Here comes the next chapter ^^
Since I'm on holidays now I can update more ^^ (yay ^^)
Enjoy :3
~ Previously ~
"This plan would only work if Sebastian hasn't claimed her yet. I have heard of the Third's beauty and I doubt any demon could resist the temptation to claim such beauty"
"That is why this plan would work. Unlike most demons Sebastian is a different kind of a crow. Though I would hate to admit it I have this strange confidence that he wouldn't claim her yet because he "loves" her" Claude said a smug smirk on his face.
"Then everything will go smoothly for you master" the lower demon said bowing.
"Make sure my preparations are perfect. I have just a single chance to make this work" Claude said narrowing his eyes…
~ Currently ~
Siera was surprised when she came to know that the other four had received and invitation for the ball too. She frowned as she combed her hair and curled the tips.
Sebastian entered the room and stared with awe at Siera when she stood and turned to him.
She looked absolutely stunning in her ankle length baby pink halter neck ball gown. It hugged her curves in the right places and attenuated her figure. She wore a simple pink necklace and earrings to match her outfit. Her back length hair was in waves on her shoulder and framed her face beautifully. She looked like a fragile yet tensile masterpiece: a sculpture made of diamond.
"You look beautiful" he whispered in her ear before stealing a quick kiss. She smiled her cheeks pink as she took in his appearance.
He wore a suit with a tie that matched her dress in color. He smiled and adjusted the tie a bit when he saw her checking her out,
"You don't look so bad yourself" she said giggling.
"Of course everyone must have high expectations of the Third's meito right? The Third's beauty is unmatched in the demon realm remember" he said chuckling.
She laughed melodically and he pulled her close.
"But I really don't feel like showing you to them now" he whispered in her ear. Her cheeks turned pink.
"Why so?" she asked wanting to tease him.
"Because you look too beautiful and that's something that only I want to see" he whispered.
He pulled her close and captured her lips in a deep kiss. She intertwined her fingers in his hair and kissed him back. He held her back gently and the two broke for air.
"You messed up my lip gloss again Sebastian" she said playfully pushing him away and reapplied her lip gloss.
"Well I wouldn't mind doing it again" he said chuckling. She stood up shaking her head.
"No you don't" she said playfully her cheeks pink.
She pushed him out of the room after taking a coat and wearing it above her dress.
The two walked hand in hand to the main hall hand in hand to see the other four waiting for them smiling.
"Finally the two lovebirds appear" Kayla said smirking at Siera's red face.
Samuel laughed heartily.
"Come on we have a ball waiting for us" he said adjusting his bowtie a smug smirk on his face. Kayla poked him in his ribs.
"Not to mention ladies" she said rolling her eyes. Samuel smirked.
"Is someone jealous?" he said his voice teasing. Kayla cheeks had a slight tint of pink and turned away refusing to answer. Samuel hugged her from behind.
"There might be a lot of them but you're the only one who caught my eye my lady" he whispered to her. Kayla pushed him away her cheeks pink and walked ahead.
"Come on all of you we'll be late for the ball" she said turning away from the others so that they won't see her smiling with her cheeks pink.
Siera, Kiki and Kimi had identical grins plastered on their faces as Samuel had a tint of pink on his cheeks.
"Nee san Papa is blushing" Kiki whispered in Siera's ear. She grinned and nodded.
"It will be fun to see how this turns out" Kimi whispered. Kiki and Siera nodded unable to muffle their chuckling.
-Few minutes later-
The six of them soon reached their destination. Unlike what they expected there were a lot of demons all dressed to impress present. As soon as the six of them entered the hall and murmurs started running through the crowd. The entire crowd paved a path in the center.
"Welcome to the congratulatory ball for the two of you" Claude said standing in the center a glass of wine in his hand.
"Why thank you" Sebastian said smirking and holding Siera's hand. She looked annoyed for some reason.
"Loosen up Siera. A lot of guests are waiting to see your smile" Sebastian whispered in her ear. She sighed and raised her head smiling brightly.
"Thank you for arranging this ball for us Claude. We were going to have one after the ceremony was over but I guess it's alright" she said smiling at him.
Though he was seething inside at seeing how intimate Sebastian and Siera were, Claude managed to keep a smile in place.
"Please enjoy the ball" he said bowing and smiling. Siera smiled back.
"Thank you"
Soon many young women stepped up and started talking to Kimi and Kiki. The boys were grinning sheepishly and the woman around instantly seemed to have lost their hearts to the two heart throbs.
Siera giggled as she watched the twins awkwardly smile at the mob of women around them.
"They seem to be enjoying themselves don't you think" Kayla said appearing next to her. Siera laughed.
"Very much so Mama" she said unable to control her giggling. The two of them laughed heartily at the plight of the twins.
Samuel had returned after taking a glass of wine to see Kayla and Siera standing together and laughing about something. Kayla looked astonishingly beautiful in his eyes. Her long silver gown flowed in waves around her. Her hair framed her face and had gentle curls at the tips. He had a soft smile on his face as he watched the two of them.
"Admiring Mother are we now Father?" Sebastian asked an amused smile on his face as he approached Samuel a glass of white wine in his hand. Samuel turned to him,
"Well I can't help myself she is too beautiful" he said grinning. Sebastian smirked.
"I must agree"
"Of course and Siera takes after her in her beauty" he said laughing heartily.
Claude looked at the six of them quite busy with others and distracted. He signaled to the demon serving drinks and nodded.
The demon bowed and walked towards Siera and Kayla two glasses on the tray. Claude smirked his plan going just as smoothly he planned.
"Come on Siera drink it" he silently willed her a smug smirk on his face.
The demon reached Siera and bowed.
"These drinks were sent over by a higher class demon for the ladies of the great five. Please accept them" he said bowing.
Siera whose thoughts were on the boys took the glass given to her without a second thought and nodded at the demon not sparing a second glance. Kayla did the same and the demon walked away bowing with the empty tray in his hands.
Seeing everyone was busy Claude immediately walked up to Siera an apologetic expression on his face.
Midway before drinking Siera stopped and stared at Claude standing guarded.
"Please don't be so uptight Siera. I apologize for everything I have done" he said bowing. Siera loosened up considerably her eyes wide.
"I-it's alright please stand straight Claude" she said looking surprised.
Kayla looked at the two of them in turns.
"Siera please excuse me" she said smiling.
"Be careful sweetheart" she whispered in her ear and left the two of them alone. Siera looked at her and nodded before turning to look at Claude.
"Siera I know you won't trust me completely but please do come with me I have something to show you" he said looking at her a sincere expression on his face.
Believing his facade Siera nodded smiling and went with him. Sebastian was busy talking to the other guests and didn't notice the exchange between the two.
Siera followed Claude and was awed at what she saw. A table for three was set up underneath a beautiful arch filled with her favorite red roses. There were red roses everywhere she turned to. The view stole her breath away.
"It's beautiful Claude" she whispered. Claude smiled and held out his hand,
"I set this up for us Siera" he said smiling
"Oh please finish your drink"
Siera drank the drink in her hand without second thought and gave her hand to Claude. He led her to the table and held her hand and tipped the last of the drink into her mouth.
Siera's eyes widened and she fell limp in Claude's arms. An evil smirk donned Claude's face. He looked at the unconscious beauty in his arms and he loomed over taking in her scent breathing deeply. His lips were barely an inch away from hers.
"You're so beautiful Siera…it took all my self-control to not take you the moment I saw you in your ball gown" he breathed in her ear. She had her eyes closed and knew nothing that was happening around her. Her arms fell limply at her sides.
He immediately started mumbling the spell for the potion to serve its purpose. A soft red glow surrounded the two of them…
-Meanwhile-
A bad vibe hit the other four and their eyes widened. Kiki and Kimi broke off from the crowd roughly and swiftly followed Samuel and Kayla.
Sebastian narrowed his eyes when he saw the four rushing together. He immediately followed the four of them.
"What's wrong" he asked Kiki. Kiki looked at him angrily,
"You messed up and now nee san is in danger. I shall take care of you once I know nee san is safe" he replied angrily and looked ahead.
"No Kiki it was my fault I left her alone with him and didn't inform anyone or keep an eye on her" Kayla said feeling a little guilty.
"Stop it now all of you. We'll talk after we know what happened" Samuel said a grim expression on his face.
Sebastian narrowed his eyes and tightened his fists
"Damn you Claude what have you done now?" he thought to himself as he ran behind the four of them…
