*Queen Constance was sitting on her throne and looked at her side, her husband the King was in his throne drinking beer and eating pork, he made a mess but couldnt care less, he just laughed and ordered more, then he squished her big and round belly and asked the nobles in the court why has his wife became so fat and ugly, everyone pretends to laugh fearing his fury if they dont, Constance just closes her eyes, she had to tolerate this misogynist drunk pig for decades now, she was forced to marry him when she was 15 and he was 32, she has been miserable all her marraige, her only hope was to wait for him to die of old age but she recently turned 73 and he 90 so at this point she even thinks he will outlive her, she tolerates the humilliation and waits for him to go to the banquet,not before forcing a kiss, she can feel his toothless mouth and stink to alcohol.
In the banquet the king is drinking entire barrels of beer while the royal dancers make a show to everyone there, their traditional dresses move with grace as they dance, after the performance Constance looks at Selina, Selina is one of the dancers, she is known for flirting with every noble man she meets with the hope of marrying one, one low rank guard gives her flowers, Selina forces a smile and waits for him to leave so she can throw them in the trash, Constnace feels pity for the poor guard, thinking he is decently handsome and is always nice and educated with Selina, after the banquet ends Constance drinks wine in her throne and is joined by Selina, they are actually goood friends
Constance: Any luck with the noble hunting? she smirked teasing her
Selina: Serve me the damn wine She said with her glass on her hand
They laughed and drank to forget their misery, Constance asked Seline why she doesnt give the knight a chance, Selina says she has no interest in a man who is not a wealthy noble, Constance rolls her eyes saying wealthy men are a lot but geniunely good men are really rare these days, Selina scoffed saying a good heart doesnt put food on a table or fill an empty stomach
Selina used to be extremely poor when she was a little girl, she got lucky to become a dancer but aware that once she ages and loses her beauty they will get rid of her and she will be back on the streets, to avoid it she wants to marry a noble and secure her life, still no noble is willing to seriously marry her, as a commoner they just want a temporary lover they cant get rid off.
Constance warned her that a marriage like that is a ticket to misery, she said her marriage with the king has been a living hell, Selina rolled her eyes saying at least she is the queen, the richest woman in the whole kingdom, Constance said money does not equal happiness but Selina responded saying being poor neither, at least with money you can live relatively well, they glared at each other and sighed, Selina joked bitterly saying if only they could be the other, Constance said there is that stupid cursed amulet that makes poeple swap bodies, they stared at each other for some seconds and ran to the room where the amulet was stored
They held the amulet and Constance explained now they need to say what they want, she started Constance: I want your youth, your beauty, your life, Selina i want to be you
Selina: Well...i want your obesity, i want your saggines, i want your elderly body, I WANT TO BE YOU, who cares about beauty when you are the damn queen She smirked and felt a shock on their bodies, Constance said now they should go to sleep.
The next morning Constance woke up inside Selinas body, she saw her small and modest room, she stood up and walked to a mirror, seeing her new young and gorgeous face she teared of happyness, she felt her new young and attractive body and twirled with a giggle, On her part Selina woke up in her new obese and elderly body, she saw the royal room and smirked, it was huge and full of gold, she saw the king sleeping at her side, it stunk of alcohol, he was going to insult her but she left him touch her and gave him wine, she knew how deal with men
