Chapter 2 - Lady Vivienne La'Faye
Celine De Velliere
*curtsy*
Celine De Velliere
Thank you for inviting me, Lady Vivienne.
Celine De Velliere
*smiles*
Vivienne Lafaye
Oh, Lady Celine. Please, it's an honour to have you attend my salon.
Vivienne Lafaye
And please, shall we skip the formalities? You may call me Vivienne.
Vivienne Lafaye
After all, are we not good friends?
Celine De Velliere
*laughs*
Celine De Velliere
You're certainly right, Vivienne.
Vivienne Lafaye
That's more like it
Vivienne Lafaye
Well, you arrived late. I shall introduce you to everyone else.
Vivienne Lafaye
Please, come inside.
Celine De Velliere
*follows Vivienne.*
Vivienne Lafaye
Ladies, here is my good friend, Lady Celine De Velliere.
Everyone
The Lady Celine? *in awe*
Everyone
Nice to meet you, Lady Celine.
Amara Loriese
It's such a pleasure to finally make your acquaintance, Lady Celine.
Celine De Velliere
No, the honour is mine, Lady Amara.
Amara Loriese
You're aware of my identity?
Celine De Velliere
Of course.
Celine De Velliere
Just looking at your necklace, I do believe it only belongs to the House of Loriese.
Celine De Velliere
I heard you're the only daughter of Duke Loriese. So, I had the boldness to assume that you are indeed, the Lady Amara Loriese.
Amara Loriese
How amusing!
Amara Loriese
For someone who haven't made her debut yet, you're very observant.
Everyone
I heard that this is Lady Celine's first time to make her appearance in a social gathering since the incident in their household.
Why are they bringing that up now?
Vivienne Lafaye
I'm honoured to be the first host to have Lady Celine attend their salon.
Vivienne Lafaye
Shall we all sit down?
Celine De Velliere
Of course. *smiles*
The night went on. I seem to have made a few friends. But I definitely did not expect to make an acquaintance with a duke's daughter, let alone the Lady Amara herself.
I didn't expect for Vivienne to be good friends with Amara.
They must have developed a friendship since Vivienne's debut.
I still can't believe I missed out.
Vivienne Lafaye
Well, it certainly was a pleasure to have you all here.
Vivienne Lafaye
We should gather around again like this some other time.
Amara Loriese
Perhaps, I shall make plans for our next gathering.
Amara Loriese
It shall be at my father's villa.
Everyone
*Her father's villa? The one he had gifted to her?*
Vivienne Lafaye
We shall wait for your invitation, Lady Amara.
Amara Loriese
Please, call me Amara.
Amara Loriese
I believe we are close enough to address each other by first names.
Vivienne Lafaye
I'm honoured, Amara.
Amara Loriese
I'll be taking my leave now.
Amara Loriese
Lady Celine?
Amara Loriese
It was an honour to get to know you this evening.
Amara Loriese
I hope to witness your debut into high society next month.
Celine De Velliere
Thank you, Lady Amara.
Celine De Velliere
You shall receive an invitation.
Amara Loriese
*makes her way out*
Vivienne Lafaye
Please, see to it that Lady Amara is escorted into her carriage.
Celine De Velliere
Well, it's time for me to go home as well.
Celine De Velliere
Thank you for having me, Vivienne.
Vivienne Lafaye
It was a pleasure to have you here.
Celine De Velliere
Thanks to you, I've made a few new friends.
Celine De Velliere
Everyone seems kind and thoughtful.
Vivienne Lafaye
Of course, I only surround myself the good people.
Celine De Velliere
*smiles*
Vivienne Lafaye
Is your carriage here yet?
Celine De Velliere
That's alright. I'll be walking home.
Vivienne Lafaye
Alone? Around town?
Vivienne Lafaye
Are you sure, Celine?
Vivienne Lafaye
How did you manage to get here earlier?
Celine De Velliere
*smiles* I walked.
Vivienne Lafaye
Celine! That is very unladylike.
Vivienne Lafaye
A single Lady, and one who is yet to debut cannot be wandering around town in public by herself.
Celine De Velliere
Need not to worry, Vivienne.
Celine De Velliere
I know a pathway where I can undetectable.
Vivienne Lafaye
No. This won't do.
Vivienne Lafaye
I will have Mario prepare a carriage for you.
Celine De Velliere
That is really unnecessary, Vivienne.
Celine De Velliere
Please. As my friend, you will allow this to slip just this once.
Vivienne Lafaye
*hesitant*
Vivienne Lafaye
But, what if someone catches you? Or yet, what if someone with bad intentions do something you?
Celine De Velliere
That is for my own to concern.
Vivienne Lafaye
Please, send me a letter once you get home tk knkw that you've safely arrived.
Celine De Velliere
Of course. I shall send you a letter.
Celine De Velliere
Thank you for this lovely evening. I had a great time.
Celine De Velliere
Have a good rest of your evening, Vivienne.
Vivienne Lafaye
Please be safe on your walk.
Celine De Velliere
And please. Don't tell anyone about tonight.
Vivienne Lafaye
Of course.
Vivienne Lafaye
I shall see you at your debut.
Celine De Velliere
*smiles*
I started walking back home
