Chapter 169 - Harris Breakout.

"Thats nice, Samira I am telling you. If Irene is with you then you don't have to worry about anything else." Raymond said as he smiled while eating his food.

.

"Yes, I would keep that in mind and thanks for letting me join you." Sam said politely as she bowed towards her.

"Its nothing big. I am just doing a favour to my little brother and after being locked at the palce for a month I really miss the fresh air of the capital." Irene said as she looked at Ash whose ears turned red form the sudden attack.

.

"Sis!" 

"Oh was that supposed to be a secret?" Irene said as she placed a hand on her mouth while making a innocent face making every one to laugh.

"Enough you kids. Have your food it's getting cold." Raymond said as he smiled towards them and just like that the return of Irene at the winter mansion passed happily and peacefully.

.

"Jokes apart and Lady Maxim, please be comfortable with me and tell me anything you want to." Irene said as she gave her a piece of broccoli.

"Thank you Lady Witner." Sam said as she smiled while having her food.

.

"And Irene after food come by office, there is something I would like to talk about with you alone." Raymond said as he looked over at Irene.

"Sure father." 

.

After dinner, Irene headed to Raymond's office as ordered.

"Father may I come in?" 

"Irene, yes come in, and have a seat." 

"Thank you father." 

.

"You don't need to be so formal inside your own house...Anyway how was your stay at the palace. Did you have any problem copping up with them or did you perhaps fall out with them?" Raymond asked as he gave her a cup of warm milk.

.

"Nothing bad happened while my saty at the palace, I fact I formed good relations with the and we even planned to meet once again after coming out. And the life at palce was indeed hard at first but I got used to it with time so everything was pretty much fine." Irene said as she smiled at Raymond who patted her head.

.

"Thats good." 

"....But father...even thought going to the palace was my own decision....still doesn't my lose bother you? I mean being the prnice dance father is a really big thing so aren't you disappointed in me?" Irene asked as she bit her lower lip nervously while looking at her legs.

.

"I am not disappointed on you and as you said leaving was your own decision so how could your win or lose be counted by us. Futhermore, having good relation with he royals is enough. We don't need anything more then that. My daughter is more important then any other title." Raymond said as he gently stroked her head.

.

"Father...You know you are the world's best father!" Irene said as she felt the warmth and care of her father form his words.

"I know, now don't make that emotional face and move towards your room. It's late, finish tour milk and go to bed, you have lots of things to do tomorrow. Remmber!" 

.

"Yes, I remember. Then *drinks the milk in one gulp* I will take my leave now and father should head to bed too. It's not good for your body to stay up late." Irene said as she hugged Raymond once and left the office.

" She is such a nag just like her mother." Raymond said as he removed his personal and massaged his eyes.

.

Irene on the way to her room, decided to meet her mother once. so, now here she was sitting beside her and stroking her sliky hair.

.

"Mother, I am back form the palace. And sorry I wasn't able to become the prince partner but I did make some good friends there who are all master in one or the other thing. I bet you would love them." Irene who knew that her mother won't give her a reply still kept on filling her up with all the things that happend.

.

Many thought it was useless, some thought it as a way for Irene to console herself whereas some just pited them but for Irene this way she was keeping her mother alive not just as a person lying on bed but by making her a person involved in her daily life who is impossible to forget or remove.

.

" And mom, you know there is a new girl in our family, her name is Samira and she is very lovely and thanks to her our Ash now has a playmate, a good and reliable one. And tomorrow I will be spending a while day with her. Sounds fun right but I am worried what if her taste and my taste don't match...what if she doesn't like my choices for her.

.

Mother, you already know right I am not good with other kids expect for Ash...and ash too was smart for his age so he didn't need much of attention. But Samira is different. Mother, would I be able to take care of her?" Irene said as she sighed while putting her head on the bed and closing her eyes.

. 

Meanwhile at the Willson Mansion,

"Your Highness, Duke Willson all the invitation has been sent and all the preparation for thr party had been done too." The Bulter of the Willson family said as he bowed before a man who was sitting at his arm chair and looking at the big family portrait located at the middle with a young married couple and twin kids siting at their laps wearing matching outfits.

.

"Good, and what about the kids?" Duke Willson asked with his deep vocie while removing his gloves form his hands showing his slender fingers.

"Duke the invitation were sent by Young Master himself and as for the Young Lady she is still at the palace, so she is still not aware of thr party and---" 

.

"Okay, you can leave now." The Duke said as he stood up form his seat and looked outside thr window.

"But---Duke the Lady...shouldn't we inform 

her--" The Butler asked as he looked at Duke.

.

"Rose...she is a smart kid but when it comes to thing like family she is slow at it. So, better let her be and she is returning a day before the party. That much of time would be enough for her to make herself ready." Duke said coldly as he signalled the butler to leave.

.

"Then I will excuse myself." The bulter said as he left the room.

"Hah, how poor the young lady is....God bless this twin siblings." The bulter said as he touched the cross necklace on his neck.

.

"James, what are you murmering about all alone? Did father scold you again?" Harris asked in his usual playful tone while smiling at him.

"Greetings to young master, you know only old people people the habit of murmuring alone and as for scolding I am used to it but that's not rh case today...Anyway why are you here?" He asked back while shaking his head.

.

"I wanted to have a talk with father. So, here I am." Harris said as he touched the door handle and pushed opened it.

"And please tell the head chief to make soemthing spicy, I am really carving for it." saying that he entered the room.

.

"Spicy food? Looks like the young master is going to have another argument with the duke. Tch, tch, without a lady this house would rally burn down in flames." The bulter said as he walked towards thr kitchen.

.

"Father, may I come in?" 

"You are already in." 

"Oh, then let's just get to the point, shall we?" Harris said as the smile on his face turned into a scarastic grin and his eyes were no longer soft but scary.

.

"Now what made you loose your mind, that you came here to bite me?" The Duke said as he came in the light revealing his face which was very much identical to the twins expect for the sharpen and full grown features which have not yet developed at them yet.

.

"Nothing big, but I just found something funny. Would father like to know about it?" Harris asked as he took his steps towards him.

Even though the Duke didn't answer him, he still kept talking.

.

"Since, the Duke isn't talking I would take it as a yes and keep my word here." 

"Just do whatever you want but don't waste my time." The Duke said as he tured around.

.

"Then, could the one and only Duke of this solar empire explain me as how come we are related?" Harris said as he glared at him. His eye colour shifting to a darker shade of pink and orange.

.

"Harris! Are you out of your mind?" The Duke said as he looked at him.

"Me out of my mind? Father you know it more better about who is the one out if his mind." Harris shouted while clenching his fists.

.

"Harris! Mind your language and don't shout! I am your father!" He said while shouting back at Harris who listening to his words clapped his hands with a smirk on his face.

"So, you still remember you are a father...that you are my and sister's father.. So, how could you do such a thing!!" Harris said as he threw the glass pot on the ground making it shatter into of pieces.
