In this chapter it starts a few days after they run into Mike on the street. Only two actually get invited, and only three meet in advance, just to make this a little bit shorter. Thank you to the three reviews that I got. I love making this story so I'm glad that other people like it too.


In a kingdom a little ways away

"My Lord, do you think that they are ready?"Ryan spoke in a hesitant voice. "Of course they are my granddaughters..." He turned away from the boy. "Mike thank you for reminding me..." The king of Merian said his phone. "I can't believe you're going to be 100 soon, it seems like yesterday we were in our youth... Well once they marry into their rightful kingdoms, they will become the strongest rulers history books have ever seen... No they don't know, they don't know that they are related either. Hold on Mike. Ryan go fetch the girls and bring them back here... Like Mike I tell you those girls..." The king thought for a minute. "I'll figure something out... Yes the upcoming ball is when they will meet again we just need to figure out a way to get them there without suspicion... I'll figure out something. Talk to you later, bye." The king hung up and stared at his phone. "How to get them invited? Anna and Bella will get invited, but how will the rest of them get there?"

Later in the day

Anna's pov.

I was spending the day with the girls, but towards the evening we had split to go shopping and then go to our own apartment. We don't live in the same apartment because we wanted to be really independent and not have to rely on each other for money. I was thoughtlessly thinking when something hit me on the head. I looked up at the sky and saw it was covered in dark rain clouds. Raindrops are falling more and more so I ran for cover under the nearest shop's awning. Oh joy, a flower shop. I like flowers and all, just every time I step into a flower shop I can't help but buy something. "They are so beautiful..." I hear a man's voice from behind me say. "Beautiful flowers for a beautiful young lady." I turn around to see a man holding an umbrella out to me and a rose. "I'm sorry did I frighten you?" He said with a gentle smile. I swear I have seen him before, but I don't know where. He had fancy clothes on, kinda like what a fairy tale prince would wear. He smiled brightly at me. "Aren't you getting wet standing there?" He held the umbrella out for me. I smiled back at him like a idiot. "That's fine this awning is pretty dry, I think that you are the one getting wet..."

"I'm alright. It seems that if you listen hard enough it almost seems like you can hear whispers from the beautiful flowers. I came to this shop, and here, I found the most beautiful flower..." His hand brushed my cheek, his perfect smile shone like the sun. Wait, what am I thinking we just met. But my heart is beating so fast. Over the man's shoulder I noticed a ton of black cars speeding by. Wow.. One of the cars splashed mud up towards the man as it passed by. "Yikes!" He's gonna get covered in mud! As I thought that I rushed forward to try and protect the man from the splash. Next thing I know is that I am covered in muddy water. The guy notices and propels me towards the flower shop. He looks at me with concern in his eyes. "Are you alright?" I look down at my clothes. "Yes..." The car that splashed me stops a ways down and a man gets out of the car and hurries towards me. "Please forgive me. Were you struck miss?" As he spoke he glanced at the man next to me. "Oh..." Do they know each other? "Were you on your way to the party sir?"

"Yes..." Then somebody else snapped. "What are you doing?" I turned towards the voice and see another man in about the same type of fancy clothes as the man next to me. I know I've seen them before. "Forgive me sir, but this young lady was struck with mud due to my reckless driving and..." The other man looks at me. "Mud!?" Then he glances next to me. "Sorry, but I'm in a hurry. Luke, you take care of this." After that he turned and walked back to his car. Woah, rude much? He didn't even apologize. "Please accept our apologies miss. You must let us pay to replace your clothes. Send us a bill after you buy something to replace your outfit." He handed me a card. If I was my sister I would have said something to that certain guy, but I'm not Amalia. "Luke come on! Let's go." Luke bowed to the man next to me. "Coming sir!" He stepped into the car. I heard a snicker behind me. "He never changes does he?" He smiled when I looked at him. "First take this..." He held out handkerchief. "Thank you." I patted at the mud with the handkerchief. He then spoke in a kind voice. "I'm sorry about your lovely outfit, it was ruined just for me." "No it's not your fault, please don't worry about it. The man seemed startled by my smile and he stared at my face. His serious expression sent my heart racing. He then dropped on one knee before me and took my hand and his. "Won't you accompany me on a date? It's more like a ball." I smile at him and accept his offer. A gray limo pulls up and I see another man in it. "Miss Anna, come with me please it's your grandfather. He needs to speak with you urgently." I nod and step away from the man that I was talking to and climb into the limo.

Bella's pov

I was strolling down the street trying to decide where to go when I felt a rain drop on my nose. I go to the nearest shop. Ooh it's a chocolate shop. I am about to step inside when I feel a hand grab my arm. "Please allow me." I turn to see a man with kind dark brown eyes and chocolate colored hair. He has really fancy clothes on too. "Oh t-thank you." He opens the door for me and holds it open for me. We sit down at a table. "I had a feeling that this shop was the perfect place to get out of the rain."

We sit and talk for a while when the door swings open. A man wearing similar clothes opens the door. Seeing both of them I think I saw them on tv. Their eyes meet and the guy stands up. "Josh... What are you here for?" The other guy, Josh, walks over. "Came as a tradition. Who is this commoner that you find yourself in company with?" He looks at me coldly. "Excuse me, but I must be going has the rain stopped?" I ask Josh, standing up. "I'll go next door, you may finish your conversation. And no it is pouring." With that he walks out. "Haha. He never will learn how to speak with women will he?" I sigh and sit back down.

"I probably should go, I still need to make or order dinner." I'm going to walk away when he grabs my hand. "Wait my we talk a bit longer?" I nod, I didn't want to leave. Suddenly the door opens fast. "Miss Bella!" I turn around and see a man who seems vaguely familiar. "Yes?" He smiles. "Bella, it is your grandfather, he needs to speak with you." My grandpa? Pappy? Nanny said he was a very important person, but he visited at Christmas, or big birthdays like my 13th, 16th, 18th and I am expecting him to visit when I turn 21 next year. I loved when he visited. He visited the day after Christmas and only that one day for the entire Christmas season. "Okay." I turn to the guy next to me. "Sir don't you have a party to attend to?" The guy behind me asks him. He nods. "Will you come with me to the ball after you speak with your grandfather?" I stand there stunned. "Of course, but I don't have anything to wear." The guy behind me speaks up. "Your grandfather has stuff for you." I turn and glare at him. "Ok. I will see you tonight." I turn and give the guy sitting down a smile. Then I follow the guy outside to a black limo.

Annabella's pov

I am shopping around town when a big fat wet spot appears on my hand. I look up at the sky and see dark rain clouds forming. I look around then spot the coffee shop that I was looking for and run there. I find an empty table and put my stuff down. I order a coco caramel latté. I go back to my seat and pull out my laptop.

Minutes later I feel someone's hand on my shoulder. I look up to see a serious man in a drenched, fancy, suit. "May I help you?" I ask politely. He sits down. "Thank you, no other seats are available." Oh, so you just invite yourself to sit down at my table? I glance around and indeed find that there is not one open seat. I pull out my notebook. He looks at me funny. "What?" I ask. He smirks. "What are you doing?" I stare at him. "Studying for my kingdom economy class." He stares at me. "You know that they only let special nobles study those classes right?" What? Nanny assigned me to this class... Maybe it has something to do with my important grandpa? "I did not know that, how do you know that?" He shifts his gaze away from me. "I-I... I take the online course as well." I shut the computer and put my notebook away. "Do you perhaps... Never mind..." I quickly rid my mind of that thought. I thought he might know who my grandpa was and why he was so important that he couldn't visit a lot.

Suddenly the door swings open. I glance up. A man who just walked in is hurrying over to our table. "Miss Annabella, your grandfather would like to speak with you before the party." What party? Is he throwing a party? I stand up, and pretend that I know what's going on. "Ok, see you later." With that I follow the man out. He opens a white limo door. Do you happen to know where your sister is?" The man asks me, but I honestly don't know and I tell him so.

Arabelle pov

"Where are we going?" I ask the man driving the limo with me and Annabella. He looks at me irritably. "To your Grandfather's home." I stare out the window. "Who are you?" He gives me an evil eye. "I am Brice, your personal chauffeur." Then he smiles. "You really don't remember this life do you?" Annabella and I just stare at him. What life? "Don't worry, you'll remember soon enough." We sit in silence for what feels like an hour, but it is only five minutes according to my watch.

Then we approached the 'house'. It was really a castle. It was the biggest thing that I've seen anyone call home.

Belle pov

Girls! Come give your grandpa a hug." My grandfather greets not only my sisters and I, but also both sets of twins that are our best friends. "Welcome home to Merian Kingdom! These are your three personal butlers. Ryan- the main one, Paul, and Chad." We all look from the our grandpa to each other. "We have much to cover if you are to go to the ball tonight. You also have much to learn about yourselves as well." He gives us each a hug and beckons us to follow him into the throne room. "Your parents are triplets, and my only children. There for your best friends are really your cousins. I was the first born in my family and married into the right family, therefore I became the king of Merian. Don't worry about who you marry. One of you is already destined to take the throne. I know who that is, so don't worry about the marriage into the right family thing. And a tip: don't try to fight true love. Anyways where were we... Oh yes, only the first births have the chance to take the throne and so all of you are able to acquire the throne, but you will learn about the requirements for obtaining the throne later. Your mothers and your father were my first borns, unfortunately for them I haven't died before you came of age so they will never become the king or queens." When he said mothers he pointed to the two sets of twins and at father he pointed to me and my sisters. To become the king or in your case queen there are three major requirements that you will soon acquire. 1- must be direct blood lineage from the ruler before you, which so far are all of you. 2- must be of age, which is 21, and you'll be there soon. And the other big one, but don't worry about this one yet. 3- you must be married." We stared at him. "Oh there are seven of you! There is a legend in this kingdom about seven rulers, but you can't know the specifics until you are of age. Well anyways I'll let the idea that you are princesses sink in. Ryan, Paul, Chad, show the girls their rooms." With that huge bombshell my-our grandpa struts out of the room.

My room was huge! It had giant music notes on the walls, musical stuff, fancy expensive furniture, and my favorite movies and books in it. My closet. Had to be at least 2 times as big as Princess Mia's closet in Princess Diaries 2. I knew that everyone's rooms had to be just as amazing because of the squealing I heard.

The bathroom which was down the hall, was like a spa. It was complete with foot baths, massage chairs, need I go on? Soon we were all ready to go to our first ball as adults. Before we left Grandfather meet us at the door and told us not, under any circumstance to reveal who we truly are until we are all engaged or have a serious relationship, that way we go about our normal lives and easily coming to and from the palace for Princess training, without being hounded by reporters. Then he pulled me, Amalia, Isabelle, Arabelle and Annabella aside. "Girls, here are your tickets for the party. Those two were already invited so they don't need one. Have Fun!" We all took the tickets and climbed into the limo.

I can't believe that we are at the spot where one day we will all be married. I shake that thought from my mind. Wow! Nobel Michel, the largest castle in the world. It is best known for where only the members of the royal families of the 7 great kingdoms get married. We made our way into the castle of Nobel Michel. My auburn hair was straightened and had a small lavender flower in the back of my head. I had on a lavender floor length dress. Amalia's auburn hair was curled and looked like a princess style. Her bright green eyes looked stunning with the color dress she wore. She was wearing a banana yellow dress that complemented both her skin tone and eyes. Arabelle and Annabella's golden blonde hair was both curled, but Arabelle's was in a high ponytail, and that was the only way to tell them apart. They wore matching teal dresses, both had the same perfect tan, and bright ocean blue eyes. The triplets all wore their auburn hair in different updo styles. Thier ocean blue eyes sparkled in the light of the party. Belle wore a golden sparkly dress, Bella had a royal blue dress and Isabelle had a red dress. Bella's dress would have looked a bit more stunning on a bit paler girl, but she just barely pulled it off.

I looked around when we got inside. The guy said that he would meet me inside, so I broke away from the girls to look for him. I don't even know his name, how am I supposed to find him?


OK QUICK NOTE - SINCE THERE ARE 7 GIRLS THE 6 PRINCE'S ARE ONLY GOING TO KNOW ABOUT THE GIRL THEY LIKE SO THEY DON'T SOCIALIZE WITH THE OTHER PRINCESSES.


Prince Joshua pov

I stand on the balcony looking over the party. "Ladies and Gentleman. Please turn your attention to the balcony." I feel hundreds of stares upon me and the other princes. "The eyes of the world are upon them." They sure are. "The future kings of the six out of seven greatest kingdoms on earth." I look down and one lady catches my eye and I can't tear my eyes of her. She is wearing a teal dress and her hair looks that of a princess's. Her curled golden blonde hair sparkles in the light and right then I can just imagine her wearing a tiara. Wait… What am I thinking, I am a prince, she most likely is of low noble blood. From what I know, if she is of high noble blood then she'll be all traditional and so hard to please. Yet she intrigues me. A spotlight illuminates us. "Prince Edward of Charles… Prince Wilfred of Philip… Prince Keith of Liberty… Prince Roberto of Altaria… Prince Joshua of Dres Van…. And Prince Glenn of Oriens!" A great applause fills the room. "We hope to introduce the heirs of Merian kingdom soon." Nobel Michel winkes into the crowd. Does that mean she is here? I wonder?


Who should I upload first? Edward? Wilfred? Joshua? Glenn? Roberto? Keith? Or MYSTERY MAN? review who you want. first review will be the one, then second will be the chapter after that and so on.
