The Grand Duchess smiled at Valentine. "Welcome, Ambassador. It is a pleasure to meet you." She curtsied herself and looked to Arianna.
"It is a pleasure to meet you as well, Lady Arianna. I am very pleased to meet such lovely ladies in the employ of the royal lands of Hell itself. I trust that you both are well?"
Vetli smiled and bowed to both ladies and Ciel. A grand eve to you both, and to you as well Lady Ciel. It is a great honor to see you.

Ciel smiled and curtsied to Regent and the Lady and the Professor. She could handle this. Everyone else seemed to be meeting for the first time and she knew the rounds.
Finally, she was comfortable for a change. Even though she was all dolled up and gussied up.

Regent smiles to his guests and nods to Ciel. "I see our little canary has learned to fly solo... " He approaches her to take her hand. "What have we here? Ambasssador Valentine Le'Noir I presume... I see the wise and honorable Leccubi council has wasted no time returning an official representative to the Capital. I presume you shall be the voice of the council to be heard in my ears and retain your peoples due presence in the affairs of the Empire... Welcome... I am the Regent of Darkness at your service. How fare you this fine evening?" he says with soft voice and a slight bow to the succubus ambassador.

"Quite well, Your Honored Grace. It has already been a very informative evening, I have learned a great deal about city life already. I do hope that Lady Trakand has not presented me at a difficult time for you. I know you are very busy overseeing the festivities" Valentine drops into a very low, very graceful curtsy before Regent.

Ciel smiled at Regent and nodded. She was keeping quiet for fear of blurting out just how uncomfortable she was in this get-up and with all of these eyes on her and how she wouldn't be able to relax until she was back in her rooms and in her normal clothes.
Not only that, but she wanted to make sure not to show anyone that she truly felt out of place with everyone. That was a secret that needed to stay hidden, for really good reasons.

Tre'Maya smiled and shook her head a bit. You could not have come at a better time than now, Ambassador. As the festivities have yet to truly begin, you and the Lady Arianna will have quite good seats for the true spectacle of tonight's goings-on.
She turned to Vetli. Professor, if you would be so kind as to retrieve our seats... when all is said and done, we will wish a seat.
Vetli nodded. Yes milady. He scuttled off to do just that as Tre'Maya turned to them all.
Now, just for the sake of the evening going smoothly and running on time, so as our honored nobility does not suffer from ennui too early, shall we start the gala? I would not wish to keep our lovely ladies standing on their dainty shoes for an extended period unless absolutely necessary. Looking at Ciel she smiled.
She knew the DevilCat was uncomfortable. She could feel it. Putting a hand on Ciel's back to comfort her, she smiled at the Regent. If such is your will, Chancellor.

Lysandor returns to his post, but keeps an eye on the area Thane was posted at, doing what the Rachet had requested.

The Marquis allows himself to be swallowed by the crowd for a moment, fading in the background. He watches the various nobles mingle, some for information, some for gossip, and a very small few to perpetuate some of the many plots he set them out for. Not that they would ever realize that was what they were doing, of course.
Illyon contents himself to sip quietly at his bloodwine before rejoining the glittering, darkling throng.

Thane bows to Regent then to the Ladies. "By your leave Chancellor, I must return to my post." then the hound looks to Tre'Maya, Squeezes her paw softly and turns to leave out the back door.

The anthem softens as the song ends and the silence is noticeable. the crowd outside gathers around the iron fence around the islands gazebo as they wait in wonder to what Regent has in store for them. The curtain begins to lift as the demons on stage begin to mummer softly at first. The volume raises till the throbbing humming sound is hypnotizing and very loud. The curtain begins to open wide as it is time for Regent to make his entrance before all.
A tug on Illion's pant leg is almost startling as the demonling caterer looks to him like there is a serious problem, he squawks to him calmly but urgently, "Begging your Pardon, Marquis, there is a -situation- with the -cart- that requires your combustibles expertise... sir..."

Arianna smiles and curtsies to her newly met acquaintances she offers greetings to all but remains guarded as so many new presences make her uncomfortable in her own skin.
"If it is the chancellors wish, a seat with a view would be lovely."
Arianna prepares to follow the others to their arranged seating.

Regent smiles at his new guests and he turns toward the stage. "Seats in the front row are reserved for my personal guests please use those as I need you all close by for introductions."
At that he spins round and stands before the curtain as it opens. He waits for his guest to be seated as lights of electric sparks, bursts of fire, blasts of water and shimmering sands of various shapes and sizes begin to spill forth from him and span out over the crowd in wide streams. The darkness flows forth from him as the dark power meshes with the elements and orchestrates them to form wonderful displays of hells past in waves and color and the show starts from the conception of the underworld and quickly advances through the dynasties and continues up to the time of the Queen and her untimely exile from hell.

Illyon looks down at the little Demonling with an irritated look, which turns into something far more stern and annoyed when he gets the messege.
"Indeed?" he asks with a slight sneer, his voice pitched low. He puts the half-empty glass of bloodwine on a passing platter carried by another caterer and turns back to the Demonling. "Lead the way, then, and let's see what damage has been wrought."

Valentine tilts her head to hide her small smile at the Grand Duchess sensitivity to the young devilcat's predicament.
"A seat would be appreciated." She murmurs softly.

Thane trots back to Lysandor to relieve him of his additional watch. "Thank you for looking after things for me... did I miss anything interesting?"

Tre'Maya smiled as Thane squeezed her hand and left. She looked to her charges and her smile was small, but there. Vetli came back, wings fluttering as he bowed his head to them.
My ladies, your seats are waiting for you. He waited and Tre'Maya nodded for him to lead the way.
She begins to lead them all in the direction Vetli was fluttering and quickly showed them their seats before the curtain opened.
She whispered to them all, more for Ciel's benefit. Relax, my ladies. This will not hurt anyone, they are mere introductions.

Ciel tries to relax as she's seated. She can't help but feel stupid in her dress, shoes and accouterments. She twists to try and relieve the tightness she feels everywhere...something does not feel right and it isn't just the lack of her normal attire.
She settles for looking out when the curtain opens and searching for the slime she tried so hard to take her leave from earlier, and to no great surprise, she cannot see anything but his back as he saunters off someplace.
She tries not to look like she really doesn't belong and turns her eyes to the Chancellor. Perhaps if she paid attention to him, she could stop worrying about Illyon's slippery personage.

Thane shakes his furry head 'no'. "I prefer to keep that at a fair distance to avoid that slippery slope." He groans thinking about it. His eyes return to his vigil of the night and then wander to the stage where Regent is making his show.
