"Wow Kay, you've been working hard." Alice, the counter lady she met when she registered exclaimed.
Tow months have passed since Kaya has started taking on tasks from the guild, she can now properly control basic magic and taight herself to succesfully shapeshift, like changing her legs into a mermaid tail or growing wings, ears or a tail, but she can't shapeshift her whole body, only parts. Kaya has also learn't basic attacks without magic.
Kaya politely nods at her, Alice is used to it now since Kaya hardly ever talks.
"You know Kay, you should start wearing a mask or something that covers your face if you don't want others to recognise you. You have become real famous, jumping from F rank to C rank in two months. Many nobles wanna hire you and if they see your pretty little face, they might kidnap you or something." Alice warned.
'She's probably right.' She decided to look in her inventory back at home.
Back in her room in the South Wing, Kaya relaxes in her hot tub. "Hmm, full face mask? Nah. Masquerade mask?.. Naahhh.. Ohh! A legendary item!" Kaya pulls out a black veil with dark gold lining around the edges.
<The Abyss Veil
Legendary item
When owner puts on the veil, if people who know the true face of the owner see the owner with the veil on, they will not recognise the owner. Does not sway in the wind.
Dark magic is multiplied by 5 when owner wears the veil.>
"Well, this could work.." Once Kaya outs her bathtub back in her inventory she climbs in bed, quickly falling asleep.
tap tap tap tap tap, a series of footsteps come closer, immeadiately waking Kaya up. She doesn't sense any malicious intentions coming from them so she only controls the shadows with her Dark magic.
The people charge straight into her room, their hands filled with luxurious dresses and jewellery.
"Oh, the miss is awake. Get started. The Duke wants her ready by 5pm. Chop chop." The maid claps her hands and the others take Kaya into the bathroom. She doesn't bother struggling since their doing their jobs, and hey, a free massage.
The maids bathe her in rose water for an hour before scrubbing her body until it's slightly red. They give her a 3 hour massage then another bath. They finish with a thorough moisturiser. Kaya tries on a few dresses, some are pink, some have large bows or layers of ruffles. Simply disgusting.
The maids settle on a navy blue sleeveless dress with a slightly puffy skirt that reaches her ankles. Small diamonds are on the skirt making it look like a starry night sky and a beautiful pattern is embroided on the top part of the dress with a sparkly white material, adding to the starry look.
The jewellery is a thin, choker like rare mana stone necklace that enhances the charm and beauty of the wearer, a navy blue bracelet with a matching small tiara that held by Kaya's half-up half-down hairstyle.
After everything is done, the maid in charge leads Kaya outside of the mansion to a fancy carriage with the Dukes emblem on the side.
"Your Grace, the Young Miss is ready." The maid bows to the carriage.
"She may enter." A deep voice come from inside.
Kaya narrows her eyes at the voice. It's her-well, it's Kaya's fathers voice.
