The villianess will not fall in love?!

Chapter 12

Irene and Vlad got home that evening, despite Vlad's constant warnings Irene still eat too much and as a result upset her stomach. She felt really sick all the way home and when they did get home she quickly dashed out the cart and headed to the lady's room.

The next day:

Vlad and Irene were playing hide and seek in the garden, it was Vlad's turn to seek and Irene was hiding so well that Vlad had no idea where she was.

"I give up!" Vlad shouts admitting defeat. Irene jumped down from a tree that was behind Vlad, which in return scared Vlad as he screeched.

"Nee-san, stop sneaking up on me" Vlad said putting his hand to his chest.

"I didn't though, I jumped down from that tree" Irene said pointing to the tree beside her.

"so that's where you were hiding, No wonder I couldn't find you"
He said feeling stupid that he should have known better.
Irene giggled.

" Lady Irene!" A voice called.

"Katherine?" Irene asked confused.

Katherine Irene's personal maid called for her, while running in a lady like manner.
" There you are my lady, I've been looking for you ever so desperately"

" Whatever is the matter Katherine?"Irene questions her.

" Mistress Sulviene is calling for you" She said out of breathe.

" Mother is?"

" Yes"

" Okay, Vlad you coming?"

"Coming nee-san"

In the prime minister's study

Irene rushed through the doors,
" sorry for the late arrival mother, father" She says with a courtesy.

" No need to apologise, Irene come here"  Her father called her over, she walks towards him. He gestures his hand towards a boy with light blonde hair and dark blue eyes, the boy portrayed an angelic face and effortlessly pulled out a fake smile.

" Irene, this is Claudius Redmon the first crown Prince and your fiancee starting today. Irene's eyes widen
' this can't be, I'm engaged?!'
The boy seemed very familiar to Irene, where did she see him from?
Either way she didn't want to get engaged, to anyone as a matter of fact.
Irene felt dizzy all of a sudden, 'no no no. This can't be happening!!'

" Irene, Irene?! " She snapped out of her daze "y-yes?" She asks awkwardly

"What am I going to do with you child?" He sighs shaking his head.
"I'll leave you two to have a chat with one another, My lady?" Ascourt Canton stretched out his hands toward Sulviene Canton, Sulviene blushed and took it, Irene cringed at the sight.

"You too Vlad"

"Do I have toooo..." Vlad said with a puppy dog face.

Ascourt Canton gave him a look, Vlad gave up and waved bye-bye to Irene, Irene waved back. They left the room.

Irene faced towards her soon to be fiance and introduced herself.
"Please to make your acquaintance prince Claudius,
I am Irene Canton" She said with a courtsey.

"Ooh, so your my fiancee?" He says with an ever so unsightly grin.
" Your not what I had imagined, very plain I must add"

Irene was shocked, this exact same scene happened before. She remembered who he was, Claudius Redmon, The cold-hearted and twisted prince.
He denounced Irene from Noble society and shunned her from the world.

"Let me say this just once, I will never fall in love with you, or anyone I must add" he stares with coldness through his dark blue eyes.

"I'm sure that would be for the best" Irene accidentally let out her thoughts. Her eyes widen when she realized what she had done.

He looked shocked, He looked away for a second twitching, and then looked back at Irene with amusement in his eyes.
"Interesting" he smirked. Irene started sweating buckets.
Irene needed to quickly change the topic so she let out the first thing that came into her mind,
" would you like a tour in our garden? I would be happy enough to show you around"

"Sure, why not?" He grinned.
Irene sighed in relief.

Irene showed Claudius around the garden. Claudius didn't look very amused, He looked more bored than ever before.

As Irene was showing him around she caught something in the corner of her eye, there was a cat stuck in the tree and it looked very terrified as it was latching onto the tree branch with dear life. Irene didn't want to leave the poor cat there, so she came up with an excuse in order to distract Claudius.

"Prince Claudius"She called.

"Yes, what is it?"

"Why don't you sit over there on that bench and I'll bring you something to eat"She strained a smile hoping that her excuse would work. She constantly looked at the cat and was sweating buckets.

"Are you telling me to sit on a filthy bench over there, when I can sit on a table?"

"Uhh......yes?"

"Pft, you really are something, fine I'll do as you say, since you've amusingly told a Prince what to do"As he said that he walked to the bench.

Irene took this chance and quickly climbed the tree, the cat was on the very top so she couldn't reach it.
"Come here Kitty, I won't hurt you" She called out to the cat.

The cat slowly began to walk forward, but was still terrified because the branch kept on shaking.
"It's okay, you can do it" she called motioning with her hands to come to her. The cat slowly began to move forward again, it jumped into Irene's arms.
"You did it" She said happily and pet the cat's head.

She jumped down and let the cat walk away, She waved as it jumped into a bush and disappeared.
Irene turned around and that's when her eyes widened.
They're standing mouthwide open was the prince.

'uh oh, What have I done!' Irene thought and began to sweat buckets.......
again.
