Love Will Remember (Haitus)

Chapter 4: Brides for the Picking

The princesses arrived today, each princess came from the countries of the nobles we had dinner with a few weeks ago. One came from Italy, Spain, Scotland, and Russia, The princesses would arrive at different times and it would be announced before hand so that Lucas could greet them individually. When the first princess arrived, she was dressed in a flattering pale green gown, that was perfect for the season. The bottom of the gown was lined with white pearls for decoration and her hears and neck were also dressed with pearls. Her hair was tied tightly with a beautiful sunhat to match her gown. Her blonde hair was as golden as the sun and her eyes beautiful as the sea. She had high cheek bones and a square shaped face. She was strikingly beautiful, with pink lipstick glossed on her round lips.

Ms. Flora was there as well to greet them. I was there at Lucas' request. He requested that I be with him these next few days to "suffer" with him. The princess curtsied to Lucas and he bowed. Lucas too, was dressed in his finest to play the part.

Ms. Flora smiled to her and she smiled back. "Lucas, this is Princess Sasha of Russia."

Lucas took her hand to bring it to his lips and smiled. "It is a pleasure to meet you, Sasha. That color of green looks lovely on you." It was always humorous for me to see Lucas change his whole personality. I had to praise him, when it was time for him to play the part of "Prince" he played it like a fiddle.

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Lucas." She smiled her eyes beaming probably because of how handsome he was. She was probably expecting him to be older and unattractive. It fascinated me when she spoke, I had never heard a Russian accent before. I found it beautiful.

"Loraine will show you to your room," One of the other servants curtsied to Sasha and led her to her room.

When the next princess arrived, it was the Princess of Italy, Natalia. She was dressed in a baby blue gown that made her flawless fair complexion look even more flawless. She looked like a doll. She had had long flowing black hair with a pair of hazelnut brown eyes. She seemed sweet and a little shy, but she was beautiful and I could tell that Lucas took a notice to her sweet disposition. Or she could just be very nervous.

Blythe, the Princess of Scotland was the next to appear. She was wearing a dark green gown with a sash representing her kingdoms colors. She seemed cheerful, energetic and spunky. She had red curls that hung to her shoulders, small freckles on either side of her nose and icy blue eyes that were piercing. I knew that Lucas would like her free spirit; she seemed to be just as adventurous as him. I feel he may grow a liking to her whether he admits it or not.

Sophia was the next and last princess to arrive. She was the Princess of Spain. She had long and straight light brown hair, she had a beautiful pair of olive green eyes. Her facial structure was a little more angular but she too, had high cheek bones, and pink lips. She wore a floral gown that clung to her figure closely and the gown flowed openly towards the bottom. Her floral dress had a mixture of green, white and pink. She also wore and beautifully designed headband on her head.

Ms. Flora, and Lucas greeted them all the same way and Lucas gave each of them a complement as a prince should. When Sophia was taken away to her room Lucas' body language relaxed immediately.

"Well, that's over with." Lucas said crossing his arms.

I nudged his arm, "See, it wasn't too horrible, and they are gorgeous at that."

"Mmmm, we'll see. Looks aren't the only thing that matters..."

"Oh is someone a little interested?" I teased and his mother smiled.

"No...be quiet Hazel."He rolled his eyes. "Okay, well let's get to Caspian, Hazel."

"Why?"

"He has to get your measurements."
