CHAPTER EIGHT - The Lady of The House

Upon arrival, the ball of The Lady Eagerton was indeed another bested sight to behold, fine decor and soothing music to the ears as The Dowager Oakley arrived alongside. The Dowager Countess Knight arriving in hand of her children, as the Baron and Baroness seemed more excited for their arrival than the bride to be. The Earl did look unhappy as his mama gave him a nudge.

"If you wish for men to keep off your wife you should ask her to dance and make known your intentions" His mama whispered in his ears as the Baron and Baroness made their way towards them.

"I do not wish to dance"

He bluntly said

"Carliel"

"Fine, two dances"

He finally agreed as he walked up to the Lady Emery asking for her hand.

"Is there a spot for me on your card Lady Dalton?"

He asked giving the best smile he could, all to please his mama

"I am indeed sorry your grace but it seems like my card is full"
