Annaliel nodded back at him and Charles just simply smiled a bit as they continued to talk about things they had done. There were some things that not even Constantine knew about his own wife. She had been to Ireland to study with a high class private tutor for a year before she turned eighteen, traveled to France to see many operas with her great aunt who happened to be a famous singer there and even went to Norway with her father on business and got to sample their many brews. The list seemed to go on and on and all of it things that she never once mentioned to her husband. Charles would add his own comment once in awhile and even told his own stories about his travels and such. Soon before anyone knew it, it was late and Arelson was starting to get fussy, meaning it was time for his afternoon nap. Annaliel picked up the whining baby and rubbed his back comfortingly as she looked to Charles, him also standing up to go as well.
"It was great to see you and, I do hope we can see you around." She said politely.
"I hope so as well, I will be here for quite some time. My mother plans to keep me here until after the season so she intend to have me engaged before I head back to the caribbean. Now that I think about mother, she will be have a small garden party later in the week. It won't be anything big, just a small dinner party and then dessert and tea out in the garden at night. I would be glad if both of you came. Mother would be thrilled to see you again Annaliel and I'm certain she would be all a flutter to meet the Grand Duke." He said with a small chuckle. " I'd like to have at least one friend among all the single girls my mother is probably planning to invite."
