For Her Hand

"Excuse me? What did you just say?" She fumed, knitting her brows in agitation.

"You heard me," he replied in a deadpan manner. "You're a spoiled, self-centered, entitled brat," he finished, causing the woman before him to clench her fists in rage.

"H-how dare you speak to me that way! Do you have any idea who you are talking to? I could make your life miserable, you know that right?" She fumed, using every ounce of willpower she had to avoid slapping him across the face.

"I am fully aware of who I saved, princess," he responded, emphasizing her status. "I just don't care. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to get back to my class before they leave me here. Good day, your highness," he added, turning around to leave.

Seth Da Silva was a senior at the prestigious Kalos Academy high school. Being head of the fencing club as well as a top athelete at his school, Seth had a lot going for him. His younger sister, Melody Da Silva, was a freshman and a very studious individual who took pride in the fact that she had an older brother like Seth. Despite having different schedules, the two found themselves on the same class trip to the one and only, Parfum Palace. Being given a writing assignment for history class, Melody made sure to be on the trip.

Princess Allie, daughter of a very wealthy family and princess of the Parfum Palce, had finally turned eighteen. With her new age came a new status; eligible. In other words, she was now of age to be married. However, like everything else in her little world, it had to be done her way. After proposing a competition for her hand to her parents, they seemed open to the idea and put out a notice to all of Kalos, inviting several wealthy families and trainers to her birthday celebration where the announcement would be made.

During the party, Princess Allie takes a tumble off the balcony, straight into the arms of Seth...
