I am summoned early in the morning to go and seek with the Prince.

I dress in a beautiful gown.

I see a few of the other girls getting ready as I make my way to the room.

I saunter into the room, the prince rises and kisses my hand.

I blush.

I sit next the boy and he begins.

"So Amalia, what's it like back home?"

"Well it's very interesting, there's something always going on. There's several caste fives there, such as myself, bringing color and beauty into the world."

"That sounds so different, so nice. What is your family like?"

"My dad, Doran, is an owner of his own business. My mother, Eliza, married into caste five from caste three. I don't understand how she even meet my father. Anyways I have four brothers. Benjamin is the oldest at age twenty, and he just hates being called Ben. Then there's Tobias and Emerson and they're twins. They're fifteen. And last but not least there's Elijah, who is seven."

The prince nods his head,and goes on.

"So what are your passions?"

"Faith plays a big part of my life. I also adore art of any sort."

"Interesting, how can I make your stay at the palace more comfortable?"

"Well, this palace is way more luxurious thank home ever was. Maybe if I can get into the library, and have alone time I'll be fine."

"What activities would you like to participate in?"

"Well like I said I love art, so if I could keep practising my skills that would be amazing. Sword fighting would be a lovely thing to do."

"Very well, what type of food would you like to see on the menu?"

"Breads and soups would be nice. I've heard of a food called pizza, could we have that?"

"I can see to it. Now do you like kids?"

"Yeah, kids are creative, wonderful, bundles of joy."

"What was you job before the selection?"

"I'm, well I was, a portrait painter."

"Who do you miss the most?"

"My family of course, but there's this shop I passed everyday to work and this old man that works in there. He is the kindest soul you would ever meet, and I miss him."

"How would you take the stress of being queen?"

"Easily. I don't freak out right away in any situation, if at all. If I were to freak out though, it would be in solitude. I don't like to be seen at my worse."

"Wonderful, final question. Do you want kids, and if yes, how many?"

"I would love to have kids, but not my own. There are many kids wanting to be adopted, why would I bring another child into this life when there are already so many? I would love to have three kids too."

"Thank you very much Amalia. I look forward to seeing you again."

I curtsy, and leave the room.

Did I do well enough? He never seemed over enthused.. I'm sure I'm just over reacting...

I wonder to the portraits again and admire their beauty.

I could reside up her with them.

Please like me. Please choose me. Please let me be enough.
