Chapter 153 - The Oracle

"What and why would Lady winter do that? Especially when she is so close with the crown prince wouldn't being his partner be a good thing for her." Lady Astor asked looking at Lady Hilton.

.

"Who knows, why she did that? But I found her messy moves  pretty too." 

"Yeah me too, if Madam didn't stopped her I must have just clapped at the ending." 

"Right,Hmm still its such a pity. A perfect lady like her won't be able to stand with his Highness." 

.

"Lady Winter, you have disappointed me....you are eliminated." Madam said with a sigh as Irene bowed towards and walked towards the ladies with a small smile on her face.

"Finally, I am free..." 

.

"Lady Winter!" Lady Maple and Lady Astor called out to her like a cute pack of puppies.

"Looks like we are on the same boat." Irene joked as both the ladies held on her Wrists.

.

"You are right, but I didn't really thought you would be eliminated too."

"Hmm, you and the Prince looked so perfect." Both Lady Astor and Lady Maple said while Irene just smiled towards them noticing the intense gaze on her shoulders, her eyes meet with Lady Hilton.

.

"Lady Hilton, congrats for being shortlisted." Irene said with a formal tone and she genuinely congrats her.

"Lady Winter, you truly flatten me, but sadly I can't say the same for you. But still you tired your best and I respect you for it." Lady Hilton a lady of her words said while she bowed towards Irene without poking her with any questions regarding her intentionally making mistakes and respecting her personal boundaries.

.

"I respect you too." Lady winter said as she bowed towards her.

"Lady Hilton please come here." The Madam called for her so she left, with lots of well wishes from the three of them.

.

"Now, we should pack our things, shouldn't we?" Lady Maple asked as she stood up and looked at Lady Astor.

" I don't know~ but I really want to return back home this 1 month here has driven me crazy." Lady Astor said while stretching her arms.

.

"Hehe, what about you Lady winter? Would you stay and cheer for Lady Willson and Lady carot, you know they have been shortlisted..." Lady Maple asked to which Irene just shook her head.

.

"I have nothing to do here anymore, expect that I know both of them will do just fine. But if I don't return to my home now I might not be doing fine...I am so homesick." She said while sighing and looking at the window like a brid would look at the cage.

.

"Hah, you three are talking so loudly that now eveb I am feelings homesick." Lady coral who has been quite for a long time finally spoke.

"Lady Coral you didn't get shortlisted too." Irene who didn't her behind them said as she looked at ther with a surprised expression.

.

"Woah, Lady winter your expression is making me feel quite overwhelmed, I wonder did you really think that I could make it to the shortlisted? No, actually it should me who should be that surprised." Lady Coral said while pouting to which others just laughed.

.

"Haha, I don't know what to say, so only Violet, Rose, Lady Hilton and Princess Sofia got shortlisted." Irene asked just to confirm.

.

"No, Princess Sofia got eliminated too---or should I say she gave up at the ladt minute." Princess coral said as she walked towards the ladies.

"She gave up at the last minute, why?" Lady Astor asked as she tilted her head.

.

"Yeah, seriously why did she give up at such a last minute...she was not competitive but she was not the one who would just give up without trying." Lady Maple said as she looked quite disappointed.

.

"Who knows? But...according to the rumors...Princess Sofia was just a facade sent by the crown prince Brazen to avoid attention." Lady Coral said to which Irene eyes twitched as she suddenly remembered the time Alfred and Brazen appeared at their room with that strange message form the crown prince Alan.

.

"Lady Coral where do you hear such rumors from? We literally sat at the same palace but still I don't get it, how are you always do informative." Lady Maple who was so done with her rumours which in her eyes made no sense said as she had a *are you serious,* look on her eyes.

.

"Thats because I am form an detective family and it's in my blood to gain info and learn about others and I am telling you guys this runours is 1000% true!!

.

And for sure soemthing big is bound to happen in Solar in the coming years, which will change our history and this was a oracle that happened just a decade ago and as things are happening for the past few years I am sure of it! Something big will happen." Lady coral said with full confidence which th life's couldn't ignore as known to jer personality.

.

She won't say something that impossible with such confidence and she till date and has never given any wrong info.

.

"Oracle? When did it happen? I never heard of it before." Irene asked as she was quite interested in the sudden talk of decades ago.

"That oracle was of about 15 years ago when none of were born so of course you guys didn't heard about it." 

"Lady coral you are 11 too." Lady Astor said as she looked at her with a irritated face.

.

"My case is different, anyway in that oracle it was mentioned that within the next 20 years a lot will change in solar with the appearance of the child of fortune, that oracle didn't clearly mentioned specifically who that child is but it did mentioned that lots of blood and tears would shed in this peaceful land....and no power can stop it from happening." Lady coral said as all the ladies become silent.

.

"What you guys don't believe this either?" Lady Coral asked with a irritated look and wry smile on her face.

"No, it's not like we don't believe you....but it's just that..." Lady Astor said with hesitation.

"These past few years lots of things have happened in solar with blood and tears being sheed not forgetting the fact that we even lost our only saintness the Empress a few years ago too...so the oracle doesn't really seem fake and that's what the problem is..." Lady Maple said as she looked at Irene who just nodded her head agreeing with both of them.

.

"Problem why?" 

"Because, if it really comes true then we don't know what the child fo fortune can do but if this keeps up our solar would be under a great problem....and the blood tears part....would be the worst of all." Irene said as she tapped on the table thinking about rh possibilities of the blood shead being related to the blood shead at the original novel which occurred due to the problem between the Willson and the Royal family.

.

"You are right, All the misfortunes have come true but we still have no idea about that child...and if soemthj g really happened to solar than we are all really done for." Lady coral worried about her and the empire future said as she crossed its of the rarms and lost in deep thoughts.

.

"Okay Okay, let's stop thinking about such stressful things and reject to our rooms. If everything goes well well tomorrow morning we would all be at our house sipping tea without any tough work to do." Lady Maple said as she clapped her hands while trying to lightne up the dark mood.

.

"I agree with Lady Maple today is the last day so instead of worrying we should sit down and gave a nice meal and have some fun." Irene who forgot they are ladies of diginifed families and that she is in some medival period time said

Which made the other to laugh out awkwardly.

.

"....Lady Winter must mean a tea party, don't you?" Lady coral trying to save her soem embrassment said as she looked at her with a sweet and polite smile.

"Correct, that's what I meant to say but I just gibberished it." She too trying to save her neck said while trying to control herself form laughing out loud.

.

"Tea Party at the palace would never happen, anyway let's return to our room shall we? The Madam has been glaring at us since long." Lady Astor with her friendly smile said to which everyone just nodded their head.

.

But just when they were about to leave, Ethan suddenly came knocking at their door and knowing that Ethan appearance is always related to The Princes all the ladies and even Madam got a serious look on their faces which kind of scared Ethan who just came there to invite them for dinner arranged by the Corwn Prince for all the Candidates as a thanks and proper farewell.

.

"A dinner party arranged by the Prince?" Lady Astor said out loud not believing her ears with other ladies too looking at Ethan for proper confirmation.....
