The party went on as usual. Diana chatted among a few gold watchers she met at the previous party. As Alexander was catching beads that were thrown over the second story railing he spotted Diana speaking to Hugo. Alexander saw Hugo holding up a book to the young lady, but she squirmed trying to read it. Hugo knew the look of discomfort, and got the picture. He watched them talking and Hugo motioned Alexander over. He got up to see what their conversation was about. "Alexander I come across some information. Did you know your maid never learned how to read?" He rubbed the poor girl's back. Diana hid her face turning around in shame and embarrassment. Alexander smiled and turned her chin back to him. "It's alright. I've known for a long while." He said holding her shoulders. "Can you teach me?" She asked looking up at the General. "Only if it's alright with Alexander." He couldn't think of anybody he trusted more to teach her than Hugo himself. "That would be perfect."

An hour later, Alexander was having multiple victories for the night, but who wasn't dancing with glee was Diana. She still had to break up with Murphy, and was scared. What if he decided to just tell everybody everything even without the letters? What if he got so consumed with rage that he just started beating her to death? She needed some backup. Emily was with a few other female gold watchers. She took her hand. "Can I borrow you for a moment?" She grinned and followed Diana. "I don't want to be by myself when I break up with Murphy." At this Emily understood. She followed Diana, and grabbed Benjamin's jabot. "Come along big fella. We could use your height." Pierre saw this was the moment of ultimate drama how could he resist? He grabbed Hedwig's arm so he could enjoy as well.

As they went into the next room over, Alexander saw them go, and followed which caused his twin companions to follow their dreamboat. "Wait, where are you going? Alex wait for us." When they stopped Murphy was serving an older gold woman, then he looked up seeing the troop. He knew trouble when he saw it. He placed the now empty tray down, and walked toward them. Benjamin held up a hand. "That's close enough, boy." Murphy stopped walking and stood there. Diana walked forward. "Murphy... I have something I have to tell you." Murphy looked angry knowing this was gonna be a break up. "I don't like the way you treat me. You grab me too hard, and don't let me do things that are harmless fun. You push me to do things I don't want to do." Alexander locked his jaw at the list of things he had done. Murphy was in phased. "So?" He said blankly. "You're a servant just like me. Neither of us matter around here. It's no different from how they treat you." She took a deep breath and let it out. As wrong as that was, she pressed on. "I think it's best if we didn't see each other."

He bit his bottom lip, and launched the metal tray to the floor, causing Diana and the twins to jump in shock. About half the party guests in the room turned their heads to look. "After all that I did to make you smile. A few moments of me strong arming you around, and you're gonna let that ruin everything?" She held up her arm. "You bruised me." She said shaking. This sent Murphy into anger. "I know.... I know you're fucking somebody else." Diana took a step back, getting frightened. "DID YOU FUCK SOMEBODY ELSE?!" Hedwig covered his mouth at the accusation. "Oh, shit." He chuckled under his breath. Diana shook her head. "No! I didn't!" He snarled when Alexander pulled her into his chest. "I KNOW YOU DID! WHICH ONE OF YOU WAS IT?!" He got into Alexander's face. "Was it you, Alexander? I swear to God, that if you fucked her, I will make you suffer!" He threatened through clenched teeth. Emily shoved him back. When he paused he retaliated and walked forward only to bump into Benjamin. "You know what? Enjoy being a virgin! You're gonna be one for a long ass time." He stormed off. "Just you wait! You'll get some payback!" Emily got angry and chased after him. She raised her gold dagger ready to stab his eyes out.

"Emily, don't." Diana pleaded. "You're better than this. I know you are. It's just a break up." Diana leaned in Emily's ear. "He can't hurt any of us." She gripped the dagger tightly wanting so badly to end this scum, but she put back her dagger letting him leave. "If he lost his hands at the wrists, he wouldn't be grabbing anybody... just sayin."

Half an hour later the party continued as planned. The twins of course were furious at their parents butler, and Diana was feeling awful. Sure she knew she had to break up with Murphy, but that didn't make it any easier. It still hurt hearing all his nasty insults. As they sat in the main pleasure room, Pierre was perfectly seated to be able to see Murphy launching himself into his room. Here it came. He just followed with his vision not looking up. After five minutes he watched in overwhelming satisfaction when Murphy exited his room, his face looked pale as a ghost, and he leaned over the side railing staring down at the party guests. "I love seeing mortals twist in the wind." He turned to Alex. "Don't look now, but I believe your maid's former intended just found out that he has lost his arsenal." The British man could only imagine the mortal's face. It made him grin. This was much more satisfying than murdering him, though something told him that Pierre would love to have a reason to kill him.

Diana walked out of the room, and into the ball room. She sighed and enjoyed sitting by herself. Just then a gold watcher came up holding a cane. "Hey!" He said tapping his cane against her shoe. "What's eating you?" He said sitting down. He knew it was Alexander's maid, though he did have trouble remembering her name. "I just broke up with my no good boyfriend, and he retaliated by threatening nearly all my friends." She said swinging her feet over the chair. "Yes, Pierre and I saw the whole thing. It'll get better. He was a pig anyways." She looked up seeing his face. "Remember me? I'm the one that likes to mess with your master every few months." She nodded. "Don't worry, Hedwig. I know who you are." She smirked. "For the record, Alexander keeps his diary in his sock drawer." Hedwig grinned knowing he would need to snag it next time he visited. He then called over another watcher. "Haytham! Haytham! Over here!" She shot up seeing a young gold watcher boy. "Haytham this is Diana. Diana, this is Haytham. Diana recently got her heart broken. Could you raise her spirits?" Haytham sneered at Hedwig and led Diana to the dance floor. "Can you waltz?" He asked the older lady. Diana smiled. "A little."

An hour later Benjamin was dancing with a few women that had asked for a chance to dance with the ex councilman. Even the twins didn't miss their opportunity. Benjamin was more than happy to dance with his admirers. Meanwhile Diana was already exhausted. Alexander wandered in seeing her sitting resting. Haytham must've really been in a dancing mood. He rubbed her shoulder. "You feeling tired?" She looked up and nodded. Alexander knew that parties wore her out quickly. He helped her up and led her to the closest bathroom. He was smart enough to bring her casual maid blouse and skirt. Once she changed he took her to the carriages. He led her in, and helped her relax. "I bet this big gown is a relief to get out of." He said placing it on the opposite side of the carriage. Alexander unbraided the ribbons out of her hair, and took a second to stare at her.

"Oh, Diana." He held a hand up to her cheek. She felt her heartbeat quicken, or at least whatever replaced her heartbeat anyways. If her mixed emotions weren't in such overdrive, she would probably know that this was stupid, but she wanted something from Alexander. Even if it was a simple moment. She climbed into his lap throwing her head over his shoulder. She twirled the curls that ran down his ponytail. "This silly powdered wig." She chuckled flipping the ponytail around. If she looked at Alexander, she would know his face was turning completely red. He couldn't help but tremble at having her in his lap. "Diana...what are you doing?" He said breathlessly. She merely laid her arms at the sides of his waist. He felt her breath in the crook of his neck and couldn't help but laugh at how it felt ticklish. When she pulled up to look him in the face, his amber eye lights glowed with such intensity that he looked overwhelmed.

She looked down at the trembling man beneath her, and saw him leaning toward her. The poor soul looked like he was practically begging for her. "Oh, God...Diana, please I-" She placed a finger on his lips, and smiled leaning in. "Shhhh." She whispered. "You don't need to say anything." She leaned in sweeping hers lips against his. He sighed, and wrapped his arms around her traveling up to her shoulder blades. She felt his hands grasp her back, and whined into the kiss. As he kissed her he felt along her rip cage to her waist. The kept up their heated kiss, as Alexander took time to touch. A frisky hand snuck under the fair maid's blouse playing along her soft skin. "That tickles." She pulled back a second to laugh as he did the same. His shakey hand traveled some going back to kissing.

As he ventured up her back he felt spot that felt rough, but he didn't even feel it for a short second since the moment his hands rested on it, Diana pulled back. The sudden jerk away startled the gold man. When she recoiled from him, he saw her blouse slightly lifted, and saw a pink patch. He immediately felt guilt. "Diana... I'm...I'm sorry. Did I-Did-Did I do something wrong?" Her eyes showed she was embarrassed by something on her back. "No." She whispered. "It's just....that scar hasn't been touched in a long time." Now that she was snapped back to reality, she realized this was probably not a good decision. "I'll ride myself home."
