"Once again, I welcome you to the Kingdom of Noiror, princesses," Lord Theseus said. A small applause burst throughout the room, smiles and smirks appearing on the princesses' faces. "I hope you are all well. Today, we are gathered here today to come forth, and find a hand for my lovely nephew, Prince Adrien." he announced. There was a boisterous round of applause from each group, small smiles and giggles once again. The Lord looked over his shoulder as so happened, and nodded to the Queen. She raised from her chair, and stood still waiting for silence.

Then his Lord said, "We have many fine ladies in this room today. I hope that you all will be fair towards each other, and from amongst thee, we shall find the perfect one for my dear nephew, the next in line of the Noiror throne. Please ladies, I hope you shall be strong and proud of your achievements here, no matter what happens. I am here today, to represent my nephew's beloved father, who sadly passed away five years ago. He had always wanted his son to marry a wonderful lady, and the next few weeks will determine that."

"You will all commit to a series of challenges, where amongst those who pass, shall continue. And those that fail, shall leave." echoed the Queen.

There was a quiet uproar, as the princesses in the room glanced across at each other, suspicious of what the Queen had meant and how it worked.

Section 3: The challenges. They were all based on multiple events and situations that required skill and knowledge. The challenges were a mix of physical, mental and household work. They were to see who the real princesses are and which are capable of the job of the next Queen of Noiror.

After the remark of the challenges from the queen, some girls seemed shocked but more seemed even more toxic than before, realising that the competition is on. But as Prince Adrien reluctantly had to dance with every single princess at the ball, everyone managed to have a smile on their faces. Even Cassia. Of course she was just doing that to fit in with the crowd. Her hatred against the Prince was a big deal. Not only was this kingdom powerful, Edessa, her home kingdom had suffered severely from the loss of war from Noiror. When the ball finished, the concierge started to slowly announce the names.

"Princess Bryony... Princess Emilie.... And in the third room, Princess Ebony and Princess Wesa."

A few maids led the princesses to their rooms. A lot of the girls were disgusted, most of them had never had to share a room before with anyone else, let alone another two girls. Cassia didn't have anything to worry about, except creating a friendship with her roommates which she would doubt would happen as most of the girls are the snobbiest people she has ever met.

As she entered the room, she noticed that two girls had already settled in. "You will be sharing this room with Princess Emilie and Princess Tiffany," said the maid.

"Thank you," Cassia replied.

"Princesses, would you like us to unpack your luggage for you?" asked the maids. "It is all good, thank you." Cassia replied back, and in surprise, there were two other voices saying the same thing in unison. She spun around, curious to see who she was bunkering with.

Cassia hadn't met the princesses of Aura, who happened to be the nicest royals she had ever met. Who also happened to be twins. Emilie and Tiffany Arla of Aura.
