Barbatos's heart

Part 4: Welcome Party

It was time for the party. The brothers all met in the entryway to go to the castle together when Asmo came to the steps. "And now, the moment you've all been waiting for!" He started to announce. "Oi, shut it, no one cares about how you look" Mammon interrupted. "Not me, you idiot! Not this time anyway... Not that I don't look amaaazing. No, no. I'm talking about this beauty!" He gestured to Elaina, who came into view at the top of the stairs. Everyone looked at her in awe, as Asmo joined the other brothers smiling ear to ear at his work. She looked stunning. Asmo decided to style her hair down, with long luscious curls framing her gorgeous face. Her makeup had a natural look. Even Asmo knew she didn't need much if any. Although what he did was truly an art form, enhancing her natural features.

"You look beautiful, Elaina, really". Lucifer said as he ascended the stairs and took Elaina's hand to lead her down. "Thank you, Luci." She smiled brightly at her cousin. "I'm excited" she added. "It will be a night to remember, that's for sure. Diavolo throws the most amazing parties," Lucifer stated. As they all went to the cars and made their way to the castle.

Diavolo's castle was exquisite! They were led to a big ballroom with golden walls and plenty of beautiful art. Guests were chatting and dancing all around. Tables were set around the dance floor and there was a big stage facing everyone with the orchestra playing light classical music. Diavolo approached in his demon form. He looked great with his rich red hair and black horns with golden points. He was shirtless with big black bat wing with the same golden points as his horns. 'Goodness he was handsome.' Elaina thought. "Good evening! Welcome to my home!" He exclaimed taking Elaina's hand and kissing it lightly. "Thank you, Lord Diavolo." She blushed. "Please! Eat, drink, be merry! Have a great time! Mingle." Lord Diavolo said before walking over to Lucifer. He placed his hand on his shoulder and whispered something into his ear. Lucifer let out a small chuckle and they both disappeared into the crowd.

"Hey! Elaina! Look!" Beel cried out looking at the mounds of food on various tables around the room. She recognized some of them. The food she was used to was from the Celestial Realm. There was a table full of it. The other tables contained food from the Demon and Human Realms as well. Beel was drooling and his stomach was growling but he was stopped by Lucifer. Elaina just laughed at her goliath cousin's disappointment.

The night went on and everyone was doing their own thing. Beel was drooling over the food he was told not to touch yet, Belphie disappeared (probably to sleep somewhere), Levi also disappeared but was active in his D.D.D. Asmo was out on the dance floor flirting with multiple dance partners. Elaina was standing in the corner talking to Simeon when Diavolo approached her "Would you care to dance? He asked "Yes, I would love to. Thank you". They danced around the ballroom talking. He asked her about her interests and asked if she had any talents "She has a fantastic voice. An amazing singer". It was Lucifer coming to Diavolo's side. "Really??" Diavolo beamed. "I'd love to hear you sing! I can make some arrangements with the orchestra! Oh, if it's alright with you of course. I dont mean to intrude". Elaina was a little caught off guard and nervous but agreed to sing. She and Diavolo spoke to the maestro, it turned out he was quite well-rounded in music and knew a few pieces from the Celestial Realm. Diavolo walked up to the stage "Alright everyone. Take your seats, please. We have a very special performance tonight. From the Celestial Realm, one of our newest exchange students Elaina!" Elaina walked up toward the stage "The stage is yours princess" Diavolo whispered in her ear. She took a deep breath before stepping on the stage to see everyone staring.
