The Gardener's Foul Fate
Asthenosthene remained awake the whole night.
With her knees compressed to her chest, her mind wrestled upon Chaol's final words before they left the living room.
'They caught him and scorched him.'
Her stomach churned as she kept her palms to her stomach from disgorging what she had eaten for dinner. She could feel her fingers trembling in fear, and no matter how she tried to calm herself- she just couldn't.
The thought was unfathomable.
That gardener. Who was he?
There was a knock on Asty's door. She gasped in surprise

"He was human? Then that's even much more worse!" Asty held on her breath and looked at him with determined eyes. "Imagine, taking the lives of your own kind! It's ludicrous, isn't it? Sometimes it makes me feel ashamed of being human. How in the world would someone have the heart to do that?"She places her palms on her mouth and clenched her fists. She couldn't help it. She was too engrossed at the thought of how humans were also merciless to their own kind.She imagined the torment of the gardener. He must have felt so betrayed to die at the hands of someone that was supposed to protect him."Do you believe in divine retribution?" Chaol asked her."I don't know," she replied to him. "But a part of me believes so, the part of me doesn't, it is probably because I haven't seen it yet.""The divine retribution is real. I'm sure that they got what they deserved. Killing someone isn't s

"Here is your cup of hot chocolate."Lana places the cup on the table to which Asty was facing. She smiled at her and chuckled. "Thank you very much, Lana!""Of course." she took a seat beside her and then looked through the window. "It's going to be chilly tonight.""Mhmm."It was finally the start of winter. From the inside, they could see the snow falling gently onto the soft ground, creating a massive coat of ice. The trees were covered in snow, and not even a single leaf hanging from its branches. The windows were starting to freeze, creating an intricate shape of frosted snowflakes on the clear panes.They breathed in. They could feel the coldness of the air inside the

They were gathered around the fireplace, with blankets all over them. On the wide table were a few bowls of chips and steaming chocolate drinks. They were watching a movie on the television. The movie was not very refined to the count's liking, therefore, he only took glances of it while munching on the snacks. He wasn't supposed to watch the movie with them, however, the group was already occupying the fireplace- which he intended to go, because his room was too cold. Lana, Yvonne, and Asty were cramped in the other side of the couch, blankets covering them together. They were too focused to even look away. They were watching a horror movie. As the grotesque, silvery creatures appeared on the sleek screen, the girls would cover their eyes altogether with their pillows. Chaol heaved a sigh. He didn't und

The count continued to stare at her for the rest of the night. Her body has finally taken the effects of the medicine and has been doing quite well since the upheaval she has suffered from a few hours ago. Chaol was finally beginning to feel sleepy as well, so he decided that maybe it was finally time to stop and slip under the blankets with her.He slowly took the space beside her and pulled her close towards him, making sure that Asty was completely secured in his arms. Chaol slowly closed his eyes and dozed off.A few hours later, the feverish young woman slowly opened her eyes only to see herself snuggling in the arms of Chaol. Her cheeks immediately reddened, she lifted her head to confirm if she was in her bedroom, but then realizes that it was in a completely different set-up than hers. She then recalls the moments earlier and panicked.She had just invited herself inside his room shamelessly!Her h

"How are you feeling?" Chaol sat beside her and inspected her keenly. The woman's color was starting to get a bit lively than last night'sAsty smiled at him and placed the tray beside the desk. "I want to go out already.""No will do." Chaol firmly replied to her and crossed his arms. "You better take the whole day off and rest, it would appear to me that you can't quite stand yet.""I'll become more sicker if I stay in bed." she pouted at him."It is still very cold outside your room. I don't suppose your fever would go down if it's freezing outside, yes?"She sighed. "I guess you're right." she lets her back fall on the mattress with a soft plop. "I feel very lonely inside

"What?" Asty asked him, trying to clarify whether what she heard was right. "Oh no silly, it's nothing." Chaol smiled at her and stood up. He stretched his limbs in the air and rubbed his hair. Even though it wasn't parted, his hair was still gorgeously messy and suitable for his dashing looks. "You should be resting now." Asty observed the count's tensed movements. Chaol carefully covers her entire body with the blanket and took the tray in his hands. "Sleep well." "C-Chaol." she whispered his name. Of course, the sudden calling caused him to abruptly halt his movements and glance at her. His thoughts were raining curses once again, because of Asty's weak voice. Chaol heaved a sigh and looked at her. "Yes?" "L-Last night... there was someone." Chaol's eyes immediately froze in confusion. 'Someone?' "I don't know if I was only seeing th

"How are you feeling now?"Lana walks inside the room with a tray and her hands, Asty slowly shifted her head towards the maid and nodded. "Yes, I am. For some reason, I wanted to eat breakfast with you guys today. Can I?"Lana placed the tray on the nearby drawer. "I will allow you, but I cannot guarantee if you are already feeling fine. Lord Chaol will be very much upset with me if I allowed you to walk around even though if you are still sick."Asty folded the blankets. "I am very much fine now!"Lana examined her. Asty gave her a big smile and twirled around to flaunt her recovered body. "See?"Lana heaved a sigh. "Very well then, you can come eat breakfast with us. Are you alr

76It was a bright, sunny morning. The young woman is outside the yard, with a shovel in her hand. She had been cleaning up the troublesome remnants of ice and snow."Take a break, Asty." the maid called out to her from kitchen windows which were very visible from where she was standing. "I'll handle the rest.""It's okay! I've got nothing to do anyway." she replied enthusiastically to her."Don't push yourself too hard.""I'm alright!" Asty smiled at her and continued plowing the snow and drying the ground.Winter has finally ended and spring is already on its way to make the dried plants bloom again. Ast
