The hall was beautifully decorated with flowers and silk curtains. All over the decoration was a success. Ayano gazed around and Cedric saw this. He turned over to Ayano and said , " Jeff Ray aka Andrew Simons never makes any mistake in creating first impressions. "

"Yeah, that's quite obvious, so whats the plan. Need a rewind." Said Kazuma showing his growing irritation at the constant closeness of Ayano and Cedric.

"You will soon meet Jeff Ray's wife, Shanaya. You will recognize her immediately recognize her…",said Cedric.

"Why?",asked Ayano.

"That's because, she is fattest and the shortest woman. You have ever seen." He said.

"Well, so what do I have to do?",asked Kazuma .

"You will have to flirt with her and keep her attention totally away from her purse, so that Ayano can take away the map." Answered Cedric.

"Okay that's fine. But make saur Kazuma that your position with her is such so that I can take away the map silently without anyone noticing it."said Ayano.

"Yeah, you don't worry about that." Kazuma said re-assuringly.

"Hey, Andrew is coming towards us." Said Cedric.

It was true . A man in his late twenties dressed in an elegant suit and a face with sharp features came towards them and said," hello, if I am not wrong then I suppose this you, Mr. Kazuma Yagami. Isn't it?"

Kazuma extended his hand and said," Yes, sir, it is me. It is a pleasure that you invited us to this magnificent party. ".

"And who is this pretty young lady?", Andrew asked.

"This is Ayano, my fiancée ." said Kazuma. Ayano smiled at Andrew and Andrew gave a quick glimpse over her and said," Hmmm…..what a fine young lady you have got ?".

Ayano gave a brief smile before Jeff moved away. She said," Does he seem to be person who can smuggle diamonds."

Kazuma nodded his head and said, " You can never judge anyone from his face."

Ayano looked at Kazuma and realized that Kazuma was responding to her more than he did before listening to her story. Kazuma looked at her and asked," What?".

Ayano averted her gaze and said," Nothing."

The party had begun and Ayano and Kazuma took their places while Cedric stood at a distance from them. Ayano was standing near one of the huge windows and Kazuma near the bartending tables. When Jeff Ray's wife, Lucy came to their notice , it didn't take much trouble so as to recognize her. She wore a white lattice and it was quite loose as it fell down to her feet and her hair was fixed in a tight bun. As per the description she fitted quite well in it , fat and short. She was fair but not beautiful, her features didn't match her face .

Kazuma signaled to Ayano and cedric that he was going to execute their plan and headed towards Lucy who was sitting with a grim face as no one wanted generally spoke to her due to her unlady-like appearance. When Kazuma approached her she was a bit surprised and thought the young and handsome fellow may have some work with her husband and not with her, however…..

"Hello, Mrs. Simons". Said Kazuma with a delightful smile that he has mostly chanted upon beautiful woman.

"Lucy looked at him and extended her hand," Why, is it not Mr. Yagami, to whom I have the pleasure of talking?".

"Yes, but please refer me as Kazuma ,can I give you company for a while ma'am". Said Kazuma taking her hand and placing a small kiss ever so lightly on her fingers as he didn't want to taste her that much.

"Yes, yes why not."replied Lucy, feeling herself at heaven that not even her husband would give her company for a few seconds and this handsome is asking her permission.

"Kazuma started his sweet talk and did his very best to keep the lady's attention away from her purse. He held onto her hand unwillingly and whispered to her ears ," Mrs. Simons , may I have the pleasure of sharing a dance with you?".

Noe, Mrs. Simons couldn't hold onto her excitement , she jumped onto her feet and said, "Oh….how wonderful! I was thinking the same thing, Kazuma ".

They soon stepped onto the dance floor and started dancing waltz. Kazuma kept his irritation at bay of the fact that the fat lady was taking no attempt in stopping her feet into stomping into his. And since Mrs. Simons was wearing high heels, that just made things worst. At the corner of his eyes, Kazuma saw Ayano slowly making her way towards the place where Mrs. Simons purse was kept. As planned Cedric, asked the in-charges to dim the lights around the dancing area so as to making the place look beatifull , however the main intention was to keep eyes away from her purse.

It didn't take much long for Ayano to make a thorough check of the purse and once a plane folded sheet of paper dot in touch with the skin of her fingers , she heaved a long sigh. She was nervous about the fact that if caught her handling her purse she would see hell along with Kazuma. Beads of tension which had formed earlier had started was now beginning to cool off as she made her way towards Cedric. Cedric then asked the incharges to regain the lights. As Ayano went towards Cedric with the map squeezed into her delicate purse, she made a slight nod to Kazuma that she has got the 'thing'.

Kazuma told to ," ahh…..it was a pleasure to have you dance with me…now I won't disturb you with my presence." As he wanted to move away from the situation in which he is stuck now.

' eyes went wide open as she said, "Disturbed , what are you talking about? I am absolutely enjoying myself. Don't you worry about me now…",she said giving him a wide smile.

Afew feet apart he could see Cedric closing the distance between him and Ayano and gradually taking her by her waist. A wave of hatred struck Kazuma as he saw that Cedric's arms slowly curved around her very slowly that she never realized that as she was focusing on the map that was in her hands now.

Kazuma's POV:

What the hell is he thinking of doing. First of all she is my fiancée, if anyone sees this what will they think. Did she ever thought about that.

Ayano diverts her attention and notices Cedric's arm around her, she looks up at him and says, "Cedric can you move your arm?".

She's asking 'S ASKING HIM. She should immediately remove his hand around her. Damn, I wish I could get out of here, this fat lady's gonna make me crippled .

Cedric slowly withdraws his hand and turns down at her slowly reducing the distance between their faces and said," Ayano do you know how difficult it is for me to control my intentions into becoming actions in front of you."

Ayano confused of what he is implying asked, "Umm….what are you saying?"

End of POV.

Kazuma warmly gave a smile to and moved away from the dance floor , his speed increasing as his distance from ayano and Cedric is decreasing. As he reached them, he brings an arm around Ayano and pulled her away in a gentle manner taking care that she is not hurt. Cedric stood there dumbstruck unable to comprehend what happened until Kazuma says," Cedric, the job is done and now I think you should leave us alone after all everyone knows that we are a couple and soon to get married so we should stay together for most of the time. Cedric nods his head in disappointment, and walked away. Ayano said," Well, now I see why girls fall for you so easily."

Kazuma looks down at her and gives a smirk," How do you know?",still having his arm wrapped securely around her.

"If, you're able to flirt with a fat lady, and then she melts over you like an ice-cream, well that explains it all." Said Ayano becoming alert of her closeness with the person whom she has loved since the day her eyes fell on him.

Kazuma remained silent but chuckled a bit. Suddenly a lot of media and photographers surrounded them and lights enveloped them from all directions. One of the people asked the dou, "Sir, when are you going to exchange the rings.?"

Kazuma smiled and said,"Well, that's not yet decided noe , but we will make sure to have a press comference".

"Sir, it is obviously a great delight that the Yagami family's son is going to get married . After all the Yagami's have been one of the most powerful families over generation in Queensplace. How do you, sir?".

Kazuma looked down at Ayano as if he was actually going to wed her and said," This is a very big moment for our family and we are going to make every required arrangements for this celebration."

Ayano looked at Kazuma with a shy eye and blushed lightly.

One of them sir," We need to take a few snapshots of you and Miss Ayano.".

Kazuma said,"Sure".

A few snap were taken and Kazuma held her close to him so that they felt like actual couple although deep in his heart he wished that .
