Irene The Lady Who Turned Down Fate - Chapter 216

Back to Present,

“(Just how can I accept this?…)” Ash thought as he sighed and slides downward.

“I just want to return…”

.

“Ash!!” Irene shouted as she opened her eyes with sweat driping off her forhead, her breath was inconsistent and heavy.

“My Lady! What wrong why did you shout out of blue?” Hana said as she ran inside the room.

.

“Hana….Did any news of Ash come foemt he

academy?” Irene asked as she removed the blankets and jumped down her bed.

“My Lady, please calm down and there is no news of young Master yet. He must be at the academy safe and sound.” Hana said as she understood the reason Irene will look for Ash with such pale expressions would only mean sje is worried about him.

.

“…Right he is at the academy…but…”

“My Lady, Young Master is fine. So please calm down, and do you remember what today is?” Hana asked as she made her seat down on the bed carefully.

.

“…I remember it’s…Teacher’s birth anniversary…” Irene said in a low voice as she closed her eyes.

“And today, you shouldn’t be here worrying but do what you are supposed to do.”

“I know…I need to fulfill Teacher wishes.” Irene said as she opened her eyes and looked at the violin which was polished and ready for use.

.

Irene keeps disgusting and leaving the mansion to play with the commoners kids during Sundays although many times she fails but not today she as a tribute to her late teacher goes and plays the violin for the commoners kid as this was something he told her to do if she ever feels her repaying him.

With a black dress with whute colour sje hid her face with a hat attached with a black veil and with black boots and her hair in a bun she took.the violin in her hand and jumped off the balcony.

.

Yes she jumped down the balcony, she has been doing this for the last 5 years so she is now used to it, although Hana still keeps getting thr fright everytime she does it, yet she doesn’t stop.jer as what she is doing is right.

.

Irene walked all the way to downtown on foot playing with the kids and animals she meet by the road side and looking at people she never saw before.

.

And as she reached at the heart of the street, she saw bunch of kids in a group looking around and as soon as they saw here, there eyes light up and they flashed a warm smile towards her.

.

“Sister! Sister! You are here!” The kids said while jumping around her.

“Sister, would you play that thing for us again?” A girl asked as she looked at Irene with stars in her eyes.

“Hmm, let me think…” Irene said as she closed her eyes and the kids expressions turned gloomy.

.

“Hey! Why are you making the long face? I will play the violin but you guys should sing with me!” Irene said as she smiled and to her surprise instead of being happy the kids face turned dark.

.

“Kids? What’s wrong? Why did your expressions become more dark?” Irene asked in a worried tone but they didn’t answer. So she kneeled down to make herself as the same height as them and asked again.

.

“Is it because you don’t want to sing with me? Well it’s fine if you don’t want to I won’t force you but please don’t become so sulky.” Irene said as she looked at them while making a small pout.

“…Sister…it’s not like that…we want to…sing with you…but..” The little girl said as she played with her finger while the other kids nodded their head.

.

“Music isn’t for the lower class.” A voice from behind said and all the kids flinched, they were so scared that all of them ran and hide behind Irene.

“…Ha, you little chicks I told you to complete the work but you are here playing around with soem strange person. You all must really have a death wish!” That ill tempered Lady who was probably in her 50s and quite old fashioned siad as she pointed her hand fan towards Irene.

.

“Don’t say anything about Sister, she didn’t do anything wrong!” The little girl said in a trembling voice.

“Right, I shouldn’t blame her instead I should bring her to the town office and file a case against her. Just how could she tell such low class kids to sing! Or even listen to music! That too a violin.” That women said as she rose one of her eyebrows, as if she was observing something.

.

“(This women doesn’t seem right and jsuing by her looks she must be a noble too, but in this area vey few noble families live and most of them are known to me so who is this lady? She can’t be a traveller’s or just a passer by as she knows about the town office and is familiar with the kids.)” Irene thought as she looked at her dress which was a plane floral dress upto her toes and a light pink pearl necklace in her neck along with a hat which had feathers attached to it.

.

Irene was busy running her mind so she didn’t realize that women was standing every close to her and observing her closely.

.

“I got it! You…You aren’t a commoner right! And looking at your dress you are not higher then that of count level and are probably form a well known family or else why would you bother hiding your face.

And the most funny thing is even after being a noble you are singing around this commoner. You must be a stain to your family name.” She said and Irene didn’t get her point but when she did it was already too late for to take action as someone was already doing that for her.

.

“And you are a pain in my neck!” A girl around the age of 13 said as she held her hands. Her lush pink hair which were curled up and in a ponytail felt kind of familiar to Irene.

.

“Kiddo, what are you doing here? And why are you wearing such a lousy dress again! I told you so many times nobles like us should dress up gracefully.” That Lady scolded her as she didn’t really like she view of her whute crop top with full sleeves and yellow floral skirt with a brown corset in her waist.

.

“Can you please stop!” The girl said her voice raised quite a bit which made the old lady eveb more annoyed,

“How dare you raise your voice against me!”saying that she pushed her away but luckily Irene was standing behind her so she caught her on time.

.

“Are you okay?” Irene asked as she held her and the girl who closed her eyes as a defense mechanism after hearing her voice opened her hes suddenly which surprised Irene but when she looked at her carefully, her happiness knew no bounds.

.

“Lady Maxim” Irene said as she smiled,

“Lady Winter!” Sam said as she was able to see her face from that position.

.

“Stupid girl why are taking with such a low class girl! Come here!” That old women said as she pulled Sam to her side and glared at Irene.

“What are saying! She isn’t like that!” Sam said as she struggled getting free form her tight grip.

.

Irene who was till now tolerating her mean and rude words could no longer stand it, as now she was truly creating a scene, with passing by people looking at them and she couldn’t just stand there and see Sam in trouble.

.

“(Hah…I wanted to spend today in a peaceful manner but…)”

“Madam *removes her veil* could you please let her go.” Irene said as she held her cap in one hand and took a few step towards her with a smile.

“Huh? Isn’t that her?”

“She has a shop just nearby right?”

“She is form the winter family.” People which included both the commoners who kept seeing her waking down the streets and nobles who have heard about her talked and whispered.

.

“Winter family….it’s sound a bit familiar..” The women said as she looked at the ground, while slowly letting go of Sam hand.

Irene sign this as a good chance pulled her by her side.

.

“Madam, looks like you know my family, but still let me introduce myself. I am the eldest daughter of Witner family, Irene Bedisa Winter and taking your age in mind I won’t charge you for speaking ill of me but….if you try to harm this kid *pats Sam’s head* I won’t stay this calm.” Irene said as she smiled while Sam who is familiar to her knew that her words shouldn’t be taken lightly but at the same time so couldn’t just stay there hiding behind her back.

.

“Lady Winter…”

Sam said as she stood in front of her….
