Irene The Lady Who Turned Down Fate - Chapter 210

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 6 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….6 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.

“Justin are you sure about your choices?” A man in his early 40s said as he looked at a piece of paper which contained certain work.related information.

“Yes, My Lord I am sure this time I didn’t do anything wrong.” Justin said with a determined and confident look on his face but as soon as the man Aka Raymond removed his reading glasses, his expressions changed to gloomy.

.

*Sigh* “I did a mistake again…didn’t I?”

“Right, the calculations are not accurate and it’s past winter now so people won’t like buying such rough materials and dark colours.” Raymond said as he showd him the paper and pointed out his mistakes.

.

During the past 6 years, winter family which was already renewed for its handicrafts was now even engaging in the clothing industry which was started by Irene suggestion, so the company was named after her and solely belongs to her.

And Raymond looks after the accounts and materials.

.

“I am so sorry…Lord keeps on training me everyday But I still can’t get it right….I must be a bug disappointment to you and father…” Justin said as he lowered his head.

“Justin it’s–”

“Not at all like that! How could we call our future Butler as a disappointment. And as for the learning part, you will get better slowly so don’t worry and keep trying. Right father?” Irene said as she hugged Raymond with a bright smile.

.

“You are right, Justin even if you don’t listen to me, you should listen to her as in the future you are going to become her left hand along side Hana.”

“I know, My Lord and thanks for the kind and encouraging words My Lady. I will not give up and keep trying my best!”

“Thats the sprit my future confident!” Irene said as she looked at him with a proud look on her face.

.

“Now, if your planning for the future is done then how about having some breakfast?” Hana said as she glared at Justin who rolled his eyes and bowed towards Irene and Raymond before leaving the room.

.

“Hana, why do you keep treating him so harshly?” Irene asked in a joking tone.

“My Lady, please enjoy the food. You shouldn’t talk while eating.” Hana said as she gave her a plate full of food.

.

“But—I–fine.”

“Oh, right Irene where were you this morning? I called you but you weren’t at your room.”

“OH that father I was…I woke up late…so Maybe I was showering at the moment you called me…so I wasn’t able to hear you.” Irene lied to him like everytime she did while running away from the palace.

.

“I see, anyway what have you thought about the spring collection for the shop?”

“Spring has just started…and I think this time rather then designing dresses…I am thinking of making them custom made.” Irene said as she smiled.

“Custom made…but won’t that mean a lot of work? Will you be able to handle it? Every person has a different taste and style would you be able design one for each?” Raymond asked in a worried tone to which Irene just nodded her head.

.

“Father, I want to learn more about others preferences which is why I have thought of doing this and if this idea blows up then we can have some VIP customers in our shop who will be given special treatment and will have all their dresses customized. And ther regular customer can chosse form the regular designed areas.” Irene said as she explained her plan to her father.

“Your Idea seems good but tell me…won’t that make discrimination among the customers?”

.

“Father, we are not discriminating anyone. The clothes in the normal section and the VIP section are both going to made with equal effort and dedication. The only difference might be in the design and materials, and in business everything is fair.” Irene said as she wiped her mouth with a tissue paper and stood form her seat.

.

“Well of that’s how it is then I will support you.” Raymond said with smile and Irene bowed towards him while greeting him with a thank you.

.

“And Irene, while running around this business don’t forget your big day.”

“I won’t, its my debut ball where I will turn 16 how could I forget such a important date. I will be going now, see you later father.” Irene said as she left the dining room singing and jumping.

.

“Ha, I can’t believe she is going to have her debut ball now…it feels like yesterday when I held her for the fust time..” Raymond said as he wiped his specs before putting them on.

“Lord, it’s not the time to get emotional infact, we should now start preparing for her debut…and more then anything…we should worry about the young master…You know if he won’t be there then no matter how good the ball is…it would still be incomplete for the lady.” Hana said as she bowed towards him.

.

“You are right, without Ashton Irene’s ball would be incomplete…I hope he returns before her ball.” Raymond said as he stood up form the chair and sighed.

.

“Ha, my ball is around the corner…and I both excited and disappointed…Brother…where are you?” Irene talked talked herself while looking.g at the 6 years old picture of them.

.

Meanwhile,

At the outskirts of the capital and in between the mystical Forest guarded by the animal spirits stood a old building with a huge clock in its center and a door made of silver. Protected but a barrier which contains the pwoer of Sun God this was the famous and reputed Royal Academy where the Princes, Harris and Ashton were studying at the moment.

.

“Ha, Ha…where did he run too?” A boy with red hair and orange pinkish eyes said as he wiped the sweat off his forhead when suddenly a small stone passed through his ear and hit his earrings lightly. (Harris 16 years old)

.

“Ouch! That hurts!” He said while looking the person who threw that stone.

“Really? Then you should have avoided it in the first place.” The boy who threw that stone said as his golden hair shined in the sun along with his eyes and a bright yet wistful smile. (Alfred the second prince 17 years old)

.

“Shut up! You are so noisy!” A boy younger then them said as he jumped down the tree, as his brown hair bounced and his green eyes looked at them annoyingly. (Ashton 13 years old)

.

“Ashton, you are not making it any better.” A deep voice form.the behind said, all of them turned around and saw a boy with white hair and red eyes walking towards them wearing the same uniform as them and with a height of around 186cm. (Alan the crown Prince 18 years old)

.

“Your Highness, why do we think we are being like this if not for you, missing the classes and hiding around..” Ashton said as he dusted off the dust form his clothes and rose one of his eyebrows.
