10 Chapter 10: The Big Day

POV: Lisa Montagne

The big day finally happened. The day where maidens from all over the kingdom are invited to court the prince to find a potential heir to the throne. From what I heard, the prince was very cold and cruel that's why none of the royal family from other families wanted to marry him so they looked for another high-ranking woman in the kingdom to replace it.

I scratched my head as I looked at my big bumptious dress with disdain. The frills around it and the way the corset strangles your waist like a tree root is sickening. This is Luna's dress and it should be my size since we have the same body type but this torture device of clothing is killing me inside out.

"Are you ready?!" Luna shouted as I was still inside the dressing room.

"No..." I sighed, making her go to me directly, as she opened the door, she looked at me with confusion and asked. "Why aren't you wearing the dress I gave you? Do you not like the color? I thought it would fit you so I chose it for you..."

"It's not about the dress Luna..." I whimpered, avoiding eye contact with her.

"What then? Are you having your period or something? Did you get fucked by an elephant man along the way and that's why you're walking side to side like someone broke your back or something?" She crosses her arms, raising an eyebrow as she cited sarcastic conclusions.

"The corset on this dress is so tight. It's just so hard to wear. Can you get me a dress that's simpler and more comfortable? Having to wear that iron maiden is hard enough, but having to wear these big uncomfortable heels is another thing.." I shook my head, wiping my face as I imagined how much that would constrict me.

"Girl, the point of this dress is for you to stand out amongst the crowd. That's why I chose a big one, if you wore a small basic dress, you might as well just signed yourself to the consolation prize of this day which is nothing by the way." She went ahead to explain to me the reasoning for it but I just didn't really care about standing out.

"Ugh, listen." I put my hand on her shoulder. "How about I just serve as an escort to you in the ball? I mean I don't really want to court this prince or whatever his name is anyway. So ya, how about I just come there to support you so you can snag up your man or something." I suggested avoiding the dress, making her squint her eyes on me.

"You're thinking about that Terrence again aren't you? Don't tell me you actually wanna have babies with that guy when you just literally met yesterday."

"Hey! Don't put words on my mouth. I never said that about him or anything. Don't go assuming about things Luna." I scoffed her off, making her face contort to a joyful grin.

"Right.. you definitely wanna fuck with that guy don't you? Come on Lisa. I already know you. You definitely want to do the naughty naughty with that guy don't you." Her fox tail wrapped around my leg, tickling me slightly making me smack her in the head.

"Ouch! Why did you hit me you jerk! Go and hit on your man and not me!"

"Language! Geez. You are as modest as a well-paid courtesan, you know. Besides, like I said. I'm interested in Terrence but I'm not exactly like you who opens my legs just to anyone. I actually have some standards unlike you who goes after really rude men who just use you and throws you away after they are done." I gave her a condescending smirk. Making her pout in annoyance.

"You shady bastard. Girl.. fine I'll stop but seriously you need to get dressed since the ball is about to start and I don't exactly want you to look like some garbage bag found in the street." She snickered, picking out a new dress from her closet. "This dress should be less uncomfortable, it's not as big and flashy as what I intended you to wear but since you care more about your comfort than your value as an eye candy then so be."

She snapped her finger, using her levitation magic to make things around her suddenly float like they had a mind of their own. Bottles, brushes, shoes, dresses all started to circle around me with Luna having full control of what happens to me.

"Wha.. what are you doing?" I was flabbergasted and caught off guard by what's happening around me.

"I'm doing your make-up silly! I know you can't do make-up so I'll do it for you." She said to me.

"Wait! Shouldn't I use the transfiguration pendant first to transform into a different person and then you can use the make-up to me?" I suggested to her, making her eyes light up.

"Oh right! Good point! Use the pendant I gave you and transform into that beautiful rich sophisticated woman with the hourglass curves that's too generous for anyone to ignore!" She suggested to me, making me growl and just do it.

With the use of the pendant, I turned myself into a blonde-haired sophisticated silky smooth petite woman with perfect white teeth that can make the gloomiest cave shine bright like a star in the night sky. A beauty that was truly captivating to the beholder. This might be what I need to get the prince's attention but this isn't exactly who I am and how I act.

Luna then makes me sit down on a chair with a mirror in front of it. "Hold still by the way! I'm not used to levitation magic that much so this might go wrong if you move. Anyways! Let's start your make up and once that's done! We can now head to the castle for the ball! Are you ready?"

"Ready," I answered, closing my eyes to prepare for the make-up.
