Noose Debut - Hikarry & Erika

the story : Princess Hikarry sat down onto her throne as she watched the party unfold. She smiles thinking about how today would be her friend and lady in waiting, Erika’s noose debut dance. The special debut gallows had been moved from the usual in the court to this new room. Due to how today it wasn’t just any noble becoming the debutante, it was her friend’s so she organized a grand ball party for her to enjoy before her dance. Erika had just finished getting ready in the lovely gown that Hikarry had gifted her for her debut. She twirls a bit in her dress, loving how it moves with her, how flowy it is as well how the skirt is so wide and big. She loved the colors of her dress. White with teal as the secondary color and highlights. “I look so pretty! Hikarry really made me feel like a princess like her in this. I hope my brother enjoys this dance as well…” She says smiling at imaging her brother Arthur, the personal guard of Hikarry watching her noose dance. But she sighs, he loves her dearly and would want to cut her down. “Maybe Hikarry could talk him into watching me…” She thinks as she goes and starts working on her long blonde hair. She braids it into her having two small ears like hair points and grabs a red silk ribbon. It was a gift from her brother back when she first became Hikarry’s Lady in Waiting. As either knew they would reunite when they parted ways. She smiles happy as she takes it and starts to tie it at the back of her hair, making a large and cute red bow to finish off her look. “Time to go to the party.” She says happily as she finishes up putting on her makeup and her gloves and stockings. Finishing it off with a cute pair of high heels. Now finished she opens the doors from her room and starts walking to the party. Hikarry told her to come a bit later than the intended time so Hikarry could give her a royal introduction. Erika was excited as she strutted to the ballroom where her party would be held. “Oh my…” She says with a smile and awe as she sees the party that Hikarry had arranged for her. Many ladies of the court were waltzing as the royal band was playing a lovely song fitting for this celebration. As she walked in she looked for her brother or Hikarry. “Lady Erika. Would you like a dance?” Asks a minor noble. “I am honored but I must turn down your invitation” She says to him as she keeps walking. This song dance repeated itself a few more times. Erika was a lovely lady. Young and beautiful with a nice chest and long blonde hair and deep blue eyes. Many nobles try to court her like they tried Hikarry herself but both girls turned down several of these advances. After some walking she finds her friend. The stunning princess Hikarry. Hikarry was dressed in one of her many elegant royal gowns. A stunning blue ball gown with her royal emblem sewn into the lower edges of her dress with golden silk. The dress had a mix of light blue with white and light green. She had 3 roses two blue, one on her necklace and another on her corset, and one white on her dress’ waist. She wore her princess tiara. A small but elegant white crown with blue gems that compliments nice with her bright blue short hair. “Your highness.” Says Erika as she graceful bows before her. “Lady Erika, you made quite the entrance.” She smiles back as she pats a spare seat next to her throne. “Join me, we should our time before your debut.” “Of course your highness.” Says Erika as she walks up, picking up the edges of her dress and lifting them up to climb up the steps and take a seat next to her. “I hope you are enjoying the party Erika.” Says Hikarry as she smile towards her friend. “I am enjoying your highness. You have been so kind and generous. Specially giving me this honor.” Hikarry chuckles as Erika thanks her. “Don’t worry. I know you have always wanted to have grand debut like this. I needed to make it worthy of such a good friend.” “Your highness… You truly are a kind and generous ruler” Says Erika smiling as she sat down next to her friend. She felt as if she was royalty like her friend. She then spots him, her brother Arthur. “Arthur!” She says excited noticing him among the crowd, dancing with some noble ladies causing Erika to look jealous. “You aren’t jealous of the other ladies dancing with your brother are you?” Teases Hikarry. “Huh? Oh no! Not that!” She says nervously. “I just think they are good enough for him.” She replies back causing Hikarry just to giggle. “Whatever you say.” She giggles as she returns to enjoy the party. Erika wonders if now is appropriate to ask her. “Hikarry, may I ask you one request for today?” Asks Erika nervously. “Sure, anything for your grand day.” She says happily. “I want my brother to watch me. He would try to cut me down but I don’t want that. I want the full experience. Until I am red and limp on the rope. So, I ask if you could make sure Arthur watches me.” She requests her. Hikarry thinks it over, Arthur is a dear knight of her and she knows how much he cares for Erika. But today is Erika’s special day. “I will make sure he watches your dance fully. Is your big day, and it is the duty of a big brother to do what his little sister wants on such occasions.” She says with a happy smile. “Besides I am the princess, he has to do as I command.” She giggles a bit more sinisterly. “Thank you. Now, I will go enjoy my final Waltz with my brother.” She says happily as she stands up and bows before Hikarry. Hikarry nods and bows back to her. “Enjoy your waltz with Arthur. Once you're done, come back so we can have one last nice talk before it is time.” She tells Erika as Erika nods happily and walks down to look for her brother among the crowd. It takes a while as she finds him. Arthur is dressed in a formal suit, for once he is out of his knight armor and Erika couldn’t help but blush looking at him. He has a well trimmed face and jet black hair. Erika and him are both adoptive siblings, as she could not help but love him. “Sir Arthur.” She bows towards him. Holding the edges of her dress, raising them in a curtsy manner. “Lady Erika.” He say formally bowing in return. Erika smiles as he does. “I would assume you would like a dance, dear sister.” He says offering his hand to her. “I would love to.” She says taking his hand. He puts his hand around her waist. As he does she smiles and blushes a bit. They begin to waltz together. Erika leads as she has taken dancing classes thanks to Hikarry. Arthur follows, as he isn’t a good dancer but he is able to follow her movements. Both seem to be enjoying the moment. As Erika loves dancing with her brother, she is the happiest girl in the land at this moment. Hikarry smiles as she sees her friends dance together. She looks and notices something is odd, there are few guards. Not only that her brother isn’t here. Not only that she starts to notice her guests are quickly ushered out of the room. Is being done subtly enough if she wasn’t paying attention she would not notice. “Guards, where is my brother by any chance?” She asks one of her guards. “Your highness, his highness Hiko informed you that he would be unable to attend this ceremony.” They tell her. Yet she looks unconvinced. ‘They are hiding something, I know it!’ She thinks to herself. She looks around in case anyone tries to make any moves. “If you would excuse me. I wish to go talk with my friends.” She says to her guards as she stands up and walks down towards Arthur and Erika. She barely got off her throne when she hears one of the guards yell out. “Now! Seize the princess!” As they rush her. Hikarry is taken completely by surprise and could barely react to her assailants. “Stay back! Unhand me!” She commands but is quickly overpowered by her traitorous guards. Her hands are forced behind her back and they are tied with rope into a position. Making her unable to escape. “What’s going on!” Yells Erika afraid as they see the guards tackle Hikarry. “I don’t know. Just stay close to me.” Says Arthur as two other guards rush them. He moves Erika back and disarms a guard. Grabbing his sword to then strike back against the guards. Erika notices an opening and runs up to Hikarry. “Hikarry!” She yells out rushing to her side. She begins to untie her. “I’m fine. We need to leave, my brother betrayed us.” Says Hikarry shocking Erika. “What…” Says a shocked Erika as she can’t believe it. “GAH!” Yells Arthur in pain as he is surrounded by guards. Erika and Hikarry look over to them and notice Arthur took down 3 guards but he is surrounded by enemies. Among them Hiko himself. He looks similar to Hikarry, but with dark blue hair over Hikarry’s more bright blue hair. He wears the royal armor of the royal family. As he holds a sword to Arthur’s neck. “No please! Spare him!” Yells Erika terrified of losing her brother. “Erika… Hikarry… Run…” Says a wounded Arthur. Erika starts to tear up as she sees the state her brother is in. Hikarry, seeing her friends in such despair, swallows hard and stands up tall looking at her brother. “Hiko.” She calls him out as he turns to look at her. “Sister…” he says dispassionately. After looking erika and remember her wish then "Ok, i give up.” She says shocking both Arthur and Erika. “Is that so Hikarry? You know what I will do to you.” He says with a sinister smirk. “I am. I just have 3 conditions for my surrender.” She, inside she somewhat regrets this. She is about to turn herself over to her brother that almost certainly wants her dead. “First, let Arthur live. Second, allow Erika to have her noose. Third if u want me to die, hang me with erika as noose debut.” Says Hikarry defiantely. But she was somewhat scared and nervous doing all this. But she hoped her brother would accept the deal. “No, your highness! Please escape with my sister, forget about me-” Arthur is cut off as Hiko nods. “I accept your conditions. The gallows are already here. Bring out some rope and 2 stools.” He orders as the guards let go of Arthur but bring him up to sit in front of the gallows. “Hikarry… Are you sure about this?” Asks Erika as both she and Hikarry have their arms tied behind their backs. “Yes… You wanted your brother to see you dance. This way, we both go out as ladies. But if I am being honest. I am scared.” Admits Hikarry. Erika comforts her. “Don’t worry. Is not so scary, I’ve been preparing myself for this. Just watch my dance, and you will see there is nothing to be afraid of.” She smiles softly to reassure her. “Alright, I trust you. Let us go together to our noose debuts.” Says Hikarry, feeling a bit more relieved at Erika’s way of thinking. As they are escorted to the gallows. Erika smiles as she is made to climb up the stool and a silk rope is placed around her neck. Hikarry nervously walks up onto the stool. She isn’t afraid but she isn’t as excited as Erika. “Arthur… I’ll miss you, but I dedicate this dance to you and Hikarry.” Says Erika as she smiles happy preparing herself to dance. Arthur cries a bit, he knows this her dream but seeing her hang until death pains him inside. Hikarry looks nervous as waits for Hiko to pull out their stools. “ARHK!” Hikarry then turns her head sharply to her left as she sees Hikarry kicked her own stool away. ‘Wait… She did it on her own?’ She thinks to herself surprised. Erika fell down a few inches as the rope caught her neck. She felt her entire body being supported by the rope digging into her neck. She found it oddly pleasurable. Her gown weighed her down and her tight corset made it already hard to breathe without the noose. “Aw…” Moans out Erika as she starts to dance under the noose. She feels the rope dig itself deep into her soft and delicate neck. The rope pushes hard against her, making it hard to breathe. The pain becomes so great she starts to kick her legs in a desperate attempt to find some ground or support for herself. She starts to sway from side to side. She glances at Hikarry, looking at her friend and wondering if she is enjoying her dance. She also looks down towards Arhur, her dear brother. She hopes they enjoy her final death dance. “Gah…” She gasps out as she continues kicking, as she keeps it up her neck being to hurt more and more. It slowly becomes harder and harder for her to breathe as the rope has fully got off her air supply. She stuck her tongue out as desperate attempt to breathe but no air would reach her lungs. She relentlessly continues to kick away. As she does her pretty little heels show themselves as she starts to blush and turn red. Erika could not deny she was enjoying this. She had dreamt of this moment for countless days. She once more glanced at Hikarry. Hoping her friend was enjoying her dance once more to Arthur. She could not see him well but she hope he was proud of her. “Ah…” She gasps again. Her struggles become less intense as her dance begins to slow down. Her kicks become slower and heavy. Her moans and gasps slowly die out. Erika feels she can keep going but her body no longer responds to her commands. She takes a final look towards Hikarry and Arthur, her vision becomes foggy as she smiles one final time, drifting off into a slumber. Hoping they enjoyed her dance. “Erika…” Says Arthur as he cries a bit, he was forced to watch his sister be executed before him. He enjoyed her final dance, more so for her sake than his own. But he felt a part of him died with her. He heard dripping, Erika had peed herself near the end. “Looks like she was a dirty girl. Now sister, I will do the honors for you.” Says Hiko as he mocks the now limply hanging Erika. He walks over to Hikarry but before he can pull her stool. “GARK!” Hikarry yells out, she kicked her own stool away like Erika. She was inspired by Erika’s dance to try and make an equally love show. As well to deny her brother the satisfaction of being the one to kill her. Hikarry unlike Erika has a lighter dress and a not as tight corset thanks to her smaller chest. The rope dug into her and pulled hard at her small frame. “Gah…” She moans out in pain. She starts to kick away like Erika. Her kicks showing off her pretty little heels as well as she desperately tries to find ground or some support to alleviate the pain on her neck. But finds no success. She starts to turn red as her kicking proves to be futile. “Ah…” Gasps desperately the princess, she started to slowly enjoy her dance like Erika did. But she started to control her kicks, trying to mimic a waltz like how Erika danced with Arthur. She was able to mimic it through the pain. Making small kicks as if she was following the rhythm of a song. She seemed to be truly dancing like the elegant princess she was. “Aw…” Moans Hikarry as she starts to enjoy her death dance. She had done a wonderful dance but now it was slowly coming to a end as well. As it became even harder to breath she stuck her tongue out. In a final desperate attempt to breathe in air into her burning lungs. But it was to no avail. Princess Hikarry slowly began to grow still and limp. As she found it harder and harder to keep kicking. Her vision became foggy and glassy as she felt tired. Hikarry then succumbed to a deep sleep. Wondering if she did a good enough job like Erika. Arthur growled angry as he looked down. Hikarry was dead too now. His sister and princess where dead and he could do nothing. Hikarry had like her sister peed herself at the end. As little droplets of pee fell from heels down to her floor. “Let go of him. He is no threat. Prepare to move out and secure the palace.” Commands Hiko as his guards leave Arthur alone with the bodies of Erika and Hikarry. He angrily refused to let this be the end of them. He grabbed a sword that had been left there and cut them down. “Please, Hikarry, Erika. Please breathe, please live.” He says as he attempts to revive them. And make them breathe again. “Please don’t die.” He prays as he keeps trying to resuscitate them and then he hears it. Labored but soft breathing. Erika and Hikarry are alive. “Thank the gods!” He says hugging both girls as he then quickly changes from his suit to the armor of one of the guards. He then placed both Hikarry and Erika on a cart and started to take them out of the palace. He looked as if he was disposing of their bodies since they were believed to be dead. As he was almost out, a guard stops him. “Halt.” “What seems to be the issue?” He asks. “None, just need to check the cart.” The guard looks in and finds the almost lifeless bodies of Erika and Hikarry. “Ah, disposing of her and her friend.” Arthur nods in response. “Carry on.” “Thank you.” Arthur manages to escape the castle and takes the cart as far away as possible from the palace and into the city. He then buys a carriage and spare clothes for them and food. Erika and Hikarry start to wake up and he tells them they have to leave or else they will all die. Like that three escaped the city and fled into the countryside to live in hiding from Hiko. As all believed Hikarry had been executed.
