[Episode 82] – It’s different than I imagined (2)

It goes back to before the masquerade ball started, just before changing costumes. When I opened the closet and looked at the ‘gray wolf’ costume I would wear to the prom, I smiled bitterly at the sight.

‘order…? No, it’s an outfit that only a prince would wear.’

A white suit decorated with gold thread and a gray fur cape. Plus a black wig and a wolf mask that covers the entire face. It’s true that I asked Hayley to wear a ‘male’ costume for the masquerade ball, but…

Should I say this is a bit excessive? I never imagined that he would be dressed like a prince like this. Since I was only going to wear it once and never again, I asked them to prepare it appropriately, but it seemed to be of no use.

“Your Majesty the Queen… Are you really going to attend the masquerade ball in this costume?”

As I was looking at the outfit with a bitter smile, the maid standing next to me asked me with a worried look. Well, even for a masquerade ball, there are no nobles who dress up as men or women.

But the reason why I asked for this ‘male’ attire is-

“Yes, if I don’t do this, everyone will recognize me and I have no choice. “No one would imagine that the queen would attend the ball dressed as a man.”

It was really to completely hide my identity. At the last masked ball I attended, there were quite a few people who recognized me even though I was wearing a mask and a wig.

When I first attended the masquerade ball, I didn’t have the same expectations as Titania. It would be a lie if I said I didn’t expect a little deviation from hiding my face and identity at the masquerade ball.

I attended the masquerade ball with such a pounding heart, but when I actually attended, I couldn’t even dream of such a small deviation. Even though I wore a mask and makeup, everyone recognized me as ‘Vivian’.

Obviously, Titania is the same. It was clear that somehow everyone would find out that Titania had dressed up as ‘Little Red Riding Hood’. Then wouldn’t Titania also realize a little bit of reality?

That a masquerade ball is not a good event for us to enjoy.

There were quite a few people who reluctantly agreed to attend the masquerade ball to make that known. Anyway, in preparation for dressing as a man, I began to change my clothes under the guidance of the maids.

However, crossdressing as a man was not as easy as that.

In the first place, the skeletons of men and women were different, and the maids never helped with cross-dressing. They say everything else is fine, but there was one biggest problem that hindered cross-dressing.

that’s the…

“Her Royal Highness, are you ready…?”

“Whew… okay.”

“Well, then, I’ll start on cue. One, two, three!”

Wow-!

At the signal, the maids began to pull hard on the compression bandage wrapped around my chest.

“Black…!”

Really, these needlessly large breasts were the biggest problem. In order to crossdress, it was important to tighten the compression bandage very tightly to make the breasts look as small as possible… but are Vivian’s breasts normal?

No matter how much the maids pulled, it just hurt like hell, and there was almost no effect in reducing the size of the breasts. Moreover, after rolling up the bandage, he started wrapping a large piece of cloth, starting from his chest and ending with his stomach.

The good news is that cross-dressing doesn’t require a corset? If a corset had been added to this, it was clear that she would have suffocated to death. I took a deep breath due to the pressure surrounding my chest and looked at my chest covered in bandages.

Even if I did this, I couldn’t completely cover my breasts, but wouldn’t this be okay? I nodded my head as my chest shrank to the point where I felt like it had shrunk. Compression bandages are useful.

Just wrapping my chest with compression bandages was exhausting, but the most important thing was getting dressed. In order to look as masculine as possible, something similar to a mulberry was placed on the shoulders, and high insoles were added to the shoes.

When I looked in the mirror wearing the prince’s clothes that Hayley had prepared for me, I saw that I had a fairly masculine body. My breasts protruded a little, but not enough to bother me.

By wearing such a short black wig and a wolf mask that completely covered his face, he was able to look like a short, teenage-like man on the outside.

Certainly, with this level of makeup, I felt like no one would notice that I was the queen. As I was looking at the mirror and admiring my makeup, the maids also looked at me in surprise and started snooping around me.

“I’m sure, at this rate, no one will notice that you’re the Queen Mother.”

“Isn’t it rather that the ladies fall in love with Her Majesty the Queen? “If you look at your attire, you’ll think you’re a prince from some other country.”

“Her Majesty the Queen! Her Majesty the Queen! “Can you please hold my chin just once?!”

When the young maid put out her chin asking me to hold it, I grinned and viciously grabbed her chin with one hand. The maids screamed as if it were a scene from a novel.

“Really, if I met Youngsik like this at a masquerade ball, I would fall in love with him at first sight. “The hearts of the ladies attending the ball today will be full of joy.”

After hearing the maids’ endless praise, I took off my mask for a moment and showed the maid, who was holding her chin, a very simple ‘coin trick’. A magic trick where a coin comes out of one’s ear that he showed to Titania when she was young.

When I took the coin that had disappeared from my palm out of the maid’s ear, the maid’s eyes widened in surprise at the coin magic. I looked at the maid and smiled.

“You can’t fall in love with me. “I can’t take responsibility.”

When I put the coin in the maid’s palm, she blushed and said, ‘How, how, how!’ and covered her mouth with both hands. The maids burst out laughing at my nonsense and poor magic.

In the warm atmosphere, I glanced at the clock and saw that the masquerade ball had just begun. I thought that if I left right now, I would be able to arrive before the dance, the flower of the ball, started.

So I put on the ‘wolf mask’ that completely covered my face again and announced to the maids that I would be heading to the ballroom. He ordered me not to call me Queen Her Majesty outside.

*

“Ha… Anyway, the song is Marzooka. I’ll decide the partner for you, so don’t cling to me until you start dancing. okay?!”

“”yes yes! Princess Titania!

As soon as I arrived at the ballroom, what I saw was Titania yelling at everyone in frustration. As expected, everyone seemed to recognize Titania’s presence even when she wore a mask.

As the spirits retreated from the surroundings, Titania lowered her head with an expression that looked like she was about to cry. As a parent, it was sad to see things like that, but I couldn’t help it because I allowed them to experience this.

‘By the way, Marzukara…’

Marzooka was a song that had to be danced by as many people as possible. Moreover, it is a song that constantly changes dance partners at every timing. If you think about it a little, you can see why Titania changed the song to Marzooka, a group song, rather than a prepared song.

‘Anyway, it’s a shame to have a very kind heart.’

It was clear that the spirits gathered around and asked Titania to dance. And the reason he applied for the dance was not because he really wanted to dance with Titania, but because he was pushed by his parents.

Titania, who noticed this, had no choice but to change to Marzooka, who danced with everyone. If you dance with Marzooka as the song, you can dance with as many spirits as possible.

‘I thought I had filtered and invited only good people…’

After all, if you wear a mask, will your true feelings come out?

It felt really bad to see Titania saddened by the greed of obscene adults. The moment I thought about whether I should call all the adults over after the prom and have them hit their heads-

“Uh, over there…”

A young lady with fairy wings, a green dress, and a green mask. A young lady who seemed to be around the same age as Titania blushed and held out one hand to me.

“Ho, if it’s okay with you, could you please ask me to be your dance partner…?”

“…..”

It was difficult from the beginning…

Usually, most dances were requested by Youngsik from Youngae. Roughly speaking, ‘Lady so-and-so, will you give me the honor of having my first dance with you?’ He says the dance request like this, and Youngae accepts it.

That’s why Youngae also asked me, ‘Can you ask me to be your dance partner?’ If the lady applied in return, I didn’t want to refuse because it would be a request at the risk of shame.

The problem is… I can’t speak right now.

I couldn’t say the application message to the young lady. In any case, you need a partner to dance Marzooka, and I was really grateful that the young lady risked her shame and applied for the role…

When I didn’t answer, the lady’s face began to turn red to the point where I recognized her even though she was wearing a mask. Perhaps he thought I had rejected him, but the moment he tried to take the hand away from me-

I held the young lady’s hand, lifted the mask slightly, and placed a small kiss with my lips on the back of the young lady’s outstretched hand. It seemed too polite to just nod, so this was the only way I could think of to accept a dance without saying a word. I saw this in a romance webtoon a long time ago…

Fortunately, the lady seemed to understand what was going on and nodded her head.

“I-I see… It was the concept of a silent, cold-blooded knight… Surely cold-blooded Dajeongsu is a trend among ladies these days… I guess you came here to find out the concept that ladies like?”

What, what? Cold-blooded ball? Dajeongsu? what is that…?

Leaving behind the lady who was telling me something I couldn’t understand, I quietly nodded. Then the young lady cheered even more and continued rapidly telling a story I couldn’t understand. After listening to it, it seemed to be a story about Titania’s favorite romance novel.

‘Is Titania also sharing this story with Viola…’

As a parent, I thought I should know something about what my child likes, so I tried to understand the unknown story the young lady was telling, but it was no use.

Because really, there wasn’t a single word I could understand. It was like listening to a foreign language. As I was blankly listening to unknown words like ‘gwanggong’ and other words, the song finally started to start.

As I held the young lady’s hand and went out to the dance floor, I saw Titania in the distance. Titania begins to dance while holding the hand of Yeongsik, who is dressed as a pirate. Even from afar, the headbutt was still there.

“Ah… a cold-blooded baller who has no interest in the other person until the end… you are the real one!”

I don’t know what’s real, but thank you for the compliment, young lady.

After exchanging greetings with the young lady at the right time, I held my next partner’s hand. And then the next partner, and the next partner, and the distance from Titania, who was distant, became closer and closer, and so-

I was able to hold hands with Titania, whose lips were slightly pouting. It looked like he was trying to control his facial expression in front of others, but I couldn’t fool my eyes. Even the wrinkled forehead behind the mask.

By the way, it’s been a long time since I danced with Titania…

‘I’m still very concerned about my body… I thought it would get better with time…’

Originally, I had no intention of telling Titania my identity. Otherwise, we can’t monitor it. However, the tempo keeps getting wrong as to whether he really wants to dance. A creaky body.

Originally, it was important for Marzooka to keep in sync with everyone so that when viewed from above, it gave the illusion of colorful flowers blooming.

However, Titania continued dancing roughly with a sullen expression as if she had no intention of doing so. Seeing my daughter like this in front of everyone, how could I not say something?

“Ha… I’m still bad at dancing. When will the headbutts be fixed? “What if this simple dance still stings?”

“uh? uh? Uh, mother..?”

When I spoke, Titania’s eyes widened as if she was surprised. When I saw that expression, I smiled involuntarily. Well, who would ignore my advice? I wonder who she really resembles… my stupid daughter.

“so? How about a masquerade ball? It’s not as fun as you think, is it? “Do you want to go home right away?”

“mother…”
