Sir Prince Mikeal Taylor's pov:
My parents came back last night, I called for both parents and my father to join me in my office. I knew what I was going to tell them, my parents all walked in. I told them to have a seat, my mother looked concerned bout Lily "What she do now?" I looked at her "There's a man, whos too old for her. I'm against the union for them ever being an item. So I am telling you all to not give her the right to be with him, I'm trying to help her, I think no one will be good enough for my sister. She has a good heart. My father Rory looked at me "You mean James? He's a duke, he is the type of man who would suit her no?" "No, he's too old for her." He looks at me "His twenty-five." "Like I, no, I won't allow this." My mother looked into my eyes, "Baby I love how you are with her, you love her so. But don't you think she needs to live, to learn for herself? if indeed he is a duke what's the harm?" I rolled my eyes "Mother he is a rake, he has many women, she doesn't need a man like that." "If you think that's best. Do what you think is best." Colin looked at me and thanked me "Thank you for being her big brother, looking out for her, even if she doesn't see it yet. "
Princess Lily Gordan Taylor's pov:
I was watching from a view my old dance teacher try and teach young girls how to do the waltz, I was laughing at some of the commentaries. My brother didn't want me to be left alone with James, I understood why but I always would listen to him, and never gone against him since we were young. But I wanted to experience life. I wanted to have mistakes and just learn to deal with them myself rather than having Mikey always there to back me, I wanted to be able to stand on my own feet. I - I heard Rucurs behind me, It was Three gentlemen arguing over one thing or another, I looked then turned my head I had spotted James but wasn't going to let him think I saw him, I turned my head hearing the dancers learn how to dance. I saw the teacher looked like she was in need of help, So I volunteered myself. I went over to them and my old teacher looked pleased to see me, "Children, this is my old student Lily Taylor." "You seem to need help. Now yes we need pairs for this activity, how about-" She turns around looking at the three men standing She eyes them and calls out for assistants, "Mar'm how can we assist you?" James and his brothers were looking at me, "This young lady needs a partner for the dance, the waltz could one of you -."
James Adams grinned and smirked and agreed "Never leave a damsel in distress." I rolled my eyes.
And after the waltz, I looked him in the eyes and said "Thank you." He nods and says "Come with us, where getting out of here." I couldn't, I stand still "My brother wouldn't allow it." "Do you do everything your brother tells you to do?" "Well No but-" "Well then live a little." "It's more about my reputation sir." "Three fine gentlemen escorting a young lady how could that be anything but a nice thing?" "You Sir are the definition of trouble." "And don't I know it? I'm just trying to help you live life." "I live life". I mutter "In these four walls? Come out with me, I vow to protect you if there is any problem along the way." I feared he himself was the problem.
"Hmm ..." I wonder, James stood still watching me, and said shyly "Are you going to live your life through your brother or will you take a stand?" "I'm going to regret this. Fine lets go."

London - greenfield
I stood along a stream of water flowing through the pond. Followed by James's brothers their names were Tyler, Greg, and the last Benny. Then James was walking alongside Greg and Ben. I was with Greg, I came to the edge of a halting stop, and his hand came flying out to help me. "My lady." He states "Why, thank you, Sir." Along our travels we found a group of unpleasant gentlemen, I wouldn't call them that but they seemed to be men, just didn't act like it. once we came back to the Castle my brother was first on the scene, James explained everything then everyone else joined us in the garden on the sofa. James helped me, defend my honor when those nasty men were there trying to lift up my skirt. My mother looked at Mikeal "I think you owe Sir Adams an apology for helping your sister and coming to her rescue." "I suppose, thank you."
"A pleasure." "See." Demi says looking at her son, He mutters "Doesn't change my mind mother." Then he stormed off. "
