Previous: He was so confused, why had the letters Hattie and Ella sent him say that she was married? He sighed until he heard a commotion on the far side of the ballroom.
Char's POV
I looked over and saw Lady Lela and Lady Hattie. Lela's back was to me, and to my astonishment her mask was in her hand and Lady Hattie was looking livid with a scowl plastered on her face. I started forward to tell Hattie off for behaving so, but just before I reached them, Lela put her mask back on, turned around and ran right into me.
"Oh Char, I'm terribly sorry, I didn't know that you were there. I'm truly sorry but I must leave early. I'm very sorry that I won't be able to hear you sing." And with that Lela left. I stood there mouth open at her sudden departure and rounded on Hattie. I pulled her into a corner of the room so that we didn't make a scene.
"What did you say to Lela?" I demanded.
"Nothing Charmont dear, I just demanded to see her face.
"Lady Hattie, I forbid you to ever speak to of about Lady Lela of Bast ever again." I growled and with that I left to go after Lela. When I got outside her carriage was gone. I went inside and told my father that I refused to sing. He wasn't happy, but when I told him that I needed to sleep (which was a lie) so that I could leave in the morning to go visit the maiden that I wished to marry, he agreed that I didn't have to sing. I left the hall for my father to announce that it was over.
Sorry it's short
