Unlike her previous engagements Maricela had decided to send an formal invitation to Lady Kattalin of the Ibarra house to visit a local teahouse in the Markets. It was a lovely, little café where the Sandoval princess could reserve her own private room for the two ladies. For this meeting there was a chance for more personal questions to be asked and answered, so prying ears would simply be unwelcome. Secondly, she had told none of her other family members that she was meeting with Lady Kattalin as she did not want the influence of Rosalinda or Rafe in any of this. Rosalinda had her own aspirations in regards to the Ibarra family which included the young woman's older brother. The cousin's plan was one that Cela was unsure if she would allow, yet so far Cela had made no direct efforts against Rosa's dreams.
Then there was her dear brother who had fallen head over heels for a lady he had meet on only a few occasions. Of course Rafe, like many men, was the type who thought he knew what he wanted in a life partner. Often times Maricela found that people truly did not know what they wanted until they were properly informed of it. How much her dear brother was swooning over this little bird worried the Sandoval princess as she thought he was made quite clear of their positions in the family. Certainly Maricela had her own goal in sight for her marriage but the artist was not in a state of bliss about it. Marriage was a duty, a business arrangement, and if Cela wanted to hold a high rank in society she would have to earn it. Was this Lady Kat of the same mindset? And most of all was she more than a pretty face who truly deserved to hold the position of being the new Sandoval Duchesses when the time came? Yes, if the lady failed to impress her today then Cela would do everything in her power to teach both of them a lesson of heartache for the greater good. Of course when her cousin and brother found about this meeting the two of them would likely be irritated with her, but they would see the logic in it soon enough.
Waiting patiently in the room pout aside for them Cela let her mind continue to wander as blue eyes studied a piece of artwork handing on the wall above where Lady Kattalin would be sitting. It was a piece of modest talent, a landscape painting of the lake which was now starting to make the young woman long for an adventure in the water. It had been so hot recently! Perhaps, she could host a small daylight social near the water after her masque?
