Amber's voice seemed to echo inside Anna's skull, in a language she didn't understand. But nothing seemed to happen.
"Amber, what are you doing?" said the blue fairie who called herself Mikayla.
"They disrespected us," answered Amber. "We were going to play with them anyway."
The other two didn't seem to disagree with her, and now they were looking at Amber. She flied over to both of them, whispered something in their ears, then flew back in front of the two humans.
"You two have disrespected the fairies, and you must be punished," she stated.
But Anna didn't care how they planned to do that, she grabbed Princess Kyra's hand and made a run.
"STOP!" Amber shouted, and, to her surprise, Kyra stopped where she was.
"Come on, your Highness," Anna tried, but Kyra didn't move.
"It won't work," said Amber. "I've taken her will. She has to do as I say. And I say that you must be punished."
"Let her go! She didn't do anything."
"She is the one who brought you here, and you are the one subject to her. She is responsible for all the crimes you commit, and therefore she is owed the punishment."
"That's not fair!" Anna pleaded.
"It is just, by the laws of our Court," said Mikayla. "But the laws allow you to take some of the punishment for her."
Anna spit on the ground.
"This to your laws."
"That is another crime," said Amber. "Anna, dress down to your smock."
"No way! I'm not doing anything you say."
"Just as well. Kyra, dress down to your smock."
"Princess, don't!" Anna exclaimed, but Amber's spell was strong.
Kyra, without saying anything, unlaced her left shoe, then her right. Once barefoot, she took off her hood, undid her belt, unlaced her padded jacket, and took that off too. Then she got rid of her tunic and her hosen. Finally, she undid her breeches and pulled them down, leaving her just in her white linen smock. Since it was for travel, it only reached to her mid-thighs. Anna blushed heavily, seeing her princess dressed so sparsely. Kyra's face also grew more red, and Anna saw her tugging at the bottom of her smock, to try to cover as much as she could.
Amber turned to Anna.
"As I said, she's the one we will punish, unless you take the punishment for her. Anything you don't do, I will do to her. So. Do you want me to take away her smock as well?"
"No!" Anna shouted.
"Then you must get naked."
Anna wanted to object, but what was the point. With a huge sigh, she got rid of her clothes too. Shoes, jacket, belt, tunic, hosen. She felt the late spring wind on her body, as she stood in the middle of the forest, in just her linens. Then came her smock. She pulled it off with one motion, like tearing off gauze. Without thinking, she covered her chest. She felt her nipples harden from the wind.
"I said naked," Amber reminded her.
"No, please! Isn't this enough for you?"
"If you insist. Kyra..."
"No!" she shouted. She wouldn't be the one to make her princess go naked in front of a servant.
She drew a deep breath, dropped her hands, revealing her breasts to everyone, and started undoing her breeches. She let them drop. Great, she thought, as she tried to cover herself as she could now I'm completely naked, and these bunch of fairies are eyeing my body. But it was going to get even worse.
"Put your arms above your head, and stand with your feet apart," Amber instructed.
Knowing she had no choice, she obeyed. As soon as she did, the fairies were around her, no doubt working some magic. And soon enough, she felt something strongly grabbing her wrists from above, and her ankles from below. She looked, and there were vines, growing from the trees and the ground, tying her up like this.
It felt really vulnerable, to be tied up like this, not being able to move, on full display in front of her princess. And she didn't turn away, either. She was looking at her, her chest, she could probably see her hard nipples.
"Now, your punishment will begin," Amber announced. "Since your crime was laughing at our magic, laughter shall be your punishment as well. You will be tickled. You will be tickled until we decide you learned your lesson. Since we're not cruel, you will be allowed to beg all you want. But. If you say the words 'not me', we will stop at once. Those words mean you renounce your punishment, and accept that it is your princess that should be punished. If you say 'not me', then the rest of the punishment will be carried out on her. Do you understand?"
Anna gulped. Did they know she was incredibly ticklish? Did they somehow read her mind? Not daring to speak, she nodded. She closed her eyes, dreading the tickling sensation, wondering which part of her body they planned on torturing.
