<div style="text-align: center">Ellanore wasted no time the moment she got up. The servants were already in her chambers, preparing the bath for the Princess, with make up ready and for the first time in a while, Ellanore wouldn't mind getting up. She even hurried with a bath and hair, usually one things that take the most of her time is getting her hair done, but given how quickly she was breezing through the process, hair was already dry. She decided to tie her hair up in a elegant bun. The make up wasn't even too much, just a cat styled eyeliner, lashes were done and her lips red as always. She immediately shooed them out when she put on her lingerie and Alissa pushed through with a laughter as she saw them like livestock running to freedom while she held red dresses as Ellanore expected.<br/>
<br/>
"Wow, you weren't joking when you said less formal. I can see more of you with less finery." she commented when she saw that even her pick with jewelry was minimal. Princess usually wore extravagant things, much like the Queen herself, but Alissa could tell that Ellanore was yearning to be looked past that. Ellanore clearly wanted to be seen as a woman, rather than a Princess.<br/>
<br/>
"Are you saying it isn't good?" she asked as she stood in front of the mirror and sighed, clearly doubtful about herself. Alissa had a questioning look on her face as she looked at Ellanore's expression. Blessed with genes of her beautiful parents, Ellanore had no moment when she wasn't a type of beautiful. She had an amazing body that would please even the pickiest. Filled and narrow in the right places. It's Varus to blame for such self doubt as Ellanore looked at herself in the mirror with a scowl, as if she felt like she wasn't enough. It has to be.<br/>
<br/>
"Hey, I told you, if you weren't my lifelong friend..." Alissa said with a big grin on her face as Ellanore turned to her and tossed a small earring at her playfully.<br/>
<br/>
"That's not funny!" she protested as Alissa began showing the dresses.<br/>
<br/>
"Just calm down, you're far too much on the edge today, I don't want you passing out." Alissa showed off the dresses until quickly Ellanore found what she liked. Alissa raised both of her eyebrows. A satin red dress with a corset that is tied on the back. It is tight all down to the knees, while the rest just falls to the floor and fives more leg movements. "Dressed to kill, I guess. Alright, come here."<br/>
<br/>
She helped Ellanore to slip into the dress, if people who preferred women had Alissa's job, they'd probably lose their composure. Alissa has seen Ellanore in almost every state: dressing into hot things, naked, after sex, anything. But given her loyalty to her, Alissa still enjoyed and had fun simply being around her. Ellanore stood in front of the mirror as Alissa wore a mischievous grin while tying her corset from behind, purposefully to tight, only for the princes to kick her in the shin and would redo it properly. All that's left were heels into which Ellanore easily slipped in. Alissa barely had a moment to take the sight of a rare woman in since she was once again pulled out by the eager Princess. The last time she saw Ellanore like this was when she was fresh in relationship with Varus. After that, it was all extravagance and spectacle. Less sex appeal and Ellanore in general.<br/>
<br/>
And on their way out of the royal quarters, they went to get the Queen along with them. Felicia wore a long dark blue dress made of heavy brocade and with rich silver floral design that needed no jewelry. Felicia looked at Ellanore in shock. "What? Change of style?" she asked as Ellanore shrugged, but Felicia smirked. "Don't let Varus know you're dressing like this while he's gone." both Alissa and Ellanore chuckled and the three slowly made their way to the training grounds.<br/>
<br/>
Once they have arrived, Victor greeted them. "We have seats for you, ladies." he guided them as Felicia smirked as Victor held nothing back and took on the responsibilities. Once the women of the royal family were seated, Donovan approached, kissing his mother on her forehead and took Ellanore's hand before kissing it.<br/>
<br/>
"You'll like tonight." he said with a wink, knowing very well what Ellanore's interests were and the Princess seemed eager to know. But as he stood next to Ellanore and Alissa next to Felicia, Alissa and Donovan stared at each other, clearly some sense of competition was there. While they were so similar, the two couldn't stand each other.<br/>
<br/>
Edmond and Victor stood closer to the ring where the two wolves would be fighting. "Wanna place bets?" Edmond asked almost enthusiastically.<br/>
<br/>
"I bet Ellanore came to see more than a fight." Victor said with an annoyed sigh, which caused Edmond to frown and look over at his daughter, who indeed looked different. If not, better than usually.​</div>
