Protocol

I do not own MR.

I do own the plot and OCs.

I could see my eyelids go red from the sunlight in my room even though I don't want to get up. I know if I don't then my maid, Orchid, would wake up me soon anyways. I slowly get up. I look thought my dresses for one wear I see my favorite soft teal dress with its silver sash just under the breast. I see Iggy; he works as a messenger for my father, 'Hello Iggy.' "Your father has summoned you to his chamber." 'Thanks Iggy.' "No problem my lady." 'Iggy please don't call me that in less my dad's around.' he just rolls his eyes. I get up and go to my dad's chamber. Once, I get there I asks 'What is it that you wish to speak to me about?' "My dear Maximum, you have come of age to find a suitor for yourself and get married. I have made arrangements for a ball, so that you can hopefully meet someone you like." says my father. 'Dad, I just turned 18. How am I? …' "You have to! I will not be around forever, and I need you to be able to succeed me if need be." 'Yes father, I'll see you at lunch.' I leave as fast I can without being rude.

"My lady?" 'Yes Orchid?' "Princess Nudge is here to see you." 'Thank you.' I say and go to our normal meeting place just outside the garden. I see her 'Hey Nudge how are you?' "Good, you?" 'I've been better.' "What's the matter?" 'My dad wants to start looking for a suitor to marry.' "Oh, I'm so sorry Max." 'It's ok.' "Hey you'll finally get to meet Prince Fang." 'I've heard a lot about him. Is it true what they say?' "Not all of it, but I'll leave you in suspense about my brother." she says. 'Well, the way you paint him as some mysterious figure that will sweep me off my feet.' "He wish! He gets a lot of attention even though he doesn't want it." 'Oh...' "I say it's because he doesn't talk a lot." we keep talking about random things until it was time to for her to leave.

Later that day I was taking a stroll in the garden wondering how this whole ball thing would blow over. I honestly think that my father thinks he knows what's best for me, and I know that I have to abide by the law. But this may take sometime to get use too. I sit at the base of sakura tree thinking. "Ma'am?" 'Yes Orchid?' "It's time for supper and the king requests your presence there." 'Ok.' I got up and start walking up from the garden. "Hello Max, how are you?" 'Just be glad that you're not a girl.' "And why's that sis?" 'Dad says I need to find a suitor to marry.' "You forget that already I have to attend balls." 'Oh, I didn't know.' "That's ok I never said anything to you about it." 'Oh, why not?' "Well, I didn't think it would be too bad. But the fact that I could get married to one of the girls scares me." 'So, you know what I'm talking about then.' "Yes." says Ari.

"What are we talking about?" 'Ella!' "Man you scared me." says Ari "Ha, I got you!" 'Yeah don't rub it in.' "Come on, we have to get to supper." says Ella. "Ah, kids so how was all your days?" 'I think you know how mine went.' "I had a good day." says Ella ' I had a nice chat with Nudge today. We talked about my ball and her brother.' "You mean you talked about one of my best friends and didn't invite me?" asks Ari 'Yes. Dad will I be able to invite him?' "Yes he of age to court you." 'Ok, thanks dad.' I say as supper comes. "So, I was thinking that we could do your ball next Friday." 'That's one week a way, I thought that you were going to give me a little more time than that.' "How about next Friday and I let invite Nudge and Ella?" 'Fine, but I get to choose what dress I ware.' I say as I get up to leave.

That night I looked up at sling from my bed, trying to decide on what color I want my dress. I was thinking about an orange dress with gray and black designs on the bottom, or maybe a red. I wasn't sure and I have no earthly idea when the dress maker is coming to the castle. I keep thinking until I was tired and decided to go to sleep.

I wake up earlier than usual I decide that I'll go talk with my dad in his study about the dress maker. I made sure to knock. "Come in." 'Hey Dad.' "Oh, hey sweetie. What are you here for?" 'I was wondering when the dress marker was coming to the castle.' "Oh, well I was thinking that come Friday to draw up the dress." 'That works.' I said as I leave. After this I decide I would go to sleep I've had a busy day, but the only thing I could think about was the ball and have to get married uuuugggh...

Tell me what you think.

Suggestions for the dress and storyline are welcome.

Next time will be Fang's pov.
