The Four Royal Families Decided long ago that the next Ruler be selected amongst those four. However, Emperor Kaiser rose to so much power to the point he was elected the next ruler and not one of the four. The 4 Princesses of the Royal Family's goal is to become the next Empress of Tomorrow's World. To bring back tradition to the Royal Families.

Humble braziers surrounding each of the twelve ivory columns illuminate the lowest levels of the throne hall, engulfing it in a magnificent gleam. The drawings of a kingdom in the sky on the slanted ceiling dance in the wavering light, while statuettes gaze down at the limestone floor of this rich hall. A chestnut carpet stretches from the throne to the middle, dividing into two exitways, and ribbon banners with embroidered plumes hang on the walls. Between each flag is a little altar filled with candles, just a few of which have been lit, illuminating the mosaics of battle heroes beneath. Veils in the same chestnut color as the banners hide huge stained glass windows. The curtains are adorned with delicate stitching and embroidered edges. An enormous stone throne sits on a tall elevated platform, flanked by six gigantic but far less elaborate seats for royal family members. The throne is embellished with religious symbols, and a sapphire moon sits on each of its elegant legs. The bright pillows are dark chestnut and decorated with nice embroidery.
A middle-aged gentleman speaks while sitting on the throne in an upright position leaning on his right hand. He wears a high-collared black coat with gold trim, as well as a huge, flowing white sash draped across his torso. He has silver hair and emerald green eyes, He also wears a pendant with a gold crown resting on top of the head. It's heavily embellished with magenta and light aqua jewels. [Emperor Kaiser]
"This year is the year," Kaiser speaks. "Since it's the 13th year I want to enforce Royal Units this year. We need extra protection because I fear the fated day will soon come. Do any of you disagree with that?"
The Four Royal Families Princesses stand before him.
"No objections my lord," said a girl on the far right with Golden Blonde Hair that reaches her hips, a slim build of medium height, and fair skin; her face is a little narrow and elongated, with large hazel eyes and thick dark lashes. Along with bangs that sit across her forehead. Wearing a Broderie Anglaise Puff Sleeve Dress [Selene Celle Le Fleur]
"None" the girl next to Selene spoke a petite young lady with long, wavy purple hair that reached her hips and eyes, She wears wearing a long white dress and has heterochromia, which is defined by blue and purple eyes. The predominant color in the left eye is blue, while the right eye's hue is purple with shades of blue. She has a blue hairpin in the shape of a star in her hair and a pendant around her neck that looks like a swirl representing galaxies. Wearing a matching purple dress to match her hair. [Zenaveil Calista Starborn]
"Am happily ok with that" says the young lady next to her wearing elegant ball gown dresses in red silver and rose gold. Followed by her signature crown with the Gem embedded within it. She has long, brilliant pink hair that is arranged in four huge buns atop her head. Her body is curved, her complexion is peach, her eyes are pink, and she has a beauty mark beneath each eye. [Anatasia Aviva Valentine]
"I agree" the final princess on the far left responds. She has black hair that she normally ties in a ponytail with chin-length hair strands hanging on either side and dark green-shaded eyes. She is a bit taller in height compared to the other princesses. Wearing a dark green long dress. [Madison Valor Fallenburg]
"Wonderful. The selection for the royal units will be decided the same day the Entrance Exams are taken at Ardian Magic Academy. Eight teams from the entrance exams will be chosen and you four get to pick them out."
"How many do we get to pick at once?" Selene asks.
"Preferable seven. You will select these mages to protect you with their lives. You will go on missions and train with them, and bond with them. Hopefully, the time doesn't come but always best to be prepared" Kaiser responds.
"How will this royal unit selection go?" Selene asks again.
"It starts with the Valentine Family-"
Selene body fidgets a little.
"Then the Le Fleur family, onwards to the Starborn Family, and finally the Fallenburg Family gets last. All agree."
"Yes," the four princesses say in unison.
"Are there any last-minute questions that you would to ask?"
"Meeting adjured. Thank you for your time"
The emperor stands up as he leaves the throne room.
A magic circle appears as the throne room is flipped right side up with the ceiling of the room reflecting the bottom. The only thing moving is the Throne.
"The Emperor's gravity magic sure is spectacular. The ability to maintain a floating fortress less keep it floating for years is impressive don't you think Selene?" Madison asks.
Selene storms off out of the throne room not batting an eye to the other princesses.
"There she goes again storming off. Not even worth trying to talk to anymore." Zenaveil adds.
Anatasia looks with concern "I understand how she feels being second. I was surprised the Emperor said that as well. I guess it kind of makes sense for me to pick first because I would need the most protection during this time."
Selene continues to walk outside in the grand hallway of the Emperor's Palace.
"Justus take me out of here" she demands with an irritated look.
"As you wish Milady" she responds as a portal appears in front of Selene and walks through.
The portal then connects to her room with Justus waiting inside. She waits near the door of the room with her arms crossed average height, brown eyes with a beauty mark under her left eye, with long brown hair that falls just below her shoulders. Wearing a tucked-in white undershirt, with gold buttons, and black slacks. Her dual sabers are tucked away on her holsters on each leg.
"How did the meeting go" she asks.
"The emperor enforced the Royal Units to be deployed"
"I haven't heard that term used for a while. I read about it in my research"
"Yes, I know the day coming upon us. All my training has come down to this" as she stares at herself with a long mirror.
"When did he say the selection will happen?"
"The same day of the Entrance Exams which is in a couple of days."
Selene turns around as she walks to her dresser "I just know that I WILL be present to pick my team am not too sure about the others, especially the Valentine family"
"Yes of course they can't risk their only heir to be present"
"But how can the Valentine Family be the first pick" Selene questions as she paces around her room in a frustrated mood her hands on her chin.
"You do have to think Milady they should get it given how important Lady Anatasia's magic is to the world"
"The power to bring someone back to life in exchange for your own such silly little ugh" Selenes frustrated falls into her bed.
"If that were to fall into the wrong hands. NYX may come sooner than later"
Selene stares at her ceiling.
"I just hope the other Heavenly mages are selected. I just know for a fact that am 100% locked into becoming the mage "The Heavenly Light."
"Without a doubt milady"
"Moving on from that I can't let any of the other families have an upper edge anymore. I must be the one to become empress. I must do something that no other Princess can think of."
"Whatever it is milady I will fully support you"
"I just hope the batch this year will be worth it. Hopefully, that boy shows up. The Prince of the Primordial Flames" Selene says as she stares outside the window displaying the whole view of the Capitol City of Ardia.

CRASH
The waves of the ocean crash along the coastline of Fallenport.
"Tomorrow is the day. I should have all my things packed"
"Bri you almost ready we're going to leave soon!" a girl's voice calls from outside.
"Yes am coming" Bri responds.
She stares at the mirror one last time as she fixes her hair. Bri with Layered Shoulder-length Black wavy Ombre Hair, is average height, nice skin complexion, with very light shades of teal near the ends of the hair, and baby blue eyes. She's wearing a sleeveless, backless, short baby blue dress with a grey blazer. The blazer is backless, with sleeves attached at the back that reaches slightly beyond her elbows and silver-colored cuffs. Furthermore, the blazer goes up to her neck and has ruffled edges. She also wears silver leg warmers as well as sandals.
"Oh, one more thing." Bri straps on a little leather side pouch to her left thigh with her name written on it. "Hopefully you'll be there too Axelle," she says to herself as she touches the bag.
