His Butler & Maid, The Duchess' Engagement Ball Part 2

Aurora was with Ilia and the other demon nobility. Mey-Rin was by her side, both of them with a glass of Morning Star Brand wine. Mey-Rin was sipping hers slowly, having seen how Bardory was the same morning. Ilia was babbling, "I can't wait! It's going to be an extravagant wedding!" Vermilla chuckled, "Extravagant yes. But nothing can beat Lord Prince Malphas and Lady Princess Angelica's wedding." Aurora was blushing now, "Well, I wouldn't say that." Ilia nodded, "True. But I'm still Desideriis! Malphas is my twin brother! He'll gladly make the wedding as perfect as I want it! The bride's family pays for the wedding does it not?" Aurora looked confused, "I wouldn't know. I never heard of it." Vermilla waved her hand, "Yours was spared no expense because you and Malphas are the first demon and angel union in millennia. Also he had the ear of Lucifer himself and you the ear of the Angelic Council." Aurora nodded, "That does make sense..." Vermilla went on, "Anyways, Even if Malphas pays or everything, it's up to you to make things perfect. The ceremony is the least important ultimately." Ilia frowned, "What do you mean?" Vermilla smirked, "My innocent little Ilia, the thing that matters is the mating process itself. The more passionate, the better." Aurora hummed in approval, "I will agree with that." Vermilla smirked, "Yes, your mating took quite a long time." Aurora blushed, "Yes! We enjoyed ourselves a little too much." Ilia sighed, "I can't wait for the ceremony. I just wish it would be sooner." Aurora and Vermilla shared a look, "When is the ceremony?" Aurora asked. Ilia hummed, "We haven't decided. Soon. Obviously."

A few hours later, Aurora ran into Malphas and gave a sigh of relief as he smiled and pulled her into a waltz. "You have no idea how much I've missed you." Malphas smirked at that and spun her around, "Have you now?" Aurora nodded, "Absolutely. I'm growing tired of hearing about how great Vapula is." Malphas chuckled, "As have I, darling. As have I." Aurora glanced around the full ball room. "Who are all of these demons? If I may ask." Her mate hummed, "They are nobility of Hell. And because it is my sister who is about to be mated, I won't be surprised if we see Lord Lucifer." Aurora smiled as he spun her around. "What of your mother? I haven't seen her about." Malphas nodded, "She is with Ilia, Ilia will be dressed more extravagantly than she was earlier, while it was strictly family when we saw her earlier, now she will be in the public eye. It is like a coming of age ceremony of sorts." Aurora nodded, "Yes... And her fiancé, do you know him?" Malphas sighed, "Regretfully. The Duke is not quite a high ranking demon." Aurora frowned, "But I thought in terms of nobility a duke outranked a lord?" Malphas nodded, "Somewhat. I have the title, Lord Prince Of Desideriis. Because my father is King and technically the owner of titles of Desideriis and Superbior, Stolas and I both have the titles Lord Prince because until father decides to pass down the title or simply retire." Aurora nodded, "That makes sense." Malphas smiled, "Besides, my current position allows me to form contracts whenever I wish. If I were Prince or King of  both Desideriis and Superbior, it would be much more difficult to get away. But as Lord Prince of Desideriis, it allows me some leeway." He pulled his mate into his arms and smiled seductively down at her, "Besides, if I were to become a higher rank than I already am, I might just wind up the King of all Hell, and that is something I most definitely don't want." There was a chuckle from behind them, "I must agree, Prince Malphas. You as King of Hell would mean the worst for me." They turned and Malphas smiled charmingly, "Ah, King Lucifer. Wonderful to see you again, my friend." Lucifer chuckled, "Likewise, Prince Malphas." he looked over at Aurora and bowed, "Lady Angelica. A pleasure as always." Aurora curtsied, "Likewise, your majesty." Lucifer laughed, "Come now! We've no need for such formalities! We are friends!" Malphas smirked, "Quite. How are you, Lucifer? It has been some time." Lucifer chuckled, "Oh the usual, stiff assed court duties and such. How is your contract? Still ongoing?" Malphas nodded, "Yes. Ongoing and growing more and more interesting by the day." Lucifer glanced over his shoulder at the sound of pitched laughter. Finny was chatting away with a few demons and having a good time by the hors d'oeuvres. "I can see that. Why all the humans?" Malphas sighed, "There were complications. It appears little Lord Phantomhive has a twin brother. Who has since taken over all of his assets and such." Lucifer chuckled, "You lucky, lucky demon. If we were not friends, I might demand you give me his soul. But as you are my favorite, you shall keep him. Malphas smiled, "Yes. Keep him I shall." Aurora with held a shudder. Lucifer hummed, "Anyways, I will leave you both to your own devices. I anticipate your public acceptance speech, Lord Prince Malphas Desideriis."
