Selection - But he has a Sister

Scene 3 - Anna

The man comes at around two.

Black car.
Black hair.
Black suit.
Black tie.
Black shoes.
Black everything.

He even has two black shadows follow him.

In the letter it had said something about greater security measures and identity protection for the participant. "If they are to show up at every door like that, it definitely is not at all noticeable and will leave all the neighbors very unimpressed." A small laugh escapes my mom when I wisper this to her while the men approach us further.

Us living on the ground of the Morrisen's it isn't so suspices since they are Tow's and with that could need security for all kinds of things. If I imagen these would stop in front of the house of a Four or Five though...

Someone should adive the King better.

None of the men say anything until we are inside. Adeline has allowed us to use her office wich is much bigger than our smal apartment.

Once we are all inside, the door is closed and everyone has a seet on the three big sofas stand on one side of the office, the first man Beginns.

"Miss Nordlis, you have been elected for this years Selection surrounding Prince Lukan Leonardo Daltos. I take you have received the letter?"

"Yes. Just a few days ago."

"Good. Most of the things you need to know already was in the letter, but I have to repeat some of the most important rules to you again and then also ask you some questions. I will ask you to answer them truthfully, as I can guarentee you that we will find out if not."

I just nod, definitly not looking forward to the next – who new how long – listening to the man telling me about some boring rules. As long as I don't kill anyone, insult the royal family, steely some expensive yuwel or have sex I should be fine, right.

After exactly 37 minutes and 18 seconds the man has finished his summary of the most important rules, only to then tell that I would get a more detailed version once in the palace.

Isn't that something to look forward to.

Next came the questions, which started of quite easy.

"Are all the information on your application, correct?" Ha, Dahlia would have been fucked.

"Yes."

"Do you consent to being part of this years Selection regarding Prince Lukan Leonardo Daltos?"

"Yes."

"If you are selected at the end of the selection process, do you agree to take on all the duties and tasks of the position in question?"

"Yes." Though it's not going to happen. The Selection is a distraction and a way for money, I will make sure to not actually be chosen.

"Are you aware that mentaly or physicaly injuring another candidate, a member of the palace staff, the prince himself or any other person present will result in direct disqualification?"

"Yes." I guess there is my way out. This could really be fun.

The questions go on and on, he even asks if I am still a virgin – as if not dumass. If you don't remember, it's kind of illegal to have sex befor you are married.

After finally answering the last question, he turned to my mother.

"Mrs. Nordlis I will now be handing you the first check and after that we will proceed to get you daughters luggage in the car and drive her safely to the capital, were she will spend her time within the castin, inside the walls of the castle."

The man reaches inside his pocket and gets a light letter out, which he hands to my mother.

I really wish she would open it, so I can see how much it is, but I know my mom will never do that – money is the parents concern, is what she always says.

After that everything kind of feels like time lapse, the men getting up, my mother saying goodbye, me showing where my luggage is – consisting out of a backpack – everyone getting in the car, only when we finally drive through the large gates, of the Morris estate I feel time moving normal again.

Which isn't perfect as the drive is multiple hours long.
