Chapter 6

"Good morning Miss," Marie said. "I have prepared a bath for you with lemon and rosemary scent."

"Thank you," I commented.

I yawned and stretched. Then I took a bath. The smell of lemon and rosemary reminded me of forests.

I smiled.

I was dressed in a simple lilac dress with diamond earrings. I knew that lilac complimented my skin tone. My hair was styled in a high ponytail with curls. And I had minimal makeup applied.

I went to the room where I would be greeting all the suitors. And after that we would all have lunch in the Grand Hall.

I met the first person. He bowed. I curtsied.

"Jackson Aldrin," he stated with a smile.

"Adaline Ravenwood," I said.

Then he walked out.

I saw a familiar face. He bowed. I curtsied.

"Garett Walker," he said in a polite manner.

"Adaline Ravenwood," I replied.

His green eyes held my attention. He noticed my staring and smiled. And he had an amazing smile. I blushed.

"Nice to meet you Miss Ravenwood," he said.

"Nice to meet you too, " I responded.

"Tristen McNeil," he stated boldly without bowing.

I curtsied.

"Adaline Raven—" I was interrupted.

"I know gorgeous," he smirked.

I gave him a tight smile.

"So when are we going to start kissing. Because I'm a great kisser," he said arrogantly.

Okay he was starting to get on my nerves but I was going to keep my cool.

"Okay thank you Mr McNeil," I said hoping he would take the hint and leave.

"You can call me Tristen," he said with a wink.

Then he finally walked away. Luckily I was able to get through all the suitors quickly.

I went back to my room for a breather while all the suitors were shown their room and a small tour of the palace. Dating was going to be tough.

Noah stopped by my room. He saw the look on my face.

"Hey Adaline," he said.

"Hey," I replied.

"Adaline no one said dating was going to be easy. You could start by finding mutual interests and hobbies with the guys. I'm sure they are all eager to spend time with you," he said.

"Especially alone," he added.

"Don't remind me. Tristen asked me when we would kiss," I said with a frown.  

"Really?! Tell me who he is! He needs to be respectful and I could teach him a lesson or two," he shouted furiously.

"No it's fine. The last thing I want is for you guys to fight," I said.
