[@LostDestiny][@Wolvena][@Mistress Dizzy][@Mistress Dizzy] [b][color=9e0039]Alexander[/color][/b] Prince Alexander sighed as he and his sister entered the castle. His sister, Sarah, glared at him for showing even the slightest bit of cowardice. "Calm yourself! You must show bravery while we are here. Do you understand?" Alexander narrowed his eyes at her. He nodded once. His sister nodded, and then spoke again. "Very good. Now, let us head inside." The two of them would enter the castle under escort and be in the main hall, awaiting the arrival of the other guests. Crown princess Sarah glanced around in a proud, formal manor while Prince Alexander did his best not to sigh with his sister around. He did frown though and kept glancing towards the doorway. He heard the king, their 'host' as he welcomed them all and began some kind of speech. The prince could only hope that he and his bride could at least be friends during their marriage. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [b][color=ed1c24]Emily[/color][/b] Princess Emily was in the main hall already. She had moved quite quickly, as much as possible, so as not to make her father or sisters look bad. She stood by the staircase and watched as guests had truly started to arrive. She sighed very quietly. She hoped that she was not the first chosen at least, and that whomever she had to marry was at least nice in personality. She dreaded being married to a stranger, especially if he was ill tempered or was simply not a great man to be near. She wanted a loving marriage, one that started out with the bride and groom already being in love. Sadly, that was not to be the case. She glanced around, trying not to look towards her father. She listened as her father welcomed the guests as they arrived. He was giving the usual speech that spoke of them being welcomed there, his hopes for an alliance, and about them all being one big united family, one that could stand up to enemies. She frowned and narrowed her eyes at her father, finally. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- [b]The king[/b] The king seemed to be all smiled. Although, some would suspect he was hiding something when he smiled like that. However, he was giving a speech. "Welcome esteemed guests, fellow royals, and family......" His speech, indeed, spoke of welcoming them, of them being family, and such. He would glance around at whomever was there so far, not really noticing any frowns or anything, at least not yet. He cleared his throat when his little speech was done. "You may choose whichever bedchambers suit you to stay in during your stay here. You need simply ask a servant to escort you down the halls. The gala shall be tomorrow night. Hopefully, my daughters will be paired with their perfect matches and we are, indeed, a truly united family. Supper shall be ready shortly, if any desire to sate hunger. If there is anything any of you need, you need only to ask. I truly hope you all enjoy your stay in my castle." He smiled...again.
