"Can't be any more hated than I already am." She shrugged, thinking about a way to capture the angels. "What if we used me as bait.?"


(So I was thinking what if Jessebelle got kidnapped again, buttttttt Neil managed to capture one of the lesser angels on the mission?)

"Are you sure you want to do that, mistress?" Neil asked. He thought it might work but she'd be in danger of being harmed again.


(Sounds good to me.)

"There'll be others at the party, someone would notice if I get kidnapped if I stayed in sight of at least one person from the party." She tried reasoning, it was more to assure herself then to assure Neil though.

(Ok, I was thinking something along the lines of having the angels pose as one of Neil's childhood friends. They could slip something into Jessebelle's drink and make an excuse to take her back to her room, but the lesser angel didn't know the plan so he tries to stop the other angel (Jessebelle is out of it at this point, still there but unable to do anything.) and gets knocked out by him where Neil finds him when he goes to check on Jessbelle. Sound good?)

"Alright. I think this plan should work. Anyways you do know what to do at events like this right? I didn't the first time I was at one and I got a serious scolding." Neil asked, curious if she had ever been to a formal dance before.


(Sounds good to me. And then they'll be framed for her disappearance?)

"Not one clue." Jessebelle laughed, sticking her tongue out at him.


(Ok, Jessbelle's father could assign someone else to look after her as well because Neil has to make sure the magical barriers around the palace are ok so Neil doesn't take all the blame.)

(No by they I meant Neil and the childhood angel friend person.)


"Well I guess as one of the guests of honor you converse, dance with suitors, and have a good time. I kind of wish I could dance with you but I think I'm on magic barrier duty." Neil explained.

(Oh tru. Ok we will go with that. )

"That sucks, If you get the time I'll try to save a dance for you." She poked him hard in the shoulder, unwilling to admit to herself that she was falling in love with him.

Neils face turned bright red. He was falling in love with her too but knew it wasn't allowed considering his status in the castle. "Thank you mistress. I am truly grateful you'd do such a few thing for a servant such as myself. However you should look for your future husband at this ball. that's one of the points of this event I've heard. You give a rose to the man you choose at the end of the night." He said.

"Do I have to do it THIS ball, I mean, it's my very first and how am I supposed to marry someone I've never met?" She tried complaining, getting a little tired of it already. "And it's really no problem Neil, you saved my life already."

Neil tried to remember the rules of this event. "I think that's what you have to do. meet all of your suitors. Although I know a lot of info on everyone so you can ask me."

"Ok, then I want a file on every suitor that will be at the ball. Well every suitor in my age range." She laughed, poking him in the shoulder again.

"You got a pen and paper? I can do it right now." Neil asked.

"So magical man over here doesn't have paper." She motioned to the air around them, still full of snowflakes. "You can make snow, but not paper and a pen." Laughing, she laid back in the snow.

"I thought I would make it easy on myself and just use one I already had near me. Unless you want me to do a mind transfer but then we're able to read each others memories during the process. And sort of experience them." Neil explained.

Thinking of how terrible of an idea that would be, Jessebelle got up and searched the drawers of her night table for a pen and some paper. Eventually finding some, she returned to Neil and handed him the materials. "Sorry for the rudeness, but there are some things I'd rather keep to myself."

"Same here." Neil said as he wrote down all of the information he knew on the suitors.

Smiling slightly, Jessebelle watched him put down name after name and write info on each. "So, are you on the list?"

Neil blushed again and shook his head no. "No ma'am. I am simply your butler. It would be unheard of for me to put myself on the list. Your father wouldn't allow it and make you marry someone else on this list." He said, passing her the notebook.

Reading down the list after he gave it to her, she saw exactly the kind of people she didn't want to meet or marry. "Ugh, isn't there anyone decent on this list that isn't rich and or snobby?" She mumbled, reading it thoroughly.

Neil shook his head no. "I'm afraid not, mistress." He apologized. He would put his own name on the list. But once again it would be against his morals.
