Alice walked around the walles of the Castle, as the guests for the Show were slowly walking in. To think that her Show got booked, to be performed in the old Castle at the Centre of the city. It was a dream come true. She could remember her first visit, behind those walls as a child. Hearing the Stories of the Knights and Princesses, walking this halls.
Even if it was just for tonight, she got to dress up as Princess, comanding the Castle, as if she was a real princess, well one with controlling parents, that only allow her guests in the park outside. But there was still an hour before she had to get dressed. Only for her to freeze, as she looked eyes with a girl in the park, that looked up to her.
She looked cute, at least from that distance, Alice thought and vanished from the edge as she noticed that the girl looked up her dress. So with a bit of embaressement did Alice go to her room and switched from her summer dress, to the prink princess dress, she got from Curator of the Castle.
Once the Dress was in place, did she check her make up and walked out into the Park, getting announced by trompets. "Princess Alice, current heir of our cities Castle." announced one of musicians. She threw a Kiss to the Guests and shortly looked eyes with the girl from before, as she walked towards the Stage.
"Welcome my dear Peasants, As you all heared by now, i am Alice and for tonight the Princess of this Castle. I am sure many can imagine, that it is quite boring to be a Princess, if you dont get married off to another kingdom, you have to sit around and wait. Maybe you are even allowed to study, but thats an exception, really. So all the fun, comes from jesters and the like. Sadly, i cant present one tonight, unless you want to call me one, which would cost you your head." She said to the laughter of the audience.
She then stepped next to armour of a Knight and leaned against it. "Thankfully, i am in my day job, a more than capable magician and even if tonight, goes something wrong, no one would go after a princess. Unless everyone here wants to see my head roll." she joked and pointed at the guillotine at the edge of the Stage. "Lets not go there tonight, but in that case, i would need a knight to protect me. Any volunteers in the crowd?"
A few young and older men lifted their hands. "Sorry, you all have to broad shoulders. Hey, you there, the one that peeked at my underwear, would you come here." She more demanded than asked. The girl followed the command. "Yeah, those shoulders will fit." Alice said and rested her head on the girls shoulders. "So whats the name of my Knight?" she asked and bit the girls ear.
She jumped to the side. "Reina" she yelled out and wiped the spit of her ear. "Come back. I wont do it again." Alice said and the girl got closer. "So, are you wearing anything under that dress?" before reina could react, did Alice grab the zipper and pulled it down, causing the girls dress to fall to the floor. "A top and shorts, really." The dissapointment in Alice voice was visible.
"To bad for our other guests, but on with the Show. Now that this dress wont get in the way. You are now my knight and you have to dressed right. Could you step closer to the armour?" The girl did as asked. Alice soon took the amour apart and helped in her vicitm into the Armour. "Its hot and heavy." the Reina complained. Alice sighed. "And i didnt even get you into my bedroom yet."
Before the girl could complain did the helmet land on her head finishing the look. "Can you do a few steps and a spin please?" Reina gave her best attempt at steps, but the armour really limited her movement. So two steps were all she could master. "Now spin." Alice demanded.
The guests watched the fight the girl had with the armour in silence. Mid spin, did she slip and the armour crashed into the Stage. Followed by sound of moving metal. The guests watched, as all the pieces of the armour came loose and started to either roll across the stage and land on a pile.
Once the shock settled could everyone see inside most of the pieces. What they couldnt see, however was the girl, that should have been trapped there. alice picked up a few pieces, trying to find her knight. Only for a hooded figure to grab her. "Noo, please" she begged as the figure dragged her to the Guillotine. Alice fought against it, but it was no use.
It didnt take long for her to land on her knees, feeling the wood restraints around her neck. She could her the blade being lifted a bit, then the woosh, as it moved downwards. Her world rotated, as her head hit the basket. The figure fished the head out of the basket and lifted it for everyone to see. Alice opened her eyes and stuck out her tounge.
Reina removed her hood and kissed the now bodyless magician on the cheek. "Okay, i think we all deserve a meal now, if my dearst knight could carry me to the Dinner hall." And with that did the guests, Reina and Alice head enter the castle. "is it okay to leave your Body outside?" Reina asked midway through her dinner. Alice smiled. "I freed myself already, letting you feed and having everyone wonder how i can be fine as just a head, is just more fun."
Reina leaned closer. "So how does it work?" Alice whispered. "Real magic. But i can put you under the guillotine later, if you want to find out." The girl stuffed the magicians mouth with a potato. "i would rather not."
