Chapter 142 - Truth To Be Found

While Ethan was busy handling his sisters, inside the hall, a different vibe was surrounding everyone.

"Everyone the show is over so ease turn your attention back to where ever it was before," Molly said as she smiled at them obviously hiding the fact that she was angry at the people for not speaking up and only watching from the sidelines.

.

"Violet, the ceremony is almost over, how about you return to your room now?" Irene suggested as she walked towards her and was about to place her hands on her shoulders but one look from violet which could pierce through her soul made her freeze right on spot.

Her green orbs looked furious to the extent that Irene couldn't dare to utter another word.

.

"....Irene us right, violet you should go to your room. How about I walk you there?" Molly who noticed the suddenly tense atmosphere between them said as she tapped on her shoulders.

.

Violet didn't say anything but just nodded her head gently and walked away with Molly without sparing a glance at Irene who was left alone in shock.

.

"Is she showing her true colours now?" Princess Sofia who was looking at all the drama said as she sipped onto her drink which looked like alcohol but was just simple apple juice.

.

"What does Princess Sofia mean?" Irene who was already tired from this round and round word game asked her directly with tired-looking eyes.

.

"What I mean is that Lady Violet isn't that good as she seems. On the surface, it looks like she cares for you a lot but just another moment she doesn't care to push you away." Sofia said as she looked at the Crown Prince who was looking at them from the pedestal.

.

"....Princess Sofia thinks a lot, the relationship we share is a bit complicated but still we are friends who have seen each other in our hardest times...and I know she cares about me just the way I do...and the reason she is treating me like is...I am well aware of that too." Irene thought as the scene where Violet eyes meet with her came into her mind.

.

"Hmm, whatever, I don't understand such deep things although *pushes Brazen towards her* I can say that you two would make a great couple. With the same hair colour and such pretty eye colours, I bet your kids would be the prettiest!" She said excitedly while noticing the crown prince approaching them.

.

"What are you saying!" Both of them shouted at the same time with a flustered face as they looked at each other.

"Wow! Your faces are so red." She kept teasing them until Brazen felt a hand over his shoulders and for some reason he didn't have a good feeling about this.

.

"What are you talking about standing so close to each other?" Alan asked with his always cold face and tone which gave brazen cold shiver down his spine.

"Prince Alan that we---"

"Your Highness good thing that you are here! See don't they look good together?" Sofia asked him while pulling his hands and making him stand before them.

.

Brazen who just understood what she was trying to do, couldn't help but just could his lips with a smile as he gently placed his hands on Irene's head and said, "Sofia, what are you saying l think we feel more like siblings than couples. See our face structure is the same too." 

.

"Yeah, he is right. We don't look as couples at all." Irene who got her chance to run away said as she smiled while looking at both of them.

.

"Sorry to disturb your highness but I have something I need to talk about with my sister so please excuse us." Ash who came in between from nowhere said as he hold onto her wrists and pulled her away from them.

.

"That Little boy looks so different form, Lady Winter just like the rumours but the way they stare at people is exactly the same." Sofia who saw Ashton for the first time said as she released the stare she received from him a while ago.

.

"Sofia he wasn't staring but glaring at you." Brazen corrected her with a cough.

"It's the same to me." She replied without any hesitation.

.

"(She looks a bit anxious...)" Alan thought as he looked at the spot where Violet was standing during the commotion.

"Where is Lady Carot?" Alan asked the two siblings standing beside them.

"She just left with Ash, didn't you see it yourself?" Brazen who was enjoying his drink said.

.

"I said Lady Caort, not Lady Winter." He said again leading Brazen to choke on his wine while Sofia for the first time had a shocked expression on her face.

*cough* *cough* "You-- why are you looking for her?" Brazen asked while coughing.

.

"She is a candidate who was harmed drying the ceremony of course I need to take a look at her. Now stop wasting my time and so it out where is she?" 

"She is in her room," Molly who came back answered him while giggling at Brazen condition.

.

"Okay, then you guys enjoy the ceremony." Saying that he left them without looking back which felt a little weird.

"Is it just me or does the Crown Prince feels a little different?" Sofia makes the other two who had the same expression as hers.

.

"I feet that too...he is always serious but today he is a little too serious....' is it perhaps prepared to that...' Brazen thought as he drank the wine in one gulp and took a step forward when Sofia suddenly grabbed him.

.

"Now where are you going?" Sofia who wanted to talk a little more with his broker asked with a sulky face.

"It's time to work. Now ne a good girl and at a with her *points at Molly*" Brazen said to which Sofia unwillingly nodded her head.

.

"Good, then I will see you later." He said and then walked towards the door through which Alan walked out.

Leaving behind both of them in an awkward situation.

.

"Umm, Princess Sofia are you hungry?" 

"A little what about you?"

"Me too...how about we have some food first?" 

"Sounds good!" Both of them then walked towards the food counter where kids of delicious food items were waiting for them.

.

"Ash aren't you hungry yet? It's almost past dinner time." Irene who was tired of the gaze Ash was giving her said as she sighed.

.

"Sister, there is something I want to ask you seriously...." Ash who was already had a serious face asked as he held her hands.

"Okay then Ask.." She replied casually thinking what can an 8-year-old even ask about.

As for a second, she forgot that the boy in front of her is her sibling with the same blood as hers.

.

"Sister then do you know eve have dreams of things don't seem to exist but feel too real to think they don't," Ash asked in one breath making Irene unable to understand even a single word.

.

"Ash are you in a hurry or something speak slowly." 

"Okay...then let me tell you this simply sister do you believe in 'reincarnation' or 'another world' ?" 

"Reincarnation...Another world..." 

The words which were the truth of Irene's life were now asked by no other than Ash from whom Irene least excepted it and with the looks, he was carrying in his eyes she was sure that the truth can't be hidden for long.

.

"Alan! Hey slow down a bit, will you?" Brazen who has been running behind him said while catching on his breath.

"Why are following me? Instead of enjoying inside?" Alan who was still along at his normal speed asked in a irritated tone.

.

"Guess it? Can you?" 

"I am not I'm.the look of playing games Brazen. And right now whatever you are thinking I'd correct." He said while stopping in his tracks and looking at Brazen who looked a bit surprised by his sudden change.

.

"I see but why now? I mean I told you about this before but back then you weren't interested in it at all but now all of sudden what changed your mind." He asked while placing a hand on Alan's shoulders which were rejected in less then 1 second.

.

"Because before no one was harmed by it buy now it has pissed many people off so there is now way I can just let ot go. Or else next time.it might lead to blood shed." He replied calmly while Brazen just snickered.

.

"(Hah, as if I don't know what he is taking about.)" Brazen thought as he noticed the Irirs Palace was right before them.

"But what are you going to ask her anyway? And won't this affect your relationship? You know what I mean right..." Brazen asked while looking at Alan who didn't had a little hesitation in his face.

.

"I don't care as long as she is safe.." Alan said while he pushed opened the palace door and went since it followed by Brazen who had a satisfied smile on his face.
