"You can do this Elizabeth!" Aveline said while she finished the braid in my hair.

"Wait. What am I doing?" I tugged at the laces of my corset.

"Going with Edward to a ball and you have to seduce the Lord into giving you secrets." If I had water in my mouth I would've spit it out.

"I'M LIKE SIXTEEN I DON'T FEEL COMFY SEDUCING PEOPLE!" Aveline grabbed my shoulders. "Whatever I'll do it. Next mission's yours."

"Also don't act like a bear. Not attractive. Mei did get your dress ready. It's in room." Aveline pointed her finger towards he door.

"Getting rid of me so soon? I might need help slipping into the dress." She snapped her fingers. "Fine I'm leaving. Gosh."

I walked down what seemed like an endless hallway of doors towards the stairs and walked up that towards my room. Which is at the third story of the house. So many stairs. But it was all worth it. The dress was so pretty!

It consist of a grey skirt and long sleeve top, with a blue jacket, and a red scarf draped over the whole thing. I can't leave shoes out can't I, well it was black flats that's basically it. I thought it was cute!

"I forgot one thing... the Lord is married to Lady Diavolo. Don't try anything with him if she's around! She has a short temper!" Aveline poked her head through the crack in my door. "She's also Italian. I think." Then, she was gone.

"Elizabeth, May I come in?" Great, Macie.

"Sure." I said in a dull tone.

"Are you excited fir your first mission as an assassin?" She tugged at her silver dress as she walked in.

"I was a templar. It sucked. So, sure why not." I shrugged my shoulders.

"You leave in ten minutes. Edward's downstairs." That's the nicest she's ever been. To anyone. I still can't believe she's a lady. How? "You might want to leave now. Wait!" She walked over and placed a crimson flower in my braid. "Finishing touch"

I gently pushed her out the way, earning a growl, climbed down the stairs, and saw Edward wearing his least favorite clothing. It was funny watching him tug at his collar.

"Ready?" He asked.

"Ready."

(Party)

"Go get acquainted with him. I'll draw away Diavolo." Edward whispered.

I sped walked through the crowd. Well, more like Edward did cause I was clinged to his arm. To the host and hostess. Looking more like demons than elegant.

"You two must be?" The Lord strutted our way with Diavolo clung to him.

"Edward and this here is Elizabeth." The Lord took my hand and placed a kiss on it.

"Pleasure. I'm Benedict and this is my lovely wife Diavolo." Edward did the same to Diavolo as what Benedict did to me. Gross.

Violins started a song at the right timing and Edward took this as an advantage.

"May I have this dance?" Diavolo placed her hand in his and they made their way to the floor.

"Would you like to accompany me to the gardens?" I guess I have to.

(Gardens)

"That's not true." Benedict laughed.

"It is! You should've seen Lightning's face after he was pushed into the river. Priceless." I laughed along.

This bonding thing isn't going to bad. If Edward can get a few more dances in then I'll get everything I need. Hopefully he can survive that long.

"You're way better than my wife to be honest. We haven't been having a good relationship. Do you and Edward have a thing going on?" He started into my eyes.

"No, just really good friends. He's dating." I lied. "He wanted to take me to one last party before he got married." I once again lied.

"I thought you did." I thought we did to at a time.

"Anyway, why did you marry Diavolo. If you didn't love her?" I asked.

"Forced marriage. I want to show you something." He tugged my arm and I was forced to follow. "I've never shown anyone. Not even my wife!" Must be good. I could be wrong.

(Secret underground thingmabob)

Information I need everywhere! Awesome! I might've snuck a paper or two in my pocket.

"I must go. Diavolo probably hopping mad." Benedict grabbed my arm and we ran up flights of stairs.

Nope he was wrong. Edward got her drunk and left her in a chair.

"Huh." That's all I could manage to say.

"Elizabeth there you are. We must go." Edward groaned my hand.

"Shall I see you at my next event?" I don't know about that, Benedict.

…

"Diavolo was in your dream?" Light raised her upper lip.

"Yeah." I repiled.

"That girl kinda scares me. With her red hair and Amber eyes. She's so incredibly pale." Edward shivered.

I'd like to give shout out to...

ACgirlof-the-past for the use of Diavolo.
