Diana gasped softly as Vincent dipped her low, capturing her mouth with his own and kissing her with unbridled passion. She returned his passion, eyes closed, laughing into the kiss. Her head was spinning slightly; she couldn't tell if it was the blood rushing to her head from her new, lowered position, or the thrill of the whole proposal coming to a climax.
Finally they pulled apart and straightened up, and Diana looked up in wonder as they were suddenly lit by a spotlight and surrounded by falling rose petals. She laughed as they drifted softly down to land on both of them and the floor around them; Smoke's doing, no doubt. He never missed an opportunity to make special events all the more special.
She slid her hand into Vincent's and clasped it tightly, the ring still cool against her skin. That would change once she'd worn it for a while. Leaning against her groom-to-be, she looked up at him in speechless love and joy.
Best. Birthday. Ever.

Vincent smiled and leaned against Diana, making sure she could see his lips when he spoke to her.
"There's one more thing we need to do," he grinned, and then called out to the crowd. "Where is Her Majesty, Veronique, Queen of Darkness and Forced Education and High Queen of Arcadia?"

Veronique hadn't been entirely sure what she was doing here, except that apparently something big was going on and it was her duty to oversee it, and that she was going to get the opportunity to actually wear one of her more elaborate dresses and that apparently people were calling her the queen of something or other.
She'd been rather hoping that someone would get run through during the sword fight, but unfortunately for her, that damn Rivienne had to make everyone act all civil. They hadn't even drawn blood. Pity, that. Romances were always much more interesting when someone got stabbed first.
Still, Veronique never turned down the opportunity to upstage someone.
The wide double doors flew open, pale mist pouring into the cafeteria. Headmistress slowly stepped forward, her figure shimmering briefly in the mist before she became entirely visible. The lights around the cafeteria extinguished all at once, leaving the only source of light the hallway through the doors. Veronique loved being able to command the castle at her whim.
The headmistress herself was easily the most elaborately dressed, in flowing dark purple woven with silver and gold, flowing sleeves that nearly dragged the ground, and a crown that might have put the Crown Jewels to shame. Or at least, Veronique would like to think so.
Veronique looked out over the crowd, her gaze falling heavily on Vincent.

Vincent stepped up to Veronique and bowed low, nodding to Diana to do the same. He straightened up, meeting her eyes as he addressed her with the same formal, archaic speech he had been using for most of the proposal.
"O great and merciful Majesty," he said, "I come before thee as a humble vassal, and beseech thy blessing upon this union of my beloved and myself, heart with heart and life with life."

Veronique's gaze slid between the two lovers. "Long hath thee and thy lady served me well, Sir Vincent. My blessing is thine."

Vincent grinned as he bowed to her again. "A thousand thanks for thy blessing, Your Majesty. Long may thy realm prosper, and long and graciously may thou rule it."
Still grinning, he turned and addressed the crowd, finally breaking character a little. "And if any of the others who were involved in this proposal are present now, my heartfelt thanks go out to you as well. This wouldn't have been the same without every one of you. Thank you all so much."

Korlian grinned. It took him a moment to find a safe way down, since climbing up was always easier than climbing down, but he did so and grinned. "You're welcome. It was worth being part of these theatrics," he said brightly.
Then he very quickly skirted around Veronique and bolted. He really didn't want to be anywhere near her. And he had very, very good reasons, too.

Ellie cheered along with the rest, catching the couple's attention as the joviality calmed. a few minutes later.
"I have a gift for you two," she mouthed, nodding her head in the direction of the Faculty Cafe. "When you're ready."

Vincent looked at Diana, then back at Ellie, his grin still in place. "I think we're both ready now. Lead on, Lady Ellie."
