[indent][indent]Joseph eyed the Queen as she left the ballroom and her own celebration. They did not even get to share a dance together before she became jealous and had to retire to her chambers for bed. [color=#c23c23][b][i]'Typical.'[/i][/b][/color] Joseph thought to himself as a servant poured some more wine into his goblet, which he grabbed with a slight scoff because he was still thinking about Genevieve's current actions. After a sip or two, he placed the goblet on the table before him then eyed people that were either passing by the table or dancing.

His eyes did roam back over towards Lady Eliza, once or twice but then a gentlemen stood dangerously close to her and Joseph did not like that, at all. He tried his best not to show his emotions but the movements he was making in his chair made it a little bit hard. A guard asked if he was okay and Joseph waved his hand towards the guard, nodding his head.

[color=#c23c23][b]"Actually..."[/b][/color] Joseph started as the guard leaned down beside his King so that he could hear him a little bit better. [color=#c23c23][b]"Bring me Lady Eliza. Sit her in the Queen's chair."[/b][/color] He muttered towards the guard, who nodded his head and bowed then proceeded to do as he was told.

Joseph knew that Sir Walter, a handsome fellow but someone who was all wrong for the likes of Lady Eliza. His eyes watched as the guard went over towards her and was bringing her back to his table. He smiled, of course and eyed her movements as the guard brought her over to sit beside him.

[color=#c23c23][b]"Feel like a Queen in that seat, Lady Eliza?"[/b][/color] He asked while not even looking at her but straight ahead of him.[/indent][/indent][hr][indent][indent][indent][indent][indent][indent][indent][indent][hr][/indent][/indent][/indent][/indent][/indent][/indent][/indent][/indent][center][color=#DED16A][h1]Lᴀᴅʏ Cᴀssᴀɴᴅʀᴀ Hᴏʟʟᴏᴡᴀʏ[/h1][/color][/center][indent][indent][indent][indent][indent][indent][indent][indent][hr][/indent][/indent][/indent][/indent][/indent][/indent][/indent][/indent]
[indent][indent][color=#ded16a][b]"Of course we're friends. What kind of question is that to ask?"[/b][/color] Cassandra responded, a little defensively because Sir Thomas of all people should know how close Cassandra is to Eliza. She turned her head from him a moment and took a sip from her goblet again then turned her head back towards him with a slight smirk that transformed into a smile. [color=#ded16a][b]"You admire my spirit? Please. I was the only person there that could seemingly go toe to toe with you on certain affairs."[/b][/color] 

She responded while waving her hand dismissively towards Sir Thomas as she continued. [color=#ded16a][b]"The rest were just old farts."[/b][/color] Cassandra said bluntly as she looked at him now. She wasn't really treated badly by the men of the court because she knew what the hell she was talking about. They sort of admired her because she had the gall to do what her brother isn't doing and he was House Holloway's heir apparent.

Cassandra nodded her head whenever Thomas asked if her father was well. [color=#ded16a][b]"He is. What about your family? Are they well?"[/b][/color] She sneaked a peek at Eliza sitting in the Queen's seat then turned back towards Thomas. [color=#ded16a][b]"I know Eliza's doing well for herself. Don't you think? What if she was to become Queen, would you be acceptable to that?"[/b][/color]

Cassandra was highly intrigued on finding out his response. Her eyes widened whenever he asked her to dance as he knew their families hated each other and them dancing together would only bring more drama. A smirk tugged at the corner of her lips now as she eyed Thomas and chugged down her wine then grabbed his hand. [color=#ded16a][b]"Lead the way, my lord."[/b][/color] She teased him with the my lord addition to her response.
