Blood red water part two

A week later, The banquet day.

The preparations for the banquet were almost done, Alice and Patel, Watched as the servants and the maid's moved around the mansion preparing for the evening.  

"Patel, Come on, Can't you change your mind." Alice said, pouting her lips as she looked at her.

Patel laughed and shook her head hopelessly.  

"Maybe another time, But this time." Patel replied signaling.

 "Are you sure that I can't change your mind?" Alice still has a hope of changing her mind.

"No." Patel replied, shaking her head."You should go and prepare yourself, You are going to be late." She added pointing at the time. 

"Alright, I'm going now, Text me if you changed your mind." Alice said before she left.
