Sora sat on the recliner and enjoyed a glass of cold tea. "Delicious."

Liu Mei nodded as she sat on the other recliner and enjoyed the tea as well. "Indeed, delicious."

Four chairs and four people were sitting there, enjoying the tea time. Small cookies were cutely plated next to them and they nibbled on them in delight.

"So this is what you call vacation?" Sora looked at Liu Mei with half-open eyes.

Liu Mei stroked her belly and shook her head. "This is called enjoying my life. I like to be lazy..."

Xiao Ran stood up and brought a pillow and blanket. "And you like to sleep."

Sora saw Liu Mei pinching Xiao Ran's face and after being covered, instantly falling asleep. In wonder, she blinked at them but saw their faces being straight and cold as soon Liu Mei closed her eyes.

What's this situation? Hua Roulan pointed at the house and she nodded while Xiao Ran sat near Liu Mei and waved slowly with a fan to cool her down.

As soon they entered the room Hua Roulan closed the door and opened her bag. "Princess, we are maybe not rich but we do have some money. Could you help me get a few things from Royal hospital? I tried to find them in normal pharmacy, but they said those things give only in the palace."

Sora took the list and nodded. ''Don't worry about money. I told you, my country is poor, so no one has a lot. Luckily that man was stupid to keep those things in City Office. Now they went to the Emperor's hands and people can't even touch it. About this medicine, I'll tell father. Usually, there has to be permitted to use these things. I am sure he will approve."

Hua Roulan nodded. "I understand. Thank you. Is there anything you like to eat?"

Sora shook her head. "Just prepare what you have and what Liu Mei is eating. I'll eat the same."

Actually, Princess Sora was not a spoiled child. She was open to all kind of dishes. But what awaited her was amazing.

The novelty dishes almost made her burst as she tried everything. Strange was the amount of cooked food. But she didn't question it as they probably had their own idea.

Liu Mei actually realized long ago that the food in her space never gets cold or spoils. It was like a walking refrigerator. So whenever they had a chance to cook, they cooked a bit more and left it in the space, so they could use it when they had no time to do that or when they didn't feel like cooking certain foods, but wanna eat it.

Hua Roulan sighed. If this woman knew that Liu Mei already was planning to gather ice for next year and have something called ice cream, what would she say about that?

She put the food inside and saw Liu Mei patting her belly. It has been only four months since the deed and her belly grew quite a lot. She won't have twins, would she?

Liu Mei looked first at Sora and then looked up and sniffled the air. ''The winter this year will come fast. While we are taking care of the temple, you should talk to the Emperor and tell him to gather as much food as possible. I fear the coldness might bring many difficulties.''

Sora tried to do the same and felt only the smell of flowers and summer. Absolutely no reason for her words. But why does it feel like a strange prediction? Her heart started beating hard. This northern country has every few years strong winters and many people dies because of it. Its been now years and everyone became comfortable. Being prepared won't hurt anyone, right?

Sitting under twinkling stars, Sora listened to Liu Mei's story about turtle and rabbit and laughed many for a long time. Hua Roulan and Xiao Ran commented about it and the night became peaceful only when they saw her sleepily nodding off.

As Princess Sora woke up very next day she first went as usual to er restaurant and saw the person she wanted to see. ''Father? You are again here? I think your secret guards need to be paid very well as they are living in fear every minute of their life.''

Secret guards thanked her silently their hearts, even tho they knew that the Emperor wouldn't change his habits, no matter what.

The man looked at her calm expression and sighed. ''I got a message from you that you want to see me?''

Her mouth became flat as she stared at him. ''Officially. I want to speak to you officially, so no one can pick on your reasons.''

Princess Sora was the only one from all his children that honestly spoke about everything, hiding nothing. He liked that but knew as well that not all his children would be able to do the same. She had no aspirations for the throne and her family was anyway not powerful enough to support such a crazy wish. Seeing her happy shiny eyes was enough for him.

But those happy eyes right now wore deep heaviness. What could have caused this happy and quirky girl to become so serious? He pointed at the place right across of him. ''Sit down and speak.''

She sat unceremoniously right beside him and started whispering. the more she spoke the paler he became. On end his face became white. ''I will speak to the monk. If he says the same thing, we must hurry.''

Princess Sora stood up, bowed to him and left the room while he stood up, covered his head with the hat and walked out. This time he went to the only person who would be able to confirm those assumptions. He actually rejoiced when the neighbourhood country got the disaster, as it was hitting the country quite hard, but in this case, is a complete opposite catastrophe. Snow and coldness. If they are not ready on time it will be bad, really bad.

As a ruler, he hoped deep in his heart that such a disaster won't happen. But things like disasters can sometimes be prevented by good predictions.

Sora just told him that she listened to some people that went to the north and saw some trees being already frozen. If that is the case he has the highest few weeks before the whole country won't be turned into white. This child's information helped him often.

With dark expression, he entered his own rooms, changed attire and went to the Main Hall. As servants saw him pacing around, they became worried and scared. He was rarely in this kind of mood and when he is, no one can smoothen his mood. Now would be the worst time for anyone to bother him.

But unfortunately, their prayers, that no one would come to bother him, were not answered.

A beautiful woman with open hair and crying expression rushed inside and wanted to hug him. But before she realized in what kind of mood he was she was already kicked away and flew like a cloth doll away.

As she hit the floor and rolled towards the door, he roared. ''Who let her in?! Twenty boards! Now!''

The woman dazedly looked at his eyes that turned icy and started shaking. Since the first day she came to the palace he pampered her until she became spoiled. He let her be spoiled and liked it that way. But why is he acting today like this? Her brother... she must save her brother...

With a painful yelp, she rose a bit and started truly crying this time. ''Emperor, my love... please help y brother!''

He smirked at her coldly. ''Help him? To help traitor would make me condemn my own country. Go. I think you and your family need some alone time. On the northeast border to the Everlasting Ice country, there is a town. Calisco. They will be all sent there to show their gratitude to the Empire. If yous ay one more word, you will go with them.''

She froze and speechlessly stared at him while servants dragged er out and let her down outside. One of her own personal servants came crying. ''Imperial Concubine!!! Your family is already on ist way to the north. Please don't do anything stupid now, or you will be sent up as well. Please.''

The old servant as the one that loved her and raised her. She looked at her old crying face and felt utterly disgusted. When did she get this old? Why did she even keep her by her side? Maybe if she was not around, this kind of situation would have happened?

She stood up and looked coldly at the petrified woman. ''Now my family failed. You must go as well. I can send you to mother or do you want to stay with your family?''

The servant felt dizzy. Is she really sending her away in this kind of situation? If she leaves, those people will eat her alive. ''Miss, let me stay by your side. Please.''

Imperial Concubine rose her head as she looked ta her. ''Why should I? You had your uses now you are no more needed. Its time you let Meifen become the main maid. She has enough experience. Go. Pack your stuff and go. You are useless.''

With her words said she turned around and dignified as possible left the perplexed woman standing. As she walked far away the servants face turned icy. ''Damn it. I can't control her anymore. This is bad. I must let Master know about it.'' With that, she rushed away while two hidden guards looked at each other and followed her.
