Hang on hang on hannnnggg on!.... when did claude spill a drink on someone?! I think we should back it up a little bit and see just what these demons have done... -Lucius: Can't you just get on with our plan-... Stop trying to take over my narrative!! Ugh, anyway let's see what that spider did.

Claude's POV

hmm... where is this decoy...

"Claude!"

My lord said in a forced whisper. I walked to him as he stood with a rather large drink in his hand looking impatient as always.

"Yes your highness?"

"Where is the girl im suppose to spill this on?"

"Patience lord.. she will be entering in just a moment with one of the triplets."

"The first triplet is going to rip her dress yes?"

"Of course... ah here she comes.."

Narration: A young woman is walking down the hall crying as her dress had been ruined by a drunk at the entrance. A young man was helping her to a bathroom and entered the ballroom. "Oh no i can't be seen like this..."

Claude:

"now your highness..."

I watched as my young lord walked towards her acting aimless and then feigned being bumped into her spilling the drink into her face and then all over her dress. A dark red wine stained her white dress and ruined her makeup..

"Oh dear lord above... my lady i am so so sorry... um um.. Claude!"

I walked over quickly and acted sympathetic for the young woman's plight.

"Oh no what has happened?"

"My dress is ruined!! I'm a complete wreck! now what do i do.... *cries*"

Alois gently held her shoulder trying to console her as he offered a small napkin.

"Oh no... please allow my butler to assist you. I bought a dress for Lady Jade but i'm sure she would understand if i allow you to wear it."

"W...what... no my lord you can't be serious.... i could never take a gift from the lady phantomhive."

"Please i insist.. i'll take her for brunch instead.. Claude please take this woman to the powder room and help her look radiant..."

"As you wish your highness."

I guided the poor shivering girl through the hall and to a powder room. I withdrew the copy dress from the birthday bag and then held up a small towel to her before stepping to the door.

"Please knock when you finish dressing, i will assist you in makeup next.."

"thank you you're too kind..."

The triplets stood before me outside the door and I couldnt help but smile, two of them were dressed as waiters for the party while the third was dressed as the woman's date.

"Remember, you must keep Jade away from this woman until you see the signal from Sebastian. I want eyes on this woman at all times. She must be chosen by Phantomhive.. and you.."

I pointed to one of the waiter disguised triplets and handed him a small baggy of powder.

"Get this to Ciel at once... slip it in his punch."

The triplet left quickly with the other and returned to the party. A soft knock emitted and I re-entered the room to help her makeup. I fixed her hair similar to Jade's and adorned a similar mask smiling at her.
