Her coming of age I

It's been two years since I came to this world. Such a long but short time. After all these years of not coming out, I think my notoriety had subsided. Though people outside the duchy has still the same prejudice about me, at least the people close to me-- who were serving me, had come to totally accept my change. I call them my people.

"Haha!" I laughed at my own silly idea. Anyways, that is how owners usually call their servants, right? "My people..." I repeated while smiling.

It's early in the morning. Maya and the girls were still not here, so I used my extra time in stretching. This would be a long day for me. Lot's of preparation to do for the night's main event. My coming of age ceremony. Aside from my people, I will now be seeing different faces outside of this sanctum. That would be a new challenge for me.

"Will I be able to meet a friend tonight?" I asked myself. I mean, I already have friends. I revered Maya as my friend, as well as the other girls who were serving me. We have already formed a bond. But it is quite different if you have a friend who is the same age as you. A friend who wouldn't treat you as their owner. I want to meet someone like that.

I was doing my squats when I heard Maya from the door.

"Whatever on earth are you doing, my lady!?" she was shocked to see such a vulgar pose. For them, it is indeed a sight to behold. I laughed.

"Exercising!" I replied in an energetic voice as I did my last rep.

"These past years, you have been doing quite odd things, my lady..." she remarked. Her tone was a mixture of worry and pride.

I just smiled at her as I'm wiping off my sweat with a towel. Indeed, a lot of things were odd for them. In this era where women wear nightgowns to sleep, I started requesting for a seamstress to make me satin short-shorts paired with a spaghetti strapped top as my nightie. And that's what I'm wearing right now. Quite revolutionary, huh?

I may also add, that at this time, panties and bras are not yet invented. So I started to have them create those. Even men's underwear. I have the first men's undies gifted to my father, and he loved them.

I just can't stop myself from laughing at that time when I imagined that the men here don't have undies. For how many years has their dong been jingling out there while they walk?

"Pfft!" I laughed as I recalled it.

As for the women, they loved the panties, however, their thoughts were quite divided with the bra as some would say it is bothersome since they were already wearing thick dresses. Others came to like them as it adds extra covering for them.

These revolutionary things were only released and known to the people inside the duchy. After my coming of age, I have already planned on releasing them as merchandise to the whole kingdom, making it as my first line of business. My father also agreed to it. I'm so excited about this feat. By the way, I have already mended the sore relationship between me and my father, so I actually call him "dad" now.

"What are your thoughts for today, my lady?" Maya asked me. She's worrying because this would be the first after two years that I would be showing my face to the world again.

"I am just worried as you, Maya. But I know it will be fine." I confidently smiled at her.

My re-education has helped me a lot in understanding society, as well as in becoming a real noble lady. Also, though I don't remember any of Aerin's memory, her own body's muscle memory is remembering everything for me. Being a duke's daughter is definitely great.
