She found Hermes at the balcony with Mikasa his assistant. Mikasa was good looking though she didn't understand why there was a female Archangel and Hermes wasn't telling her any information.
He smiled when he saw her and signalled Mikasa to give them privacy. She bowed at Celestia in respect and left them but not entirely. She made sure to be around incase something happened to the two.
"I have something to ask you." He pulled her to a seat beside them."I knew you have many things to ask me, so I came because of you." She chuckled at this comment.
"Are you responsible for the letters I have been receiving lately?" She asked.
"Am afraid I have no idea about that. Letters?" He stared at her confused. She sighed warily. "Yes I have been receiving a lot of those these days it's becoming a worry. I asked Mael to take care of it."
He placed a finger on her lips. "I already know who it is but I won't tell you." He interrupted her enjoying the look she gave him.
"Find out and tell me. Also, be careful with the people you hang around with. They present themselves in false masks, but do not believe everything you see." He smiled poking her nose affectionately.
She wanted to ask what he meant but the shaking of his head stopped her from doing so." You will understand when the time comes."He said once again.
She gave up when she got no clue from him." Ill escort you down as your good friend. "He gave her a wide smile. She felt light from sharing her troubles with him but had a feeling she was close to solving the mystery.
Celestia together with her friends sat together at one table talking about their daily lives. A grin was plastered on her face however, it was short lived when the High Class Demons arrived.
She felt their presence choking. The place immediately became quiet. "Dont worry your brother will be back soon." Hermes pat her back in an attempt to comfort her.
Their leader, Tholgos stood grinning in front. Ignoring the glances he got, he walked straight to Celestia. She stiffened when he came closer to her.
He hadn't changed one bit. He still had a blonde hair with his piercing green eyes. The tattoo on the side of his left eye was visible as usual. "Let's now welcome the High Class Demons and Tholgos has also graced as with his presence." The host announced to the silent crowd.
The was a round of applause for them as they were welcomed. Celestia on the other hand shifted close to Hermes.
Tholgos noticed the discomfort in her gaze. She hadn't changed since he last saw her. He had to admit their friendship was a bit rocky because of what transpired between the two. It was partially his fault and her brother's as well.
She turned her head away from him. and prayed for him to disappear. "Long time no see Cece." He said to her. She ignored him and he wasn't surprised.
"I see you've made some friends." He continued watching the group on the table. She stood up and Mael and Hermes followed her actions. She signaled them to sit. She didn't want anyone in her mess.
"How many times have I told you to stop calling me that?Why you even here? I made it clear that you should keep your distance. "She said bitterly.
" The issue was between your brother and I. "He said nonchalantly earning a disbelieved look form her. At the mention of this, the rest were interested in their conversation.
" You are unbelievable. I'm done with you. "She said moving but he blocked her. Mael, seeing the confusion, stood up and pushed her behind him." Move aside angel. "He commanded Mael with a deadly tone.
She felt the anger radiating from him and gave Mael a tug." Mael,move aside or else there will be trouble. "She whispered in his ear. He glanced at the Demon before him, gave him a disgusted look before glancing at her worried expression.
He was about moving when the host gave a brief announcement." Everyone get a partner! " From the corner of her eye, she saw Eros wink. She whispered a silent thank you to him.
Hermes sat comfortably whilst the others were on the floor. "I think that you need to loosen up a bit." He pushed Celestia in Mael's arms who caught her before she lost her balance. Hermes turned and gave Tholgos a victory smirk and turned his attention to the lovely pair in front of him.
"You two make a lovely couple." he smiled. Mael stood with a speechless Celestia in his arms. She immediately stepped away from his embrace folding her arms.
"I'm sorry about that. You find another partner I'll just sit." She looked around for empty seats. Mael frowned behind his mask. Doesn't she want to dance with me? He thought inwardly.
He was envious of the way Hermes comforted her at the table. He wasn't the right person to do that and he wasn't complaining." But he is watching us." He said referring to Tholgos. She looked back and noticed his hostile gaze on them-he wasn't entirely pleased with the sudden turn of events.
Mael ignored the demon's gaze and stretched his hand toward her. She had a conflicting look and after a long time of deliberation, she placed hers in his. He pulled her close to him and wrapped his arm around her slender waist.
Everything just felt right. She placed her other arm on his torso and her chin on his shoulder. They waltzed on the floor and the rhythm of the the song was slow. Mael occasionally twirled her in the course of dancing.
"I didn't know you were a good dancer." She giggled. Mael twirled her to face him and stared at her. He pulled her back into his chest and took hold of her waist. "It's a full class where I come from."
She rose her brow interested in the topic. "I see. Tell me about yourself, it's not right on have no clue about you." He nodded in agreement. He barely told her anything and vice-versa.
"I agree with you on that but you'll have to tell me about you. You can call it fair trade." She laughed lightly at what he implied.
"Tholgos was my brother's best friend but because of a controversy between them, they ended their relationship. "She said.
" I see that's fair. "She looked at him expectantly." My information is strictly confidential but I'll save you the benefit of the doubt and tell you my eye colour. "He said.
" It's emerald blue with sparkles in it. It changes colours to shades of blue when I use my power or show strong emotions." She tried imaging the picture.
" But why don't you Archangels show your face? I don't understand. "She asked him.
" Im sorry that's a question I can't answer. "She was even more confused. He wasn't helping her at all.
" It's time to change partners."She was taken by an arm and pulled into a firm chest.
" I finally got you,Cece."A voice said to her .
