february 13

dear selected,

it would be an honor if you could all join me and a handful of other guests for a surprise birthday party for jaxon. gifts are not required. it will be in the ballroom at seven pm, february fourteenth. it will be a night of dancing, treats, and fun!

irene

the note was short and quick. straight to the point. so unlike irene. she was still furious with jaxon. she hadn't spoken to him since he told her she was arranged to marry dante. he didn't deserve it. she hated him. unfortunately, dante had received the brunt of her wrath. the yelling, crying, anger. it was all directed at him. but none of this was his fault. he hadn't known either. he took it all with grace, a sad look in his eyes. detached, almost. a very different look from the look he normally gave her, which was full of love. he almost looked like he wanted to get away from her. so, after a couple days, irene had calmed down.

dante had still seemed hesitant when speaking to her, like she would erupt again. now dante didn't deserve this. he got on her nerves, he couldn't take no for an answer, but they had always been friends. if they were supposed to get married, she had to be friends with him. everything had been fine, until he decided that it would be a wise choice to throw a birthday party for jaxon. irene didn't get mad, but she was hurt. why would she do it? after the conversation her and jaxon had? no. but she'd done it every year, the public and selected couldn't think something was wrong. that was his reasoning. it was enough reasoning to convince her.

the next few days, while the selected were on their dates, irene began to plan a party. jaxon never liked anything big, so it was a small group. the selected, her, dante, their mother if she wanted to come. of course some staff, for help and safety. she planned it, but she wasn't going to set it up as she always had. she didn't have the energy nor motivation for it. she handed of the list to helena, who would delegate jobs to the staff.

so far, nothing had been out of the ordinary.

february fourteenth finally rolled around. irene had managed to get dante out of her hair for the day, sending him off into town to get some party favors and treats. she periodically checked on the ball, making sure everything was going as planned with a smile on her face. she couldn't let on that she was upset at all. the rest of the day she spent in her room mentally preparing herself to face jaxon again.

but once seven o'clock came and the party started, irene never left her room.

HEYYY i'm sorry it's been so long since an update! dates are beginning to wrap up which went so slow because of my short and few responses. i'm sorry! also this chapter was kind of meh but just WAIT!

for those of you who have been assigned with a certain task, you need to start coming up with plans! just make sure you run anything by me in case in throws a wrench in the plot.

WHAT TO DO:
• chat with the other selected! if you want i can make a main chain, but there probably won't be much activity in it. but please tag each other!
• chat with another royal! only dante and jaxon are present, irene and the queen are not.

have fun! i'll continue to finish up dates while this kicks off!
