Chapter 159 - The Truth Serum 2

"Irene, I can't face you...nor can I astray from you....tell me am I selfish?" Rose asked as she clenched her fists whereas Irene and the prices were having a hard time watching someone as proud as Rose kneeling and begging like that.

.

"Rose---"

"You don't need to answer me because I know you are kind so you won't ever be able to say I am selfish...but I know myself and I know that if there was something more then selfish than that would surely be me...." Rose said as she took some deep breaths.

.

"Lady Willson why do you think yourself as selfish and why are you so apogolitic toward Lady winter?" Alfred asked as he looked at her.

.

"...Your Highness, *smiles* you all are so kind, so thoughtful always standing with your family and friends....but I am not like that I have always been taught to be approached and to approach the ones who would be useful to me." Rose said as she tiled her head with a painful expression on her face that showed suffocation as she removed the hairball form her hair and let it open.

.

"I always want things to go the way I want but I never try to look at others and I only approached Irene because she had good relations with the Royal Family and she seemed easy....now tell me am I not selfish?" Rose asked as she smiled like an idiot.

.

Silence filled the hall as Irene took a deep breath to clam herself down, people approaching her only for her connection with the royals was not something new but still it was Rose whom they were talking about. 

.

It wasn't someone just passing by person but her friend someone she thought she could always turn to but looking at how things were she could only think all those as she a fanstay she created for herself.

.

"Lady Winter, you okay?" Alan who was a bit worried about her asked as he looked at her gloomy expression.

"Yes, I am fine..." She answered back weakly as she slowly looked at Rose and asked her if there was anything else she wants to say to her.

.

"Yes, there is...." Rose answered as she nodded her head.

"What is it?" 

"...Irene...please don't leave me...please..." She said while hugging her tightly and after that she slowly felt her hands slipping down as her body got heavier and as expected she too became unconscious.

.

Irene noticing that gently put her on the chair and let her keep her head down at the table as she put the blazer she bought along around her shoulders.

*Sigh* "....Is connection everything to you?" Irene said with a disappointed look on her face.

.

"Lady Winter, please don't take everything she said to your heart, the truth serum males their kind mudelled so..." 

"Your Highness, they won't remmber all this right?" Irene asked as she turned to face violet who was sitting rught before her.

.

"Yes...they won't remmber anything.."

"Then it doesn't matter." Irene said as she smiled.

"Lady Witner, do you not feel bothered by her intentions?" Alan asked as he frowned.

.

"I do...I feel a lot bothered but sje is not the one at fault, remmber she said they was taught to be like this and hence she is like this. We all are well aware of the family condition she has found up in so blaming her for everything...just doesn't feel right to me...atleast." Irene said a she glanced at Alfred who couldn't move his eyes from Rose.

.

"That's right too...although, I would still prefer if Lady winter had a good talk with her...because as much as I know her she isn't someone who would so easily follow others. So, to just believe that everything she did was just a strategy of hers is a bit hard." He answered as he tapped on the table grabbing the attention of Alfred who was back to himself.

.

"I agree with it too, then shall we proceed to Lady carot?" Alfred asked as he looked at Irene who nodded her head and whether came to her was a vey lot different then every confession she heard heard saw today.

.

"Then Lady Carot, start your confession." Alfred said as he clapped his hands and as soon as violet opened her eyes, Irene saw fear and pain in them.

.

"Violet??" Irene who wasn't able to understand the sudden change in her behavior mumbled as she tried to touch her face but got rejected with a slap on her hands making it burn and that too came form no other then Violet who sat there shivering.

.

"You stay away form me! You---You are the same as thr others! You--You-- Too wear mask of goodness! You are so fake!" Violet said as she started to throw things towards Irene luckily Lana created a protective cage aorhnf her with protected her form everything.

.

"Lady Carot you will hurt her please clam yourself down." Alfred said as he tried to clam her down with his powers but they didn't see to work on her much and she kept on struggling.

.

"---Why? are you saying such things? What

did I do to you?" Irene asked with oayien e in je voice although the itny shivering on her hands and legs weren't unnoticeable atlest not by Alan who kept his hands on her and tied his purification on her to clam down her head.

.

"Why am I saying such things?...I don't know...

You always treated me so well, always protected me that I thought you to be my soul mate someone who would always syand beside me but no! You too were just fake showering me with all the kindness to make yourself feel great. You too are a hypocrite." She said on top of her lungs as she hit the table not with anger or frustration but with a hurtful heart.

.

"Violet....I have no idea about how you got yourself in this mess...but I never ever felt superior towards you nor did I ever tied to be hypocrite towards you or anyone...everything I did for you was on my own will because Ialways thought of you as my friend..." 

.

"Friend...Friend I am sick of this word, Irene, even your own blood turn against you when time comes and you are taking about friendship among people who are not even blood related. Do you think for them hurting others would be hard?" Violet who spoke the butter truth with a smile said as she scaracstily laughed.

.

"Violet...What wrong with you? Why are so negative?" Irene asked as she was getting irritated by her words which only gave out negative energy.

"Irene it's you who is in the wrong here. I have always been negative. It's you who couldn't see it...maybe because you were too busy laughing with others that you didn't notice it." Violet said with hollow eyes that seemed soulless.

.

"You always try to act all innocent and good...you was siad that you would there wherever we need you...but you were lying...You were never there...you were always busy in your own world." Violet continues as she stood form her seat and galred at Irene who was now tear eyed.

.

"Violet...Am I a villan in your story?" Irene asked as she looked at her.

Violet didn't answer her instead she smiled and said, "How can I let you be the villan?" 

.

"How do you mean?" Alan asked as he looked at her with a serious look followed by Alfred and Irene who understood the reason behind ther curiosity couldn't help but feel anxious as she too wanted to know the answer and at thr same time she wanted to avoid that question as much as she could.

.

"I only mean that, I can't let someone like you so high become a mere Villian." Violet said as she waked towards the pedestal and sje was about to say soemthign when all of sudden she fell on the ground with a loud thud.

"Violet!" Irene said as she forward her hands to hold onto her but it was already too late.

.

"Lady Carot!" Ethan who was the first one to reach her shouted her name out as he kneeled on the ground.

"Lady Carot! Is she okay?" Alan asked as he ran towards her along with Alfred who checked onto her pulses.

.

"Yeah, she is just sleeping...but her time wasn't up yet so how come she feel asleep so fast and that too so sudden?" Alfred said as she checked onto her neck and arms.

.

"Is there anything werid?" Alan asked as he saw a frown on Alfred forhead.

"Well, not yet but I think there is something indeed weird." He said as his eyes landed on the sliver clip on her hair which seemed a little crooked.

.

"This--" He said as he took it off her hair and as expected by him there was something beneath them.

"Thats!" A shocked Irene said as she covered her mouth with her hands.
