Standing in front of Jahi, I continued to pull on her undershirt, making sure it fit snugly and wasn't wrinkled.

The tall Demoness watched me work with a small smile, her eyes warm.

However, as much as I wanted to revel in her loving stare, I had to get her ready and then get the other two ready; I had too much to do this morning.

Straightening the shirt, I started tying the tie on her neck, making sure it was evenly tied and that the collar was even as well.

Once her tie was on and collar straight, I carefully lifted up the custom jacket we had tailored for her.

With her help I started fastening the buttons, links, and smoothing it out.

Soon enough a rather sharp looking pale blue woman stood before me, her suit giving her a serious, reliable look, like a senior manager at any office job.

Moving towards the small jewelry box, I lifted out the golden pocket watch and chain, swiftly attaching them to her suit and slipping it into her pocket.

Next was a signet ring, the symbol of March Asmodia embossed on the front.

Slipping it on her left pointer finger, I then lifted out the two dangle earrings, handing them to her.

She attached them both to her right ear, finishing her look.

Giving her another once over, I nodded as she stood before me, her serious expression matching well with the subdued, yet wealthy look.

Jahi walked towards a mirror, admiring her reflection.

"Looks great Kat!"

Slipping behind her, I gave her a deep curtsy and said "Thank you Mistress... Now, if you'll excuse me..."

Giving me a nod, Jahi watched as I made my way to the next room; Leone's.

The curvy Vampire was in her grey undergarments, making sure everything was secure before jumping as I knocked on her door.

Seeing me, she blushed before looking at the dress hanging on her door, a smile appearing on her lips.

The dark ash grey runic cloth dress was truly a lavish display, but...

Lifting it, I set about getting it on the Vampiric Princess, tightening some parts, fluffing others, and tying some parts down.

The Labradorite gleamed in the dim light of her room, and I could already imagine how much they would shine in the bright lights of the banquet hall.

Next was her hair; I had gone over this with Leone before, and so I straightened it and then gently placed her solid gold tiara on her head, nestling it inside her ashen hair.

Her entire color scheme was gray and gold, and the collar on her neck matched her hair perfectly, as did the golden symbol of March Asmodia dangling from the front.

Once she was fully dressed and done up, I started handing her her jewelry; the ring we all had, her ruby stud earrings, and a golden bracelet with an amethyst clasp above her ring, which was on her left ring finger.

Her crimson eyes met mine, and I gave her a smile, saying "Are you ready, Lady Leone?"

Giving me a nervous smile, she took a breath before nodding, her previous embarrassed expression melting away as it was replaced with a more dignified, noble expression, making my smile widen.

"Mistress is out front; please wait with her as I prepare Lady Anput."

I turned, preparing to exit her room.

However, she grabbed my wrist and turned me around, before pulling me towards her.

Placing her lips on mine, Leone kissed me before whispering "I... Sorry, I just..."

Chuckling, I dropped my 'professional maid' attitude for a moment as I returned her kiss, only pulling apart when her cinnamon taste permeated my tongue.

"It's alright... you're nervous, I know. It'll be alright though; as long as we all stick together, we can overcome anything Leone. Really."

She nodded, and I gave her another gentle smile before leaving.

Last up...

Slipping into the Jackalkin's room, I saw her pursing her lips as she sat in front of her mirror, her eyes glued to her face.

"Anput..?"

Turning, she smiled at me as she got up, stretching her bare lithe figure.

"Nothing, just thinking. Come on, let's get this over with..."

She was the easiest to dress by far; after binding her chest with a black cloth, we pulled the dark violet dress onto her, and after a few moments of adjusting and smoothing it out, we were almost done.

Anput had her long black hair down, and I set about combing it before pulling it into a high ponytail, using amethyst studded pins to keep it in place.

After that I slid her ring on her finger before looking her over, enjoying her more revealing look.

Grinning at me, Anput got up and gave me a twirl, making me chuckle before I found myself pressed against the table.

Leaning onto me, Anput smirked before kissing me, her hands clasping my own.

"I can't wait for this to be over... But I also want this to be drawn out so I can see that idiotic Elf suffer..."

Chuckling, I rolled my eyes as she kissed my neck, her tongue trailing over my pheromone gland.

"I want you after this, Kat..."

Pushing her back gently, I chuckled again as I smirked at her, coyly saying "Well, I guess you need to do well at this banquet, hmm~?"

Slipping from her embrace and exiting her room, I rejoined Jahi and Leone in the main room, the two women standing beside one another.

Anput joined them a moment later, and I gave them all a last second look over, proud of myself.

Jahi's hair was braided, and it fell over her left shoulder.

Her gold tipped horns accented her dark black suit, and was complimented by the various golden accessories on her person.

Smirking at me, she looked every bit a playboy at this moment, but I knew that as soon as we entered that banquet hall, she'd turn into that serious, unapproachable Demoness that everyone avoided.

Beside her stood Leone, her pale skin only accentuated by her darker gray dress, and the stones embedded into the expensive cloth sparkled in the light.

She was wearing that regal expression, and when paired with her golden tiara she looked every part the Princess she was.

Leone was the only one wearing any makeup, and even then it was just a light blush and dark red lipstick to match her eyes, making her look mature.

Finally, Anput stood confidently beside Leone, her dark violet dress looking incredible on her olive skin.

The black lace was just racy enough to attract attention, but also tame enough to be considered appropriate.

Seeing each one of them wearing such expensive attire made me smile, and I was about to gesture for us to leave when Jahi stepped forwards, two small boxes in her hands.

"Before we go... here, a gift."

Handing one to Leone and the other to Anput, the two women looked at them in anticipation before opening them.

Leone lifted out a ruby bracelet, each stone a brilliant fiery red.

As for Anput, she received a golden ring, a carved chunk of circular obsidian, the glossy black stone reflecting the light of the room wonderfully.

Both girls stared at their gifts with wide eyes, and rapidly slid them on.

Admiring their new jewelry, they grinned at the smirking Demoness, launching themselves into her arms.

Chuckling, she glanced back at me, and her smile widened as I slid up my sleeve, revealing the amber bead bracelet.

Letting them have their moment, I checked my own pocket watch before saying "Alright, we need to get going..."
