Chapter 125 - Lady Katz Don't Cross The Line.

Violet's question though put of curiosity did make things hard for the royal brothers because the more they wanted to make her stay the more they didn't want her to become an enemy in front of others eyes.

.

"That's because of the rules." Princess Sofia (to the rescue) said as she smiled at violet whereas both the princes looked at her with a 'what' expression on their faces.

.

"Rules?" Violet asked as she faced her and for some reason, both of them really didn't enjoy each other sight.

"Lady Carot might not have paid attention to the rules and regulations we sent morning, because if you did then you would have just quietly stood there praying for her good health." Princess Sofia said as she patted her shoulders.

.

"....." Violet stayed quiet and waited for her to enlighten her with more information.

*sigh* "Looks Like you are really clueless then let me tell you...one of the basic rules after the invite was that you can't leave unless and until a dance partner is chosen for the Crown Prince.

.

Furthermore, Lady winter isn't that sick or else she would have long rejected the invite and as far as I have heard both you and Lady Willson are her good friends so you should know this better than me but again....Rumours can't really be trusted." She said as she glanced at Rose and then at Violet both of them looked least bothered by her words although she did notice the sudden flinch and frowning of their eyebrows.

.

"(She got a really unique pack of friends.....but again she herself is extraordinary~)" She thought as she smiled while looking at both the Princes taking her to room with care.

.

"(And seems like both the royal Princes care about her more than I thought...this might be a big problem for her....after all of us are here hiding our true selves. And the easiest and essential target to eliminate is her.)" Sofia thought as she looked at the other ladies faces while their eyes were stocked to wherever the Princes along with Irene went.

.

"How about we go and look after her?" Lady Hilton forwarded her suggestion as all of them sat at the table.

"Look after her? Lady Hilton, we are Ladies of respected households not maids and she must be the one serving us! She is just from a Lord's household I wonder what's so great about her that everyone is going nuts for her." Lady Katz said as she slammed her hands on the table.

.

"Lady Katz please maintain the decor of the room and keep your voice down. There is a sick patient here." Ethan who was waiting for the Princes advised her politely.

.

"Huh? And May I know who you are to order me?" She asked as she rose from her seat.

"Hmm, now that I look closely at you...you must be Lady White's stepbrother. Tch is the white family so low how can they still send their daughter here while having such a stain in their family~" She said as she looked at him with disgust in her eyes. 

.

"Lady Katz what are you saying!" Lady Maple said as she stood from her seat.

"What? Am I saying something wrong?" 

"Lady Katz you..."

.

"No! lady Katz is right, I am an illegitimate child so I am a stain to the white family but...My sister is innocent, she has grown with love surrounded by flowers and I won't allow you to disdain her." Ethan who despite being hated by his step-sister loved her with a pure heart couldn't stand the insult she was given.

.

Lady Katz was too stunned to speak but still, her pride didn't let her to stop yet and in place of her mouth, she was now trying to use her hands.

"You how dare you raise your voice against me!" She said as she rose her hands but they were caught by Violet who was standing beside her.

.

"Lady Carot??" Both of them said as they looked at her with a question mark on their faces.

"Lady Carot are you trying to speak up for him?" 

"Lady Katz please keep her out of this!" 

.

"Why should I? She was the one who stopped me anyway!" Lady Katz said as she wanted at Violet who stood there emotionlessly.

"Lady please maintain your image," Ethan said as he walked towards her.

.

"Lady Carot, Lady Katz please stop." Lady Astor who had enough of their drama said as she stood from her seat.

"What can you do instead of throwing a tantrum?" Violet said as she looked at her and pushed her lightly.

.

"You---"

"Yes Me! Violet Medea Carot the illegitimate daughter of Viscount Carot dares you to say what you would do instead of just running that mouth of yours." Violet whispered in her ears.

.

"You!!" Lady Katz said as she pushed her hard making her fall to the ground making her bandaged hand bleed again.

"Ouch!" 

.

"Lady Carot!" All of them in the hall said as they ran to check on her except for Rose Sofia and a shocked Karla who didn't understand what just happened but the look of disgust in others eyes for her was a good enough answer to make her realize that what she did was a grave mistake for which she is going to pay soon.

.

"Lady Katz why did you have to push her so hard! Look her hands they are bleeding." Lady Hilton said angrily as she wiped the blood off with her hanky.

"Lady Hilton, please don't blame her...I should have not offended her in the first place.." Violet said with a teary face as she looked at Karla who felt a shiver down her spine and a sudden rage crawl over her body.

.

"You b#tch!" She said as she held violet by the collar and as soon as she did that a sharp and cold object was kept right at her neckline.

"Lady Katz, if you touch her one more time then I would forget who you are and my sword would pierce through your body," Ethan said coldly while lifting his sword and making it reach her chin.

.

Everyone was shocked by this and Karla was now shaking in fear.

"(Wow, the people of the west are indeed hot-headed and the one of solar are indeed slow except for the one standing here.)" Sofia thought as she looked at Rose who stood there uninterested.

.

Meanwhile in Irene's Room,

"Brother looks like she is gaining consciousness!" Alfred said as he called for Alan.

"Really! Lady Winter." Alan said softly as he looked at her opening her eyes slowly.

.

" Your Highnesses...where am I?" Irene said as she slowly opened her eyes.

"You are in your allocated room. You fainted suddenly so we bought you up here." Alfred said as he checked her veins.

.

"Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" Alan asked as he touched her forehead. His cold hands and caring gaze made her face warm up.

"Huh? Why are your veins getting so active all of your sudden?" Alfred who was holding her hands said as he raised his eyebrows.

.

His question made Irene to jump and she covered herself with the blanket.

"That's because I was shocked to see both the Princes out of blue." She said while closing her eyes as she was highly embarrassed.

.

Even though Alfred was quite confused by her actions but for Alan, it was something heart fluttering. And right at the moment, he wanted to tease her.

.

"But Lady Winter we too haven't seen for you a while now, so how about letting us have a look at you," Alan said as he got a hold of the blanket and tried to pull her out.

.

"What!!" Irene said as she tried to pull the blanket from inside and in between their pull and push, alan fall right above her and their faces were only an inch away from each other.

.

"Your Highness this I...." Irene stuttered as she gulped.

"( Do they realize that I am still here?)" Alfred thought as he looked at them and there was a little uneasiness on his heart while looking at them this close but for some reason, he wasn't able to pull them apart even though that was what his mind was telling him to do.

.

"(She is so close to me....and my heart is going crazy and my whole body has gone stiff I am afraid my mind might blow up at this rate.)" Alan thought as he blinked.

.

"(What...How...Did this happen? God please save me I can't handle his visuals!!)" Irene thought as she closed her eyes and right then they heard loud chattering from downstairs.

.

"Now what's with them again?" Alfred said in an annoyed tone as he turned around.

"( This is the chance!)" Both Irene and Alan thought as Alan quickly got up from her bed so did Irene.

.

"We should go down and look at them." Alan said while Irene nodded her head.

"Right~ or esle Father would get stressed out again.." Alfred said as he lead the way followed by both Alan and Irene.
