-"Captain Ashore!"
-"Captain!" the sailors saluted as I passed by them, I gave nods and waved goodbyes to look for my mother.
-"Mother" I walked over to her, giving her a hug.
-"Here you are, finally"
-"Miss Kingsleigh!" I turned to a man dressed in black coat and hat who was rushing towards me.
-"Yes?"
-"You and the Wonder have been expected over a month ago"
-"There were some complications" there weren't many complications, I just stayed an extra month to follow a clue the Cheshire Cat had given me, bad thing was it ended up being a dead end.
-"Oh! Actually I have some papers Lord Ascot must sign, I was able to get some alliances overseas-"
-"I'm afraid Lord Ascot passed away whilst you were at sea"
-"The title's been passed onto his son"
-"Hamish?!" I almost scoffed the name out.
-"Indeed, now chairman of the board"
-"How unfortunate" I mumbled.
-"Well if you'll excuse me, I best be off" mother got into the carriage, I followed after her.
-Back Home-
-"You're letters weren't very frequent"
-"I never knew where you were those three months, and you stayed an extra month, that was not planned" it was mother's time to scold me now.
-"I know! But China was incredible, and I made so many alliances overseas"
-"We got lost at one point and-"
-"Were you never afraid?"
-"I was, but I thought of Ja-...father when I was"
-"You sound just like him"
-"I miss him"
-"I do too, but time is a cruel master, it passes too quickly"
-"Yeah..."
-"I hear the Ascot's are marking Hamish's succession tonight"
-"Perfect! We should go" it would be a great way to talk to the board.
-"I'm afraid the invitation must be lost in the post"
-"Nonsense! Lady Ascot told me I would always be welcomed" I know she said it when Hamish was gonna marry me but she never took it back so...
-"Besides, I really must get a signature of those papers if he wants the alliance made, I also need a-"
-"You're not leaving again are you? Not so soon?"
-"I must mother, Ja-...I need to finish some business overseas" this was the second time already, good thing mother doesn't listen very closely to what I say.
-"There are important matters here you must assist to"
-"If these alliances get made you won't have to worry about anything" I tried to assure her.
-"Am I allowed to worry for you at the party?" she asked and I replied with only a sly smile.
(A/N):
So...my parents surprised us with a trip to my cousins house for 4th of July. I just got ahold of a computer and pretending to be doing "homework".
I won't be able to post till the fifth, when we come back.
I'm really sorry but I'll post a second part right now to make it up!
Thank you so much for your comments, I'm glad you all like the story so far!
Bye!
