Chapter 79 - Events That Keep Ouccuring

As the chaos at the ball reduced the night time came and under that cloudy sky inside the carriage, Irene was listening to the two-person perceptive but little did she know how different the situation was than the way she thought it would be.

.

"That I did for you sister," Ash said as looked at Irene. Irene who was was unaware of what he meant kept looking at him for more information but he didn't seem to answer anymore.

.

"Hey if you start something you should end it too," Irene said she shook his hand hoping that he would say something.

.

" He must be embarrassed to say it out loud," Violet said as she chuckled, while receiving a deadly glare from Ash side.

.

" What is there to be embarrassed off, I am his sister? I have seen and heard a lot of him so what's more embarrassing than this?" Irene said a she looked at Ash whose face turned red due to Irene recent comment.

.

"That's not something you should talk about, that too in a place like this..." Ash said as he covered his face whereas violet was laughing hard as if there is no tomorrow.

.

"It's because you guys are not telling me anything if you did I won't talk nonsense here like this~," Irene said as she shrugged. 

.

* sigh* "okay I am telling you...I only took this all in her place because I knew if she got hurt, you would be pressured also if something happened to her all the blame would come on our shoulders as her guardian but still it will be you who would feel the most remorseful for it." Ash explained as he looked outside the carriage, " In one word I know how much she means to sister so just for your sake I did it and now no more questions." He said he snapped his fingers.

"He is so sweet, isn't he!!" Violet said as she looked at him and smiled.

.

"Yes, he is indeed..." Irene said as she hugged him, "It feels as if I am dreaming...." Irene said in a low voice as a smile appeared on her face, because to her this happening was a sign that everything will be fine.

.

"Well looks like everything here is fine," Raymond said as he looked at them through the window.

.

"Father..." Irene said in a low voice since violet and Ash were already asleep.

.

"What took you so long? Is everything fine inside?" Irene asked as she looked at the two sleeping peacefully.

.

"Hmm, everything is fine, no need to worry....but this kids must have a hard time...especially lady carot..." Father said as he looked at her with worried eyes.

.

"Yes, they did have a hard time but father...you know what this kids are much stronger than how we think they are....so please don't worry," Irene said as she stroked Ash's hair.

.

"I understand....but did you tell something to the princes or lady smith?" Raymond asked as he rose looked at Irene, who was clueless as to the question he asked.

.

"Nevermind~~ They must have used their brains." He said as he happily entered the carriage and Irene thinking that his question didn't mean much just shrugged it off.

.

"Now that I think of it the Princes and both the ladies of the smith family never had dinner at our household? Did they?" Raymond asked as he looked at Irene with a pleased look on his face.

.

" Now that I think of it...I never invited them over! Even though we had dinner at the royals and Molly always invited me to hang out....Ha...I was so caught in the household and all that it never crossed my mind...Ugh!!! What must they think of me....A freeloader??" Irene said as she banged her head on the glass window.

.

"Don't do that!" Raymond said as he kept his hand between of glass and Irene forehead.

"You will get hurt....and no one will think of you as a freeloader at least not them," Raymond said as he patted her head.

.

Whatever Raymond said was a truth she was already aware of but still hearing it from someone else somehow gave her more assurance.

.

"....But father why are you asking about them so much today?" Irene asked as she looked at her father with suspicious eyes.

.

"That's....nothing I just felt like you should stronger your bond with your friends," Raymond said as he looked at Irene with a smile on his face. It was written on his face that he was hiding something but still Irene preferred not to force him since it didn't look like something important.

.

Whereas in Raymond mind something else was going on, If she one what was happening inside, she must have stepped in to stop them....*sigh* sometimes I wished he to be like her mother but somehow she got my forgiving personality.....so she figures everyone easily...But I am glad since she has friends who know how to put brains inside those useless beings. I wish I could have been able to see more~ He thought as he whistled.

.

Meanwhile inside the ball,

"And now just one more line and then we are done," Molly said as she put down the back paintbrush and looked at the girl in front of her. 

.

" Wow, she looks like a total fool!" Alfred said as he laughed looking at the girl's face.

.

"Brother see this isn't it funny?" Alfred said as he looked at Alan who was looking at her with a cold face.

.

" Hmm, it looks funny....but won't it be better if we let others see this too? What do you think lady balke?" Crown Prince asked her with a smile on his face as his red eyes glowed.

.

"Your..Your highness, please let me go....please..." She said as she bowed towards him. 

.

" Why should I do that? You should have thought of it while using that mouth and hands of yours against Lady Carot and Ashton." Alan said as he looked away.

.

"BUT I ALREADY APOLOGIZED TO THEM!!" That girl said as she shouted desperately.

.

"Yes you did but we aren't satisfied with it. You hurt the ones who mean a lot to Irene, and it's bold of you to think that we will let you off simply like this." Molly said as she made her stand and pushed her outside the room straight to the hall.

.

"Oh my God! What's wrong with her face?"

"Pfftttt!! So hilarious!!"

"Hey is that the drawing of poop on her head!! HAHAHA" 

"What the heck is she doing?" 

" Stop....Stop...looking at me!! Stop!!" She screamed as she runed out of the hall making everyone laugh even more since, even behind her dress the drawing of poop was made.

.

" And that's a strike!" Alfred said as he winked.

" We make a good team~ Don't we?" Molly asked as she handshake Alfred.

"We surely do~ And you are a really bad artist which is a plus point in things like this!" Alfred said as he grinned.

.

"That's a bit weird to be called as a compliment but still thank you." She said as she smiled and then looked at Alan who was lost in his thoughts.

.

"Your Highness, what's are you thinking about so deeply?" Molly asked as he stood up.

.

"I...am just thinking, did we go easy on her? Leave last time I....mfff" Alana was about to say something but Alfred stopped him.

.

"Last time?" Molly asked as she tilted her head.

"Last time...he remembered people talking behind the backs even after receiving warnings so he is just worried," Alfred said as he laughed.

.

"I see...yeah some people need some beating," Molly said as she punched in the air.

.

" Haha that's what he is saying too~~," Alfred said as she laughed awkwardly.

.

" Hmm, wait where is Kelly?" Molly said as she just noticed her absence.

.

"She must be with Harris," Alan said as he removed Alferd hand from his mouth.

.

" with him! That's weird, I hope she is not doing something weird.....ugh, I have to see her. Then your highnesses please excuse me." Molly said as she bowed towards them.

.

"Yes." Both of them said e left the room.

" So my dear brother just now were you going to tell her about what you did to that lady gray?" Alfred asked as he put pressure on his shoulders.

.

" Yes I was about to...but thankfully you stopped me," Alan said as he sat down.

.

" Hah, you need to be more careful, lady winter doesn't like it when we treat people extremely harshly. Especially when it's you." Alfred said as he exited the room too leaving Alan there in deep thoughts, as he wondered how Irene will feel when she learns about this tyranny side of him.

.

Whereas on the other side, 

*smack* " You are useless!" A woman in her early 30s said as Rose stood there silently with a red handprint on her face.
