Chapter 117 - Accept

With lighting all around and people for me he high nobility as well as the other royal families, the crown prince walked down the stairs with his dance partner hand in hand, her red hair which seemed like roses bounced in the air and her elegant steps made the evening more passionate. 

But as she walked down out of a sudden she fell down with a loud thud that destroyed both her rosy hair and her legs that got cramped.

.

"This is bad, now who will the crown Prince dance with?"

"Lady Wilson was the best dancer and was chosen by the emperor himself, I don't think there is anyone better than her." 

Many whispers filled the ballroom and all the eyes darted at the crown prince.

.

"I apologise for my mistake." Rose who was returning to the restroom said as she turned around to leave when suddenly a Violet passed through her as she held onto his highness hands.

"If Lady Wilson can't then I will dance with him after all I am the best dancer after her." She said as she looked at the crown prince.

.

No one dared to disagree with her because they could already see the admiration in the crown prince eyes which was nowhere present when he was dancing with Rose.

"Lady Carot will be my dance partner." The crown prince proposed as he gently held onto Violet hand and everyone in the hall looked at them with dreamy eyes.

.

"The pleasure would be mine," Violet said as she slightly bowed towards him and both of them started dancing under the moonlight as their heart raced for each other.

But little did they know in such a romantic moment where everything seemed right for Violet, Rose on the hand who was humiliated in front of everyone sworn to never let Violet take her place again.

.

"And That was how the war between them for the prince affection started, literally it was the second season of the novel." Irene talked to herself as she remembered the context of the original novel while looking at the invitation.

.

"And if I am right after the debut party Violet officially became every ladies enemy and every man's dream girl. She got bullied, harassed and also went through a death like situations just because of Rose whose pride was hurt...

.

Although both of them are good friends now I wonder would things really be okay? Because a little disturbance there would mean a lot of chaos here so to not make things hard I decided to accept the invite,

.

I know I won't be his dance partner but at least I can make sure that this time Rose won't be humiliated and Violet won't become a subject of bullying." Irene talked to herself as she looked at herself in the mirror.

.

"Hah, even though my role from this nov had long ended I still can't completely leave it....after all, they are the people I care about so there is no way I would ever let them get hurt." 

.

"But what training would the candidates receive? Would it be hard?... Should I practice dancing a bit? *stands up* even though I am somewhat good I still don't want to embarrass myself in front of others." Saying that Irene started to dance alone in slow music until Hana entered her room making Irene's ears turn red from shyness.

.

"Hana! Why didn't you knock before entering?" She asked as she quickly stopped the music.

"My lady, I knocked and called for you many times but you didn't listen so I just came in to check if you are fine....but looks like you are doing great," Hana said with a playful look on jer face which made Irene blush even more.

.

"Hana! It's not like...I was just practising just in case I forgot some steps." Irene said in a low voice as she sat down before the mirror.

.

"Yes, Yes my lady I understand. And I came here just for that reason only." Hana said as she passed a bulky catalog to Irene.

"What is this? So heavy." Irene said as she kept the catalog on the table and looked through the pages which contained lots of dresses design that stood out for their reasons.

.

"This catalog was sent by the lord, my lady can choose any dress you want from them," Hana said as she smilied at Irene who looked confused at the sudden appearance of the catalog.

.

"Hana, I already have so many dresses why do I need to buy more? Not to mention we ordered some just before the anniversary celebration." 

.

"My lady, you are still growing and unlike boys, girls grow faster and just in case you don't have any discomfort the Lord wants to make sure the dressed are up to your fit." 

.

"Okay~ but these dresses are so pretty, is father not afraid of me buying more than we could afford," Irene asked in a joking tone.

"I am not afraid in fact I would like it if you order more," Raymond said as he entered the room.

.

"Father!" 

"My Lord." 

"Why are you here? And why are you being all spendthrift?" Irene asked as she looked at Raymond with suspicious eyes.

.

"Just because I want my children to have all they want. And I know at this age you kids have a fantasy for lots of things and I want to try my best to make those fantasies true." Raymond said as he patted Irene's head.

.

"Father, what if we become spoiled by this treatment?" Ash who entered the room with a catalog in his hand said. 

"Spoiled...Hmm, I wonder if you two can ever reach that level. Even now, you guys think so much before buying a single thing that I don't think you would be able to become a spoiled child in this life." Raymond said as he looked at both the siblings who couldn't say anything to him as what he said was true.

.

"Umm, Miss, Young Master have you two chosen what you want to buy," Hana asked as she tried to change the topic.

"Not yet..." Both of them said in a low voice which made Raymond sigh.

.

"Let's leave this for now and I want to announce something!....I...I accepted the invite!" Irene said as she looked at Raymond and Ash who didn't look even a bit surprised by her answer.

.

"I see then you have to leave for the training form tomorrow morning." 

"Father you know about her schedule than can you send me a copy too." 

"Of course, I can."

"Thanks!" 

.

Both of them started talking casually leaving Irene dumbfounded.

"WAIT! I just told you I am accepting the invite and this is your reaction?" Irene asked in a frustrated tone.

.

"Yes...or else how did you think we would react."' Ash said as he shrugged his shoulders.

"Of course I would expect you to be shocked or disappointed after all I chose to do it even though you were against it," Irene said as she looked at them.

.

"Irene, you are right we were indeed against this but you forgot the fact that when it comes to you we are ready to compromise. So no matter where you are and what is before you just choose what your heart wants and the rest leave it on us." Raymond said as he patted her head.

.

" We have always got your back," Ash said and Irene couldn't help but smile as she was glad to know that she got a family which will always stand beside her, she was happy because she had a place to call home and a place she could return to anytime she wanted.

.

"Thank you," Irene said in her tiny voice as she hugged both of them.

"Now now don't get all emotional and remember it's fine if you don't get selected as his highness dance partner. But don't get all stressed up for it." Ash said as he held onto her hand.

.

"I will keep your words on the d, it's time for dinner," Hana said as she looked at the time.

.

"Okay then, kids shall we have our dinner?" Raymond asked as he looked at both the kids who just nodded their heads. And with that bit of them exited the room together.

.

After dinner,

"All done! Now let's just wait for Tomorrow!" Irene who completed her chores for today said as she lay on the bed.

"Despite me rose, violet would be there but I can't remember others....most of them weren't from our empire.." She talked to herself as she wrote three of their names on the paper and tried to remember others

.

"Will they create a mess? I forgot the parts of the novel although I remember some major events. And the prince debut hall is surely the most important episode of the novel." Irene talked to herself as her eyes and

the face only came in front of his eyes.

"( would he be there?)"
