BALL parties hosted by the reigning family of Iladour had never been something people got to see everyday or very often. they were rare, like a flower blooming after a century. and for the Laurezacs, this flower hadn't bloomed for almost four hundred years. so, one could only imagine the diverse reactions of the people when the welcoming ball was declared. if that did not provoke a ripple of surprise and hysteria among the whole nation, it's impossible to tell, what could.

however, the pressure of perfection upon the castle and the people living inside seemed much more than one would assume. it had taken days for the royals to prepare themselves, weeks for the maids to garnish the palace and months for the renovators to polish the blackened and bruised walls of the palace.

but that did not mean the palace had lost its original gloriousness over the years. the people of Iladour had always cherished the grandness of its architecture and design, thousands of acres of land it sat across, the gardens, the fountains. and the way the sun awoke from the east and dropped behind the shadows of the enormous castle.

and just like that, the night of the ball had arrived. but the excitement among the selected just before the commencement of the function was busted when the lights went out with a deafening blast and the floor began to shudder. desk trembling. chandeliers madly dancing. it appeared as if a small earthquake had passed- leaving everything else unexplained. a rush of strong wind had pinned some to the walls or tripped them over to the floor. the mirrors had shattered onto the carpeted floor, panic rose up the throats and, it was only a matter of seconds, screams filled the entire castle.

by the time it all came to an end, curiously, the palace felt colder than before, enough for one to hear the clattering of teeth at a distance. seeing everyone flabbergasted, the royals regarded it only fitting to postpone the ball. there was no other way. the orders for the maids to comfort the selected was released, guards to provide protection to each one of them. if selected had any questions, they were not entertained and if someone had decided to drop out, they had been given one more day to think it over.

nevertheless, with the arrival of the new day, new plans had come to motion. a new setup had been organised. three locations had been prepared and secured, where the selecteds are requested to have a one-to-one meet with the selecting royals. it was left upon the participants if they wanted to meet one or all of them. after the mishappenings of the previous night, the selecting royals had taken it upon themselves to learn who genuinely wants to stay. it would be cruel of them to force anyone into the selection, especially, when they are aware, what happened the previous night was merely a tip of an iceberg.

woooooooow,
here we go!
the first chap is finally out.

❖ i hope everyone would read through the complete chapter to eliminate any chances of misunderstanding. as it could turn really embarrassing while conversing with the royals if your selected isn't even aware of all that had happened with them. there would be no going back from that awkwardness. no retakes.

❖ multiple chains are allowed, however, only one at a time. the selecteds are free to talk to each other because friendships and who doesn't love a solid drama. I highly encourage but do as it suits you.

❖ TAG ME for the royal you would like to meet. and yes, you are meant to post the infamous starter. it sucks, i know, but that's how it's gonna be, sorry not sorry!

let's keep the role-play friendly, lighthearted and fun for everyone
