Evelyn opened the windows letting the snow into her room. The wind gently blew in, with the snow as well. Her handmaiden, shivered though she tried as best as she could to stand the cold. Evelyn unable to feel the same coldness as Cara turned to see her handmaiden shivering.
"I'm sorry, Cara. You could leave, if you want. I keep forgetting how cold it is for other people."
"Yes milady, and thank you. I will be waiting outside if you need me…"
"It's alright. I wouldn't want you to just stand outside for me. It's a lovely day, Cara and I'm sure you're tired as well."
"But milady…"
"But nothing, my dear. Go have a rest and see to your husband." Evelyn smiled at her and Cara nodded her head in resignation.
"Good day milady." Having said that Cara exited the room and dusted the snow off her shoulders.
"Good day, Cara." Evelyn whispered.
Evelyn placed her chair near the open window and started to work on her needlework. Three years since she married Tristan, but she was still childless. She gazed at the wintry wonderland outside her window. She was lost in thought when she pricked her finger with the needle. Three drops of ruby red blood fell onto the white snow on the windowsill. The sight of her blood on the snow struck her.
How pretty, she thought, Hair as black as the ebony, lips as red as blood, and skin as white as snow. A lovely child it would be.
Hair as black as ebony
Lips as red as blood
Skin as white as snow
She gazed upon the snowy landscape once more.
Yes, her child would be snow white.
