Lory awaked from her dream, tears stream down on her face. Her eyes stare at the ceiling even though she does not make a sound the tears keep falling in her eyes. She hates winter season ever since her Father died every time winter season is coming she can't help feel heartache she can't forget the screaming, crying and the heat on her skin it's become another nightmare for her.

Another reason for her insomnia, Lory wiped her tears then she takes a deep breath. She got up from the couch the weather getting colder she wrapped herself tightly with her shawl, she slowly opens the window and she sees the snow falling Lory rest her head to the window frame watching the snow falling to the ground without a sound, the winter coming sooner this year she though.

She remembered her Father's face, that day if she never let him go…if she insist to stay with him could she save him, perhaps she would die with him if that happened her people and subordinated would also die that day. Lory take long exhaled she wondering why it is so hard to die, even until now she never understand why she still alive? What for? And why she's alone in this strange world, is this her punishment because she against God's will because she changed Lucas's faith? So many questions but she had no answered, She raised her hand and the snow melted on her palm lory watch it with an empty look.

Suddenly someone put a fur cloak on her shoulder "What are you doing? You will get cold if you standing here" another hand closes the window in front of her.

"Li Xin?" Lory surprised, she not heard his coming.

Zhao Li Xin not answering her she holds her cold hand "Where is your necklace?" he asking about the amulet she once giving her.

"I left it in the room"

Zhao Li Xin frown "you should never take it off, it's for your owned protection" he reprimands her with a gentle voice, he not want to scare her and she looks unwell right now. He makes her sit on the couch then he lights the big furnace in the room. Zhao Li Xin sits next to her he held her hands and channels her Qi to her just to make her warmed. Lory feels like she was holding a heating pack suddenly the warmth from her hands distribute to her body it feels like she soaked her body in a hot tub.

"Warmed enough?" he asked.

Lory nodded "Thank you" she answers.

Zhao Li Xin pour a cup of wine for her "I know you don't like wine, but this will warm your body and the alcohol is not too strong so you must be fine drink it"

Lory smiled softly at him, she sips the wine slowly even though he said the wine is not strong but for her the wine still quite strong but his right her body becomes warmer after he drinks.

"You work is done?" she abruptly asked

"Hm…" he nodded.

And the conversation stops none of them talking, they can hear the sound of wind outside. Lory takes a glimpse of the man who sits next to her because of him she doesn't feel too lonely like before, she leans her head on the couch "Will the competition postpone because of the weather?" Lory suddenly asked with a quiet voice.

"No, they all cultivator a little cold meant nothing for them"

"How convenient…." Lory chuckle.

"You really hate cold huh?"

"I hate winter season"

"Why?"

"It makes me sad….."

Lory does look sad he wondering what happened when his working downstairs and her eyes a bit swelled seem like she had been cried but why she cries? Zhao Li Xin feels his heart uncomfortable knowing she cry here all alone if only she told him her reason but the girl only smiled bitterly.

"How about we move away to somewhere who don't have winter season"

Lory though his joking "Can we move to the beach? I love the beach the most" she said excitedly

See her mood lifted, Zhao Li Xin nodded "Sure, after my jobs here done we move away" he said with a serious face.

Only then she realizes his not joking "Wait…..I'm just kidding" Lory's eyes bulged with shocked, how could someone decide to move away just like that as if he not thinking too much about it no matter what he still a Prince how could he left just like that.

She is right Zhao Li Xin not thinking too much about it, live here or everywhere is the same for him he had no attachment to place or people even to his owned Master he only feel he owed him but he never feels like he missed him, Lory is the first human being that make him feel want to get close, he feel uncomfortable when she's not around and missed her when he not seeing her for sometime, he still don't know what this feeling about but her existence is already special for him.

"I'm not…" he replied nonchalantly.

"I notice…." Lory roll her eyes "How about your family, will they let you go?"

"They would love to see me left and never returned" he said casually without expression.

But lory feels bad for him "Oh…oh okay, but you don't have to listen to me you can move anywhere you wanted it…..I mean I'm working for you so it's not my decision to choose where we live?"

"Why not?" he asked with a serious face.

"Uhm.....well….."Lory perplexed, how could maid choose where her Master live that's not normal...…. Is it not?

"Let's talk about this later" Lory waves her hand sometimes her 'Boss' can be so weird "Tomorrow we will watch the competition isn't it"

"If you can manage to cover your face, certainly….."

"Don't worry about that, but what about you, are you going to wear a mask?" she got curious

"Yes, you don't want to wear a mask too we can wear a matching mask?" he said as if nothing wrong with that but Lory imagine two people wearing a matching mask feel like the superhero movie she used to watch when she was a kid, she shakes her head.

'Mi Lord you so beautiful but you can be so weird sometime....'

"Let's…..not" Lory smiled widely to hide her strong reluctant while Zhao Li Xin feels a bit disappointed he really feel is a good idea to wear a matching mask. The idea of wearing the same things with her makes his heart elated sadly she not feel the same if only Lory knew about this she might say 'Why not with matching clothes or matching jewelry?'

The two dense people talking and joking the whole night even Zhao Li Xin who doesn't like talking quite chatty tonight they talk about their plan tomorrow where they gonna eat, what store they gonna visit, Zhao Li Xin also told her how the competition proceeds thanks to him Lory forget about her bad memory and she can't even wait for tomorrow.
