Irene The Lady Who Turned Down Fate - Chapter 205
“What in the world….Lady Willson…” Madam said as she looked at her form top to the bottom. Her messy hair and blood trained dress made her look more like a home wrecker then that of a respected dance partner.
“Madam…something happened…I am sorry…” Rose said as she bowed towards her with a guilty look on her face.
.
“But…” For someone like her who has been looking after the all the candidates since generation to generation without any mistake. This was something like a bug stigma OK her name and prestige which she has been preserving since ages.
.
“Tell me…will you be able to accompany the crown Prince? Don’t think about anything else just tell me according to your body condition…will you be able to handle it?” She also calmly while looking at Rose who looked at her and then at her knees.
.
“…I really want to…but *tries to stand up and a sting of pain rushes over her body* ahh! I don’t think I will be able to to…I am really really sorry…” Rose said and Madam just went near her and made her sit down while putting her hand on hers.
.
“Its okay, there are many things which are not in our control…and I don’t blame you after all I have seen how dedicated you were, so don’t feel bad and stop making that face. Lady Willson only a confident look looks good on you.” She said while placing a hand on her head.
“…But what now? Who will dance with the Prince?” Violet asked as she looked at Madam who seemed to be thinking about the same thing.
.
“(Why is she being so involved with the dance….in my dream….I saw violet with the Prince…so does that mean now too things will go according to the novel…but…does that mean Violet in the original novel too did the same thing to Rose as she did today…)” Irene thought as she looked at Violet and then at Rose.
.
“(Thats not possible…I mean why would violwt do something so extreme when she is the female lead….but what I saw today was a truth too…but why!!)” Irene thought as she clenched her fists and something blurry came over her eyes which made her a bit dizzy but it was not strong one so she was still standing straight.
.
The vision were fast but clear and somehow it got pasted in her head and like a movie it kept replaying itself again and again.
.

“When will the dance begin?”
“Who knows? And why are you getting so excited, Nor The Prince nor Lady Willson like you…”
“So what? I like them and for me that us all that matters.” Violet said as she smiled at the lady beside her and Irene who was admiring her pretty face and cheerful personality smiled whole drinking her drink when suddenly someone bumped into her.
And her drink spilled over her dress.
.
“I am so sorry! I didn’t see you there, oh no your dress got dirty. I am so sorry…how about I take you to the washroom? You can take care of the stain there.” Kelly said as she pulled a confused Irene our of the crowd and took her upstairs towards the restroom where she can take care of her clothes.
.
“I will be waiting outside, call me if you need any help.” Kelly said as she looked at Irene with a guilty look on her eyes.
“Okay.” Irene famous for her quietness said as she smiled a little while looking at her.
.
*sigh* “This stain is so getting worse with water…maybe I should just go back home…it’s better then walking around embrassed.” Irene talked to herself while leaving the restroom.
.
“Lady Smith, this—” But as she walked outside what she saw was not Kelly waiting for jer but it was Violet pushing Rose, which made her roll down the stairs.
“I am sorry…” Violet said as her cheerful personality turned cold and her pretty smile was now replaced with an evil smirk.
.
And Irene who saw all that could mo longer feel her fit as she felt numb and lefless all over.
“What in the world just happen..” She fianlly said but because of the pressure else said it out too loud, loud enough for Violet to hear and feel nervous all over.
.
“You—who are you?” She asked with a cold voice and bright smile. Irene didn’t answer her and tied to run away as northern how slow she is she knew when to run and when to fight.
.
But there were things he didn’t knew and one if it was the fact that Violet was no ordinary and with just one finger she fell down on the ground with a loud thud.
“Ouch!” She said while touching her hand which hit the floor too hard and was now swollen.
.
“Your voice is very unique and attractive, no wonder you don’t interact much or else people might get very much addicted to you, Don’t you think so? Lady Winter.” She said while placing a hand on her shoulder and as soon as their eyes meet she could see her eyes becoming bright and something tingling inside her head but it didn’t last long.
.
“Impossible!! Why aren’t my powers working on you.” She said while violently shaking Irene, and since she has always been a weakling she couldn’t handle so much pressure and ended up becoming unconscious.
.
[Memory End]
“And that was how, Violet in the past ended up becoming the crown Prince dance partner…” Irene said as she looked at her reflection in the mirror.
Her hands were still shaking and her heart no near to being a normal rate.
.
“I think chossing Lady Carot would be the best choice now, as she was the runner up and be it grace or elegance she is good at both.” Madam said as she looked at Rose who was now in charge to choose someone as the prince partner.
.
“….Sorry but I don’t think, violwt would be a good choice because no matter how good she is, her co operating with his Highness is very low and messy as we have seen before…” Rose said and madam agreed to her.
(A/N: Violet has gone out for a while)
.
“But if not her then who?”
just when madam asked that question Irene came out of the washroom.
“I will do it!” Irene said with a determined look.
.
“I know my performance before was not up to the mark but I have made much advancement into the past days and….most importantly I have great co operating with his Highness.” Irene said as she kept bowed towards Madam.
“Please give me a chance.”
.
“Fine, then I choose you.” Rose said as she smiled at Irene and Madam who has always thought of Rose as the best couldn’t believe her ears as according to her Irene erase no where near to even the consideration list.
.
“Lady Willson, are you sure? You want to chosse Lady Winter?”
“Madam, trust me no one is a better choice choice Irene. And I guess this would be the est birthday present his highness could ever get.” Rose said as she assured Madam to believe Irene.
.
“Lady Willson, I am keeping my fate in your choice….so Lady Winter you better not disappoint us.” Madam said in a serious tone as she looked at Irene who didn’t even flinch with he sharp looks and tone.
.
“I will do my best!” She said while bowing towards her and Rose.
“Now quit this talking and get ready I will send someone to doll you up. And Lady Willson, please come out with me you need to be checked by the physician.” She said while giving rose a hand and both of them left the room.
.
“Quit your act and come out, Violet.” Irene said as she turned around and saw Vioelt entering the room through the door with a dark expression on her face.
“Irene, you have got quiet sharp ears don’t you think so? And at the same time some golden luck too…otherwise how could a lord daughter who couldn’t even make it to the second round become his highness dance partner.” She said while pushing her against the wall.
.
“You are right. But why do you look so pissed off? My dear friend don’t tell me…where you look forward to become his dance partner? Which is why you made Rose to fall down deliberately.”
Her straight forward questions were now touching Violet nerves and making her annoyed and angry.
.
“Wow, you ears and face us turing red…I must be right. Violet…you have disappointed me.” Irene said as she removed her hands and walked past her.
“Disappointed…Ha! Who do you think you are to be disappointed in me and Irene don’t act as if you are great….afterall who doesn’t want power? Everything you have been doing since we meet till now is all for power…isn’t it, Mt dear friend..” Violet said as she smiled at Irene who didn’t say anything but instead opend the door for her to leave.
