Beauty and the Marquess, Eva, The Hastings. Book 1

Chapter 13

Harry and olli wander around the big room in awe. Right in the middle of the ceiling hung a beautiful crystal chandelier sparkling like star in the sky.

Harry and olli rush about too and throw the servants roll their eyes muttering spoilt brats to themselves. The girls run up the stairs like hoyden's rather than the ladies they should be both egging each other on.

They see a big fancy bedroom painted a pale pink they holla down the stair's "This is our room, Jumping around excited" Alexander and Elisabetha walk up the stair's hand in hand popping a head into the room inspecting the oh so pink walls and white furniture. "Oh is it now? A smile in their voices.

Olli speak's up you know we love pink Mama and papa mock rolling her eyes at them. So this has to be our room They beg their parent's with puppy dog eyes, Alexander stares at them tenderly ok my pet's this maybe your room. We shall leave you to settle in and the maid's can hang your clothing in the closet.

Elisabetha makes a remark "our children are ruffian's." before they walk out Alexander laughs out loud they are young wrapping an arm around his wife tenderly, besides Eva will be the jewel this season besides my niece Magdalena he remarked with a wink.

"Let me have a look at you ma cherie" Sophie talks softly to Eva. "My your father was not wrong in how beautiful you are" inspecting her golden hair and Blue eyes to her flawless skin and figure.

Eva not quite knowing what to say blurts out "thank you ma'am."

"Oh posh" Why so formal you may call me aunt Sophie ma cherie kissing Eva on both cheeks.

"Thank you aunt Sophie" Eva gulped hesitantly her big blue eye's resembling a deer in headlight's.

Sophie walked around Eva like she was a specimen at an auction, looking up and down her body "how can we dress you?"

" I must have a talk with your mama" with a wave of her hand so Gallic.

"Come." Sophie guides Eva to meet her cousin Magdalena.

Magdalena has bright blue black hair down her back in waves her green cat eyes slant upwards giving Magdalena an exotic look about her, her lips are cherry red and bow shaped.

" My daughter" Sophie introduces Eva they each stare at each other, One dark as night the other light as day. Then Magdalena smiles warmly at Eva and grasp's eva's hands in hers.

"What do you think about our season" whispers Magdalena as Sophie walked away so they can get acquainted.

Eva whispered back "well I haven't been to happy with mama and papa but I'm getting excited with all the balls, masquerade balls plus the theatre all the clothes" "what about you?" Magdalena screws up her nose in thought "I was not happy like you but now I'm looking forward, mama didn't want to present me to the season in france so getting in touch with my uncle gave her the excuse of coming back to London."

My dad the duc was not impressed with mama and the ship we had to sail on to London smirks Magdalena. "Im so happy I have a cousin" my age begins Magdalena happily "I have two brothers and a younger sister who are such pains." Your siblings are pains utters Eva take a look at mine! 5 sister's at least you have brother's.

"Do not worry we shall share a room wee?"

" Yes we shall cousin, may I call you Lena?"

"Magdalena is such a mouthful is that okay" Eva shy asks politely. Yes cousin I like Lena, Very much.

"Let's go find a room" they walk up the winding stairs to find a room that is a long way from our siblings "agreed" they both shake on it!

Walking down the long carpeted hall way until they come to the last door. They open the door slowly and breathe a sigh of wonder at the sight of the room.
