Rebecca and David followed Carrick under the table. Rebecca learned quickly it was useless to try shushing the younger boy. Unlike her and her siblings, Carrick had very little to fear. Victoria saw her children as pawns for her own plans and thus controlled them as much as she possibly could, Carrick was spoiled. Ewan let him away with a lot and corrected him very little. Rebecca thought it must be a fun life to not have a parent breathing down your neck like a dragon. She just hoped that she and David wouldn't get in trouble with their mother for playing with him.<br/><br/>Victoria had her best face on her for her guests but didn't escape her very watchful eyes that Carrick was running around like a little hurricane at the wedding reception. His nanny had better control her little ward. Of course, he was Ewan's son and she knew he spoiled the boy rotten. She disagreed with his parenting style but would never tell her secret lover that. He was fiercely protective of his son and she knew it would be unwise to criticize the child. Especially, if Richard and his own offspring all met tragic ends. Ewan would become king and she planned to become his queen. If she said anything ill about Carrick, she knew Ewan would dump her fast and he would ruin the plans for her own children's futures by exposing their long affair. No...She wouldn't risk what she wanted and she would do her best to bit her tongue about she thought of the toddler. Her own children had better behave themselves, though. She had noticed Rebecca and David talking with Carrick. She might not be able to make Carrick behave the way she thought all children should, but her own children had better behave or after the reception ended, they would be in trouble.<br/><br/>-------------------------------------<br/><br/>Katherine danced with a few more guests after she had danced with Alexander before she excused herself to get a drink. It bothered her a little that Alexander didn't love Gwendolyn. It wasn't fair to either of them....She felt awful. She had destoryed her brother's dreams that night and now he was forced to be in a marriage with a woman he might care about but may never truly love. Gwendolyn was a nice girl, she deserved to be married to someone who could truly love her back.<br/><br/>Katherine sighed, there was nothing she could do about it now. Alexander and Gwendolyn were married until death do they part. She saw Elaine and could tell the nanny was very anxious. She nodded her head at Elaine's question. Whatever the slightly older woman wanted to talk about would be a nice distraction from her thoughts about Alexander.<br/><br/>"Yes, of course, what is wrong?"<br/><br/>Katherine asked and frowned when Elaine said Carrick was missing. That wasn't good, Mother would be angry. Although she wouldn't dare take it out on the boy or his father. Not since Ewan was a prince. She could punish David, if her little brother was with him. Carrick would be spared from her wrath, but not David.<br/><br/>"He likes to play with my sister. I thought they were dancing."<br/><br/>She had seen Rebecca and David attempting to dance earlier. Eugenia was supposed to be watching them. Katherine looked around and saw Eugenia was making Nicholas and Adam help her search for her young charges as well. Victoria was going to be really angry if Eugenia and Elaine didn't do their jobs and keep the young children from ruining Alexander's wedding reception. Katherine thought a moment and asked.<br/><br/>"Does Master Carrick like dogs? My father has a six of them but my mother made him keep them outside for the party. Maybe David and Rebecca took him to see them?"<br/><br/>David enjoyed the dogs a lot, almost as much as Nicholas did. Maybe he got bored of all the dancing and convinced Rebecca to take him outside to play with Henry's dogs. It was worth a try.
