Chapter 82: Learning The Etiquettes (1)
After joining the family downstairs for dinner, Madeline and Cassian sat opposite themselves as they quietly had their dinner. Although no talking in the dining was part of the family rule, Madeline and Cassian always tend to indulge in some conversation while in the dining, but shockingly today, that didn’t happen.
Questionable gazes shifted from Madeline to Cassian, and then to Madeline as no one had a clue as to what could be keeping the couple’s of the night mute, yet no one bothered to ask questions either. If this was a good or a bad sign, no one could tell.
As far as Elaine knows, those two better not be fighting when the event is just merely two days away.
"Eat." Elaine’s voice snapped the rest of the family to their senses as they began to have their dinner as well.
When the awkward dinner finally came to an end, Madeline was directed to an open hall by Inna who led the way. The sounds of their shoes clicking against the sparkling tiled floor echoed softly as they took each strides through the spacious hallway.
"In two days the celebration will begin." Inna hinted after she opened the two double doors that revealed a massive ballroom that was graciously decorated like every other part of the mansion. The dark blue curtains adorned with flowery patterns were opened, showing off the glass windows that ran from the ceiling to the floor.
The evening moonlight infiltrated the ballroom, adding to its beauty as it bathed the whole arena with a whitish-blue light, and Madeline couldn’t help but marvel at the glorious sight.
"I haven’t seen this part of the mansion before." She said to Inna while moving forward only to stop at the center of the empty, yet beautiful ballroom.
To Madeline’s surprise, Adeline was already waiting in the ballroom as she stepped out of the corner where she once stood. She offered a bow with a warm smile on her lips.
"My lady." She greeted.
"Adeline and I will help you get familiar with the etiquettes that run in this family, as well as how to act in an event that is hosted by the Duke himself." Inna began her explanation. "There’ll be many guests, and believe me when I say, they will keep their eyes for anything juicy that they can go backbite about once the event is over, so to avoid that, Adeline and I will assist you on how to act."
