James and his father went to his Auntie's place in Westminster.

"It's been ten years since I last saw you" James's auntie hugged him

"I missed you Auntie" He replied back

Sarah faced James's father

"Hello brother, how are you" she asked him

"I'm fine as always" he said

"Come here inside, It's cold out there" she said to the two

James and George entered at Sarah's mansion

~~~~~~~

"In the afternoon, many people will go here and join our celebration especially the noble families" Sarah told to the two

"Is that so, then I must join the occasion" James said

"Yes" Sarah replied

After a few moments

"I'm sorry auntie but I need to go back to my room" James said to his Auntie

Sarah nodded her head as James leaves the room

"He must have been exhausted from his trip" Sarah said to George

"Yes" George replied

In the afternoon

Many people haved already arrived at the palace

"There's so many carriages outside" Louis said while looking outside

"They might have invited all noble families here in London" James replied

Louis hummed in agreement

Suddenly, someone knocked at James's door

Louis opened the door

"Good afternoon Baroness Sarah" Louis greeted James's auntie

"Good afternoon too" She replied

Sarah looked at James

"Dear, are you finished fixing yourself?" She said

"Not yet aunt" he replied

"Just tell me if you need something" Sarah then closed the door

James pulled his suit from his baggage. Suddenly, something falls as he pulled his suit.

"What is that" James thought to himself

He looked at the floor

"It's Y/n's handkerchief" James eyes widened

James stared at the handkerchief for a long time.

"I remembered her" James said to himself

James decided to take Y/n's handkerchief with him and put it in his suit's pocket

"Sir are you ready?" Louis said as he open the door

"Let's go" James said to Louis

The two then leaved the room

At the hall

James and Louis walked at the side of the hall as the visitors talk with each other

"James, come here" Sarah waved to James

He noticed his Auntie and followed her to where she is going

"Have a seat" she said

"No need" he replied

Suddenly, a non familiar woman walk towards Sarah

"How are you?" The woman said to his aunt

"I'm fine as usual" she smiled

As the two chattered with each other, James watched the other visitors enter the hall

"Is that your nephew?" The woman asked Sarah

"Yes" she replied back

"I see"

"James" Sarah whispered to James

He faced his auntie

"James, would you mind introducing yourself to Mrs. Robinson?" She said to him

James nodded

"Good afternoon ma'am, I am James Smith" He said as he bows to the woman

"Good afternoon too young man" Mrs. Robinson smiled

As they chattered, a young woman walked towards Mrs. Robinson

"Mother, have you seen father?" The young woman asked

"I didn't see him dear, maybe he's talking with Mr. Smith outside" Mrs. Robinson said to the young woman

The young woman looked at James

"Mrs. Robinson, who is she?" James asked to Mrs. Robinson

"Oh, this is my daughter Eleonor" Mrs. Robinson said while holding her daughter's arms

"Dear, can you introduce yourself?" Mrs. Robinson said to Eleonor

"Good afternoon Your Majesty, my name is Eleonor Robinson. Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robinson" she said as she curtsied

"Good afternoon too miss Eleonor, I'm James Smith. Eldest son of Count George and Countess Agathe" He said to Eleonor as he bows

"I'm happy to meet you" Eleonor said to James

"Me too" James replied

The ensemble immediately starts playing a music and all the visitors went at the center to position themselves

"Mr. James, Would you mind dancing my daughter? This is actually her first time dancing in an ball" she said

James nodded

"Would you mind dancing with me?" He asked the young woman

"My pleasure" Eleonor curtsied

The two went to the hall and danced with the music

They gathered the attention of everyone in the hall

"Well, your actually good at dancing even if it's your first time doing it" James said to Eleonor

Eleonor smiled at James

"Really?" Eleonor said

James nodded

"They suits each other right Sarah?" Mrs. Robinson said while staring at James and Eleonor

"I think so" Sarah replied
