Selection : Jason and Amelia

A Night of Themes and Teams

The banquet had come to a close, and the excitement still buzzed in the air as the contestants began to settle into their new lives within the palace walls. The grand hall had transformed from a space of introductions into one filled with laughter and chatter, as the ladies shared their thoughts on the prince and the evening's events.

The following morning, the excitement reached new heights as Lady Elara gathered the contestants in the sunlit courtyard. The vibrant flowers bloomed around them, framing the scene with color and life. The atmosphere was alive with anticipation as they awaited the announcement of their first official task.

"Good morning, ladies!" Elara called out, her voice ringing with enthusiasm. "Welcome to your first challenge in the Selection! Today, you will be forming three groups of five and organizing a themed get-together for the queen and me. This will be a chance for you to showcase your creativity, teamwork, and ability to make a memorable impression."

The ladies exchanged eager glances, the thrill of competition sparking in their eyes. Jason stood off to the side, observing the scene with a smile, excited to see how each group would interpret the challenge.

"To make this more interesting," Elara continued, "each group must select a theme that reflects your vision for the event. It can be anything from a royal garden party to a masquerade ball! You have until the end of the day to prepare, and I expect you all to impress us!"

As the instructions settled in, the ladies began to chatter excitedly, forming small groups and brainstorming ideas. Amelia felt a surge of energy as she considered her options. This was her chance to shine, not just for the prince but to express herself creatively.

"Okay, ladies," Amelia said, stepping forward. "Let's gather and discuss our ideas! We should think about how to make this event memorable for the queen and the prince."

A few other contestants, who had formed a circle around her, nodded in agreement. "I love the idea of a garden party!" one of them exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "We could incorporate floral decorations and outdoor games!"

"Or a masquerade!" another contestant chimed in. "We could add an air of mystery and elegance, allowing everyone to reveal their true selves behind masks."

Amelia listened intently as they bounced ideas off one another. She felt a sense of camaraderie growing among the group, and it made her heart swell with hope. This challenge was not only about competing for the prince's affection but also about bonding with the other women.

"I think a fairy-tale theme could be enchanting," Amelia suggested, her imagination sparking. "We could draw inspiration from classic stories, creating a whimsical atmosphere with enchanting decorations and magical elements. It would allow everyone to step into a world of fantasy!"

The others considered her suggestion, and the excitement in the air grew as they began to elaborate on the idea. "We could have each lady dress as a character from a fairy tale!" one of them suggested, her enthusiasm infectious. "And we could have games inspired by different stories!"

With the theme set, they quickly organized into teams. Amelia felt a rush of determination as they divided tasks. They assigned roles based on each person's strengths—some would handle decorations, others would plan games, and a few would work on preparing a delightful menu that reflected the magical theme.

As they worked throughout the day, Amelia couldn't help but feel a sense of unity among the group. They laughed, shared ideas, and faced challenges together. Even when disagreements arose, they found ways to compromise and support one another, fostering a sense of sisterhood that transcended the competition.

Meanwhile, Jason watched from a distance, intrigued by the energy surrounding Amelia and her group. He could see her passion for the theme radiating from her, and it struck a chord within him. She wasn't just competing; she was genuinely invested in creating something beautiful and meaningful.

As the sun began to set, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink, the group finished their preparations. The courtyard had transformed into a fairy-tale wonderland, adorned with twinkling fairy lights, floral garlands, and whimsical decorations that transported everyone to a magical realm.

When Lady Elara and the queen arrived, their eyes widened in delight. They took in the enchanting atmosphere, and a warm smile spread across the queen's face. "What a delightful surprise!" she exclaimed. "You ladies have outdone yourselves." (PS : amelias dress on top )

As the evening unfolded, laughter and joy filled the air. The guests enjoyed games, shared stories, and experienced the magic that Amelia and her group had created. As the prince mingled with the attendees, he couldn't help but notice Amelia's radiant smile, which lit up the courtyard like a beacon.

In that moment, Jason felt a growing connection to her—a realization that there was more to Amelia than met the eye. The evening had become a celebration of creativity, teamwork, and the bonds they were forming, and he found himself drawn to her more than ever.

As the festivities continued, he knew that this was just the beginning of an adventure filled with laughter, challenges, and heartfelt connections—one that would reveal the depths of their characters and the strength of their hearts.
