[color=9e0b0f]Location:[/color] Ballroom
[color=DDB775]Interactions:[/color] [@Helo] Callum, [@Inertia] Auguste, [@Silverpaw] Wulfric
[hr]

[color=DDB775]”HELLO!”[/color] King Edin moved through the doors to the ballroom, [color=DDB775] “Ah look at my beautiful blonde-haired sons. Sons I’ve created.”[/color] He smiled upon them then gestured to Alden as he made his way to a throne to sit in, which was situated behind the princes. Strategically, he did not glance Callum’s way. [color=DDB775] “This is Albert. Remember him from years ago? Me neither but nonetheless he’s not dead  and he’s here to help advise us today.”[/color]

[color=9e0b0f][i] I have no idea why I am wrapped up in this nonsense… and Albert? Seriously?? Better than Aldoon I suppose… [/i][/color]

[color=9e0b0f] “It's a pleasure to make your acquaintances again young princes, you all have grown to be quite the gentlemen” [/color]

To Alden, it actually was nice to meet them once again. He remembered them well and fell into similar sentiment knowing they were being raised by such a vile man such as Edin himself. He simply had wished they had met under different circumstances. Little did he know why the King had set up such a ridiculous ruse like this to court his sons, and more importantly, why he was being wrapped up into this charade. But nevertheless, it should be amusing to see what outcomes would be brought upon. He had thought that maybe he could even have some fun, in his own cynical ways.

[color=DDB775] “Alberta it is more important than anything to find not only perfect spouses for my sons, but strategical selections if such could be made.”[/color] He said lowly, [color=DDB775] “As women are brought in, we must be picky. I know their hearts are fragile but we must not mind them. They are randoms after all. However, if they are royal, ugly, or not, we must allow them a chance to speak to the boys.”[/color] He pulled away and took a seat. He gestured to a nearby seat for Alden to take his. 

The first ten women were brought in with large smiles. They looked to be jumping out of their skin with anxiety.  King Edin grimaced as they were lined up. [color=DDB775] “The first two there.”[/color] He gestured to two girls in peasant dresses, [color=DDB775] “They do not belong.”[/color]

[color=9e0b0f] “Your majesty, if I may, why not let them get the chance to speak and converse with us first. They certainly will not be speaking to the boys, but it could be some sort of amusement for us to believe they have a chance. And who knows, they may surprise you. Afterall, I was previously a peasant before, and have I ever let you down?” [/color]

[color=DDB775] “Hmm.. Yes. Amusing if anything, I do agree, and one does have a sizeable bosom. We will need a closer look, for logical purposes.”[/color] He stood up, [color=DDB775]”My advisor and I will first speak to the girls before the princes state their opinions. Girls, come forward over here.”[/color] The women looked at each other before lining up before the King.

[color=DDB775] “You first.”[/color]  He pointed at the first peasant girl, [color=DDB775]”What is your name?”[/color]

[color=EEE26D] “My name is Edith… I heard so many wonderful things about Prince Wulfric and I simply would do anything for the chance to meet him!”[/color] The girl began to introduce herself but soon exploded into her excitement.

[color=DDB775] “And what have you heard?”[/color]

[color=EEE26D] “That he’s so eloquent with his words and romantic. He’s a real gentleman and oh dear is he even more handsome in person…”[/color] She looked over to stare at him.

King Edin scoffed, [color=DDB775] “Well all those things are quite obvious. He’s my son, of course he’d be good at everything. What do you offer to him? Why have you come today in [i]rags[/i]?”[/color]

[color=EEE26D] “This is all I have and can afford. I apologize. I have been told I am a very kind person and I can be a gentle and doting wife to Prince Wulfric-”[/color]

[color=9e0b0f] “If may interject, young lady, we appreciate that you have come and presented yourself here today. I am sure you are quite a… lovely and caring woman, but please, the princes are in need of a partner of equal standings. If you believe you belong, what can you offer Prince Wulfric do that the others can’t?” [/color] 

[color=EEE26D] “I... I can sing!”[/color]

[color=DDB775][i]”NO!”[/i][/color] King Edin waved her away, [color=DDB775]”You and the other girl in rags must leave at once!”[/color]

The girl burst into tears while the other girl put a comforting arm around her. She led her out rather hastily.

[color=9e0b0f][i] Just like the king. Crude and rude. He will never change [/i][/color]

[color=DDB775]"Moving on.”[/color] King Edin glanced over the other eight. [color=DDB775]” First one is wearing too much orange. I hate orange… The second girl is dressed a little too much like a prostitute. Hmm.”[/color] 

After a pause, King Edin declared, [color=DDB775]” These women are a terrible start. Please remove them all at once. They’re all quite hideous and clearly also delusional.”[/color]
 
[color=9e0b0f] “Now hold one, why not that one right over there. The one in green with blue eyes. Certainly one of the Princes would be interested in that, wouldn’t you agree?” [/color] As much as Alden wanted this charade to be over, why not learn more about the possible patrons of this kingdom? After all, Alden sensed something different about this one. Almost as if she had a demeanor of hatred behind that charming smile. This was a good opportunity to plan something, if his hunches were correct. 

[color=DDB775]”Ehhh.”[/color] King Edin’s face scrunched up as he tried to find something remarkable about the woman and failed, but Alden was his advisor after all, [color=DDB775] “Well, boys, do any of you fancy this lady in green?”[/color]
