Irene The Lady Who Turned Down Fate - Chapter 201

“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.”

With gold and silver all around, the winter family wearing their signature blue coloured outfits entered the hall.

.

Raymond wore a pair if black jeans along with a blue over coat with golden strings and jewelry attached to it, and the snowflake which symbolized their family symbol was stciked at her shirt and his hair was combed backward

.

Ashton looked like a mini version of Raymond and the only difference was that her wore a lighter shade of blue coat with just a smiple broach and cufflinks, ad for his hair it was let down hiving him a comfortable and approachable look.

.

At last for Irene, she wore a snow blue coloired dress with flareed skirt and full length off shoulders top of the same Color, her hair was in a bun with a beautiful hairclip in the symbol of snowflake made of diamonds, she wore a lair of white heels giving her a refreshing look.

.

And Sam wore yellow netted dress which reached upto her knees and a floral bracelet in her left hand. As for her hair she let is down with a hearband to style it.

.

“The Winter Family is here!” The announcer announced and everyone’s eyes landed on them some with admiration, some with envy but none were close enough for them to look forward.

.

“Irene!” Molly shouted through a corner of the room wearing her knight uniform which a mixture of blue and red along with golden straps and white gloves.

“Molly!” Irene waved back as she ran towards her and gave her a big hug.

.

“WOW! Did you miss me so much?” Molly joked as she patted her shoulders

“Are you kidding? Why would she miss someone as annoying as you?” Kelly wearing a Teal green silk dress with single strap and red bracelet along with a goldne clip said as she rolled her eyes.

.

“This! Little, have you forgotten all your manners in my absence?” Molly said as she looked at her angrily to which Kelly just rolled her eyes and stick her tongue out.

“Why did you even have manners yourself to teach me?

“You!”

“Now stop already, we are at the palace!” Irene said as she hit thiwr head with her knuckles.

.

“Yeah, but when will they come down? I can’t wait to see Rose dance!” Molly as a supportive friend said as she kept looking at the entrance hall.

“Me too! Actually most of the people present here are for her only. Some to praise her and some to attack her.” Kelly said as her eyes stopped at Irene who was entering the hall with her father.

.

“Green suits her…a lot…” Irene said as she looked at her form the mint green dress bubble grass with a golden leaf belt on her hair along with a golden bangle on her both the writs.

Her hair was let open and curled for her shoes it were of skin tones with red soels.

.

“Hmm, weridly enough she looks good in everything.” Molly said as sighed and just then a maid walked past them,

“Wait, can you tell us where Lady Willson is?”

” Madam Molly, Lady Willson is her alloted room getting ready for the ball, please with for a while she would be done soon.” The maid said and left hurriedly.

.

“Hello, wow looks like the moon has really landed just here.” Violet said as she walked towards them and hugged each of them with a smile on her face which made Irene more uncomfortable as she couldn’t think of any circumstances where such a perfect girl could do something so wicked.

.

“(It can be anyone but not her…I believe it.)” This were the first thought Irene had when she saw Violwt standing infornt of her with with kind and pretty smile of hers.

.

“Come on, how could you compare us with the moon, especially when it’s Rose’s day to shine. Anyway, I heard rose is her room how about we go and greet her!” Molly suggested and all the other girls agreed to it.

.

“Lady Willson, is so pitiful today is supposed to be a bug day for jer but because of the Duke’s sudden marquee declaration she is devastated.” .

“Not only that, there are rumours about her losing her temper and having a fight with the duke.”

“No wonder, the Duke is not present here..”

.

“(So annoying! This bi*ches know well enough that I can hear them but still.they dare to say dthere and talk about me.)” Rose though as she checked her outfit which was a red dress exactly like a rose made of deep shade of red styled with a sliver bracelet and earrings pairing up with sliver shoes as for her hair it was tied in a braid.

.

“Ha, how long do we need to wait?” Harris who was assisting Rose asked the maids.

“Just a few more minutes, the crown Prince will be here soon.” She said and exited the room.

.

“Harris, you should head down now. What do you think those people must be thinking, that no one form the dukehold attended the ball.”

“But sister…Who will take–”

“I can take care if myself, so juts go down.” Rose said with a little force on her vocie and Harris nodding his head left the room.

.

On his way down, he meet the trope which was heading towards Rose. They greeted each other expect for Irene who was amused by how everything upstairs was exactly thr way she saw in her dream.

And Harris too didn’t say anything as he thought she was still uncomfortable with them.

.

“So Rose is staying here…then let’s head in—”

“Madam Molly!! You are urgently called to the center of the hall and are forbidden form loving around.” A junior in training said as he bowed towards her and a upset Molly unwilling had to go back to the palce she came form.

.

So, only Kelly and Irene and Violet headed inside and with every step Irene’s heartbeat alo rose up.

“(Irene don’t worry nothing you saw in dream would come true all this are nothing. This is drama futhermore as long as I and Kelly are here nothing like that of dream would happen. Yeah-)”

.

“Ahh!”

“Oh I am so sorry! My bad Kelly are you okay? What to do your clothes would get stained.”

“No worries, there are many dresses here juts pick one of your size and change in the changing room.

.

“But then one of us should stay with you…or else Harris would scold us to death.” Kelly said as she looked at Irene and Violet.

.

“(Or maybe I am wrong…No I can’t leave–)”

“I will–”

“Let Violet stay here and Irene can go with you.”

“Okay.”

“And here I already picked a dress for you, it as the same color ad earlier one but a little fancier, it will suit you.” Violet said as she handed the dress to Kelly.
