Dorathea looked at Jazz from within the mirror. The girl in front of her was tall, but her back was hunched ever so slightly. She looked exhausted and no amount of powder could hide the exhaustion in her eyes.
Dorathea’s time as a model made her feel a very strong urge to scold Jazz and everyone around her for letting her waste away like this.
“You haven’t been sleeping,” she said, as she braided Jazz’s red tresses into elaborate knots. Ribbons were used to style it away into a caul of golden netting. Then she hid everything underneath a wimple, draping it over Jazz’s back.
Jazz blinked at her reflection. She squinted at her appearance, tilting her way this and that before she remembered Dorathea’s comment and said, “Oh. You can tell?”
“Your skin is showing all of the signs,” Dorathea sighed. “I’ll scold your attendant for you.”
Jazz laughed lightly. “Please don’t. He really tries his best.”
The door was knocked upon and Sam entered, wearing an extremely out-of-place black dress with a ripped up hem. She scanned Jazz and Dorathea’s traditional dresses before sighing. “Danny and the others are already ready. Can we go?”
Dorathea glanced at the bells attached to her wrists and ankles, and it was Jazz who pleaded, “Please don’t tell me that Danny and Tucker are dressed as jesters too?”
“I would, but I’d be lying.”
Even though Sam was standing in front of the open door, something knocked against it softly. Sam moved to the side, revealing Robin who peered into the room.
“I’m coming in,” his crackly voice murmured as he stepped inside and then immediately focused on Jazz, his masked eyes going wide ever so slightly.
The air chilled with the force of his power but neither humans seemed to sense it as the protector spirit stared at Jazz intensely. His golden wings spread out around them, a few feathers brushing against Jazz’s ankles. His white eyes glinted red, like lasers, and Dorathea quickly hid her shudders.
Jazz turned pink and looked away. Dorathea admired the way her moving blood rushed to her cheeks, even as she kept an eye on Robin out of the corner of her eyes, as he glided over to stand in front of her. “Are you ready? I’ll escort you to the party, Jazz.”
Jazz nodded and Robin extended a wing that she placed her hand in gently. Jazz gave a bow to Dorathea as Robin pulled her up from her chair. “Thank you for getting me ready, Dora.”
“Of course, Your Majesty. I’m honored to be allowed to host your debutante party,” Dorathea said with a smile.
She was extremely glad that Danny and his team seemed to like her so much and that she had listened to Sam’s advice in order to overthrow her brother. By doing so, she had gained the trust and alliance from the Ghost King and his family, giving her kingdom the opportunity to rise further in power by riding the coattails of Team Phantom.
Dorathea affectionately reached out to hold Sam’s hand, who accepted it with a smile and a shake of her wrist, making the bells jingle. In the distance, she could hear the roars coming from her people and the sounds of bells ringing accompanied with laughter in the distance.
Ahead of her and Sam were Jazz and Robin, both of whom were whispering to each other closely, their eyes focused on one another like they couldn’t look away. They leaned into each other and Dorathea couldn’t help but think that they were so very young.
She eyed the protector spirit that had attached itself to Jazz but didn’t voice her concerns.
They arrived at the door and she gave the attendant a look. He startled and then opened the door with the clearing of his throat. Jazz straightened and Sam let go of Dorathea’s hand in order to square her shoulders as Robin tilted his head, eying the watching crowd that fell quiet at their appearance.
Nearby, Dorathea spotted the Ghost King and the other human as they grinned and waved cheerfully. Dorathea and Sam were the only ones who waved back as the attendant shouted. Jazz only tensed further.
“Announcing the arrival of Regent Queen Jazz, Princess Dorathea, Lady Sam, and Robin!”
