*Ruby stands up and she bows a little*
R: I thought that it would have been between us and few others...
*Whispers to Claude *
C:As it seems like Duke Dominic isn't here...
*Says as he looks around*
C:And i wouldn't really like to make that big announcement without him....maybe we could wait for him too.... let's eat though...
*Sits down and looks at Ruby*
C: You look stunning as always...but maybe another color fits you better...
R: Didn't know that i had to ask you about what should i wear...
C: Well it will be better if you do after will get married..
*Ruby looks at him*
R: I'm sorry but your taste in clothes is not the same as mine ...
C: Better if you'll talk less .... It would be a shame for our guests...
R: I have a better idea... I won't even stay here...
*Says as she gets up and starts walking away from the table *
*As she was about to climb the stairs and exit... someone grabbed her hand and stopped her . A man dressed in an elegant and classy way wearing a mask that was covering his face....*
D(Duke Dominic): I apologise miss , but i will feel offended if i won't get the chance to eat and talk with you for a while ...
*Claude stands up*
C:Duke Dominic ! What a pleasant surprise.....i didn't think that you will decide to cover your face with a mask.... please join us....
D:King Claude....you should never allow your future wife to leave a table without spending some pleasant time first....
*Ruby pulled her hand and turned to leave again*
C:Ruby...you know that there's no announcement without one of us...so maybe you should stay....
*Says in a way that sounds like a threaten *
R:That announcement is not a big deal anyways...
C:Excuse me ...? Can you repeat please i do not think I've heard correctly...
R: I'm pretty sure you've heard everything..
C: Ruby if i am not mistaken you were the one that agreed to marry me...
R:And i think i have the right to take it back...
C: Oh no i think you're mistaken...
*Says and grabs her arm*
*Duke Dominic grabs gently Claude's hand forcing him to stop treating Ruby like that. He then takes Claude's hand away from Ruby's arm*
D: I think that there isn't any problem... And if i remember correctly you already have some wifes Claude....
*Claude is looking at Ruby*
C:Sure... let's just calm down ... I'm sure you said that because you were mad Ruby...
let's just .. Orchestra play some music!
*As he is about to ask Ruby to dance with him..Duke Dominic leans forward asking Ruby's hand to have a dance with him.
Ruby looks at Claude and chooses to dance with Duke Dominic, as she already knew that Claude wanted to dance with her first*
C: This girl..will regret it...(whispers to himself)
*As they are walking to the dance floor*
R: I'd like to thank you
D: There's no reason to thank me
R:Well without your help , Claude wouldn't let my hand without forcing me to hit him...
D: Claude tends to behave like that ... Should i accompany you somewhere?
R:I don't think Claude will let me get out of here before he tells me to
D:Then i wouldn't mind dancing with you for a while...
*Ruby placed her hands to his hands and they started dancing*
R: May i ask the reason you're wearing a mask ? I mean that noone else wears a mask ..
D: I wanted to look a bit different today...
R:(The way he smells reminds me of someone... but can't remember clearly)
I understand....
*Ruby starts observing him a little more, as she does that , Duke Dominic seems to feel a bit uncomfortable*
R: Duke Dominic.... How long do you and Claude know each other?
D: Please call me Dominic.. i know Claude quite long time....what about you?
R: Me too...(says as she looks at his eyes behind the mask)
*Dominic then looks away...*
R(Blue eyes...)May i ask you something?
D: You may..
R: Does it happen to know anything about Ruber imperium..?
D: Well that Kingdom doesn't exist anymore....it used to be one of the most dangerous kingdoms 2000 years before....they were using many potions and gems...to control other Empires... until Queen Aurora created a more powerful stone.... using her own magic..
R: How do you know about this ..?
D:I just have read and heard a lot...
R: Maybe you also know why does it sound like my name?
D: Not really ...but maybe if you search for it...you might find out
R:You mentioned that you know Claude for quite long time.....does it happen to know where he is going everyday?
D: Claude is planning to steal Irelia's chance and go to Aurora's kingdom first...
~Meanwhile~
C: When I'll give you my sign then be prepared to catch him...
S: Yes sir....but are you sure about him?
C: Pretty sure... Dominic would never wear a mask...and secondly he never dances...
S: Alright sir..
*Says and leaves*
R: How comes you know his plans...?
D: let's say that i can predict his moves...
*He takes a few glances around the room, and sees Claude to nod to a soldier*
D: I assume that you can fight as well right?
*A few soldiers are approaching in a distinctive way , getting ready to pull their swords and kill Dominic*
R: I've been practicing, but why this question?
*Says and turns to look behind her , where Dominic was looking earlier*
R: what are you look-
*Dominic has disappeared*
*Ruby is now searching for him between the people, but doesn't seem to be somewhere, she then decides to leave the room . As she closes the door , behind her someone was leaning next to it*
D:Miss Ruby , i wasn't expecting you to be a fan of me and follow me everywhere i go
R:I have to admit that I'm flattered by the way you treat me ...
* She's moving closer to him *
R: Though you should have choose a different perfume to wear...they might confuse you with Alucard ...or maybe...
*She takes his mask off*
R:As i thought.... noone else could have the same fragrance
