Minako and Kunzite took their seats in the royal box.
"I suppose you must have seen many plays and operas at Ceres."said the Duke of Sappas.
"Plenty."answered Kunzite. "I think we saw about three a week. Ballets, as well. The duchess is a very accomplished actress and dancer."
Which they had. Ceres loved to act, and one of the things that they did often at her court was hold plays and ballets.
"Oh, dear."exclaimed Lady Sappas. "Our daughter is no actress. We hope that you will be pleased with the service our daughter gives Her Grace."
"I'm very sure she will."said Kunzite.
"But you must be thrilled to be back here for the season."said the Duchess of Sappas.
"Yes, very. Not too thrilled to have left Ceres, though."
"We hope to view the other senshi and shittenou, will attend part of the Venusian social season, however."said Minako, as a page gave her her opera glasses. "Fortunately, it's not one of those years where they all coincide at the same time."
"No one was able to attend the opening ball, and obviously, did not view it. That would only be silly."added Kunzite.
"Imagine! Viewing? At a ball!"giggled Minako.
"And trying to dance, only as a hologram."nodded Lady Sappas. "Every one of them will be anxious to attend at least part of the season at the Court of Love."
"To come to the theater?"asked Kunzite. "I have to admit that I usually enjoy the theater on Jupiter more."
"Oh, stop!"
Minako pretended to scold him with her fan.
"Makoto had better never hear you say that! We might probably never hear the end of it!"
"You're right, I mustn't say it. Because then I will never hear the end of it either."
