Stay off my Property

Julianne walked towards her father still feeling the eyes of everyone on drilling at her back which was uncomfortable, some had looks of amazement, some had looks of envy and jealousy while some were expressionless. Grace eyes bore holes into Julianne when she saw her walking towards her father. When she had entered the hall after the crown prince, she saw her sister talking to the young Duke and had used the opportunity to try to sway the Crown Prince to ask her for a dance, but instead of asking her for a dance he went towards her sister.

"Isn't that your stepdaughter Lady Rosetta? Asked Lady Houghton asked pointing at the dance floor when she had see the Crown Prince and Julianne dance. When there eyes turned to the dance floor, they became shock.

"Isn't that the Crown Prince? Lady Nutella asked, not receiving any response she continued "It seems we wouldn't be celebrating Grace wedding but Julianne wedding, She would become our future Queen".

Lady Rosetta glared at the woman "Watch your mouth Lady Nutella" them she went towards her husband.

When Julianne reach where her father was standing along with her step mother, she bowed her head.

"Seems like you finally found someone you like" asked Lord Wilmot will a smile on his face.

"Father! No" she akwardly denied "I wish to retire for the night am tired".

"Off cause you may, you already made my night, I can't ask for more"

"Thank you father" she bowed and walked away from the hall.

On the other side of the hall the Prince approached his mother and bowed to his mother "Mother Queen".

"I will have to award the Lady who swayed your heart, you even asked her for a dance and not the other way round" she said waiting for him to say something but when he did not she continued "Aren't you going to tell me who she is, I also hope to see my grandchildren soon am not growing any younger".

"Calm down mother, I will tell you later, but be rest assure you will meet your grandchildren soon, excuse me mother as I have somewhere to be" saying this he walked away as he had kept someone waiting. The Queen's smile didn't drop from her face as she stared at her son's departing back before she finally turned to look for the girl who had pulled his son's heart.

"Young Duke Leonard Fournette" he greeted when he approached the man.

"Your Highness, you summoned me" the young Duke bowed.

"Walk with me" he ordered. As they walked towards the side of the mansion where there where lesser people the prince asked "Do you like her?

Surprised by the sudden question the young Duke didn't know how to reply "We just met for the first time milord, I ...."

"You are to answer a simple yes or no not explain" said the already irritated prince

"Yes Milord"

"Stay off my Property" warned the Crown Prince.

Odin who had been walking behind them had a look of shock on his face, he had known his master for a long time, he had no eyes on any woman, but his master claiming a woman right now was unexpected, he wondered what the young Lady had done to his master in the last few hours they arrived, Odin collected his expression and pretended he hadn't heard a thing.

"Your Highness I...."

"If there's anything between you two end it or I will end it myself" saying that he walked away, leaving the surprised young Duke.
