[IC] The Selection

[SaraiRayne]

Echo sat in a limo that was making its way to the palace. She still couldn't believe she had been chosen to be a part of the selection. She breathed deeply and looked to a lady that sat by her. She had done her hair for her earlier that day. It was twisted up into a braided bun. Echo's palms became sweaty and she knew she was nervous. A million thoughts raced through her mind. But one was more vivid than any other.
"You aren't supposed to be here."
The limousine came to a halt in front of a pathway that led up to the palace doors.

Eden stepped down from the palace steps with a small delicate smile on her face as a butler opened the door for the princess and Eden held out a small hand in a lace glove for her to take. "Hello, my name is Eden. It is such a pleasure to meet you, welcome to our humble home. Please come with me and I will show you around." Her voice was just as delicate as she was as she continued to hold out her hand and wait.

Prince Leonardo was out in the courtyard sparring with Alex. The two matched each other's strikes with precision and grace. They were so engrossed in the fight that they didn't notice the small crowd gathering around the two.

[SaraiRayne]

Echo took the ladies hand and stepped out of the vehicle. "I'm Echo." She smiled shyly and released the ladies hand when she was out of the limo. "Thank you."

the princess - courtyard

Ana Lucia's limo pulled up to the castle and she felt a tightening of her chest, she had to marry the prince.
she couldn't bring herself to open the door herself, terrified of the big world she knew would be on the other side, compared to her relatively simple home.

eventually however, the limo driver came and opened the door for her. she took a deep breath and stepped out

The Queen - throne room

Chelsea sat on her throne in the throne room, awaiting both the arrival of her son and of the princesses.
she had a pretty good idea of where her son was but as long as he was within the palace walls she had no need to worry for him, so she didn't and simply sat, awaiting the inevitable.

[CallaLily180]

Eden smiled and bowed graciously as she moved on to the next princess and greeted her. "Hello, my name is Eden. It is a pleasure to meet you, follow me and I will show both of you to your rooms." She gently guided them closer to each other and started on the way to the palace doors. "You will have free roam in the castle, but if you need anything make sure not to lift a finger and instead call for me. I am always on duty."

[Animelover_princess]

Ana Lucia thanked the girl and then followed her over to another Princess. to whom she curtsied before following the maid, who was going to show them to their rooms.

as they moved she saw a group gathered around 2 people that she couldn't quite make out "pardon me, but what are they doing?"

[CallaLily180]

Eden slowly came to a stop as she nodded in their direction. "Ah yes, that is Prince Leonardo White and Alexander Gildone. Right now they are sparring. You will see them later today I'm sure." She said gently as she continued to walk forward at a slower pace.

Lydia sat quietly in the limo as it pulled up into the courtyard. Her parents scathingly parting words still echoed in her ears.
"If you are too stupid and incompetent to not get him to fail in love with you, you might as well not bother coming home you horrible disgrace of a daughter."
Lydia felt tears sting her eyes before she quickly wiped them away and exited the vehicle, her tiny frame feeling quiet small standing in front of the castle.

[Laggia]

Jack was walking down the hallway, towards the throne room to keep guard infront of it. * Im so excted that after my guard dudy is finished i can finally read my favriote book.* Jack had a smile on his lips thinking that and soon reached the front of the throne room and stood on the right side of the door guard

[CallaLily180]

Eden saw the arrival of another limo, she rushed over to it in the manner of Cinderella. As she got to it the butler opened the door and she once again held out a patient and delicate hand for the receiving princess. "Hello and welcome, my name is Eden. A pleasure to meet you. Come now, join me and the other princesses."

[Animelover_princess]

The princess - courtyard

Ana Lucia looked over at the prince again as the maid hurried back to catch a princess coming from another limo. the prince was a very graceful man, from what she could tell.

The queen - throne room

Chelsea saw Jack enter the room, as she had nothing else to do she called out to him "good day, how are you this day?" she leaned back as lazily as she could without actually appearing to be leaning back, she was sitting far enough back that she could actually lay against it but still appear upright.

[Dmessenger]

Prince Leo and Alex kept sparring with even more ferocity that it was shocking many of those in the crowd around.

[Laggia]

Jack took postion and stood upright as any guard should do. He was indeed taken a little aback that the queen asked about his day " Good day my queen, " He bowed his head a little to show respect towards the queen and took his head op again " My day is as anyday. I'm Happy to serve royal family as everyday" He really sounded like an asslicker to royality but it was his job and he did really enjoy it after all

[Animelover_princess]

Chelsea looked at him for a few seconds after he said that then nodded "good"
she looked back at the front doors and muttered "i hope this day is over soon"

[XxLyraxX]

Lydia smiled shyly at Eden. She blushed when she realized that she hadn't curtsied yet, as her parents has ingrained in her from a child. She hurriedly dropped into a curtsy, cheeks bright red in embarrassment. "It's very ice to meet you." She replied shyly.

[SaraiRayne]

Echo turned to the girl who had referenced the prince earlier. "Hello," She stuck her hand out politely and smiled. "I'm Echo, you would be?"

Eden nodded and gave her an elegant curtsy to follow as she glanced to the others. "Would you like to come and greet the others?"

[Laggia]

Jack returned to look streight forward with his back facing towards the wall but still a little two centemeters away from touching it. He stood upright with his weapon on the right and his sword on his left

[Animelover_princess]

Alluria gently took the girl's hand, shaking it lightly "it's very nice to meet you, I'm Alluria, where are you from?"
