Marcel felt his eyebrows raise, and he leaned right next to her ear. "I think, you should heed Damian's warning" he said, "lest you make a very fatal mistake." With that final whisper, he stood back a few paces. "So, how about we get on with the introductions, then you can all get to your perspective jobs. Once Damian gets back of course, he will be sure to take very good care of you fine ladies." He gave another long bow, left hand securely placed near his stomach and chest, and his right hand balancing on his lower back, palm up. "Dear ladies, you are looking at the master of this castle, I have been called many things, but I am more recently known as Marcel Julius Cross." He stood straight up and gestured to the ladies, "Now please, names if you will." He dressed it up nicely, but it was clear that this was no request...<br/><br/>Immediately a girl of about 23 years stood forward, She wore a fine dark green colored dress. She was clearly a natural red head, and had green emerald like eyes. Her features were what most men would call beautiful, and her voice was very smooth and charismatic, much like Marcel's "My name is Anne, and I-" Marcel immediately interrupted her, and grasped her hand softly. "Anne, short for- Anastasia... I imagine?" he said, speaking slowly and with what seemed like curiosity. "Yes, my family did not originally come from this city, and the name runs in our family from parent to child... kind of embarrassing really." She covered her mouth with one hand and blushed, clearly trying to charm the one she was working for. It probably was not the first time she tried to either, she was very skilled in the art of intrigue it seemed. Though she had no idea of who she was dealing with, and no one could blame her.<br/><br/>"My darling, you are definitely one of noble blood on the inside and out. I imagine you will be able to satisfy the<span style="color: #FF0000">hunger </span>which is my curiosity. Please, after the introductions are complete, have a drink with me, and tell me all about yourself. I will make sure to share something about me as well in return." He released her hand only when he saw the gleam of success in her eyes, and he moved on to the next girl. He glanced to the one in the blue dress, and folded his hands behind his back as he walked. 'I wonder, did she get the intentions of the girl who wants so badly charm me... and if so, did she catch how I trapped her instead? I cannot help but wonder.' He thought idly.
