My hair was loose and decorate with some flowers, to match my dress. My hair was long and full, it reached my low back. My dress came to my ankles and was gorgeous. I helped designing it and I was very satisfied with it.
"Thanks, girls." I thanked my maids and they smiled. Two guards came to pick me up and lead me to my parents. "Beautiful as ever." Benjamin said and kissed my cheek, I smiled. He looked handsome in his tuxedo. Mom had a lovely dress on and she looked stunning by just smiling. Dad looked adorable in his suit, his eyes twinkled with pride when he saw me and that made my whole world better. I hugged mom and hugged him. "All the guys are gonna die to sign up for the selection after they saw you looking like this." Mom said and I laughed. "Come on, time to greet the guests." Dad said and took mom her hand while Benjamin took mine. We walked to the stairs, that would lead us right into the ballroom. "His majesty, King Jasper Maximus Shelve and her majesty, Queen Grace Fiona Hall Shelve!" A guard announced my parents and the entire room bowed. Mom and dad walked off the stairs and stood downstairs waiting for us. "His royal highness, Prince Benjamin Jasper Maximus Shelve and the guest of honor: her royal highness, throne Princess Belle Grace Elizabeth Fiona Shelve!" He announced, the room bowed again and Benjamin guided me downstairs. My, Benjamin and my parents stood in a line as everybody came to greet us. We stood in this way: Benjamin, Mom, me and lastly dad. King Francois kissed my cheeks, which was totally inappropriate. "Oh, we're gonna be family soon." He said with a wink. "How so?" Dad asked. "She'll be marrying soon, right? James is the perfect guy for her, they're hopelessly in love." He said and dad forced a smile. Then was James and I held out my hand and he kissed it. "See you later." He said with a wink and I forced a smile. He greeted my father. With Julianna we just nodded at each other. King Ja-Lin gave me a warm smile. "An excellent actress or you." He told me and I smiled.
I asked Violetta to stay at my side all time, she knew about James and was my protector. James sticker to me liked a post-it. It bothered me a lot, but I didn't show it. After dinner, when music was settled down. My dad went on stage with my mother. The cameras went on and our plan started. "Good evening, America! We are her tonight to celebrate the eighteenth birthday of my daughter, Belle." He said and applause followed and I smiled to the camera. "As you all may know is that she'll be claiming the throne to her very soon, she reached the age of marriage. I know what my people want and it has been wanted since her birth and today I'm happy to announce I will granted the wish. There will be a selection to find the perfect husband and new Prince for my daughter, Belle!" Dad said and everybody cheered loudly and I acted surprised and shocked. I looked at James and he looked pale and super shocked. "Belle, come join me." Dad told me and I walked to the stage. He laid his hand on my back. "Auditions will be next week and as always everyone is obligated to join." Dad announced. "This is absurd!" Francois jelled and cameras focused on him, dad and mom shared a look. "You promised her to my son!" He jelled at my father. "I certainly didn't, they were dating. I never said something about marriage. How long were they dating? Four months?" Dad asked him and he threw a fit. "You're a cruel man! Forcing your daughter to marry someone, she doesn't know! The selection is a terrible idea!" He jelled at my dad. He was way to inappropriate. He was insulting everything what my country stood for and I knew for sure that everybody that was watching right now thought the same. "I ask you to leave the party, you're not welcome anymore." Dad told him. "Don't think! This is over! America will pay! I have allies..." Dad cut him off. "What allies? Who in this room is your ally?" Dad asked. "Italy!" Francois jelled at him. "Want to know mine?" Dad snapped. Ja-Lin raised his hand, Henry, Falco, father of Eiko, Ballu, father of Keanu and the entire room raised their hands. I saw the fear on Francois his face. "I suggest you leave right now." Dad told him and he stormed off...
