"The White Kingdom Madam." He gives one of his infamous yet charming smile.

"That's nice. I've heard of good things coming from that place. Do you have any siblings?" She asked while trying to keep the conversation lively.

"Yes, i have a twin. Prince Avery may or may not come a bit later."

"Well, I need to head to the ladies room if you will excuse me." Lucy didn't feel like talking much to the guy. He wasn't really interesting and she didn't like small talk.
Cordelia walked into the open door and looked around at the grand room, enjoying its beauty. Then she looked around at the people. There were servants lined up against the wall. Cordelia was surprised by how attractive they all were. But she couldn't focus on them at the moment. She wasn't the oldest noble in the room but she wasn't the youngest either. A girl who looked about her age was walking away from a boy with shocking hair and a deviously charming smile. She went closer to him, pretending to admire the art on the walls.

Angel admired the mirrored walls and the shiny chandeliers, He knew a girl was trying to approach him. But he never makes the first move, it makes him look needy. I wonder if Avery will come when he feels better… He thinks, peering into a large library Avery likes those books.
The boy wasn't taking her bait, and he was doing it on purpose. His back was to her so she took the opportunity to look him up and down. His shoes were incredibly shiny and his hair was much too groomed and his nails were much too meticulous. She walked up next to him in the doorway of a large library. "Impressive, is it not?"

"Yes, my brother would love it." He said, not turning around. This girl thinks im going to jump for her bait, but im not a fish. Im a prince and we don't do that.

Bianca counted heads, realizing there were enough people in the room for her to start the tour. She would need a bit of help wrangling the group, so she turned to the line of maids and asked Elodie if she could help before moving to the front of the crowd, cupping her hands around her mouth, and shouted "Everyone we will be showing you around the manor now, will you please follow me?"
Interesting, Cordy thought. He had seemed perfectly friendly to everyone else as she walked in, but was unacknowledging to her attempts at conversation. She must have done something to offend him. She was just about to respond to him when a maid asked everyone to follow her. "Will he be joining us?" she asked, as they walked.

"Im not sure, he is currently sick." He says, his voice breaking at the thought of his brother. "Im Prince Angel."

Bianca waited for everyone to settle and began leading the nobles forward. She would be showing them the first, second, and third floors, but not the attic or basement, per Mistress' request. She wondered if Mistress would be joining them and then realized that the last stop was her parlor. Duh! The first stop on the tour was the dining room, which she ushered everyone into.
group
Lucy walked towards the large dining room that had one chandelier with intricate designs on it and a table that could seat about 24 people.

"This is the formal dining room," Bianca explained, hoping to god everyone could remember where all the rooms were. She would have to travel all the way from the basement, where the servants quarters were, up to the third floor in order to leave them around. "Mistress has asked that you eat dinner here every night, but you can take the meal in your room if you really want to." She let them take in the room for a second before leading them to the informal dining room.
Cynthia spoke up asking Bianca a question. “Do you know what time dinner will be served?”

"Of course Madam," She began, lowering her head to a respectful tilt. "Dinner is served from six to seven." She addressed the group again. "This is the informal dining room, where you will be eating breakfast and lunch. Food is served from seven in the morning until one thirty in the afternoon."
Cynthia nodded, taking note of all the times so she knew when to eat.

Bianca was supposed to take everyone around the lower levels of the house, but she was tired. The sooner she got this whole tour over with, the sooner she could nap. She led everyone into the library, the parlors, and the sewing room, skipping over just about every room that wasn't strictly necessary. Then she led everyone onto the second floor, showing off the various sitting rooms, Mistress' second favorite parlor, the drawing room, the three studies where the nobles were allowed, and the green room. She loved the green room, it had walls made of glass and was filled to the brim with plants and flowers.
group
"Do you know if the duchess hosts dances or something of the sort?" She asked Bianca, hoping the answer would be yes. She was quite fond of dances or balls where she could meet more new people.

Bianca nodded, eye lighting up at the memory of the last ball. "Yes, all the time! Mistress is most fond of balls and such. In fact, the ballroom is on the first floor, though it is closed to you for now." She led the group up to the third floor, where the nobles would be staying. "You rooms are on this floor, your name will be marked on the door."
group
Lucy walked to her assigned room and opened the door. It had almost everything that she would need. She called up her butler's to bring her luggage and clothes.
Cordelia walked to her room, taking note of all the names on the rooms around her. The room to the right of her room was labeled 'Lucy' who had already gone into her room. Cordelia opened her door. Her room was beautiful. It was tastefully decorated and the view was magnificent. She opened the doors to her balcony and looked out at the garden below.

Angel walked into his room, looking around at the space. "Not as large as im used to, but it will do." He mutters and takes out his luggage, starting to unpack.
group
Lucy started placing her clothes in the dressers and her make-up neatly on the counter. She then looked inside her own private bathroom and saw how there was a Jacuzzi- sized tub and a corner shower. The bathroom was very large, almost the size of a living room in a normal house. She looked at the different soaps and shampoos in glass bottles, storing that in her memory for later. When she finished organizing her items she went back on her bed to read as she waited for the next event.

Bianca began the long walk back to the servant's quarters, only to be stopped by Matteo. "Our lady Giovanna has instructed you to bring the honorable Miss Lucy up to meet her." He pulled gently at his lapels, nodding sternly to her before he walked up the stairs. Returning to the Mistress' side no doubt. She sighed, walking up to Miss Lucy's room and knocking on the door gently.
Cynthia walked into her room, looking around. She sat on the bed, admiring the walls. The walls were painted such a pretty color and she wondered if others had the same or if they were color coded. She thought it was funny that the walls were almost the same color as her dress, a light blue.
group
Lucy gracefully got off the bed and put her book down while going to answer the door. "How may I help you?"

Matteo walked up to Lady Cordelia's room and rapped on the door three times. He had been instructed to lead her to the secondary sitting room and keep her company while Madam Giovanna spoke with Lady Lucy.
