Irene The Lady Who Turned Down Fate - Chapter 227
“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..
….
At the Winter Mansion,
It was a pleasent morning which was getting nosy for Irene.
“Sister, which one do you think would look good on me?”
“Ashton, it’s your graduation ceremony dress in whatever way you want to.”
.
“Sister, you know my clothing sense is worsen then my cooking sense so please help me. I don’t want to leave a bad impression on the professor and it is going to be held at the royal palace so of course I can’t dress in whatever way.” Ashton said as he threw one after another suit at his bed.
.
“…not to mention, I’m going to apply for the knight training soon so I need to leave a good impression!”
Irene who was reading her food at the dinner silently closed her book, removed her glasses and walked towards him.
.
“Okay, since you are insisting me so much I will help you but later you must come downtown with me.”
“Downtown? why?”
“Don’t ask me why and all! Just answer me yes or no?”
Ash thinks for a while,
“Hey, I don’t have so much of free time just say yes or no? Or else I will be leaving now–”
“Okay! Okay! I will go downtown with you. Now help me with my clothes.”
.
“Sure get ready we will be leaving for downtown now!” Irene said as she picked up her glasses and book form the table.
“Wait! Why are we leaving now? Can’t you chose the clothes for me first?” Ashton asked as he held her wrist and looked at her while making a cute face.
.
“You and your tactics are still the same—this clothes looks dull during spring. So we should some new ones from head to the toe you need to change.” Irene said with fire burning inside her eyes which sacred Ashton a little.
“Sister the look in your eyes is making me regret my decision.” Ashton said as he smiled while looking at her direction.
“Don’t be dramatic, let’s go!!” Irene said as she dragged him out if his room.
.
“Young Master, Young Lady where are you two going?”
“Hana we are going downtown for shopping and we will probably have lunch outside so don’t wait and worry about us!” Irene said as she pulled Ash by his sleeves while waving towards Hana with that hands she had been holding her books and specs.
.
“By the way Sister is there anything you want at the moment?” Ash asked as they went inside the carriage.
“Yes! There is–”
“Really what is it?”
“Its—shaved ice cream, I have been craving for it since morning but if I told others they would tie me up but won’t let me have it so I have to sneak put like this with you as my shield.” Irene said as she smiled while dreaming about her favorite mango shaved ice cream while Ashton just shook his head in disbelief.
.
“Shaved Ice cream? So, this is the real reason for which we are going downtown?”
“Yeah”
“Sister you—just chose the right clothes for me..” Ash said as he sighed and Irene just shrugged not understanding his behavior.
