"Yeah, she is understanding so I am more afraid to talk with her because Harris even though with anger would let me know his thoughts but Rose she is a closed book which can't be opened leave the reading part." Norin said as he shook his head.
"Bad person! How could you say such thing about out daughter. So what she is closed book she is strong and I know she would withstand everything." Roslin said as she smiled while looking at norin.
.
"I know afterall she is our daughter, so no doubt she is strong and perfect but I am not a perfect person and my whole life I regretted not being able to give both of them the parents care and love...I hesitated for long...and now I finally go the courage to do something for them and that's is to give them a mother and I don't think anyone else the Jessica could do that." Norin said as he walked past Roslin.
.
"If your thoughts are clear then what is that thing which is making you so hesitant?" Roslin asked as she back hugged him.
.
"I don't know maybe I am just anxious...or maybe I am overlooking something that I shouldn't...but no matter what it is my decision won't change this is for everyone's betterment. And I know if you were here you would have supported me whole heartedly...and sorry I wasn't able to keep my promise...I told you would be my last yet I am here marrying again..." Norin said as he touched her hands and gently stroked them.
.
"I understand everything and so what if I am not the last in your life atleast I am last in your heart and that's all that matters." She said as she hugged him warmly.
.
"And I have faith in myself and that God above, he will always protect our kids but Norin promise me no matter what happens you would always chose them...Always...Promise me." She said while putting forward her hand.
.
"Roslin, I promise you no matter what happens or who is infront of me I would always chose our kids." He said while putting his hands on hers.
"Good Boy!" She said and slowly slowly her body started to vanish and turn into butterflies which drifted to different direction away form him towards the sky and Norin opened his eyes.
.
"...Roslin...you came by again..." He said while rubbing off the tears form his eyes and looking at the portrait.
"(My dear wife, stay assured I will always remmber your last promise...and even if it leads me to death bed I will still keep it...)" He thought while clossing his eyes again and drifting to sleep.

The Next Morning at Winter Mansion,
"Lady Maxim? Are you in?" Irene asked as she knocked at ther room's door but no one answered so she just entered the room.
.
Which much to her surprise was bigger then expected and was full of things that a girl would rather play with, the walls were painted in dark green colour with the black leafy patterns giving it a dark forest look.
For the decoration the room had a queen sized bed and a balcony pretty similar to Irene's room and she had a full body mirror attached to the wall and a wooden shelf where books related to magic, swordmanship and history of solar was kept in sequence.
.
"Lady Winter? You here?" Sam who just came out of the bathroom said as she was surprised to see her there.
"Oh, sorry for coming in without informing actually I called you for a long time but you didn't answer back so I just came inside...I hope you won't mind." She said politely while bowing towards her.
.
"That was because I was showering, and there is nothing to mind at all. I am just a guest and this your house, you have the right to walk in anywhere. I need to dry my hair would you mind sitting down for a while?" She asked as she looked around the room for a towel.
.
"No worries I will wait but why aren't there any maids in your room? Shouldn't they help you in bathing getting ready and stuff?"
.
"That I sent them back....Lady Winter may not know this but my family doesn't have so many luxury nor any servants. So, I am not very much used of helping hands...I hope you understand." She said with a little hesitation in her voice probably because she thought it as embarrassing.
.
"I see, then it's fine. Be comfortable and take your time...or if Lady Maxim wants I can even wait outside." Irene said as she stood form the sofa.
"No that's not needed I am comfortable enough." She said with a panicked voice.
.
"Really? But Lady doesn't seem that good to me anyway please dry your hair fast or else you will get cold."
"Ah, yes."
And with that a awkward silence filled the room where Sam was somehow breathing and Irene was busy admiring the room which had different elements in every corner.
.
"Lady Winter, sorry for the wait." Sam who dried her hair said as she stoof before her wearing a smiple grey dress with black pair of shoes and her hair tied in a ponytail.
"Its fine, and did Lady Maxim designed this room herself?" Irene asked as she stood up.
.
"I didn't design it myself but I did give the instructions about where and how to do thr things...why? Does it look bad?"
"No, there is nothing bad about this, more then that I really really liked you room form the moment I came inside I keep finding interesting thing one after another." Irene said as she smiled while looking at Sam who looked flustered by the sudden compliment.
.
"I am glad to hear that someone actually noticed those details, I worked on the most." Sam said as she smiled not able to control her excitement.
"You mean no else noticed it yet?"
"No its not that, well it's more like I didn't let many people in here because I am embrassed to show them around."
.
"Lady Maxim, you don't have to be embarrassed about anything afterall everything you do would is for yourself. Others opinions is none of your business anyway I came to ask if you are ready to go to the designer or not?" Irene who just remembered the main reason behind her arrival said as she clapped her hands.
.
"Umm, I don't have anything to do now so maybe we can go now? Only if Lady winter is free too..." Sam said as she looked at Irene.
"Fine, let's go I am free too~" She said while l
leaving the too followed by Sam.
.
"Father, Ash we are leaving now." Irene said a she passed by both of them while moving towards the pavement.
"Yeah have a good time and Lady Maxim let Irene know if you need anything else." Raymond said as he waved his ajnds towards her.
.
"I will let her know, Lord."
"And silly Samy don't be shy~" Ash teased her while patting her head.
.
"Ashton! Don't tease me and Goodbye!" Sje said while running towards the carriage.
"Lady Maxim, after you." Irene said as she opens the door for her.
"Thank you."
And with that there journey to find the perfect clothes for Sam started.
.
Meanwhile at the Willson Mansion,
A servant was standing outside a big wooden door holding a tray full of food items that would make you crave at its sight.
"Young Master, please open the door and have your breakfast, it's getting cold." That servant said as he knocked at Harris door but no answer came out.
.
"Young Master....if you won't come out then I would get scolded...due to want that to happen?" He asked while making a sad face and just with those pitiful words the door opens revealing a Harris with messy head and crimpled clothes.
.
"Give me the plate and next time don't call me out just leave the plate there." He said and closed the door again.
"Okay---*sigh* but if I leave them there would you really eat it up?" He mumbled while friends and leaving his doorsteps with a tried face.
.
"Your Grace, everything is happening according to your commands and Madam Jessica has left for the shop just a few minutes ago." The butler filed the Duke with information.
"Thats good."
"And----"
"And???"
.
"And the young master hasn't eaten anything since last night and on top of that he has locked himself in the room, no matter who goes he just never opens the door...I am afraid his rebelling would bring him and us to a very difficult position." The Butler said as she sighed and listening to his talk Norin started massaging his forhead while flowing.
.
"This boy won't let me be at peace even for a single day!" He said while banging his ahnds at the table.
