Lafiel's Party (OFFICIAL PARTY THREAD)

[Lafiel]

Lafiel stopped at the entrance to the hall were the bar was setup and sighed she saw everyone at the bar they hadn't noticed her yet she twirled and headed back the way she had come to the throng of people in the entrance hall. Do the hard stuff first talk to the strangers she thought to herself or should I say strangers and the strange guy. She immediately began speaking to the first person that was free to talk to.

Lady Sophia Mertel was wandering in search of Lafiel she had vanished from sight there was a debate raging in her mind that she might have left the party she wandered back inside from the courtyard with the fountain. It had been almost half an hour since she had seen the young countess just as she finished checking the lower levels she spotted her coming from upstairs satisfied that the countess was part of the party she headed left into the hallway with the bar upon arriving there she gave her command to the bartender over her side of the bar, "One scotch on the rocks please bartender if you would be so kind." The bartender bowed as he replied, "Certainly Lady Mertel it will be with you momentarily." Sophia turned observing the scene before she suddenly felt a glass being placed in her hand, "Here you are my lady." Sophia was impressed the barmen had made good on his word. She gingerly walked over to the fireplace that was crackling on the far side of the room were she took up a position to observe the crowd.

Oblivious to the party the library of Araluen Manor was all but silent there was no guests whom had entered it there was a light that crept from underneath the door to Lord Tarrant's study two muffled voices were heard from beyond. If anyone had dared to travel into the library let alone come waltzing into the office they would have found the Duke and Marquis in deep discussion. The Duke was helping himself to one of the cigar's his son kept for especially for him as no one else in the family smoked and a glass of scotch. His son sat in the incredibly high backed desk chair as he sat behind his desk with his own glass of scotch. Charle's took a puff of his cigar before he continued, "You must tell her my son, you must tell her everything or I will, tell them both and this very evening."
Sebastian glared imperiously at his father in defiance, "I can't tell them not now they are both not ready for it just imagine the shock such a thing would do to them both they are only eighteen merry children we should wait four more years."
Charles who had been pacing suddenly stopped slamming his fist down on the desk as he yelled, "For gods sake man pull yourself together I will not stand by and watch as I can not love and acknowledge my own Granddaughter nor watch either of my Granddaughters suffer day by day from secrets that should never have been held in the first place. You can not protect them forever my son they are young ladies now adults in their own rights you will not be around for them forever. Did you know you know both daughters are suffering greatly from the head ackes of such side affects take just the other day when I took your daughter horse riding she collapsed from the saddle after giving minor warning that she was suffering from such a headacke."
Sebastian face looked pained as he sat back in his chair, "No I was unaware father she didn't tell me."
Charles gaze was fierce but gradually relaxing as he calmed down, "No I imagine there is a lot your daughter doesn't tell you!" Sebastian let out a sigh his face collapsing with remorse, "You are right father, I must tell them I will find an apropriate time to tell them this night it is high time it was known to them both. Even if the only positive thing from this revelation is that there natural affinity for one another is not misplaced and that they know now that they are sisters. I believe this would bring much joy to them both if nothing else does."
Charles went around the desk and placed his hand on his son's shoulder, "I know it's hard son but you will see that you are doing the right thing.
