After the song 'moon river' came to an end, the interlude for the ball followed.
Geoffrey led Serena to the refreshment area and nobles specially those allied to Geoffrey knew not to intrude. However, there were some people who just wanted to seek attention, and one such was Emily.
Since Charlton was her partner, he had to send her to the refreshment area before he can leave, but since she chose to approach Geoffrey and Serena, he felt compelled to accompany her. In fact, he thought that it was good she chose to do that, at least that way, Serena won't be left alone with Geoffrey for long.
"Your highness, Lady Serena, it has been a while. I hope we're not intruding?" Emily said as she curtsied and greeted them.
Charlton who now stood beside her also gave a polite greeting to Geoffrey and Serena.
