[indent][indent]Once he turned the last corner towards the ballroom, the double doors were opened up by his guards and his fanfare played as he entered the scene now. People bowed towards him as he walked with a confident and Kingly gait. Before he went to the table that was placed at the front of the ballroom, he met with some of the Lords and Ladies on the floor. Joseph's stare went over towards his Queen, who was chatting it up with one of her Lady-in-waiting then went back to the current conversation that he was having.

[color=#c23c23][b]"Well, gentlemen and ladies, I must go and sit."[/b][/color] Joseph said as he excused himself from them then walked over towards the table, giving his Queen a quick peck on the cheek before sitting beside her. [b]"While you were chatting with Harold, I hope you reminded him about his taxes that he still hasn't paid."[/b] Genevieve spoke as Joseph sighed at her words. [color=#c23c23][b]"Can we have one night where we're not discussing business? This is a night of celebration, Genevieve. Embrace it."[/b][/color]

Genevieve chuckled with a slight head lean before looking straight ahead now and letting the words of her King sink in a little. [b]"You are right. Sorry, my King. But we will be discussing the matter later."[/b] Joseph leaned back in his chair now and ran his finger over his lips while staring out on the dance floor. As he stared out there, he saw Genevieve's other Lady-in-waiting and seen that she was with her friend. A slight brow raised as Joseph stood up and wandered over towards the floor, bumping into Eliza with a smirk.

[color=#c23c23][b]"Pardon me."[/b][/color] Joseph said as he eyed Eliza's friend then went back to staring at her. [color=#c23c23][b]"I could not help but notice that you guys are not really dancing."[/b][/color] He stepped aside then held his arm out towards the dance floor. [color=#c23c23][b]"Shall we, Lady Eliza?"[/b][/color] Joseph asked as Queen Genevieve watched from the table with a scowled look plastered upon her face.[/indent][/indent][hr]

[indent][indent]Cassandra managed to make it in time to meet with her family along with getting dressed by her handmaidens for the celebration tonight. Her father had entered her chambers as she turned to face and embrace him. [color=#ded16a][b]"Father. How have times been without me?"[/b][/color] She asked him as he shrugged a little. [b]"Same as always, my dear. How was the meeting?"[/b] She turned back to finish getting dressed as she responded to the question.

[color=#ded16a][b]"Well, you know that Sir Thomas tried to make sure the Percivel's looked good but the Holloway's came out on top."[/b][/color] She lied slightly as her father chuckled. [b]"Ah, that's my girl."[/b] Her father started to walk towards her chamber door as he turned and spoke before her left. [b]"Don't be late to the celebration."[/b] That was all he said before exiting the room as Cassandra smiled at him then reviewed over herself in the mirror.

Cassandra sighed a little as she was finished being dressed then thanked her handmaidens while dismissing them, too. She stepped down from the stand she was standing up on then walked towards her chamber door and exited her room. Luckily for her, she knew certain shortcuts around the castle to make sure she gets to the ballroom a little bit faster than usual.

She stood at the double doors of the ballroom and sighed as they were opened up for her. She walked in with her usual walk, head high and many, many Lords stared at her entrance. Cassandra saw her family and offered them a small, little wave then waltzed over towards the table of food and wine to grab a goblet of wine. She turned to face the crowd before her now as she took a small sip from her goblet, staring at Sir Thomas with an eye roll.

Cassandra just really hope that he did not look her way and see that eye roll.[/indent][/indent]
