IGIWS: FIRST DRAFT: Chapter 254

Rya was in her room getting dressed up with a stunning, purple, off shoulder, ball gown dress that hugged her waist and showed off her curvy body. She also put on some matching purple, high heels. She had three maids helping her put on her gown and fix up her long white hair.

The maids were putting her hair up in an elegant bun that had a few strands of her white hair hanging down her forehead. They even gave her a light makeup touchup. The head maid leading the other two Maids was Gretchen, who normally was Rianna's personal maid but she made the journey to Tairal with the Prince's convoy five days ago.

Rya was resistant to have other people dress her up but she knew it was her duty as a future queen. So she let the maids help her and she even let Gretchen apply her makeup.

"Miss Anna... Do you see how adding a little pink lipstick to your lips makes her ladyship's whole face come together. And you don't need any foundation for her skin because it's flawless. Only a little powder is needed," Gretchen was instructing Anna on what colors matched best for Rya's tan color skin.

Anna nodded and was a little nervous. She was to become Lady Rya's personal maid. But she was a bit uneasy about working for a Dark Elf. She heard the stories like all the rest and now she was to be Lady Rya's new maid. She didn't want to anger her future Mistress.

Anna was a young human female who is around 18. She is short, thin, and had a youthful face. She had a cute smile and short brown hair. She had hazel eyes and was quite bubbly.

Rya felt out of place being dolled up by other people.

Miss Elise was finishing up Rya's hair and put a platinum tiara on. "Lady Rya, your hair is perfect. I have done a few princess hairstyles and I've learned a lot from Gretchen. Please have a look in the mirror and let us know what you think."

'Ugh... Here we go... I'm supposed to be impressed when I'm not.' Rya thought as she turned to the mirror. But when she saw her reflection in the mirror, her eyes widened at how beautiful she looked.

Her mouth opened up in shock by what she saw. Rya thought she only needed a few little things done to her hair and her makeup. But the maids did a full on transformation of her appearance.

'Oh my God! This is actually really good. It looks like I could be a princess in this outfit and hairstyle... Maybe I should take some pointers so my golems can do this for me. It would be nice if I could do something with my own hair once in a while. And I might have a few extra outfits for when I get bored and change my appearance... Jesus Christ, I've changed... But fuck it... I'm a woman now and I'm fucking going to enjoy the finer things in life. I'm no longer that man... And I have a new body and a new life to enjoy. I'm going to embrace being a woman. I'm going to be a sexiest, gorgeous, and beautiful Dark Elf Goddess. And the world better watch out... Cause I'm going to make them fall in love with me. Just like Quinus is.' Rya was surprised at how her hair was so elegant and perfect for a princess.

Gretchen saw her lady's shocked expression and was very happy with her job.

"Wow! It's hard to believe that's me," Rya said out loud.

"Alpha's is way too into these human dresses," Dalia whispered to Nieren.

Rya narrowed her eyes and slowly glanced at the Wolfkin and her sister.

Nieren wasn't wearing her usual retainer's garb, but she was dressed in an elven outfit.

Nieren's elven outfit was a green robe that exposed her cleavage. It was made of silk and had gold trimming. Her hair wasn't in a ponytail but instead hung loosely. Her face had little makeup and her ears were exposed.

She wore a pair of leather shoes that matched her dress and went nicely with the rest of her outfit. She looked amazing in this getup and had a very feminine aura around her.

But the Wolfkin was a different story as she was wearing an black A-line halter dress that stopped at her knees, with a silver choker that had a wolf pendant hanging from it. The top was sleeveless and was cut low enough to show off the tops of her breasts. She has sliver bracelets and she had three inch black heels.

The Wolfkin's long black hair was in a high ponytail and her green eyes popped with the eye shadow she had on. She had her tail out and the tail was swaying from side to side.

"Oh really?... You seem to be enjoying it just as much. And you are wearing jewelry... So I can tell it's not that you hate it," Rya said to Dalia and smiled a bit.

"It's because my Gamma bought these things for me and nothing more... I-I totally prefer to be naked," Dalia said, and then turned her head to the side. The Wolfkin wanted to deny it but she was starting to feel the allure of wearing a pretty outfit just like her Alpha. But no respecting Beastkin would admit it.

"Hahaha... Well, I think you look gorgeous in that outfit," Rya said to the Wolfkin who started to blush.

'M-Maybe Gamma could get me an even better outfit. Something that could show off more of my body... It wouldn't be because I wanted to show off, though. I would only want it for comfort and warmth,' Dalia thought to herself and blushed harder. She was still wild in heart but she was becoming domesticated by human culture. With their food, houses, and she loved how free a female can be in the human world.

"Dalia..." Rya called out and the Wolfkin perked up and glanced over.

"Y-yes, Alpha?"

"What do you think about Nieren's clothes," Rya asked with a grin.

Nieren glared at the Wolfkin as she thought she was going to mock her.

Dalia examined the blonde Wood Elf and said, "I think heels would make Woody's presence bigger. Otherwise she looks dangerously good."

Nieren was surprised and was wondering why Dalia wasn't mocking her. She wasn't expecting a compliment.

"Nieren doesn't need her height to stand out. But I can see what you mean," Rya said as she walked over to Nieren and looked her over.

"Huh?... But I don't like heels... I'm already tall enough," Nieren replied and glanced over at Rya.

"Yeah... I'm not talking about height, Nieren. I'm talking about how heels give your butt more shape. You would look amazing," Rya said.

Nieren blushed a bit and then her face flushed as she looked at the mirror and turned sideways. She couldn't see it, but her butt was already impressive as is.

"But my butt is fine the way it is," Nieren commented.

"Haha... That's not what the guys will say when you are showing off those curves. I could make some adjustments and make a dress fit for a princess. Though you are already a princess so maybe a Queen would suit you better," Rya teased her with a giggle.

Nieren thought of Quinus and felt her heart beating faster. She glanced down at the dress and was curious about it.

"Fine... Just something simple, okay," Nieren said and blushed.

"Great. Miss Elise, please get Miss Nieren fitted for a new dress. Maybe a couple more casual and one fancy," Rya said with a smile.

Elise nodded her head and went to her station and gathered up some fabrics.

"And Miss Anna, can you grab some jewelry for Nieren? Make sure to get some matching shoes too," Rya ordered.

"Of course, Mistress Rya," Anna replied and headed towards the jewelry box.

Nieren was beginning to worry if she had made a mistake. But her curiosity got better of her.

"Come on, Sister. Stand over here and we will start," Rya said and smiled.

Nieren gulped and went over and stood on the little pedestal. She had no idea that her life was about to change as Rya undid her cloth belt and removed her robe. Nieren reflectively tried to cover herself but Rya held her hands in place.

"It's fine, Nieren. We are all girls here. Besides, it's not like I haven't seen everything before. Now just relax," Rya said calmly.

Gretchen began taking measurements and writing them down. Once that was done she let Anna take over and measure the bust, waist, and hip. Nieren couldn't help but notice how big her hips were. She could feel her face blushing.

"There... Now we can dress you properly. Miss Elise, grab the red dress with the lace trim. I think that will suit Lady Nieren nicely," Gretchen ordered.

Elise grabbed the red dress and brought it over. It was a red dress with a V-neck and a thin red lace trim.

"W-Wait!... Red isn't a good color on me. Can I try something else," Nieren asked in a worried tone.

"Nonsense, my dear. ,,,The color will bring out the natural beauty in your skin and eyes," Gretchen commented and grabbed the dress.

Elise held it up against Nieren and the size was just right. Gretchen pulled it over her and then pulled the strings to tighten the dress. Nieren was worried as the dress tightened around her breasts. She felt the dress squeezing her and she took a deep breath. The dress felt snug and the hem came down just below her knees. The front was cut a bit low and her cleavage was showing.

"See... Red is a perfect color on you," Rya commented.

Nieren couldn't see the dress because her back was facing the mirror.

"Now the stockings and shoes..." Anna commented and showed her a pair of red heels.

"That will work. But how am I supposed to walk in those," Nieren wondered.

"Practice," Rya teased.

Nieren was worried and didn't know what she was getting herself into. But she decided to see this through to the end as the maids pulled up the stockings. The material felt weird to her. The only other clothes she ever had was her retainer and adventurer's garbs. She didn't wear much dresses when her kingdom was destroyed and her family had to flee.

These tight clothes were making her uncomfortable for no reason, and she could feel the material rubbing her. She began feeling hot and itchy in odd places.

"Mistress, are you alright," Anna asked concernedly.

"Hmm?... Oh, yes. I'm fine," Nieren said quickly.

She felt embarrassed as her nipples became erect as the high-quality materials rubbed against her. She could feel her body reacting.

'No... Not now... I can't let them see this. This is embarrassing. Why do I feel so hot all of a sudden?... Is this some kind of magic spell or a curse?' Nieren thought to herself.

Anna helped Nieren into the heels, and the young Wood Elf stumbled and nearly fell over.

"Easy there. Don't worry, you'll get used to it. Let's go to the vanity table and sit down," Anna commented.

The three maids were all watching her as she stumbled along. She finally made it to the chair and sat down. Gretchen began pulling her hair up and began brushing her hair. Nieren watched as the three maids looked at her.

'Are these ladies really going to help me,' Nieren thought to herself.

"Okay. She needs a little red on her lips," Anna commented.

Elise pulled out a small jar of red lipstick and opened it up. Nieren was confused as Anna pulled her bottom lip down and put the lipstick on.

Gretchen was working on her hair and, pulling it up and tying it into a bun. Anna was putting the final touches on her face and was putting some red coloring on her cheeks.

"You know, Nieren. You have a cute face. You should smile more," Rya teased.

"I don't like smiling," Nieren muttered.

"Hmm? Why's that?" Rya asked.

"Smiling is for the weak," Nieren muttered.

Rya giggled a bit, "Jeez... You know I'm joking. You don't need to take it seriously."

"Oh?... I think Woody likes being embarrassed," Dalia teased.

"Y-You were the one who hated being dressed, you stupid dog!... I-I'm not enjoying this. It's not what you think," Nieren defended.

"Then why is your face so red?" Dalia asked.

"T-That's the make-up they're putting on me. Plus, I'm not used to human clothes," Nieren defended.

"It doesn't matter if she's blushing, Dalia. The important thing is that we look presentable to Quin's father. We got to dress to impress, right sis," Rya interjected.

"Well, that's not hard to accomplish, Lady Rya. You three are practically already gorgeous," Gretchen complimented.

"Awww, that's so sweet of you to say," Rya replied.

"Really!? I mean... Of course!" Dalia added.

"T-Thank you," Nieren mumbled. She didn't know if the maid was being genuine or not.

"You're welcome," Gretchen said as she placed a few Ruby-encrusted hair clips into Nieren's hair.

Nieren just sat there, letting them put whatever they wanted onto her while Anna and Elise ensured Nieren's makeup was perfect.

Rya was stunned by how gorgeous Nieren looked. Her adopted older sister was always beautiful, thanks to her Elven genes. But seeing her in a dress and with makeup made her look stunning.

'Damn... If I were still a guy, I would be so turned on right now... Haah... I do miss my old body sometimes...' Rya thought as she looked at a big stand-up mirror to the left of her and saw her reflection of herself wearing her stunning purple dress, her choker necklace with the glowing orb in the center, and her tiara of the Meredydd family crest. She looked like a princess, and she felt like a princess in this new body.

Rya couldn't help but smile at her reflection. 'Yeah, never mind... This is the new me... The true me.' the Dark Elf smiled a bit wider. 'I am a fucking Goddess... And I wonder how long it will take to get Quin all hot and bothered tonight... God damn. Just thinking about it makes me wet,' Rya's mind wandered a bit. She imagined taking advantage of Quin for fun, but she knew he would be the one to turn the tables on her if she teased him too much today.

'Fuck... I can't wait to see what that man can do... Gah!... Get your head out of the gutter, Rya... I need to greet Quin's dad and prepare for the ritual... I know Alaric is planning on using an Ether Crystal. But how is it supposed to light up the Idol?... I wish I could look through my golem's eyes to see how the idol works. I guess I'll have to see it in person. Hopefully, it isn't like those stupid blood contracts where my eyes can't see the magical properties work,' Rya thought.

Over the last few days, Rya had her Golems spying on Alaric, Duval, and Hilda and sending one to the Temple of Balance. It was at that moment when she took control of 3E's body to see the inside of the temple for herself, but that's when she noticed something that she didn't expect. Her eyes were always able to read all languages, and they could see ether particles as well as understand how artifacts work. But looking through her golems' eyes, she noticed that she couldn't read or see the magical properties of the artifacts. She made sure that it wasn't a mistake and created a golem next to her and grabbed a book from the library. Rya read it perfectly fine, but when she took over the new golem's body and read the same book. She couldn't read the text or see the mana particles.

'I wonder if it has anything to do with the golem's body. Or is it because I have some passive ability or enchantment that only allows me to see these things in my body... Damn, it's like there's a filter or something that's preventing my golems from duplicating this ability for them. I need to figure out what's causing this... It would be nice if my golems could see the same stuff I can see... At least I can still hear people perfectly fine. So, whatever universal translator ability allows me to listen to all languages is still working through my problems. I wish I had a better understanding of these abilities... Patience... I need patience,' Rya sighed before hearing Nieren complaining again.

"I-I feel so out of place," Nieren said nervously.

"Don't worry, Nieren. Just think of it as a quest from the Adventurer's Guild... You are my secret retainer. There to protect me from any danger," Rya smirked a little.

"I-I don't know, Rya... I'm better with my bow and dagger by my side... Wearing stuff like this is... Well, it's unsuitable for protecting you... W-What if I trip on the skirt? And the heels are—"

"Nieren!... Come here," Rya interrupted her before pulling her to her feet, "Do you think that so heels and a dress can prevent you from being the strongest warrior you can be?"

"N-No, I—"

"Exactly. Now, straighten up. Stand tall, and be proud of who you are. I need you by my side for the ritual... Plus, you're literally a princess... I wasn't born into royalty. My parents would be considered commoners, whereas you are the daughter of an Elven Princess," Rya explained.

"B-But, Rya! You're—"

"Look in the mirror and tell me what you see," Rya commanded, causing Nieren to look at the full-length mirror in the dressing room.

Nieren hesitated for a moment before she saw her reflection in the mirror. She almost did a double-take when she saw herself in a human dress. Nieren stood up a bit taller, feeling the magic flowing through the enchanted dress as her hourglass shape became more prominent. And the red dress made her green eyes and long blonde hair stand out even more. The wood elf felt the confidence growing inside her and stood a little taller as she looked into the mirror.

"I-I guess you're right, Sis... But if Mom asks why I'm wearing a human dress. I'll be sure to blame you," Nieren smiled as she started to relax.

"Go ahead... I've fine with taking the blame... As long as I can—"

*Knock! Knock!*

All six ladies looked over towards the door.

Miss Anna walked over and opened the door to see Quinus, Percy, and Sir George standing there.

"The ceremony is about to start in... Wow... Lady Nieren? I didn't know that you liked to dress up like this?" Quinus asked as he took in her new appearance.

Nieren blushed like mad and turned away from him. Her heart was racing, and she fought to hide her smile.

"It's all Rya's fault!"

Quinus smirked and looked at his fiancee, "And you look as beautiful as ever... Are you torturing your sister?... She might disown you if you're not careful."

"Well, it's not my fault that Nieren looks great in a dress. It would be a crime not to show off her beautiful features," Rya giggled.

Quinus glanced over to the embarrassed Wood Elf, who peeked at him before looking away.

'Goddess be damned... Elven women are unfairly beautiful. Crap!... I'm staring at her ass. Get your head out of the clouds, Quin!'

Quinus' gaze shifted back to his beloved, and he walked up to her and kissed her hand, "It's almost time, Love."

"Yeah, yeah... Just let me grab my purse, and we can head out," Rya smiled.

Rya noticed that Nieren was acting strange and asked, "You ok, sis?"

Nieren's heart was racing, and her face was beet-red, "Y-Yes... I'm good... I'm just thinking about how to explain this to my mother..."

"There you go over thinking things again. You'll be fine," Rya smiled as she grabbed her purse and then walked out with Quinus.

Sir George sighed and followed after the Prince. Percy was staring at his girlfriend in awe. She looked like a warrior goddess, and Percy didn't want to take his eyes off of her. Dalia wagged her tail when she locked eyes with her mate.

"Ahem..." Miss Anna cleared her throat and stared at the young couple.

"R-Right... We should head to the foyer," Percy stuttered while holding out his hand.

The Wolfkin smiled and started walking towards Percy, but she got a whiff of Nieren's mating scent again. She looked sly at the embarrassed Wood Elf, who was lost in thought. And she was about to tease her but stopped herself and shook her head.

'No... I don't want to ruin my outfit. Besides, I'll be able to tease her later, and then she can chase me... For now, I should follow my mate and watch Alpha's back.' Dalia thought as she took Percy's hand.

The ranger's face reddened, and his heart skipped a beat. He squeezed her hand and led her down the hall.

Nieren and the three maids were the only ones left, and the maids were confused by the Wood Elf's odd behavior.

Anna finally asked, "Umm... Lady Nieren, are you feeling alright?"

Nieren's ears twitched, and her face went pale. She looked at the three maids, and her face was flushed red again.

"W-What?... Don't you know it's rude to stare?"

Gretchen shook her head while Elise started cleaning up the room, and Anna blinked a few
