Kellette nodded in satisfaction. The blue orb glowing above her sister’s head was a clear cut sign—there was no magic spell cast on her sister. “See, I told you!” She said, absently repeating the same spell on herself and glancing up to see an identical blue orb floating above her own head. “If there had been a spell on us, those orbs should have lit up bright red.” She told Tassette. “Nothing is wrong, Tassie. Ranelle probably just thought it would be funny to make you think that you were a boy turned into a girl and make you panic. You know she likes messing with people.” She added.
Tassette frowned. “I suppose…..” she whined. “But the memories feel so real!” She shifted on her seat, adjusting her low cut green dress. “Are you suuuure there’s no magic?” She asked again. Kellette nodded. “My magic should have detected if there was any spells on us. Since it didn’t identify anything, we are exactly who we are supposed to be!” She said happily.
Tassette still looked uncertain, and Kellette sighed. “I know what will make you happy.” She said with a wink. “Your husband to be, Crown Prince Julio, is visiting the city today, is he not?” Tassette nodded uncertainly. She had been with Ranelle when she’d received the news, and she’d been torn. The part of her that thought of herself as Tassian had been horrified when she’d heard that she was to marry a man; the way passing male servants and guards had subtly eyed her chest made it quite clear just how attractive she looked to men. The clothing didn’t help, either; all of her dresses were specially tailored to be low cut, emphasizing her large breasts.
The part of her that was whispering that everything was okay, though? The part that thought of herself as Tassette? She was ecstatic at the news. Julio was just soooo handsome, and dreamy, and—she caught herself. No! She had to stay focused. Kellette smiled at her sister. “I can bring him here, if you want.” She said, a twinkle in her eye, already starting to cast the spell necessary. Tassette opened her mouth to protest, but then hesitated, the two sides of her warring……
Too late.
There was a bright flash of light, and Crown Prince Julio stumbled forward. One second he’d been with a group of his guards, wandering through the streets of the capitol, taking in the sites….and a second later he found himself feeling light headed and dizzy, the entire world spinning around him, cries of alarm from his men…and then he was here. Tassette hurried forward, helping her husband to be over to another stool in the room and glaring at Kellette. “What? I didn’t realize the teleportation spell would take so much out of him.” Kellette responded.
“You teleported him halfway across the city, Kelle!” Tassette hissed in response. Julio, for his part, had caught his breathe and was now happily watched the way his bride to be’s chest heaved as she argued with her sister. Tassette turned and spotted that, blushing as red as her hair when she realized just what he was looking at. Suddenly, the idea of kissing him seemed like a wonderful plan.
Kellette smirked. For all her protests about them actually being boys, Tassette certainly hadn’t reacted like that when her future husband had appeared in the room. In fact, from the way she was kissing him, now perched atop his lap, it seemed much more like having to wait so long to be his wife had scrambled her brain a little. “A-hem!” She coughed loughly. The couple ignored her, continuing to passionately kiss. Kellette rolled her eyes. Conjuring up a minor spell, she set off a loud BOOM which got their attention, Tassette outright falling off Julio’s lap, startled.
“Hello, Prince Julio.” Kellette said dryly, Julio smiling sheepishly. “Hello, Princess Kellette.” He responded, extending a hand to help Tassette up off the floor. “Tassie got teased by one of our sisters, filling her head with silliness, so I thought she might feel better if you came to visit.” Kellette explained. Julio nodded. “I’ll have to send a messenger to my guards, letting them know I’m not in danger. I’m sure they are panicking.” He said. “Come, Tassette.” He said, sliding an arm around her waist. “We can go for a walk around the castle afterwards.”
As the couple exited the chamber, Kellette laughed to herself. Tassette and her silly thoughts. She returned to her brushing.
