(Five minutes before Amelia and Tayna confronted Leandra.)

  Tayna Dule and Amelia Dule just closed the doors to the hallway of the guest suites. And Amelia paused as she felt a strange energy return to her followed by the muffled sounds of groaning men coming from behind the closed doors.

  'Ugh!? Are they seriously not done? It's so gross that they are doing it in the hallways like animals!... You'll never catch me doing something so... so perverted—ngh!?' Amelia's inner thoughts were interrupt by the enchanted maternity dress as it worked on stimuting ctation and milk production within her now enormous chest.

  "I really hate this dress!" Amelia hissed quietly but her nipples said otherwise as they stiffened inside the holes. The only thing that was hiding her newly grown breasts were the thin strips of cloth, designed in the shape of flowers, that covered her nipples.

  The feeling of milk collecting inside the core of her breasts caused the young dy to gasp softly and bite her lip.

  'Why do my chest feel sore and hot... And why is it throbbing and aching for something?' Amelia was confused about what her body was going through. She's never felt so sensitive in her life. But then again, she went through a ridiculous "growth spurt" that made her go from slender to voluptuous in the matter of minutes.

  'I-It feels like my body wants to be touched... and squeezed. B-But that would be so embarrassing. W-Well, maybe just a little touch to make it feel better...?'

  "You say something, Amelia?"

  "Huh? Uh! No. Nothing at all!" Amelia stammered as she hurried to catch up to Tayna and they started to descend the stairs. They couldn't have wished for better luck as none of the guards seemed to be in this hallway for some unknown reason.

  "That's weird?... I thought there was a couple of guards stationed at the end of this hallway. Maybe they stepped away for a moment." Tayna said and then she looked around the corner and spotted the entrance to the bathroom that they had to sneak past the first time. "Whatever... Let's get back to the ballroom. We need to present the box of stolen jewelry to the Queen and the Major Houses. Amelia!? Wake up!"

  Amelia looked like she was daydreaming as another wave of pleasure hit her as the elegant enchanted bck dress started to pump her chest in all the right ways. Her hands were pressed against the wall, keeping her upright and the sudden wave of pleasure left her a little weak in the knees. Her mind fshed to a dirty fantasy about Ben that her subconscious wanted her to remember.

  'No... Not there... Ben!? It's filthy... Gah!? Snap out of it, Amelia! You're just being stimuted by this dress because of my bigger bosoms! I'm a proper dy, dammit!' The young dy's thoughts were interrupted once more by Tayna who had been shaking her shoulder and Amelia looked at her and blushed heavily.

  "Huh!? What? Oh yeah! Right behind you!" Amelia smiled and Tayna raised an eyebrow and then looked at Amelia's chest and saw that her nipples were hardening and poking out through the fabric.

  'Is this dress really made for nursing or some weird sex toy to turn on the wearer?' Tayna wondered. "You need to concentrate, Amelia. Once we confront the Duchess, we can get out of here and get you out of that thing."

  "Uh!? Oh. Right! Right! I think the enchantment is wearing—ohh-off! Yes, it is! I feel it fading." Amelia blushed. She was hoping that Tayna wouldn't notice the dress's effects on her, but since the curse was lifted from her mana vein, it was releasing enough Mana through her body, which in turn was powering the enchantment and giving her an intense pleasure.

  If Amelia knew how to control her mana vein, she would've been able to stop the enchanted material from stimuting her breasts, but unfortunately, that was a lesson yet to be learned.

  'Ngh!?... Not only are my breasts being stimuted, but all the shadows seem to be pulsating!?... I must be losing it... Grr!'

  Amelia used both her hands to sp her cheeks. The slight pain dulled the pleasure. "Alright! I'm good!"

  Tayna sighed and slightly shook her head, "I hope you are right."

  With that Tayna hurried to the double doors at the end of the hallway to the ballroom. She was putting on her game face as she mentally prepared herself for the duchess. Amelia was dazed for a moment but realized that she was getting left behind and panicked a bit before she started running after Tayna. She grabbed the skirt and lifted it up a bit so that she could run better and faster. She still wasn't used to her new assets, but at least she wasn't stumbling this time as her enormous E-cup breasts bounced in unison with her running. If anyone, including a man, was in that hallway at that time might have died and gone to heaven witnessing that sight.

  'Ngh!?... How do women with breasts as big as these run and not lose bance?! Gah!? They feel like they are going to pop out of this top... Just ignore it! Focus! Don't think about your breasts... Don't think about them... Don't think about how the silk feels sliding over your nipples and the sensation of it rubbing against them... Grrr! Why does this dress feel like it's trying to stimute my breasts and make me orgasm!' Amelia thought as she did everything not to moan.

  ***

  Fiona and her friends, Beca and Linda were standing in the corner of the ballroom observing Rya and her allies quickly turning everyone to her side. Even that pregnant Wolfkin was charming the younger girls to the Dark Elf's side.

  "Do you think the Major Houses will accept, Princess Rya as the future Queen?" Linda asked.

  "What do I care? As long as she isn't in the way of me humiliating my cousin, I don't care," Fiona replied.

  "B-But you saw what she did to Amelia! It's like the Dark Elf cast a spell to unlock some hidden beauty inside of her... Maybe it is unwise to cross her, Lady Fiona," Beca said with a tinge of worry in her voice.

  "Pfft! Whatever curse that dark elf cast on my cousin won't change the fact that she's talentless. And no matter how pretty she is, she won't change the fact that she beneath me in every way. I'll show everyone tonight," Fiona decred.

  "You are still going to go through with the pn?" Linda asked. "If the Ladies of the Court side with Princess Rya then Amelia will be—"

  "Her damn puppet. I may not like it, but that dark elf is far more cunning than I gave her credit for. Whatever she's done to my cousin, she's also done to the Queen. And I don't know what she's done to those babies but they no longer are crying. These women are eating up whatever the dark elf is telling them—"

  "Don't forget about those strange white cylinder things! All the dies seem to be cmoring over them!" Beca interrupted.

  Fiona grimaced, "Well, who knows what those things are. It could be a ploy to control us or something... However, what's worse is that the Queen is practically trying to give the elf her throne! I mean, look at her... She looks almost as young as us and she's 40 years old? The Queen must have sacrifice something to the dark elf to get her youth back! I heard a rumor that a group of orphans were found dead in the city of Aurelia—"

  "In the Divalo Domain? But isn't that the Duke's territory?" Linda asked cutting off Fiona who frowned at her for cutting her off.

  "Yes! But think about it. It makes the Duke look bad while draining those orphans of their blood... I bet that's how the elf made the Queen young again," Fiona said so boldly.

  "Lady Fiona, I haven't heard any rumors about some dead orphans, and I didn't see her using blood magic on your cousin when she started turning into a beauty—"

  "Shh! Look!" Fiona shushed her friend, Beca, and pointed to the side doors that just opened to Tayna holding a fancy dark wood box.

  "What is Lady Tayna holding?"

  "Shut up! Amelia is my priority. Now, where is..." Fiona trailed off and both her friends looked dumbfounded when a striking young wearing a gorgeous bck dress with golden trim and had the House Dule neckce around her neck. This woman had a strange sense of authority for blushing so much.

  "She's... so beautiful," Linda gasped.

  "Wait!? Is that Lady Amelia?" Beca asked in disbelief.

  Fiona scowled, as her cousin looked far more attractive than most of the girls combined. The only woman that could compete with her was Tayna, Nieren, Dalia (when not pregnant), and that young Half-Elf, Eine. And the only ones who could rival her was Rianna, Yuliana, Hilda, and Rya. Amelia has gone from boringly below average to pretty during the beginning of her transformation, to now being in a css of her own.

  Fiona's envy and jealousy fred at the turn of these events.

  "Yes... it is her, but... what did the Dark Elf do to her!? Why make Amelia as beautiful as the Dark Elf? Gah!? Whatever! No amount of beauty will change the fact that she has no mana vein! Come on. It's time for me to put my cousin in her pce," Fiona said as she walked with dignity towards Amelia, who was on the other side of the ballroom looking around to get her bearings.

  Fiona started walking and she hear the ccking of the heels from her shoes only and after a few more steps she stopped and turned around to witness her two friends frozen in pce.

  "Why aren't you following me?" Fiona asked them, but all her friends looked at her then back to Amelia.

  "I... I don't know if it is a good idea to challenge your cousin... She seems different..." Beca stated as her instincts were telling her not to go over there.

  "Yeah, I have to agree with Beca, my dy... Your cousin seems more... More something, and I am not sure what. She has the backing of the Dark Elf and she might have bestowed some dark powers with her newfound beauty," Linda added as the hairs on the back of her neck were standing on end. She felt the same thing when looking at Rya for the first time.

  "Hmph! Fine! I'll go alone," Fiona huffed and stormed over towards her cousin, who was surprised by everyone else's reactions of her.

  ***

  Amelia Dule was looking around the different groups of women closest to her and they were talking amongst at first until they spotted Tayna and then her. Some of them nearly fell over from doing a double take.

  Amelia noticed a group of girls near her age who were looking her way in utter shock and awe. Is was so different from the usually annoyance or apathy the nobles usually dispyed when they looked her way.

  Amelia took a deep breath and then made her way towards Tayna who was walking to the Duchess in the center of giant ballroom.

  As Amelia followed after Tayna, a wave of murmurs spread across the room. All eyes were on her. The nobles couldn't help but stare at the new Amelia, who was now more beautiful than many of the girls at the party. They even stepped back to give her space to walk by.

  'Just keep walking. I know this is awkward and I can't stop swaying my hips.. But I will say that this is so much nicer than leered at and mocked.'

  As the crowd parted, she was halfway to her destination. Tayna was about ten feet ahead of Amelia when all of a sudden she heard the heavy footsteps of someone coming from the left of her.

  Amelia stopped and turn to see her cousin, Fiona heading straight for her. Normally, this would have caused great dread and fear in her, but instead Amelia was filled with as strange sense of calm and confidence. It was foreign to her.

  She wasn't scared of what her cousin anymore and it showed on her face as she turned to Fiona.

  'What does she want now?'

  "Amelia!" Fiona shouted in a shrill tone and walked up to her cousin, looking at her in disbelief.

  Amelia looked at Fiona and saw the same sneering, haughty look that her cousin always had. It was almost funny to her now.

  "You think you're better than me because the Dark Elf changed your appearance?! You're nothing but a weak little mouse and will always be nothing! Do you understand? You're beneath me, so why don't you just slither away and hide under a rock like the rodent you are!"

  All the girls that were standing around them backed away and Tayna stopped when she heard Fiona insulting her sister-in-w. This wasn't the normal affair when Fiona would insult and belittle her cousin and they would find it entertaining. Instead, there was an ominous and Amelia looked like the one in control and not Fiona.

  Tayna thought she might need to help Amelia, but she noticed how her demeanor was now. She knew her sister-in-w was finally gaining confidence and she didn't need her help to deal with Fiona.

  A few moments passed and no one said anything. Amelia stared back at her cousin, unflinching. The room was silent, and all eyes were on the two girls.

  Finally, Fiona spoke, her voice dripping with venom. "I'm talking to you, peasant!"

  "It that all you have to say to me, cousin? Because I have more important things to attend to than listen to your childish insults," Amelia said as she turned and walked towards the Queen and Duchess.

  Fiona was taken aback, her jaw dropping. How dare Amelia dismiss her like that?!

  "You think you can run away!?" Fiona screeched and ran over to grab Amelia by her hair, but instead, when she was inches away from getting her cousin. Fiona's body froze in pce as it felt like something was wrapping around her body and constricting her. She couldn't even speak. Amelia slowly turned to her cousin and her irises had turned bck as night.

  'What the hell is Fiona doing?... Is this her idea of intimidating me?' Amelia thought as her Shadow Magic was still acting on instinct.

  All the other girls didn't know why Fiona was just standing there like a statue. They started to snicker and ugh at her odd behavior.

  "Did she get mesmerized by Amelia's new found beauty? Is she not into men?" Brynhildr Valerian chuckled to her friends.

  "Maybe she's a lesbian!" Nelea Marlowe giggled and they continued to whisper back and forth.

  "For her cousin? Gross? No way! Amelia is so above her league now that it's not even funny," Victoria whispered to her group.

  "Plus Amelia has always fawned over men and I never seen her look at a woman the way she does for tall guys," Cecelia commented as she took a sip of her tea.

  Fiona was panicking. She had no idea why her body refused to move and breathing was getting more difficult.

  Tayna was the only one who wasn't poking fun at Fiona's expense because she was the only one who noticed Amelia's irises turning bck. That's when she saw Amelia's shadow wrapping around Fiona's shadow in an unnatural way.

  'Hold on!? Amelia has a mage vein!? I-I think that's shadow magic? But isn't that a rare magic only a demon can use? How is this possible?' Tayna thought to herself.

  Amelia didn't know what to make of Fiona and soon her attention was drawn back to Queen Rianna who was pacing around Leandra, accusing her of lying to the Court.

  The daughter of a Major Noble House sighed and looked back at Fiona one st time as she looked like her face was turning blue.

  "I hope this was worth of, Fiona. I have something more important to do," Amelia said as bck in her irises faded back to normal and her Shadow Magic released her cousin, and Fiona gasped and fell to her knees, coughing and gasping for air. Amelia's shadow return to normal as she walked away. The dies around them would have asked what the hell happened if they weren't focused on the Queen and Duchess their conversation was almost a yelling match.

  Tayna shook her head to make sure her eyes wasn't pying tricks on her.

  "Huh? Is something wrong, Tayna?" Amelia asked her.

  "N-no. Just... nevermind. It looks like the Queen has the Duchess on the ropes. We should put in the final stake and finish her, right?" Tayna smiled, shaking her head.

  Amelia saw the major pyers of the Ladies of the Court gring at the Duchess. Amelia saw her mother in that group with a panicked look on her face. She couldn't help but feel oddly calm still and she wanted nothing more to make Leandra squirm for all the times she's made her and her mother feel lesser than her.

  "Yes, I agree. It's time for the Duchess to answer for her crimes."

  With that Tayna and Amelia strode up to the Ladies of the Court. When they reached the circle of death Rianna was in her final rebuttal and the Duchess was struggling.

  "I'm willing to give the rest of you a chance to change your loyalties. If Leandra is capable of poisoning her own sister-in-w, think about what she could do to any one of us. She's not above maniputing and using her fellow women for her own gains. I bet she's hiding things from all of you," Rianna said with an air of authority that made her a good leader.

  Leandra looked like she regained some composure and was about to speak when Tayna yelled.

  "Expin yourself, Duchess!"

  All the Ladies of the Court turned towards the two girls. Most of them were curious while Leandra went from furious to panicked within a second when she saw the rge jewelry box in Tayna's hands.
