Around the round table sat four demons, one of them still wearing his tailcoat and heavily polished shoes. His hair was held back by a golden band and he was sipping a glass of red wine. "When will that human girl come here?" A demon that looked a lot like the butler asked. He had light hair and purple eyes, his features very similar to those from the butler. Alden took another sip, his eyes hinting to his demonish pink colour for a short moment.
"Soon," he spoke softly, "very soon."
A female demon leaned back in her chair and looked at the two brothers. "That is not what we want to know. We need a specific time. A date." The French accent dripped from her voice and made it sound elegant and rich. Her hair was a light shade of brown and her eyes an electric blue. Her lips were plump and her cheekbones defined. She looked to be a little bit overweight, but somehow that made her even more appealing.
"Fine, Victoire. January the second is the day she will be coming." Alden leaned back in his big leather chair and looked sharply at the wife from his brother. It became silent in the huge room for a few seconds.
The fourth demon that sat around the table was a tall woman. Her skin was a brown colour. It complimented her dark grey eyes and plump red lips. Her lashes were long and and her hair curly. It waved around her face like forest made of black trees. Her features were gentle and soft, giving her a kind and friendly look. She looked to be around twenty-five. She was the one to break the silence. "Then I think we have talked about everything that we needed to. Everyone can leave now." She stood up and turned around. As she walked away her golden dress flowed behind her elegantly. The room she left behind kept quiet, no one moved a muscle in the next five seconds. Then everyone stood up from the table, leaving their wine glasses all with a little bit of wine left in them, gave eachother a nod and marched away, all in different directions.
The blonde butler walked into a long hallway decorated with beautiful paintings of the royal family. He had to hurry back to the [L/N] estate before his mistress would wake up. He checked his golden watch. 5:30 AM. He would have to hurry. It was an hour to the mansion and then he had to make the tea and wake Lady [Y/N] up at 7 o'clock.
Alden quickened his pace, making his way to the grand door in high speed. His long legs too long strides. He kept checking his watch. The demon was afraid to leave his mistress alone at the house for too long. Although he knew that you had high ability to protect yourself, he knew that one of those demon butlers or reapers would come by you would be overpowered in only seconds. With that thought filled with worry he started his journey back to the mansion.

You glanced at the date in your agenda. Nothing was written underneath the swirly letters that wrote out 'December the 20th'. It would be Christmas very soon and you still had not decided what you wanted to do for it. Somehow you didn't want to spend this year the same as the others: playing chess infront of the big fireplace with Mary. Mary had asked you if she could go visit some of her friends. Of course you approved. It wasn't your place to say she couldn't be with the ones she wanted during that spectacular holiday. So this Christmas you had to decide what you should do. Maybe you would just drink some tea, have a walk and then just relax by the fireplace.
You looked up at a small knock on your door. "Come in." You mumbled in a low voice. The door opened and your butler stepped into the room with two letters in his hands. You saw that his hair was still pulled back, but decided to not say anything about it.
Alden made his wat to your desk with long strides. He placed the letters infront of you.
"There are two letters for you." He spoke before immediately turning around and leaving, closing the door behind him.
You looked down at the letters. Both were decorated quite nicely. One with grey swirls and black letters, the other with black swirls and black letters. You picked up the first one with the grey swirls. Your name was written on it and it was sealed with grey wax. You swiftly opened it up. It only took seconds to realise who the sender was. Your eyes had already scanned to the bottem part of the letter. Forever yours, Daichi. The young boy had written the letter himself. You recognized his handwriting by the quickly written sentences and messy spots he had made by writing with his left hand. It put a small smile on your face.
Soon you started reading it.
"Dear [Y/N],
Many times before have I asked you this, but the answer always is the same. However, that doesn't stop me from trying this year again. It would break my heart if you would yet again reject my invitation on such a rude way, but that doesn't stop me from asking the only girl I can ever truely love to spend Christmas with me. So, [Y/N], I would love it if you would spend this Christmas with me. It would be an honor to have you visit my estate. From the moment I take my pen of this paper I will be patiently waiting for your response. I hope you can find time in your busy schedule to write me back.
Forever yours, Daichi."
His words were filled with love and maybe even a little bit of mock to your habit of late responding.
You picked up the second one, opening it without a second glance. This time you started reading immediately, not minding to scan your eyes over it first.
"Dear Lady [Y/N],
Hereby you are invited to the yearly Trancy Christmas Ball. It will be held at the Trancy estate during the first day of Christmas. Try to get a little bit in the Christmas mood by wearing Christmas clothing. You will be expected around 09:00 PM. We will be waiting for you.
Yours sincerely, Alois Trancy."
The Trancy invitation was a lot different from all the other invitations you had gotten throughout you life. It was a bit more demanding and straight to the point, which you somehow enjoyed reading. You leaned back in your big chair. Now you only had to decide which of the two to go to.
