Chapter 14 - Are you ready?

"King Phyllis there are some important guests who would like to speak to you"spoke butler Bailey, Phyllis nodded in understanding "I need to speak to some important guests, I will see you both downstairs" Cara nodded and she turned to her son whilst Phyllis walked out of the room.

" I have decided I will be staying here for the month with you also are you ready for the ball" the duke looked at his mother "I have had the rooms arranged and your belongings have been set in your room mother, yes I am ready"

His mother looked at him in the eyes and he knew what was coming "well there will be plenty of women and girls at the ball today" Cara deliberately played with her son "who knows you will finally find one to settle down with, I will finally be able to see my little baby grandchildren running around the hallways" he smirked "mother I have been so busy in this city and I only had time to concentrate on my work I don't know, though you could be right"

Cara looked at him with a smile "I will be downstairs son don't be too long" with that Cara closed the room door on her way out. The duke turned and looked at himself one last time in the mirror but before he could actually leave an idea popped up in his mind. The duke quietly came out of his room, he walked down the halls that were brightly lit he was focusing on everyone before he would make the grand entry he wanted to roam around without being noticed and what better way than to blend in with nothingness he noticed the food on the table, guests all laughing,speaking, exchanging pleasantries some young humans were already getting a bit curious.

As he continued walking he slowed down in his steps when he heard some girls speaking there were four of them to be precise, he could also smell a faint scent of gypsophila flowers coming from that direction.

His attention was caught "I know you all love me and care about me but I only came here since my friends and aunt insisted you all know how I strongly dislike these men so please I wish you all good luck with your findings but keep me out otherwise this dinner dance ball will turn into a massacre ball"

"Interesting indeed" thought the duke he was just about to walk around the bend when "duke,duke" Gerald the butler called for him and he had to move away it was his time to show up and deliver his speech.
