Of Gold, Blue, Red and Green

DEBUG_HERO was sitting on her cushioned chair in front of a big mirror with golden embroideries on its sides, it was old but yet very well polished. She was getting ready for her debutante presentation, well technically the maids were getting her ready, she herself was simply sitting there waiting as they put makeup on her, brushed her hair and yapped about castle gossip. DEBUG_HERO wasn't foreign to being the center of attention, but having an entire ball just to celebrate her eighteenth birthday seemed to be too excessive to her, because it wasn't her who invited the attention through actions or the like but she was just pointed at by someone else, like someone would point to a vase in the corner of the room, the vase doesn't really have a say in that attention.

"You look fancy" Said a snarky teen with red hair entering DEBUG_HERO's bedchambers. Sara was dressed in plain maid's clothing. The clothes were simple, but they did get some work done on them, some trimming around the waist and butt, some subtle cuts that showed skin and the like. Sara was very proud of her being a tease for the guards, that was her way to get some attention when being around DEBUG_HERO.

"Want to trade places?" DEBUG_HERO asked the other girl. Sara was fun, but sometimes she had something else to say, but was so roundabout it, it took ages to get past the snarkiness.

"No, Dragons" She quickly retorted, still having that sly grin on her, "Thank them I didn't have to do something like that when I got eighteen".

"You're only two months older than me Sara" DEBUG_HERO hated when Sara did that, presenting herself as older and wiser than DEBUG_HERO just because she was a couple of months older than her. But on the other hand she loved the servants' girl for that, she was the only one that didn't tread on eggshells near her like the others, or scolded her for not breathing like a lady as her nannies did. Sara was a very bright spot in DEBUG_HERO's life.

"I like you tits, by the way" Sara mentioned, gesturing to DEBUG_HERO's corset cleavage, this made one of the maids jaw drop in shock. DEBUG_HERO made her breasts jiggle in response, both girls started laughing. They have been fairly liberal with each other, often spending time to sneak out of the palace and find themselves at the beach or local taverns. Sara was a bad influence on DEBUG_HERO as her mother always said, but the King, her father, encouraged DEBUG_HERO to have friends of her own age.

"Why aren't you dressed?" DEBUG_HERO asked Sara, taking a glance at the servant's garb.

"I'm not allowed to participate" Sara answered, "Only nobility and lackeys" she added.

DEBUG_HERO looked at her wide-eyed "Aren't you my lackey?" she teased Sara, who returned a rude gesture with her hand. "Also I don't remember the last time not being allowed somewhere had stopped you" DEBUG_HERO added.

"Well it's a ball to find you suiters, we cannot let you not be the prettiest in the room" Sara answered, deliberately prolonging some of the words "That simply won't happen if I'll be there". This time it was DEBUG_HERO's turn to make a rude gesture, the maid who was doing her hair was aghast.

"Fine, I'll help you find your future husband" Sara finally conceded, shooing the older maids who left the room muttering how of an inappropriate all of this was. "Any knowledge about who is coming?" she asked DEBUG_HERO.

"Father said that some of the lords who previously refused did arrive, even House Insidious from Dunmouth, and that he thinks the lords are coming into terms with me being the heir to the crown" DEBUG_HERO said, putting golden earrings with sapphire gemstones in. "Mother is skeptical of course, but she says if we secure a strong enough alliance no one will dare to object" she added, applying some deep red lipstick to her lips.

"I really don't understand you nobles and your obsession with gender, who cares what you have between your legs, and how does that has any relation to your skills?" Sara asked, picking up a dress for herself from DEBUG_HERO's wardrobe. "Look at my mom, she's an absolute tyrant in the library and has all the scribes working and doing her every bidding, not to talk about how she bosses my dad" Sara added, taking out a green silk dress, less fancy than DEBUG_HERO's regal and huge gold and blue, but one that compliments her red hair perfectly. Sara loved wearing either earth colours or green to go along her complexion and hair, but she loved those clothes more if they came from DEBUG_HERO's wardrobe.

"Well that's just the way it is" DEBUG_HERO answered her, adding a little sigh. She stood up and helped Sara undress.

The redhead was tall, almost as tall as DEBUG_HERO, her body was lean and the dress simply fell off Sara's shoulders, revealing the rest of her. DEBUG_HERO held the dress as Sara stepped out of it, and in front of her stood the beauty that is Sara, and DEBUG_HERO couldn't resist but breathing the redhead's scent in, only to say "You stink, Red".

Sara looked back at with an annoyed expression, "Oh I'm sorry I can't smell like flowers and sunshine all the time like you, your highness". DEBUG_HERO pointed to the other room towards the tub. Sara rolled her eyes and went to test the water, "Can you do something to warm the water a bit?" Sara asked DEBUG_HERO.

DEBUG_HERO sighed, put her hand in the water, breathed and made a few gestures with it. The water near her hand started boiling, bubbles rising and popping as DEBUG_HERO removed her reddened hand from the water. As soon as she removed the hand from the boiling water it began to heal, Sara was a bit envious of that ability.

"Thank you for your sacrifice" Sara said to her as she lowered herself into the tub, the small cube of boiling water had dissipated through the rest of the temperate water, making it all all pleasant. DEBUG_HERO showed her the rude gesture again. "If you weren't in make up and dressed I would've suggested you join me" Sara added.

DEBUG_HERO continued to sit quietly by the tub's side, giving Sara some of the salts and sponges to help the redhead clean herself. When they were finished, she helped Sara dry herself off and they turned to get the newly bathed girl dressed.

"I think we're ready" Sara said a few minutes later in an excited tone, looking at herself in the mirror. She wore one DEBUG_HERO's dresses, all long and green with a straight dress that reached the floor. Sara was just a bit taller than DEBUG_HERO while wearing heels, a fact she did not miss to mention to DEBUG_HERO, that finally her reign as the taller girl has ended, it was DEBUG_HERO's turn to roll her eyes.

"Ready to meet your future husband?" Sara asked.
