Internal battle
Carmina was escorted through the hallway of the main dining room , as we all nodded our heads in apparent approval of her wishes .We merely expressed some word or other gesture , to the eye as we watched her ascend the stairs to the bedrooms in a graceful manner .
"And now what shall we do , kiss the claws of her feet without saying any objection" .
Coyote muttered as Carmina's figure disappeared into the shadows of the hallway .
"Do you think this is a game , this is no time for your temperament jolts . We know very well the threat that this woman is , we can't lose control at this time and much less with the presence of my daughter so close to here".
Whispered the grandfather taking with force the shoulders of his son .
The latter made a voluntary gesture with his shoulders to get out of his grip but to no avail .
"I'm serious Domenicus, I don't want you to go out with any of your recklessness, in these moments only diplomacy and a firm character can get us out of this mess".
finished the grandfather releasing the grip he exerted on the coyote's shoulders covered with a worn brown leather jacket . The coyote nodded his head and let out a long sigh .
"This is all my fault I shouldn't have brought that woman here , I should have let her murder me in the woods ."
I commented ducking my head down dejected with guilt .
"This is not your fault , none of this situation is . You don't have to be discouraged by this , we'll both work this out and that woman will have to go back where she came from "
Putting a hand on my shoulder , Sasha tried to appease the feeling of discouragement that was weighing me down .
"Don't forget dear grandson that we are the Hall family and we are together until the end".
Inhale deeply and exhale calmly as I heard the words of encouragement to go through with this whole charade .
"And now enough talk and let's go wear our best tuxedo for this occasion" .
Grandpa commented wryly , and we all went upstairs to the bedrooms in search of the right attire for the lavish dinner .
The butlers of the mansion escorted us and kept their distance from the table, and from one of the corridors that were at a limited distance came out Sasha wearing an outfit worthy of royalty, shiny and fine silk.
Her presence was like a colorful rainbow after a stormy rain, her hands adorned with a large number of golden rings that simulated a metal more expensive than gold, and her long ash-blond hair that rosy her ankles were details impossible not to catch at a glance.
I guess besides a battle of powers, this was a battle of female creatures and there only Sasha could be at the forefront. Parts of the gestures on our faces were hard to decipher, inexpressible as if they had the order to stay out of any inappropriate situation.
There was a sweet scent in the air that we could not see where it was coming from, but after a few seconds we could see Carmina's outlined face, across one of the aisles levitating with such grace that it was a delight to watch her approach the dining room.
We all inhaled deeply at the sight of her and even more so when she arranged to sit at the head of the table, in a tall chair with shiny gold metallic finishes.
"I hope you don't mind me sitting at the head of the table , you may take your seats, let the banquet begin!"
Declared with a commanding voice the Carmina , looking with great satisfaction at the coyote and grandfather seated at the table.
The crystal clear dishes that were placed on the empty table, from one moment to the next were filled with food of all kinds, fruits and vegetables from the earth were overabundant, and animal meat was the only meat visible in the midst of so many products of the earth. Each plate had a goblet beside it, a goblet of elegant and sophisticated finish, which were filled with animal blood wine .
"I hope the change of diet will not make you lose your composure , I know that we regularly usually go out to marry , but take this tiny portion of beef as an appetizer while the real feast I have prepared arrives ."
We all looked at each other with great intrigue as we listened to Carmina's words regarding the food , but no one omitted any judgment .
Carmina was dressed in an imperial style gown, with gemstone embroidery at her waist that made her look slender and delicate. Her arms were covered with long sleeves of the same fine silk fabric as the dress itself, and on her legs was a small slit that revealed part of her slender, pale, shiny legs.
The jewelry she wore was peculiar, this jewelry was more ostentatious silver, oversized and shiny. The rings on her fingers had colored stones in the center. Her long dark hair , was slightly combed back , and had an impeccable and wet look . Her makeup was accentuated, but did not fall into exaggeration , her eyes had translucent silver leftovers with a slight metallic blue touch , with a slight eyeliner on the water line of her deep reddish colored eyes . Her lips had a raspberry hue and looked supremely juicy and glossy, and her cheekbones had a hint of peachy blush that lent lushness to her entire pale face.
"I must acknowledge the great effort you have put into preparing all this , you are an excellent hostess".
Grandfather praised with great courtesy Carmina's gifts as an organizer to win her trust , because he had discovered that what she loved most was to be admired and applauded for her powers and great abilities .
"Thank you very much , the truth that this place inspires me a great admiration . and I decided to take the boldness to organize this dinner to enjoy as it should ."
Clarisa sketched a big smile of victory on receiving the compliments of grandfather .
"Let's toast to our guest, Miss Clarisa who will accompany us tonight . And who has complimented us with this magnificent dinner."
Sasha commented in a polite and courteous manner.
We all raised our glasses and toasted together, while our gazes challenged each other. There was so much tension in the dining room that the air could be cut with a very sharp knife .
"You look flawless tonight Carmina , nothing compares to the young lady you were when you were my trellis ."
