Natalya watched Ancel answer the door and basically growl at his son.  She couldn't help but feel bad for Alenard, with everything that had happened, and when Ancel shut the door in his son's face, she felt a twinge of guilt.  While she was here trying to really get on her husbands good side, Alenard was loosing his place in life and had little hope of regaining it, at least not while Natalya was helping Ancel replace him.  As, Ancel turned his attentions back on her, she tried to push the sad thoughts out of her mind.  She stood up to do as he ordered, but then the thought entered her mind.....<br/><br/>Ancel had said something about an assignment to his son, and of course there was the subject of him placing a guard on her, and now Alenard was standing outside the door keeping guard.  He couldn't possibly be thinking of making Alenard her guard.....  As uncomfortable as the thought was that he was right outside, Natalya didn't know that Alenard could hear them inside.  When she heard Alenard call back to his father from the hallway, she stopped walking towards her husband and looked towards the door and then back to Ancel, nervously.  "Does he really have to stand there?"  she asked him innocently.  "I don't want him to..... hear us."  She fidgeted uncomfortably unsure of how he might react, maybe thinking that she was stalling.
