Winter Has Come

Thankfully, Mr. Wrathe, whom she tried to avoid despite their exchange inside the study, didn't call on her nor asked her for her 'services'. He had never appeared in front of her since that day but she heard Peter praise him as if he was a knight who had defeated a dragon in the frost forest. 

It was no longer a surprise to her when the maids and servants continued to compliment his polite and kind personality, but it still made her wonder why he acted so differently towards her? 

However, Talia couldn't afford to worry about such matters when the first snow fell. Now that they couldn't hunt in the forest for food due to the cold winter and increase of deadly risks, everyone had to set their eyes on the food they were able to capture and stocked in their warehouse.
