Irene The Lady Who Turned Down Fate - Chapter 200
“(I have a special tendency to feel…deeply and I have always known this that once things go right….they will always end up worse and that was the thing that was happening before me right now.)”
.
“Lady Willson!” The maids cried as they saw Rose fainted on the ground with blood dripping down her knees.
“I am sorry…” Violet murmered slowly as her hands shivered with her pupils wondered form here to there.
.
“(My Dream…My fear has come true but in a form which I have never thought of…)” Irene thought as she slowly walked towards Violet and held her hands.
“Why…Why did you do this?” She asked with nothing but confusing, frustration and sadness in her eyes which came out of her eyes in the form of tears.
.
It was supposed be a happy evening with romantic feelings floating around as it the crown Prince Birthday Ball but things were no way near happy….
.
A few days ago,
“Your Holiness, what is it that you want to talk about?”
“Lady Winter, you remmber our first meeting.”
“I do—”
“It was the time when I gave you your second name. Bedisa you remmber it right?” He asked as he looked at Irene who was taken off guard this time.
.
“Actually you remmber everything…form the starting till the end, Don’t you? Irene Bedisa Winter aka Lily Winter.” He said as he looked at her and the glass of water which was in Irene’s hand fell in the ground with a thud and broke into pieces.
.
“Your Holiness…wha–t what are you talking about? How could I?” She said with a smile as she tried to shook it off but deep down with his calm gaze on her she could tell that there is no use of hiding it anymore.
.
“You were born under special circumstances, and with one look in those eyes of yours I could say, that you are indeed special a miracle, a hope, so I named you Bedisa so that you can change the wheel of fate…which you are fully aware of. And till now though willingly or under pressure you tried everything to change the fate.” He said as he looked impressed by her hard work.
.
“I had to do it—because I wanted to live with my family, but with time I got close with every else so I want to change fate too…but things aren’t as easy they seem…” She said while bitting her lower lip.
.
“I know—but you can’t give up, or it’s more like I won’t let you give up.” He said as he looked at her eyes with determination, which was kind of scary.
“Your Holiness, but I don’t understand…why are you helping me? And if you knew everything then why didn’t you say so earlier?”
.
“Because I promised someone that everything would be fine….and I promised myself not to get involved with fate unless it’s critical.”
.
“Critical…then now—”
“The main culprit has come out.”
“Main culprit? You mean?”
“Its the person behind all the misfortunes. If I say his/her name you won’t belive me so, you should see it for yourself, at the Prince Debut Ball.” He said as he placed his hands on jer shoulders.
.
“And Irene….when the truth come out make sue you don’t run away…and you know it too…the people I am thinking about but you are too confused so just wait till the ball and all your questions would be answered.”
.
That day the conversation with the Holiness left Irene at edge as she was now worried about her own existence. And the fact that there are pieces who know about her past life.
“Does that mean…all the misfortunes Irene went through in the novel was someone’s scheme…” Irene talked with herself as she could feel her shoulders shake and her heart getting heavy.
.
“Sister? Sister what’s wrong? Why are you like this?” Ash who came out of the prayer room to look for her asked.
.
“Ash…”
“( If everything was a scheme then…Ash death, mother’s madness and father death were all of that a part of conspiracy too! But how and why would someone do this!! Who would go to such length that too against a less powerful family like ours!)” Irene thought as she clenched onot her dress while grinding her teeths.
.
“(No matter what the reason is, who ever is behind this, I will never ever forgive them!)” Irene thought as she wiped off the tear that fell down her left eye and stood up.
“Sister are you okay? Did his holiness say soemthing unpleasant to you? Should I go and scold him!” Ash asked as he was about to turn and run.
.
“No, it’s not like that….I was just feeling a little under the weather…Don’t worry everything if fine and let’s go home.”
.
Time skip to them reaching winter mansion.
Irene after reaching home went straight to her mother’s room.
“Mother, I am here after a long day…And I felt so much today that I am going numb now…Mother I feel afraid all of a sudden, I feel as if my worst nightmare is coming to reality.” She said while holding her hands and looking at her face.
.
Not knowing that all her worries were soon to come true, as the days kept passing the Willson family got busy at arranging a big wedding for
The Duke and Jessica, which made Rose more cranky and her relations with her father kept getting worse.
.
And for the relationship between her and Irene, they were same as the say they parted. Both were too busy and caught up in their own life but that didn’t mean Rose didn’t regret her behavior and Irene didn’t wait for Rose.
It was just a bad timing.
.
And as days passed like there is no tomorrow, the empire’s largest day of celebration the debut ball of the Prince was here. Whole streets form every knock and corner of the empire were decorated.
People from all the kingdoms showed up at Solar with envoy consisting of rare and valuable things which boasted and also shows about their wealth and sincerity.
.
“My Lady, get up!” But even in such a day Irene still and no peace both externally and internally and the fact that she has to wear mask and hide her face made it worse.
.
“Its his highness debut ball not mine, so what’s the point in working so hard to dress me up? I am not the main character.” Irene murmerd half asleep as she closed her eyes.
“My Lady, Stand straight please and dressing up nicely shows your etiquette and sincerity. So, no matter who theaon character is you should still maintain your image.” Hana said as she put onto her corset on her which was of milky white colour.
.
“Yeah Yeah~” Irene said in a sleepy and husky voice.
“Seems like today is a very special day.” Sam who has no idea about his unknown preparation said as she walked around the mansion when suddenly she stumbled but luckily Ash caught her.
.
“Seriously are you eyes at your knees? Why do you keep falling down now and then?”
“Ashton, thank you and can you stop scolding me every time…that too at such an early morning…” She said while pouting.
.
“Then why don’t you try to use your brain a little and stop acting so clumsy and dumb. Maybe then I would scold you less.” Ash said as he hit her head with the book he had in his hand slightly.
.
And unlike usual when Sam would fight her, this time she stood there silently facing the ground.
“Hey…why are you so silent? Aren’t you gonna fight back?” He asked as she shook bit which made her look at him and…
.
“You are so mean!” Sam said with tears in her eyes and red ears as she walked past him and ran starlight toward her room.
“She was crying…sh*t did I over did it!” Ash regretting his behavior said as he kicked the stool near him and ended up hurting his own leg.
.
“(Why he is so mean to me! Eveb after spending so much time together he still treats me harshly….I thought we can become close but I guess it was all just my own thinking….)” Sam thought as she entered her room and looked at the letter in her table.
.
“Maybe this is for the good only…”
“Lady Maxim, are you in there?” The maids asked while knocking at the door.
.
“Yes, I am.”
“Then can you please open the door, so that we can dress you up for today’s ball.”
“Sure…” She said while wiping her tears and walking towards the door.
.
And that was how, with a heavy, confused and guilty heart they got ready for the celebration.
Meanwhile at the Palace,
“Your Highness, it’s time for you to get ready.” The servants at the Prince room said as they bowed towards him.
“Sure, let’s begin.”
