[meanwhile Oktavia had taken a deep breath, and held up her conductor's baton, and the concert began. She soon letherself slip into the music, full of feeling, the movements coming naturally. Finally the lyrics she was singing along in her mind escaped from her mouth into her voicce and accopanied the orchestra. Everyone was listening in with awe and appreciated. Such beautiful music this was, and her voice!] "Wow... [Ophelia murmured ] [She is wonderful!" [Gretchen beamed] But eventually the usic had to come to an end. They were greeted by cheers and applause. Oktavia blinked, a bit abashed, but feeling so proud, so she smiled and cutrsied. "ah that was so lovely!" "I herad Lady Von Seckendorf had written that concerto herslef!" "Ad she conducted, and sang along with it?" "Well she is certainly talented! What a treat from heer tonight!"
[Marianna, in the meanwhile, looked like she was about to choke.]
...Oh, oh, yes, Lady Oktavia - Your singing was just wonderful! Ha ha ha...
[She mumbled, with a clearly fake smile pasted on her face.]
[Oktavaia looked at Marianna, and tilted her head. Why was Lady Marianne's eyes glanzed over like that, anyway? She could almost see a big sweatdrop floating above her golden tresses for some reason...]
...Lady Marianna? Are you all right?
[Oktavia whispered, while Ophelia sighed, looking quite handsome in her mannish garb.]
- Lady Marianna just overheard something that made her brain turn into pudding for a bit, I'm afraid. Just go and let everybody tell you how wonderful you are for now, all right, Lady Okty?
[Oktavia quickly looked in the direction of the room Prince Kyle and Princess Rillanne had disappeared to, and a frown came over her face.]
...So what happened!? Tell me, tell me!
- We will later, I promise! So just go up and the stage again and take the bow, all right!?
[Ophelia said with a wink. Oktavia sighed at that, but then she nodded, and went back on the stage with a big grin. Lord Keylsie had come to the front of the stage too, his violin in his hands.]
...You were wonderful, Oktavia!
[He whispered, his eyes bright - And then, they bowed together, while the audience cheered them on.]
[Lady Marianna, in the meantime, was starting to come out of the dazed state.]
........Dear God, is my cousin actually starting to develop some kind of basic level political sense? I keep wondering if pigs will fly next or something!
[And then, she sighed a bit as she sipped the herb drink one of her maids had gotten her.]
- Well, she's as nasty as ever, naturally, and I don't think for a moment she's actually planning to just let the poor Green girl be Kyle's mistress, but - Well, that's one way to avoid a big war, that's for sure...
[And in the meanwhile, Rillanne had told Kyle she'd see him later, and was now in one of the smaller out of the way dressing rooms, looking into the big mirrors.]
...And now, all I have to do is to let Kyle stew for a while, while the idea of making that woman his mistress implants itself in his head. It wouldn't be long at all before he realizes that he really doesn't want to marry her after all, right, Len? Not when he could marry me, and enrich both our Kingdoms...
[The blond boy next to her sighed, then, as he expertly redid her hair. The two of them looked so alike in the mirror, even now...]
[Meanwhile, Oktavia continued to conduct a few more songs until the actual conducter was feeling well enough to pick it up again.] afterwards she was talking haippily with Kiesle , the fluttery feeling in her again. Oh this was great, maybe they would even get their first kiss tonight... But soon Lady Henrietta,(hitomi's precedessor] soon join them, and Oktavia noticed her arm placed over Kiesle's .. As their chat continued, certain news was dropped] "Oh right, we have almost forgotten with all the excitement. " [Henrietta chirped] "We have wonderful news! Lord Kiesle and I are engaged to be wed!" [Oktavia froze at her words, her heart dropping like a stone] "..what?" "That is right! The wedding is scheduled for next month!" "Oh, er, yes.. congratulations..." [though she could scarecely believe her ears, when had those two been so close anyway? She kept a fake smile on[] "Congratulations, Kiesle, Hettie. I am, so happy for you two..."
[Lord Kiesle, in the meanwhile, was staring at Hettie like she'd suddenly grew two heads!]
...Um, Lady Henrietta? I don't think that's something you should just joke about like that...
[He mumbled, sweatdropping. Hettie laughed, then, her hand to her mouth.]
- Ha ha ha! Oh, Oktavia, you should have seen your face right now... You looked like you'd just saw a dragon fly over the castle or something!
[And then, she smiled at Oktavia again, and wriggled her eyebrows.]
...No, no, we're not getting married next month - We haven't even gotten engaged yet, if fact!
[And then, she sighed a bit, and looked at Kiesle, snickering a bit.]
- Though, on the other hand - I'm quite sure my mother would be very happy indeed if we, um, ever showed an interest in one another, if you get what I mean?
[Kiesle groaned, then.]
...Please, Henrietta - Stop that, all right? It's scary enough that my mother and grandmother have started to look around for "good matches" for me, whatever that's supposed to mean...
[Oktavia, in the meanwhile, was blushing up a storm, her mouth hanging open.]
......Lady Henrietta! That's not funny!
[But then, Oktavia blinked as Kiesle's words sank into her mind. Wait, so his mother and grandmother had started to look for brides for him already? So that meant...]
[She got even redder as she realized that if she ever wanted a chance to actually get married to Kiesle, she was probably going to have to talk to her mother and maybe her aunt about it - And she had to do it soon, too, before all the other girls got added to the list Kiesle's mother and grandmother were no doubt creating right now.]
[Oh, my. So now what? Was this the sort of thing she could actually write in a letter?]
[Well she would have to send a letter considering her mother and aunt were never around. But surely they would approve her her idea to be wed to Keisle! Their families were close, he was of very high standing, and he and Oktavia were childhood freinds.. So yes, it should be fine..." Then the captain of the guard and Oktavia's idol Sir Bruce approached. ] "good evening Lady Von Seckendorf." "Ah, Sir Bruce!" [ Oktavia curtsied, giddy with more excitement] "May I talk to you for a moment?" "of course" [he led her outside] "Lady Oktavia, I must discuss with you about you becoming a knight." "yes? You said there was an open position, and that you were going to bring it up with the queen about a recomendation for me?" [her eyes glittered] "Ah, yes, I have. However.." [he shook his head, looking regretful] "the request was declined. I know you are skilled and just, and I believe you would make a fine knight. But the fact remains you are a lady, and a noble one at that.] [Oktavia's heart syunk at that]
...Oh, Sir Bruce - I wish I had been born in the Purple Kindgom sometimes, I really do. They even have a Lady General in that country, from what I've heard?
[Bruce snickered at that.]
- Oh, yes, they do indeed - And General Armstrong is the match of any General in the continent, I do believe.
[And then, he leaned over to her, whispering.]
- Did I ever told you I met her once, back when she was a pretending to be a man and calling herself "Oliver"? Oh, the stories I could tell...
[Oktavia looked at him, her eyes wide.]
...You...You did?
[Oktavia's eyes shined, then. So maybe that was part of the reason Sir Bruce had agreed to teach her the ways of the sword, when everybody else she'd asked had just laughed at her, and called her a silly tomboy behind her back...]
"Indeed. I shall tell you more about it." [He patted her shoulder] "I am sorry though. For now,you shall just have to remain the way you are..." [he gave her an apologetic smile and her left. after a bit Oktavia sulked out to where the ball extended outdoor among the lovely gardens, including a pond and stream thta was said to flow form the ocean. She was fairly miserable now] "...hey.. you ok?" [ophelia slank up next to her, looking concerned] "I, couln't help overhearin... sorry about that." [She sighed, and wiped a tear form Oktavia's eye] "hey. just forget bout it. those knight, they dont know what theyre missin! So, theres always mroe chances, youre lucky like that. So dont, let this get you down, ok?" [Oktavia sniffled, and nodded] "..all right..." [she managed to smile] " thank you, Ophelai. You are quite, cool.." "ya bet I am! So, wanna dance?" [Oktavia nodded again and they join in a waltz together.
As they danced over the small bridge over the pond, Rillianne brushed close with her dancing partner, just the right angle... and gave Oktavia a shove , toppling her down, her skirts snagging on the railing of the bridge and tearing off, and she landed with a splash into the water. There was some] laghter form the crowd at this, especially from Rillainne. "Oh my, you sure are clumsy,Lady Vond Sekenforf! And your poor dress!" "You! Why you_" [Oktavia, red with emabrarsement, started to stand up, but froze as a strange feeling came over her. A numbness, then pain, especially upon her legs, she whined and started to shake.] "Oktavia!" [Ophelia jumped down beside her, her disguise starting to slip] "Whats wrong! Shes in pain! someone call a doctor!! under the ripped parts of her skirts she could see her bloomers, but it seemed her legs started to twist at an odd angle. a few Sclaes started to emerge on Oktavia's shoulders and face, and what seems like fins growing on her wrists and over her ears, webbign ebtween her fingers "What the hell...." As Oktavia's pained screams intensiefied She tore the bloomers and stockings off. the colorful scales now fully covere Oktavia's legs, which were fusing togetehr and changing form a bit into one limb, her feet melding into fins. Her whole lower half was like that of a fish. Oktavia finally eased, the transformaiton complete. People were gasping horriifed at the transformaiton, a few even fainted. ]
