I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated

Chapter 383 - Fran and Dress

It has been some time since we experienced Becoming the God of Swords. Although it was already nightfall, Prime Minister Raymond met us on our way to the castle.

We, having not yet recovered from the shock of the test of "Transformation into the God of Swords," little by little began to regain our former fighting spirit. Especially Fran, whose mood, in general, easily changed from depressed to full of enthusiasm.

- We need to train even more! she declared solemnly.

True, from this phrase, the morale was more likely to decrease even more than to increase. This surprised Raymond a little.

- Something happened?

- M?

- Oh, okay. It's good if everything is in order. In fact, I have a request for you, Princess of Black Lightning.

- Request?

- Yes. Regarding the thank you banquet tonight.

True, if you think about it, the celebration of victory will not be limited to a simple party. Since the King of Beasts himself is returning, it is necessary to prepare for this appropriately.

It seems that the generals, having disbanded the troops that previously held the defenses on the border with the Bashar kingdom, are already on their way to the capital. To celebrate their triumph, the palace was about to organize a simple banquet.

Although I doubted whether disbanding the troops was the right decision, it turned out that fresh troops had already been sent to the border of the Bashar kingdom so as not to stop the pressure. That's what matters, then.

- Well, what about the banquet?

Are we offered to join? But this does not sound like a request. Are we being asked to ensure the food ingredients are safe?

Seeing Fran's questioning expression, Raymond hastened to clarify the situation. Moreover, he really said that he wanted to invite Fran to the banquet.

- No, the point is that there is a very specific reason for this.

- Which one?

- You are undoubtedly invited to a banquet, but this does not mean that you can come there just like that.

- What does it mean?

- This appearance is no good, you are required to attend the banquet properly dressed. That is, in a dress.

- Dress? What for?

“Well, frankly speaking, this is for Lady Nimei.

Raymond finally told Fran the true nature of the request. Apparently, he wants Nimea to be at the banquet in a dress. However, even after promising to attend the banquet as the representative of the Beast King, she still stubbornly refused to wear a dress.

She probably wanted to thank the generals not as a princess, but as an adventurer, as a warrior.

So that's Fran's way out.

“Maybe if her friend, the Princess of the Black Lightning, comes in a dress, then Her Highness will also grant it.

Clear. Undoubtedly, Mea is always happy when she finds common features between herself and Fran, including her preferences in fashion. Probably, she will not refuse to go in a dress with Fran.

- Okay, how do you imagine it? Of course it's not free.

Raymond offered what seemed reasonable to us. In addition, this event was not overly formal, and more should have resembled the drinking bout of a group of generals. That is, you don't really need to worry about manners. Moreover, you can eat as much as you like.

- Yeah. I realized.

- Agree? On a dress?

- Nothing wrong.

Fran quickly agreed, however. Probably tempted by free food. So Fran doesn't pay much attention to clothes. Therefore, she does not have both her favorite clothes and the hated clothes. What rags, what dress - all the same.

Although she would undoubtedly choose comfortable clothes that are easier to move in. But, for the opportunity to eat up to the dump, just wearing an uncomfortable dress a little seemed to her a small price. And yet, isn't it forbidden to take weapons with you? If I'm around, then certainly there shouldn't be any problems.

- So you are willing to come as I ask?

- Yeah.

- Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

True, we do not have a dress … But it seems that he understood this even before we had time to say it out loud. So he offered to lend us the dress that Mea wore a few years ago.

“Looks like a tailor won't be needed, it looks just right in size.

Raymond muttered, examining Fran's chest and ass as if nothing had happened. Although Mea is slightly taller than Fran in stature, the rest of the dimensions are practically the same. After yesterday's episode in the baths, I'm sure of that.

Frankly, they are both punt. I even feel a little sorry for them when they stand next to such a sex bomb as Quina.

So, wait, what am I talking about, Mea is still 15. Maybe there is still hope? Probably should be?

- Mea, live and be strong …

- M?

- Oh, nothing, nothing. Anyway, can you try on a dress?

So Mia helped Fran get dressed in Mea's old dress. And she was just shivering to the face.

- What a cute …

It is something! That's what I understand, my Fran! This beautiful, blue and white dress went incredibly well for her! While her regular Lolita armor dress was cute too, this classic floor-length dress looked good too! Like a real princess!

She wore a cute tiara on her head, and her hair was pulled back in a high bun. Sexy from all sides! Her usual hairstyle is of course cute too.

In addition, she received a discreet makeup. I thought that it would not suit her, but he was surprisingly not conspicuous. It seems that special persistent cosmetics and semi-beast perfume were used.

Even while eating, your makeup shouldn't be damaged. Half-beasts are much less restrained than humans, so that some kind of makeup is never between them and food. The girl in charge of makeup, from somewhere in a smooth motion, took out sweets and meat.

- A little awkward to move.

- Well, it's a dress. But it suits you, right? - I said.

- Truth?

So, we must not miss the opportunity to compliment her. It seems that my interest in girls is gradually returning.

- No, I would say to the spitting image of Snow White.

- Snow White?

- Yes. A famous princess from my world. The evil witch poisoned her with a poisoned apple.

- And she didn't even figure out that it was poisoned?

- No, in my world few people can identify poison by smell, except perhaps the most talented.

Maybe a specially trained person can understand.

- From the poison she fell into a long sleep, from which, fortunately, she was awakened by the kiss of the prince.

- A kiss that cures poison? Is it such a special skill?

And really, if you think about it, why did the prince's kiss awaken her? I have read this book for a long time. In addition, the original piece was an order of magnitude darker. Yes, exactly, like on TV I saw how the original was taken apart. I can't remember all the details, but it seems like the prince turned out to be some kind of pervert who is turned on by corpses.

- Yes. I don't fully understand it either.

- Hmm.

It would be better to tell about Cinderella. Although no, maybe there is also some gloomy original.
