KING'S DINNING ROOM.

It was night time and all Henry's had shown up to the big party Sir James had put on at the saltburn manor for them and their wife's.

There was a very big and long table that everyone away sitting at.

As promised Elspeth had put Venetia next to Oliver and Willow next to Felix and farleigh next to herself, which was working one way.

One one had Oliver had been happily chatting to Venetia and some what of Lady Daphine (Henry's wife) most of the night.

But on the other Willow had been still annoyed the way he spoke to Farleigh the other day and how he believed Oliver's lies.

She snarled at Oliver whenever he looked over as the boy gave her a weird look.

"Come on, Willow.." Felix moaned on trying to catch her attention with a hand on her knee exposed in the blue silky dress she was wearing^.

Willow shook her head head "I can't believe you actually believed him.!" She said in disbelief turning towards him their faces close together.

Before he could talk again the woman beside him grabbed his arm as he faced her, the woman starting to talk to Felix making him smile and talk back.

Willows face was furious and she blew smoke out her nose looking forward into know where.

The man beside her, Henry, had asked her "so are you and Felix a thing?" Raising his eyebrows and winking.

She pulled a disgusted face before saying "not quiet but somewhere along those lines".

He shook his head saying 'god help her' when Willow told him about her and Felix.

From across Venetia had questioned Oliver "Felix warned you off then?" She asked picking something off her plate.

"Maybe we just need to be more careful.." he replied laughing a little.

Venetia shook her head "no thanks" she awkwardly adjusted her seat looking back at him.

"It's just so disappointing your another one of his toys.." she pointed in Felix's direction.

Oliver seen Felix and then a sulking Willow talking to no one but the creepy man next to her.

"You're upset." He said plainly back to her as she rambled on about her not liking Felix's toys.

Oliver was just about to argue back until lady Daphne tapped his shoulder.

"Me first. You're on my left." She said in a posh voice going right though his ears.

Turning towards her Oliver apologized and started a conversation.

"So.. how long have you known the Catton's for? He asked "Oh forever. Forever and ever." She instantly replied instantly.

Oliver nodded his head trying to think of more questions.

"And how did you-" Lady Daphne cut him off once again "my husband is James' godson." She nods over at Henry.

"Have you two been married long?" Oliver questioned looking at the man.

She nodded her head "yes."

"Lovely" he replied.

"Why?" She asked him.

"Um.." the room got awkward between the two Oliver not knowing what to say.

Putting her hands up "The man's an idiot!" the woman said loudly over all the chatter.
