When Sebastian and JF arrived at Downton Abbey, the younger Carlos strolled up to the door and lay his finger on the doorbell.

"That is not a great way to start this interaction," JF warned.

Sebastian shot him a glare, causing his cousin to take a step back, accepting that there was not much he could do to change Sebastian's mind. He could hear the guards muttering about how the former prince appeared to have lost his mind but ignored it. The door opened and Thomas stepped out, seeming annoyed.

"Good morning, Mr Carlos," Thomas bowed, then sunk into a deep now upon seeing JF, "Your Highness."

"Where is Lord Grantham?" Sebastian demanded, pushing past the butler. "I need to speak to him at once."

"His Lordship is in the dining room, sir."

"Thank you, Barrow."

Sebastian walked towards the dining room, and JF followed him, rolling his eyes as he went. Thomas looked expectantly as the guards streamed into the hall. Unfortunately, Darrel had not accompanied her fiancé on the trip, so Allen was not with them. Thomas let out a disappointed sigh and rushed to the dining room.


Robert, Tom, and Henry were in the dining room, having breakfast. The door burst open, and Sebastian stormed in, followed by JF. Upon seeing the Prince of Spain, the men got to their feet.

"Your Highness," Tom bowed.

"There is no need for that," JF assured. "We are practically family."

"Well, since Robert disowned Darrel the last time they spoke, I do not know if that is true," Sebastian snapped.

"What?" Henry exclaimed, who did not know anything past the fact that Robert was not speaking to his daughter.

"Darrel made her choice about whom she views as her family," Robert shrugged.

Sebastian stepped forward, ready to fight his future father-in-law, but JF grabbed his cousin by the arm to hold him back.

"Lord Grantham, Sebastian and I would like to speak with you if you do not mind," JF said calmly.

Sebastian could not help but look at JF in shock. JF usually got angry quickly and was not very good at keeping the peace between people. He normally enjoyed causing drama to create some entertainment. However, since becoming the Prince of Spain, JF learned how to act diplomatically, and he was much better at masking his emotions.

"I do mind," Robert replied. "I have nothing to say to the two of you."

"Well, I have quite a bit to say to you," Sebastian responded. "We can either go into the drawing room, or I can speak to you in front of your family and the servants. It is your choice."
