Light stood in front of the mirror in the room. She was wearing a light blue silk wedding gown with silver lace cuffs. She was also wearing a blood red ruby on a silver chain; a gift from Alcea.
Dina handed her a bouquet of pink roses. “Light, you look amazing.”
Light glared at her reflection, “I don’t care if I look ‘amazing’ or not, I am not getting married off to some stranger.”
Dina sighed, “I don’t think Alcea cares about what you want.”
Eran threw open the door and smiled brightly at Light, “Wedding time, miss demoness.”
Dina glared at him, “Do you mind?”
“No, I don’t.”
Dina pulled out a bar of chocolate from her jean pocket and threw it at him. “Get out. You’re unwanted here.”
Eran caught the chocolate bar and put on an offended expression, “Such a low blow Dina. I’m so hurt!” He took a bite of the chocolate.
Dina snarled at him. Eran smiled back.
Light, who’d been so diligently ignoring this argument, found this the perfect opportunity to ask Eran the question that’d been bothering her, “Why does Alcea want to marry me?”
Eran shrugged, “Maybe because of your charming personality?”
“She does have a wonderful personality...,” Sighed a deep voice from behind Eran.
Eran turned around to glare at Alcea. The ability to become undetectable to one’s own familiars was quite unnerving to Light and Dina but it seemed to irritate Eran instead.
Alcea walked past Eran without even giving him a glance. He reached for Light’s hands and kissed it. Alcea smiled slightly when he saw the necklace. “You wore it,” he whispered, “I was afraid that you wouldn’t like it.”
Alcea turned and clapped. A dozen demon-servants entered the room, each carrying a pair of shoes ranging from leather combat boots to diamond heels. Alcea turned back to Light, “Which one do you prefer?”
Light shook her head, “I need to talk to you.” She grabbed Alcea’s arm and steered him of the room. When Light was sure that she was far enough from the room she stopped.
