex-husband died of illness. Gordian's legacy is pretty much, we need pawns! Find a reason, anything! Persuade trade unions and other nobles! Offer cooperation!" Lecar Leana, then she stared intently at her husband. "Irina was quite beautiful and many nobles were after her but all were rejected. But.. would he reject a grand duke?? Remember Osbert, pawns are the weapons we need to survive here. And with the duchess's position it will be more profitable."
Osbert only sighed harshly at all his wife's devious remarks, though they disagreed but were true. His position in Luckingham is not strong, he must find a pawn to move Winter and the duchess position is the most powerful and it must come from his allies.

Simon was a woodcutter on Mount Dalkota, from early morning until late afternoon he was very busy cutting wood for the fireplace in his home. The more afternoon before the crow's voice the more noise bothers him.
"This damn bird bird flies all day and is so noisy!!! After this I also have to make sure there are game animals entangled in the trap." Simon wiped the sweat, cutting down a large tree with an old axe drained his strength.
"Dad! Daddy!!" Hally ran over to Simon.
"What's Hally??" Simon asked gently to the other daughter.
"Nice!!" Hally prancing prancing can't keep quiet. "The young lady disappeared again!!"
Simon silently raised his eyebrows. "Have you been looking around here??"
"Yes! Even I've been looking all over dad's place!! Miss is gone again!" Hally rubbed his nose. "I'm sure the lady went there again, I'm worried dad!! I'm worried half dead!!"
Simon laughed at his six-year-old daughter. "The more here your vocabulary gets weird, yeah!" Then Simon squatted his height with Hally. "The lady was there because she was sick and her heart was suffering, right? we should take him. But after 5 days, things have improved."
"Yes the father of the beautiful lady's condition has improved." Hally pursed her lips. "But will you pick the lady home?? I beg.." Hally looked at Simon with his two round eyes. "I've prepared lunch even this afternoon. I've warmed up the food again, it'll be cold again."
..
The sound of a crow still sounds deafening, at the end of the mountain cliff Dalkota a woman stands and looks away at the vast sky.
"You have to go home because Hally's been nagging." Simon stood 5 steps away from the woman. "Wind the night get colder, why are you out again??"
"Because I'm bored." The woman did not turn away from where she stood at the end of the cliff. "When you stand here you don't need anything else in the world." The woman smiled faintly. "Then I can fly like that bird.. If I could see the slopes of the mountains, the vast plains, the meandering river, this heart would be greatly relieved."
Simon was silent for a moment. "You want to go to the outside world? Get out of here??"
The woman looked at Simon and smiled pias. "Do you know. 'what do you think is waiting for me in the world out there??" The woman turned around and walked into the forest. "Hally must have waited a long time. Let's go."
Simon stared at the frail back of the woman, limping and limping. His hands and feet were wrapped in full bandages, the woman walked with tremors as she endured such pain.
"Do you want me to carry???" Simon walked up to the woman.
Simon looked at the woman.
Although I knew slowly he must have been in a lot of pain. His lips until blue he bites to hold the moaning pain does not come out sounding. Why.... actually people like you...?
Simon's memory floated exactly 5 days ago when he heard the noise of a storm in the forest.
"Death!!!!"
"Burn him to nothing!!"
Simon was surprised to find a number of his men who were there. "What are you guys doing?!"
"Pi.. chief!!!" Adam and Shiva were also some people there were very surprised.
"Surge you!!" Simon wanted to see clearly what all his men were doing. The man was surprised not to play to see a woman tied to a tree and the fire spread very large. "Retreat!! Extinguish fire!!!" Shouted Simon and all immediately obeyed him without refuting out of fear.
After the fire was extinguished Simon did not care how hot the rope was as well as the log, he immediately removed Flo from his bond. "I have also heard before that there are robbers in the mountains of Dalkota who kill people without mercy! I didn't think it was you!!"
"Ja..no!!!" Though afraid Shiva could not allow this. "This j*lang woman must die!!" Shiva tried to stop Simon.
"Shut your mouth!!!!!" Simon's scream made Shiva squeak. Simon swiftly carried Flo and stared intently at all his men. "Are there people in this world who deserve to die?!!" Blood on Flo's legs dripped down.
"Ti. no!" Shiva held Simon's shoulder. "This woman.."
Simon lamgsung rebuked Shiva so hard that the woman fell down and cried. "If any of you dare to take the lives of innocent people, I will not remain silent!" Simon holds Flo and leaves the place.
..
Once at home Hally immediately forced the woman to eat, although not so eager to eat, he still appreciated Hally who had prepared a meal for him. Yes the woman is Flower, the woman who was saved by Simon in the tragedy of the bloody night in the mountains of Dalkota.
After he finished eating, Simon took a bowl of concocted medicinal plants to treat Flo's legs. With his heart Simon opened the bandages on his legs and Flo's hands to smear the concoction.
"Does this hurt??" Ask. "ah! Stupid question, where might not hurt. According to the village doctor who dealt with these wounds, every walk must have felt like a shredded wound. I'll take you to the doctor again when the doctor returns to the village."
Flo smiled thinly. "You don't have to feel guilty, this is karma for my actions."
Simon took a long breath. "My heart is getting sicker hearing that from miss, do you really not want to come down from the mountain and go to the outside world??"
Flo could only silently hear Simon's question because he couldn't answer it either.
