What does this sign mean ￦? Ok back to the story.
"Now presenting your king and princess! Will the room please rise. King Francis and Princess Elena." The room stood and as we passed bowed. I would gag but I'm a princess. I sat at one head of the table and my father sat at the other side. Staring around the table I could see they chose only handsome men. After this dinner I am supposed to dismiss five and I'm pretty sure it's going to be easy. One of the guys picked his nose thinking I didn't see and I quickly cast him off. Two ate like pigs,using their hands and talking and I couldn't stand that. The rest were quite fair actually. One even had the guts to talk to me. "Cody." he said introducing himself.
"Hello. How are you liking the castle?"
"It's quite nice a bit like home." He winked at ne and I giggled. Well actually fake giggled. I was not letting these men, these players come in my heart and hurt me like the maids are always crying about. The maids around my age are actually allowed to date so they tell me everything. One of the guys who didn't wear a crown leaned forward and actually had the decency to say "it's actually a bit cold. Do you like that?"
I leaned forward to. "Why yes. I love it very cold,but my gowns are a bit thicker around the castle." he smiled and I did to. No Elena snap out of it. "Your name is?" Cody asked in disgust.
The man stared him up and down like he wasn't worthy of his name and said "Jeremy."
"There was a little boy who lived in the village and his name was Jeremy!" I practically screamed. "He was such an uncoordinated child." My father almost choked on his champagne while Jeremy stared at me a half smile on his face.
I coughed delicately and said "sorry."
When the dinner ended my father entertained the men and the royal gaurd called out to me. I stood up and went in the great hall with him. "Which guys m'lady?"
I pointed to the one who picked his nose,the two with the eating problems and one guy who kept scratching his head.
"We need one more Elena."
I shrugged. "I don't know James. It's a bit hard. You choose."
"How about the one sneaking a candle in his coat."
"Hawkeye."
"You know it." he bowed to me again and I went to the dining hall and sat down staring at my father who was in a conversation with Jeremy. I sat their staring awkwardly until James came out and asked those five boys to leave.
"You ten are now in the running to becoming my daughter's husband. Whatever you do,you do it with care, whatever you say, you say it like were watching because son's we are. As you know my daughter's coronation is in three months so you have three months or less to win her heart." I snorted in my mind. Please like any of these guys will win my heart.
