Irene The Lady Who Turned Down Fate - Chapter 226
After a while when Kellly fell asleep after crying for an hour or so, Molly stroked her hair and sighed.
“Come out! And help me or so you want your life saver to lay on the cold floor?” Molly said and suddenly the door opened and revealed Harris who was listening to their words since the beginning.
.
“I will carry her.” He said as he kneeled on the ground and gently took her to her room while carrying her in a bridal style.
“She must be around 40kg but you are carrying her as if she is nothing even though you at heaving a fever. The training at the royal academy must be great!” Molly said as she walked alongside him.
.
“Yeah, it’s indeed great there.”
“…You heard everything…and probably saw a side of hers she would have never wanted you to see. Now, what are you thinking of doing?” Molly asked as she opened the door of Kelly’s room.
Harris didn’t say anything and just laid her down in the bed with care making sure not to wake her up and looked at her for a moment before covering her with a blanket and leaving the room followed by Molly.
.
“What do you want me to do?”
“Well, what do you think, you as the only son of the duke can do? Especially when you are yourself so powerless not to mention…you are even unable to alone your own family problems.” Molly said as she kept the facts right before him.
.
“I understand what you are trying to say…and I agree with you but even if I’m all useless when it came to my family, I won’t let the same thing happen here. So, no matter how big or small help you need just ask me, I will help you even if it means to give on everything…” He said as he slowly turned his head towards Kelly who was sleeping peacefully in her bed.
.
“Your words seem to be very warm and attractive but, I still prefer it if you just live quietly…I promised Rose to take care of you in her absence so don’t make things hard for both of us…and if you want to help then…just stay by her side and that would be enough.”
“I would do that even if you don’t order me too.’ Harris said as Molly walked passed him.
.
“Great then, now go back and sleep it’s late.” Saying that Molly returned to her room, so did Harris.
Whereas in the southern kingdom, Rose was riding a horse and walking past the dark forest hurriedly.
“Just a little more and I will reach solar!”
“Sister…just what can I do?” He thought before drifting to sleep.
.
The next day at the winter Mansion,
“Ash, what do your think about this one?”
“It’s pretty but its stems are too weak, they will break the moment you get to twist them, better use another one.”
“Hmm, okay!”
With the sun shining brightly and the wind blowing pleasantly. Both the siblings thought of going out and spending some time together as well as making some garland for each other.
.
“Young Lady and Young Master your snacks are here.”
“Hana, wow! You bought so many items and they are all our favourite.”
“My Lady, they are true all your favourite but remember your teeth condition so you better control yourself or else you know only.”
“Okay~,” Irene said as she nodded her head obediently while touching the left side of her face.
.
“Why? What’s wrong with her teeth?” Ashton asked as he teased her with a sweet came on his plate.
“What else can it be except for cavity.” Molly who was joining them said as she walked towards them wearing a simple floral dress along with a basket.
.
“Molly Welcome! And you are saying it as if I get cavity now and then!”
“Well, when for the last 5 years you went to the dentist in every 3 months and yet you never get over the sweets,” Molly said as she sat near her and opened the basket insure which were some freshly baked buns.
.
“But sister, you aren’t a sweet tooth person so how come you got to the doctor so many times?”
“Well…it might be because I had to eat everything alone….”
“What??”
.
“Young Master, Young Lady missed you so much that she would order us to bring the exact amount of snacks both if you used to have together and to not feel lonely she used to eat all of it all alone,” Hana whispered into his ears while Irene was busy having the freshly baked buns with butter that slowly melted on top of it.
.
Ash looked at her and all of sudden snatched the bun from her hand and are it himself.
“Hey! Ash that one was for me.” Irene said as she pouted looking at him munching it all down in one go.
.
“Let him be, Irene here I made another one for you.”
“Thank Y—” Before Irene’s hands could even reach the bun, Ashton snatched it again and are it once again.
.
“Are you trying to fight with me?” Irene asked with a smile.
“Ashton you must like buns a lot, here I guess you this whole pack have as much as you want but don’t snatch hers,” Molly said as she forwards a pack of buns towards him but Ashton just ended up taking the whole basket with him.
And the next thing he did surprised them even more.
.
He opened the basket and started having the buns one after another non-stop until the moment he choked.
“Ashton! What are you trying to do? Eating all this on your own do you want to get sick?” Irene said as she grabbed his hands and tapped his back with strength.
.
“Why—why didn’t you say this to yourself earlier? Didn’t you know well the consequences of overeating?” Ashton scolded her and Irene. Looked at Hana who was fully supporting Ashton.
“I–I—I won’t do it again…so can bith if stop lokomg at me like that..and *changes the subject* Molly why didn’t Kelly come with you? I invited her too.”
.
“Oh, she is feeling a little under the weather…so she refused to come. But Don’t worry she will be fine very soon.’
“That’s good but anyways I heard you will be taking a break from knightship now.”
“Yeah…there things which need to be taken care of and you know Kelly is on edge ever since mother and father left so…I need to take care of her too.”
.
“Left? Left to where? Southern or northern kingdom or maybe the western kingdom?” Ash asked as he sipped his drink not really aware fo their deaths.
“To the…heavenly kingdom.” Molly said as she looked at Ash and he chocked once again.
.
*cough* *cough*
“Heavely—I’m sorry—but how? It’s just so sudden.” Ashton said as he wiped off the drink they spilled over his shirt.
.
“No one knows they first dissapersd and then thier bodies were suddenly discovered at the near the ocean…”
“It was a well planned murder *Molly and Eveyone’s turned toward her* and I have proof stating it!”
.
“Molly are you sure of it? Are you really not mistaken?” Irene said as she held her hands which were shaking slightly.
“If it’s a murder then…it might be quite messy and dangerous..” Ashton who has learned everything at the royal academy said as he looked at Molly with a serious tone.
.
“It doesn’t matter, as long as I can take that person or those people down.” Molly said as she smiled while looking at Irene whose gaze was getting worried.
“Molly…Remmber to turn towards us too and Don’t handle everything on your own.” Irene said as he smiled while looking at her.
“Sure, you will the first person I will look whenever I face difficulty, so you better stay ready. I will call you anytime.”
.
“Okay deal!” Irene said as she forwarded her hand and Molly accepted it with a smile that never left her face.
.
Meanwhile Rose arrived at the capital and was searching for a place to crash at.
Luckily since 5 years have passed since she left her face has changed a lot so no one was able to recognize her and she was given a place to stay with ease.
“Now, I just need to wait for the right moment and…somehow I need to meet him. He is the only one who can help me…” Rose though as she looked at the clander on the wall where she circled a date which was just a month away from now with a red pen.
.
“In this one month, I need to prepare everything after all it’s my debut ball.” Rose said as she looked at the calnder lifelessly.
“We only have one month to prepare for her debut ball!” Raymond said to the butler and Ashton who were planning alongside him for Irene’s debut ball.
.
“One month more to go….my…debut ball…” A girl looking at her reflection said as she smiled while her eyes shined red all of a sudden…
