Chapter 189 - Dress Up

"Here, Young Master but what will you do with them? They are all wasted and dirty now futhermore, Madam has said not to use them-" She couldn't even complete her sentence and the deadly aura of Harris made her quiet without even him lifting a finger.

.

"You I don't know how you got to work here but remmber one thing, My mother was the real and only Duchess and she will always be! As for your Madam *with a smirk* she was always a worker like you and will always be." Harris said and then walked away form there.

.

Harris then walked towards the garden with all kinds of roses which was specially made for his mother's Roslin Grave.

"Mother---I am here, how have you been?" He asked while sitting near the grave while holding the fallen dandelions closer to his heart.

.

"You know mother, today I really feel as if finally every little hope I had for our family to go to normal is gone...I am tired...I am so tired..." Harris said as his shoulders started shaking.

.

"How could father be like this! Just how could he marry someone like Jessica....just how could he do that!! Just how could he give your palce to someone who has been haunting Sister for years....just how could he!!!" He said while pushing the ground but luckily the green grass didn't let him get hurt. His tears which had enough of all the emotional torture finally poured like the unstoppable rain.

.

While Harris was crying his heart out, Rose unaware if the things that await her was getting ready for thr ball to surprise them.

.

"Wow! Lady Willson you look so beautiful in this dress. Even better better then my imagination. " The royal designer said wiping away the sweat form her forehead.

"I should thank you for working so hard and designing such a pretty dress under such a limited time. It must have been hard." Rose said they'll concerned about their health as the tiredness was easily visible in their eyes.

.

"Lady please don't worry about us. We are used to such schedules and working for a beauty makes us more happy and glad. So, we are very thankful for this opportunity." The assistant designer said while placing the waistband they made for her on her wrist gently.

.

"As thought, This suits you the best. And this purple color is something which doesn't suit everyone but om you it looks so elegant and complete as if it was handmade for you. But where are the shoes?"

"Shoes? Didn't Boss said that you would bring them?" The two designers started to bicker when suddenly the door opened and with the light Alfered entered the room.

.

"Excuse me but the shoes are with me." He said with a smile while coming towards Rose who was a bit flustered to see him all of a sudden.

.

"Lady Willson, may I?" He said while making her kneeling on the ground.

Rose was flustered and at the same time she had no idea about what she should be doing so she just gave in and let him do what he wanted.

.

"Then please excuse me." He said as he gently lifted her foot and then put the shoes on her foot which were of the same colour as that of her dress and of mid length.

.

"Now with this you are ready to go!" Alfred said as he stood up and dusted off his hand.

"I bet no one could beat Lady Willson." The designer said while the junior nodded her head.

.

"Thank you." She said politely while bowing while she looked at them with a genuine and gentle smile which showed her purest side.

"And more then anyone, I want to thank you, Your Highness, if not for your kindness today I wouldn't have been able to stand here wearing such a pretty dress." Rsoe said while smiling at him and looking at only him.

.

Both the designer's were tired to their bones so they excused themselves right after Rose thanked them so it was only him and her in the room right now. 

.

"Well you are right but don't you think just thanks is too lame?" 

"Then what is that the Prince wants?" 

"what I want...Hmm, let me think...actually I would like to know what is it that you can give me? Instead of a thank you or gratitude?" Alfred asked in a serious tone while coming close to her.

.

Their closeness was still pretty much fine but for Rose who had never stood so close to anyone instead for the time she practiced dancing with the crown Prince was very much panicked which made her losse her balance on the stool and her head was just about to hit the mirror behind but luckily Alfred used his powers to lift her in the air.

.

"Are you okay?" He asked while making her land safely on the ground.

"Yes, I am okay--" She said while placing her hand on her heart which was beating like there is no tomorrow.

.

"Lady Willson there is something I really want and I know only you can give that to me." He said while removing his hands from her arms.

"Something only I can give?" 

"Yes, Lady Willson...I want you to give me the right...give me the right to call you 'Rose'." He said while looking at her eyes which widened a bit after hearing his words.

.

"Your Highness, this---"

"Why is it too much? Or maybe I am crossing the line." He said with a sad and gloomy face.

"No, it's not that but out of everything that could have been asked why did you ask for something like this? Wouldn't that be a loss?" Rose asked while tilting her head.

.

"I can't give every answer now but just remember not everything is about profit and loss sometimes the situations are a little different. So tell me do I have the right or not?" Alfred asked while looking at Rose.

"Do you think, saying no is even a option?" Rose said while standing up and waking towards the stairs.

.

Alfred who had no boundaries of happiness after getting the permission to call her by her first name turned around and said, "You made a great choice, I am Proud of you! Rose." He said and Rose who was walking upstairs paused for a moment while hearing him say her name for the first time.

"God, what's happening with me? Why am I behaving so dumbly? And whats with my heart beat rises every now and then?" Am I sick? But I don't feel sick." She talked to herself while trying to calm herself down.

.

While Rose was confused about her heart, Irene was confused about the dresses choices she made.

"Now what should we do?" Irene said while looking at the dress hanging infornt of her with a big hole in its skirt.

.

"My Lady all the other dresses aren't good for the ball and we cannot fix this one...so it would be better if..." A maid whispered in Irene's ears.

"But---"

"Lady Winter, my dress can't be fixed right...then I won't be able to go the ball too." Sam said while looking at the ground as he sat o t her cir er if the room.

.

"Don't worry, I will think of a way right away." Irene trying to console Sam who was feelings guilty for tearing the dress apart said while the she looked at the dress.

"Hmm, this dress for sure can't be fixed but I think there is some modification that can be done for sure." He said while looking at her and then at the dress.

.

"We can do this *Ran towards her wardrobe section and bought back a bundle of clothes gowns,dress of different style and colors* only if you are fine with it." Irene said while picking up her siccors.

.

"I am fine with everything, Lady Winter says although I don't think there is any need to work so hard for me...Its not like my appearance or presence will make any change." Sam said half heartedly as she played with her hair

"Please don't say so...your presence means a lot to our family and I am doing this to show off my skills so be at ease and enjoy." Irene said as she started checking every clothes she choose on Sam.

.

20 minutes later they finally found a dress with the same colour as the dress earlier.

"This dress would do. Lady Maxim would you please check whether it will fit you or not?" Irene asked as she handed her the dress which was of the time when she was 8 years old.

.

After some time, Sam changed into the dress and magically enough the dress was well fit to her. 

Irene then took the torn dress and stitched them upon that dress while adding some pearls around the neckline and waistline.

.

"Now this looks good, not the same as before but it will work." Irene said as she wiped the sweat off her forhead and looked at Sam who was looking at herself on the mirror.

"Wow! Lady Winter is there something you can't do?" Sam asked with a dumbfounded face.

"Hehe, yeah there are a lots of things I can't do..Anyway, we should be getting ready now, it's already past noon. And the Willson Mansion is quite far form here.." Irene said as she signalled the maids to start thier work.
