Naofumi: Wait a ball?? No I'm not dancing.

Raphtalia: But Master the Queen has requested you have the first dance with her?!?

Ladyfiction15: Oh come on Naofumi quit being a party pooper, look even Filo is dancing.

Naofumi: Of course she is! She's basically a child!

Lolz!

Queen's Party! Dress code??

No one POV

As expected the Queen indeed prepared the biggest festivities inside the castle. Everywhere there were candle lights, food, drinks, and music. Not to mention the dance floor was basically a sea of people dancing so

eloquently. It was amazing. It was nothing short of a ball. When Naofumi and his party reached the castle they were rushed upstairs to their quarters and dressed appropriately for the festivities.

Raphtalia POV

What ???!?! I'm wearing this?!

Raphtalia was standing in front of two hand maids, glancing at the dress they had prepared.

"Excuse me Miss Raphatalia ma'am but we need to you finish removing your garments. We have bath ready for you and so if you would please kindly finish undressing", said the maid on the right.

I think her name is Karen to be honest I quit listening when I walked in an saw this amazing ball hanging in the window of my quarters. To be dressed in that surely Naofumi would notice me. It has been 5 years and my features have changed some. I look more mature, not like I'm 18. I know he doesn't see me as a child, or his daughter, but I want him to see me as a woman. A single woman. As I stared at the gown I couldn't help but notice all the small intricate jewels it was adorned with.

I cannot wait to put this on!

"Raphatalia Ma'am! Please remove your sword and belt quickly we haven't much time to get you presentable"

"Oh I'm sorry! haha! Here you go." With my last pieces of clothing off I followed the maids to my bath and started cleaning up.

Naofumi POV

"Can't I just wear my normal gear? I mean the shield doesn't come off. I look ridiculius with a shield and dress attire", I said looking hand maids that were assisting me.

"Mister shield Hero sir, you need to wear this! It is not appropriate to be in battle attire for this event. We are celebrating not going off to war. I'm sure you have a skill somewhere that will change the size of your shield."

Oh, she is right, I could use the shield skill I got a while back. I slayed this oh monster called a grengad. It's speciality was changing its body to fit into and small place or large space to hide from enemies.. Apparently it's skill is a disguise. Yosh! I'll give it a go..

"Shield Summon, shield disguise minamismaline!"

Quickly the shield morphed into a leather brace, with the green jewel encased in a small metal shield. It hide perfectly under the sleeve of my tuxedo.

"There!"

Where was this when I first started out... wow it would have been so much easier to have gone unnoticed using this.

I looks in the mirror. Yup, I look ridiculous. What did they do to my hair. If I fix it now they'll just put it back. I'll put it back the way it should be when I get downstairs. I don't do slicked back. My hair is fine the way it is normally. I'll wear your silly tux thing, but my hair.. that's all me.

My outfit wasn't half bad. I mean it could use a little less color but they did their best to incorporate my green. I was wearing a black tux with a hunter green vest and tie. They even put a pocket swatch on it. Back home this would have been the perfect outfit to go on a date with.

Thinking of dates, I wonder what Raphtalia and the others are doing. What will she wear??

With that though on my mind I grabbed the black for my tux and walked out of my room to the ball.

Raphtalia POV

"Ahhhhh!"

"I'm sorry miss but you have to suck it in. These corsets aren't comfortable I assure you, but the end result is more than desirable. Why with your figure you'd land any man down there. Demi human or not, you are beautiful and they are well aware of it".

"Careful with the tail!!! Ouch! You can't just force it there. Just put a hole there for it to go through, Hell I'll put one there for you!"

"I, Raphtalia, wielder of the lights sword hereby order thee, decipher the laws of nature and cut a small hole through my target! Go Lights Edge!" With that a small circular light appeared on bottom of the corset and a hole was made.

"Shewww that's better! See not so bad"

Both maids looked at me wide eye, "we could have pulled your tail under miss..."

"Oh sorry, raised in the wilderness.. this is how I was taught haha..."

Well good job Raphtalia you might look like you have class but they know you don't. I don't know how I'm going to handle tonight. Gods help me!
