Chapter 10

The Wandering Girl

With decks shuffled and the life points set the duel got underway with both duelists drew their opening hands and fanned them out in their left hands. While in the crowd, Matsumoto sat with her bag between her feet and took out the millennium mask that she held firmly in her hands when Chiyemi saw the mask and said,

"Wow Matsumoto is that your mask?"

"It is and according to someone I met last night it is one of the millennium items" replied Matsumoto while she leaned forward and watched the duel start with a worried look on her face.

Within seconds Crush said in a dark tone,

"I draw and summon Dominatrix Red in attack mode (ATK/1300) and activate her effect that allows me to add one Dominatrix Yellow to my hand from my deck" she explained when she took a Dominatrix Yellow from her deck and added it to her hand before shuffling her deck and continuing with her turn.

"Next I place 1 card face down and end my turn" said the confident woman when the duel went to Mr. Yasuo for the first time in the duel.

Meanwhile in Daguerreo, King Arch and his queen was resting peacefully before there was a large bang on the castle doors that woke them up and awoke from their slumber and went to see who it was. When King Arch's servants opened the large wooden gate like doors stood in front of King Arch, stood a young girl standing with her feet covered in blisters and blood as Queen Rydia appeared and saw the state of the young girl.

"Marie, can you come here please?"

"Yes my Queen, how can I help you" she replied while stepping forward from behind her" said the maid.

"Marie, please take this young lady washed and clean her wounds" she said from behind her mask.

"Yes my queen" replied Marie when Amber and Ebony appeared and help carry the young girl to the bathroom.

"My queen, why did you allow that girl into the castle?"

"Because my king, we are not tyrants and plus she was hurt and needed our help" replied Queen Rydia.

"Ok my queen you are right" replied King Arch when the two walked back into the castle and their servants shut the doors.

While in the large marble covered floors of the bathroom, Marie poured some hot water into the tub and did this several times before she turned to the young girl and said,

"What is your name my child?" she asked.

"I am Amy" said the young girl.

"Nice to meet you Amy" said Marie when she kneeled down to take a look at Amy's blistered and bloody feet.

While looking at Amy's sore feet, Queen Rydia walked into the bathroom and looked at Amy and Marie and said,

"Welcome young lady to my castle" she said with a smile on her face.

"Thank you my queen, I always knew that you and your king had hearts" replied Amy.

"What is your name child?"

"Amy, my queen" she replied while Marie was looking at her feet.

"Well Amy, we have a room for you" replied Rydia.

"Thank you my queen, but may I ask a question?

"Yes my dear what did you want to ask me?"

"Well the last time you came to the town, you didn't wear a mask but now you are why is that?" asked Amy sitting on a red velvet seat.

"That my dear is none of your concern but if you truly want to know then I will take you tomorrow. But now get cleaned up and join us for dinner" replied Queen Rydia when she walked out of the room. When Queen Rydia left the room, Marie said,

"Right then shall we get you into the tub?" she said when Amber and Ebony took Amy's hands and helped her over to the tub.

Sometime passed and Amber, Ebony and Marie helped Amy out of the tub and covered her body in large white towels with the royal symbol on them and led her to her own room. It was large with a queen sized four posted bed draped in crimson red sheets and blankets. On one side of the room, stood a large solid looking pine wardrobe with large full length mirrors on the insides of the doors while on the other side of the room was a dressing table with a large gold rim around the edges with small jewelry boxes on both sides of the table itself.

Amy couldn't believe that this was her room while standing dripping wet through with only towels wrapped around her young womanly body.

When Marie and Amber helped her into the room Amy walked behind a screen and dropped the towels around her body and then her hair that released her long golden blonde hair. When she was completely dry, Marie walked over to the large wardrobe and pulled the doors opened and removed a beautiful crimson colored evening dress with fine Victorian lace and handed it behind the screen. Within a few minutes Amy pulled it over head and down over her body before stepping out from behind the screen. When Amy had re appeared from behind the screen, Marie walked up behind her and pulled the zipper up the back of the dress and in one swift movement it was fastened. With the dress now fastened, Amy sat down on the side of the bed and Amber and Marie carefully dried her feet to reveal the damage done to her feet. When Amy's feet were fully dried, Marie took some special cream and carefully applied it before Ebony took over with her high quality first aid skills and wrapped clean white bandages around Amy's feet starting just above the ankle and then began to work her way down around her ankle leaving only her heels showing before tying the ends of the bandages into a neat bow.

After Ebony had tied the bandages neatly around the top of Amy's ankle, Marie said,

"Now Amy, have you ever tried on a corset?"

"No Marie I haven't, why do you ask?" replied Amy confusingly.

"Now that you are in that dress then this will go perfectly with it if you would like to try it" replied Marie while holding the corset in her hand.

"Yes please I would like to try it, oh and thank you Ebony for your medical skills" replied Amy.

"You're welcome Amy" replied Ebony.

Just then Marie unfastened the clips on the front of the corset and told Amy to take a deep breath while Amber took the corset and was able to fasten it together while Marie took the laces and pulled them tight before tying them into a tight bow when Amy breathed out. When Amy breathed out she turned to the mirror and was stunned by how she looked like a super model but when she turned around and there was Ebony holding out a pair of long red gloves that matched her dress she had on when she took them off Ebony and pulled them up her arms and fastened them.

The final part of the evening attire was the shoes but because of the bandages, Marie, Amber and Ebony struggled to get any heeled shoes on but then Amy saw a pair of open heel like sandals that she easily slipped her bandaged feet into and now she was ready to have a meal with King Arch and Queen Rydia.
