Now that Ciel had a name to go with the 'Huntress' he had to report this to the queen, added with the fact she was a Duchess of magic nobility. 

The queen had decided to throw a gala to invite the 'huntress' and for the task of the Aristocrats of Evil to invite her as a new member to be recruited.

------------------------------

Zephyr was surprised when she found that Phantomhive found where she lived. Then again, the butler was a demon. 

She was invited to a gala the queen was hosting, probably to lure her in.

Well then.

She'll play this game they have.

-------------------------

Ciel wasn't sure if Zephyranth would appear, but then he saw the familiar face coming towards him. And she actually looked very lovely in her dress for the gala. She didn't appear to be wearing a corset of sorts, but she already had the figure, so she wouldn't need one.

Though she had an interesting necklace that she wore. A simple silver necklace with a hanging symbol that escaped him. A triangle with a circle in the middle with a line bisecting it.

"I see you actually replied to the queen's invite, Duchess Potter." Ciel said having the other Aristocrats direct their attention to her. 

"My, when they said you are fair, they weren't kidding." A woman in red said. "I'm Angelica Dalles, but people have taken to calling me 'Madame Red'."

To the group's surprise, Zephyr's face morphed into a smiling one.

"Ah, I really love your hair color Madame. It reminds me of my late mother, she was a redhead as well." Zephyr spoke in fondness earning a joyous laugh from Red.

"Is that so? I would've loved to meet her."

"I'm sure she would've liked your company too. Though..." Zephyr said diverting her attention to Ciel. "I have the feeling there's more you wanted to talk to me about concerning me. Am I right?"

".....You certainly are perceptive Duchess Potter. Her majesty wanted us to invite us into our circle." He said.

"And what exactly would I have to do? Because I'm not one of those maidens content with just sitting around and looking pretty to lure in prey." Zephyr said getting to the point.

"It's simple actually. You would lend a hand in capturing criminals in England's seedy underground from request of the queen and myself." Ciel said getting to the point, and Zephyr smiled.

"Usually I don't like associating with having to 'eradicating' the filth that squanders in this town, but you just said something interesting. If it promises to be different from my previous targets and hunts, I'll oblige. But as an equal, not as some underling." Zephyr said as Ciel smirked.

"Very well."

----------------------------------

"I've also had to ask, is there an alias you wish to go by?" Ciel asked as the gala ended.

"You already heard of me being the 'Swan' and 'Huntress' but those close to me would also call me the 'Conqueress'. A couple years back, a group of dark mages challenged me or wanted to avenge the 'dark lord' they revered so much, but they lost everything to me. Where I'm from, we have a rule called 'Right of Conquest'. Basically, when two family heads face each other off in a fight to the death or something like that and there are no other heirs, the victor gains all rights to the losers' properties and wealth if they die or are incapacitated. And apparently life in prison or losing their memory is about as incapacitated as we can get. As of now, I've gained the rights and wealth of 65 magic families, mostly prejudiced purebloods, and one non-magic family." She said surprising Ciel and his butler before leaving. "I'll be expecting to have an involvement in your next request from her majesty.

Sebastian smirked watching the duchess depart.

Things were definatley going to be more interesting.
