The Clash

Lady Catherine a very respectable and exquisite woman has just moved into her aunt Lady Sophia home, after the terrible accident that claimed her parents lives which now made her an orphan.
Her aunt, had two kids "Jemu and Jemima " very naughty as you can think, once they put a pin into the shoes of their nanny which made her sing the high key c.
Winter had passed and now summer is here the sun shining so bright as it lightens up the skies,
" There you are Catherine, come on we got alot of party arrangement to take care of, meanwhile you will be sent off with the coach to town to pick up my orders and also do some shopping for me" Lady Sophia said and walking towards Catherine.
" yes , aunt" I replied
********************
Doing the shopping was not hard because it was already ordered as usual but the only unusual thing was the noises heard not from the market square but from my belly, then I knew I skipped my lunch.
In the streets of Verne I walked hungry I had to stop by a bakery to take my last order but then I was offered a tasty bread so I decided to rest and get ready for my trip back home.
Few minutes later , a guy dressed in a ragged outfit ran in looking for a refuge.
" Where is that fool that stole my money huh " a fat beard man with a group of marketers and all armed marching into the bakery.
Someone had to protect him and it had to be me, after the scene , the haggard dressed scum ran out the store without a thank you for being his rescue. So mad at him and still pondering on the scene that took place, then I got the chills that I have done something wrong.
**********************"*
So far, the hired maids and greeters were all on deck, got themselves occupied with welcoming our guests into the great hall.
Although it was not my first time out, I still felt inferior not because of my surrounding but because of the guests , all dressed in high quality attire and displaying their unfailing charisma which made me feel out of place.
I wore my new attire, dressed in red roses and my face hidden behind my mask, ladies and gents sat with pride and the party begun, the long tiring speech was over and the musicians played their instrument to make sweet melodies and everyone with a partner dancing in the great hall.
"Oh my! Catherine you need to find someone to lead you to the dance don't know if you would find your true love, men with high dignity and wealth is hard to find, this is an opportunity , you got to crap it" Sophia said as she accepted an offer to have a dance.
I was so bored sitting and watching them dance made me stressed out, sipping my glass of wine to wile away time as they dance, stare into the glass, a stretched hand came , and to my surprise I was asked to have a dance, I thought my aunty said and I took my chance I opened a floor of discussion .

Dancing was tiring but I got to know the dukes son, Robin .He is a charming young man filled with energy and life, but dangerous in the aspect of women and say so many seductive words that can make a woman miss her lunch for bed .A night to remember, although the incident at the market place kept reappearing in my thoughts.
