Irene The Lady Who Turned Down Fate - Chapter 209

In the Winter Villa,

“What are you doing? I told you not to use dark colours curtains. It’s no longer winter anymore.” A women under her early 20s said as she scolded the younger maids.

“Head Maid Hana! Please forgive us. Qe forgot about it.” The you her maids around the age of 16 or 17 said as they bowed towards her.

.

“…Ha, you are a new batch here so I won’t blame you but still make sure not to do make such mistakes again. Now stop standing there like statues and start working.” She said as she shook her head and all of the girls like a flock of chickens ran in the same direction with the curtains.

.

“Hana, aren’t you working a bit too hard in such an early morning?” A man in his 20s said as he walked towards her his hair was nicely combed and reddish in colour with a pair of black eyes and height of around 176cm.

“Justin, as a butler in training shouldn’t you be working hard too? Just like your father Butler Bill.” She said as she walked towards him while crossing her arms and resting them near her chest.

.

“I am working hard okay, it’s just you who can see it but whatever Head Maid I am not here to argue with you.”

“Good thing cuz I deleted the same.”

“You!…The Lord is looking for the young Lady. So, can you go and wake her up.” He said controlling his rage.

.

“okay no problem.” Hana said as she turned around but bumped into another newly appointed maid who was of short height and timid personality.

“Sorry, did you hurt anywhere?” Hana asked as she checked on that girl.

“No I am fine…but HeadMaid, are you looking for the young Lady?”

.

“Yeah I am.”

“But head maid she isn’t present at the mansion, I saw her leaving early in the morning and till now there is no sign of her return.” That maid said and with each word Hana’s face became darker and darker, Justin who knew her too well thanks to the corporation they have been working under for the last 5 years could see what’s coming next was too bad for Irene.

.

“So, that means she ran way again without informing anyone. This is the 7th time in a month—-Justin tell the driver to get ready we will be leaving right now.”

“Okay but do you know exactly where she went?”

“Of course, I know.” Hana said as she looked at the sky.

.

Whearas the Winter Mansion was having a hectic morning, a young lady hiding her face with a mask and holding a violin in her hand stood in the heart of the market, her blue dress matched well with the sky and her brown boots talked with the sliver pavement.

She looked and the people passing and walking by some with smiling faces while some still in daze. Some having stretch marks while some holding their newly born babies in their hand.

.

She sat down at the bench located there when suddenly a little girl around the age of 5 came and bumped into her.

“Ouch! Huh? I am sorry miss did I hurt you?” That little girl asked politely to which the young lady smiled and patted her head.

.

“I should be the one asking you that, little one are you hurt?” She asked with her soft and pleasant voice.

“I am okay too..” she said while suddenly her eyes landed at the violin with curiosity.

.

“Do you like violin?”

“Hmm, violin? Is that thing called Violin? I didn’t know that but I heard some big brothers playing it in the other side of the alley.”

“Really then did you like it?”

“I did…but I couldn’t hear it for long…as it suddenly started raining and they had to stop in between.”

.

“I see then…would you like it if I play a song for you?” She said and that little girl nodded her in joy.

And with that she started playing the violin followed by her melodious voice,

“I once saw a dream,

With the sky painted in blue

Flowers whispering….

The Story of me and you,

Hmm, Hmm, Hmm

I once saw a dream

With the sky painted in blue

Flowes whispering…

The story of me and you

.

Then the stars came to

Give us some company

With the comfort song

Of truth

And I woke up in my bed

Without you….

Without you….

.

But then again

Came the lullaby of mom,

Telling me about the tale of prince

Looking for his princess in his white horse

And I drifted to a land called the dream….

Where I meet you

Once again…

.

I once saw a dream

With the sky painted in blue,

Flowers whispering…

The story of me and youuu…”

As the song ended the young lady opend her eyes and looked around for to see a huge ceownd surrounding her and the little girl who was sitting beside her capped her hands and soon it was folowd by the others.

.

That girl got a little flustered but she still warmly accepted their appreciation towards her and bowed towards them with respect.

“Thank you for listening.” She said while bowing when suddenly she felt a hand on her shoulder and when she turned around, she saw no other then Hana standing there with a pissed off look on her face.

.

“Huh?”

“You sing really well, I guess your throat must be dry by now how about having some water *comes close to her ear and whispers* My Lady.” She said with a smile and the girl smirks while removing her hands form her shoulder.

.

“Sure, I am indeed thirsty Hana.” She says while removing her mask right there reveling her face which could melt anyone heart away.

Her sapphire eyes shined withe the sunlight falling on her and her black hair played along with the soft flowing wind. With the height of 166cm there stood our female lead, Irene Bedisa Winter. (Age: 15)

.

“My Lady, why do you always keep on running away? It’s not like we won’t allow you to play. Or maybe it’s because of your Adolescent?” Hana said while combing Irene straight black hair.

“Hanna…I just want to experience the self independence which I can’t experience while being under everyone’s care here so I have no other choice except for running away.” Irene said as she smiled while her eyes landed ona letter beside her table.

.

“This letter?”

“OH I almost forget about that, it was sent by the young master this morning.” Hana said as she looked at Irene whose face got gloomy all of a sudden.

.

“My Lady….you miss young master a lot right?”

“It has been 6 years Hana how could I not miss him…actually it’s not just about him….” Irene said as she stood up and looked at the garden where flowers have started blooming.

.

“My Lady, I shall take my leave now…” Hana understanding the fact that right now Irene needs some personal space left the room along with the other maids.

.

“It has been 5 years…since everything happened….”

Irene thought as she took a quick recap to the past few years.

.

After the ball,

Sam left the winter mansion and went back to her own home which was more heart breaking then the winter family thought it would be,as she no less the a family member to them.

Especially for Ashton, as after Irene she was the one whom Ashton cared for and trusted the most.

But he too didn’t have enough time for sorrows as soon after she left, Ashton had to leave for the academy too along with Harris, and both the Princes.

.

And Rose after the incident at the ball which was clearly not her fault….was still punished by her family for letting go such a golden opportunity and they was grounded for 3 years where she was trained to become the perfect lady. And after that she was sent to the northern kingdom for futher studies.

.

Molly got busy with her schedule and training and for Kelly without Molly all the house responsibilities were in her shoulders.

.

And for violet….after the ball no one saw her again, some say that she was sent back to the outskirts for her poor health and during the past 5 years she keeps visiting the capital once or twice but there is no communication between her and others.

.

So more or else Irene spent the ladt 6 years alone…

.

“Just like that….5 years passed…..but now it’s time for everyone to return. Afterall it’s Spring and *looks at the clander* my debut ball is going to be held soon.” Irene said to herself as she smiled.

“(Eveyone…please come back soon…I miss you…)”

.

“My Lady, it’s time for breakfast please come out.” Hana said as she knocked at the door.

“Coming!” Irene said as she turned around and ran out of the door just like before.

“My Lady please don’t run like that….hah, you are still such a kid..” Hana said as she giggled while looking at her.
