"Precelle" the Princess called.
She was seated on the luxurious chair prepared for her and was watching the celebration as people danced and sang just for her entertainment.
"Yes, Your Highness" Precelle who was behind her bowed her head.
"Do you know about the three suitors my brother Kelle selected for me?" The Princess asked and kept a splendid smile on her face as she watched the entertainers.
"I do, Your Highness. I was briefed before we came into your debutante" Lady Precelle said.
"Were you? Brief me about them," the Princess rested her back on the chair.
"Of course, my Princess" Lady Precelle bowed.
"Master Filen, Son of Senior Master Garad, the ruler of Gardenia Kingdom, the 15th kingdom of the Empire. Master Filen has traveled across the world for the last decade and apparently has an exquisite taste for art" Lady Precelle narrated.
"Lord Derke, Duke of the Renagre Kingdom, the 26th kingdom of Urankia. He is a mighty warrior that has won numerous wars against our enemies and he is one of the greatest soldiers the Empire has ever seen,"
"Earl Maneder, son of Earl Manire of Wanil Kingdom, the 12th kingdom of Urankia. Earl Maneder has shown great loyalty to the throne when he saved Prince Kelle's life in a battle three years. He is the best archer in the army," Lady Precelle finished with a bow.
Princess Divale said nothing and stayed silent so the information could sink in. She tapped her slender fingers on the chair as she was in deep thoughts.
Her lips were pursed and a few lines appeared on her forehead.
She has heard about the suitors but still, she would only know them better when she meets them one by one.
Princess Divale has been taught ever since childhood about the deceptive nature of vampires and all creatures of the world.
One can only know one when words are exchanged in private, the Princess believed.
The dancers struck their final pose as their performance came to an end.
The Princess clapped them as they exited the stage with a humble bow.
"Now," the conductor drew the attention of the crowd.
"For the last event tonight, we'll have something that will be a little different from other debuts you have witnessed"
"As you all know, Emperor and King Terre announced three months ago that he will forgo the throne to his heir once Princess Divale has reached the appropriate age"
"And as par the traditions and customs, the Empire can not be ruled by a single individual, it must be a couple of bond with matrimony, which is why the council have chosen three suitors who would stand a chance to be the next King of Urankia alongside our Princess"
The crowd sent a round of applause.
"But on the order of the Emperor, the final decision can only be made by the Princess which is why I call the chosen suitors to step forward to the stage,"
"Lord Derke of Renagre Kingdom" he called and the crowd clapped enthusiastically.
A handsome young vampire stepped out from the crowd and went towards the stage.
"Master Filen of Gardenia Kingdom"
Another round of applause filled the hall as another male vampire stepped out of the crowd.
"And last but certainly not less important, Earl Maneder of Wanil Kingdom"
Now, the three suitors stood on the stage and faced the Princess. All heads were held high.
"Princess, the final decision remains yours," the conductor bowed before he exited the stage.
Princess Divale brought her hand forth and Lady Precelle helped her rise from the chair in her divine glory.
She glided down the dais with elegance and with the help of the conductor, she walked up the stage and stood in front of the three suitors.
All breaths were held at this nerve-wracking moment.
Where the next Emperor of Urankia would be chosen by the Princess.
A spectacle that one wouldn't want to miss.
The Princess swiped her sharp jade-green orbs across the suitors which made them sweat in their feet.
Seconds passed as ears were hung in the air desperately to hear what would come out of the Princess's mouth.
Then she spoke,
"I will not be choosing a king tonight,"
Oops, the bomb just landed!
>>>>>>>>>>
Haha, I can't wait to see what Divale is up to!
