114 A look of disappointment

Fifteen minutes to midnight, Lady Kaoma fumed after she glanced at the grandfather clock. 

Prince Maxixe still hadn't returned since she found out it was the host Lady Bloomingvale that dragged him into a corner. 

More eligible, unattached bachelors came rushing forward and Lady Kaoma ignored them all, she was clearly in a league of her own.

It was obvious to everyone in attendance that she was waiting for someone as her eyes kept scanning the room with a look of disappointment. 

Prince Reginald wanted to be introduced to Lady Kaoma and was patiently waiting his turn.

Normally he was not the type to wait gracefully but when it came to Lord Sayid.

He knew better than to push his way past all the young swains waiting in line to speak to Lady Kaoma.

Lord Sayid was not a prince of Winter Court but he was an equivalent of a prince in his own clan.
