Alistair scowled at his mother.  The little slut had no power over him, but his father did, and now that the little suckup Valentine was behind him he couldn't risk a confrontation to show her how little he cared about her status as the "Lady of the House".  He'd make her pay later, but he could not afford to risk upsetting Father at the moment.  He spun on his heel and looked around the room for someone to feel the brunt of his frustration.<br/><br/>Conciously avoiding Christine and lamenting that he had 'rewarded' him.  He finally had the presence of mind reply to Louis, "So long as you don't hurt her, you have free reign my good man."  He then turned his attention to the other redhead in the room and smiled lecherously.
