oseline seemed to be thinking, /"hmm, strange. Who do you think he is actually, all the books says different things/" she said and he frowned

/"How would I know, I wasn't born in his era/" he said and stood up, he can't take it anymore /"forgive me my lady, but I shall join the party now/" he said

/"Oh okay, thanks for the company, we will continue some other time/" she said and he just nodded and left. Rose smiled secretly, she had successfully pushed him away, all the questions she asked, she already know the answer but she just wants to drive him away, she was not ready to listen to whatever he has to say. As she bend to the book again, she heard someone ask

/"May I have this dance my lady? I have been watching you as you were talking with the prince and was waiting for him patiently to leave/" it was Lord Harrison, the fourth son of Lord James Harrison, Rose had to stop herself from shouting at him

/"I am sorry my Lord, but I don't feel the need to dance, that's what I was telling the prince, so I'm afraid, I will have to refuse you too/" she said with a forced smile and he nodded understandingly

/"Then I shall leave you be my lady, some other time then/" he said and she nodded

/"Yes, some other time/" she said

/"Farewell then, my Lady/" he said and walked away, she sighed and returned to her book but it wasn't up to five minutes when another one came and she couldn't help herself for she groaned and the young Lord has to leave immediately for fear that he might anger her, Rose ended up turning down ten dance requests before her sister joined here

/"Not once did I see you dance sister/" Monica said and Rose rolled her eyes

/"It’s good to know that you remembered you left me here sister/" she said and Monica smiled pleadingly

/"I am sorry but Lord Lugars wouldn't let me leave/"

/"So it's him over me?/" Rose asked

/"Of cause not sister, I shall make it up to you, I promise/" she said

/"With what?/"

/"How about I let you wear the dress mother bought for me that you love so much?/" Monica said

/"For how long?/"

/"For a day of cause/"

/"Why a day?/"

/"Oh sister, Lord Lugars had seen me a lot in that dress, you don't want him mistaking you to be me/" she said and Rose sighed

/"Of cause, why not, I shall tell mother to burn that dress before people will think that you wear it a lot because they can't buy another for you/" Rose said and Monica laughed

/"You will miss it more sister/" she said

/"Why would I? It’s not mine/"

/"But you love it/" Monica said and Rose smiled

/"Aye sister, I really do/" she said and Monica smiled, the two sisters remained together till the end of the party before leaving in their carriage, Lord Lugars had come to say goodbye to them outside and Rose had gotten into the carriage impatiently, just what could she do for her sister to see what she see in him?

Monica got into the carriage after saying goodbye to Lord Lugars, Rose sensed the difference in her sister's attitude and laughed

/"What, did he propose right there?/" She asked and she shook her head

/"I guess he won't propose anytime soon/" Monica said softly

/"Good/" Rose said

/"Sister, I really do like him/" she said looking at her sadly, Rose felt bad for a moment but then she regained her wits

/"Maybe he is not the one for you sister, if he is, he should have apologized by now, you are seventeen and he turned eighteen, what is he waiting for? A royal proclamation?/" She asked and Monica smiled sadly.

/"Maybe he is still thinking over it/" she said and Rose scoffed

/"He should keep on thinking while his mates are getting married, and you too sister if another comes while he is delaying, I will advice you marry them, don't forget that Lady Martha and Lady Sharon are married, and their are your age mates and friends/" Rose said and Monica look more solemn

/"That's what I'm saying, I really thought he would ask me tonight but he didn't/" she said /"I don't know what to expect anymore./"

/"Why don't you stop waiting on him, give a chance to others, come on sister, they are a lot of noble Lords to marry you, don't depend on the shrimp/" Rose said and Monica chuckled.

/"You will never stop calling him that, will you sister?/" She asked and Rose nodded and Monica sighed /"but please stop./"

Rose put her arm around her and draw her in for a hug /"I shall try sister, I shall try/" she said and smiled, they remained in each other’s arm while the coach took them home.
