When the last girls had been interviewed, we all sat down and watched our arrivals. Everybody's was the same. Mine was ordinary, they showed me saying good bye to my mom and dad. It was touching I started to cry a little even though that was me. We got a tour of the palace by Silvia jr. who was going to be our teacher. Then we went to dinner. I was shocked that only Queen America, King Maxon and Princess Madeleine. I curtsied as I walked in then took the seat that had my name on it. It was Beside Kaitlyn Jewel from Belcourt a 4 and Mzia Rosewater form Waverly a 5. The food was amazing but I made sure not to eat too much I didn't want a stomach ache. Katlyn or Katie as she preferred to be called was very nice. We talked all through dinner. Mzia was very shy. But she seemed sweet.

After dinner, we had the most amazing cake it was called Red Velvet. It was so good. I could tell a lot of the other girls liked it to. When we were, all finished. Silvia showed us to our rooms. Mine was down a little corridor with Mzia, Katie and Aria. It was nice. I walked into my room to find 3 maids waiting for me.

"Hello miss, my name is Ava I am your head maid and these are Julia and Rachel." She said signaling to the other two. They both waved. I smiled." Nice to meet you all" I said.

After out introductions, a got ready for bed in a pair of fleecy pajama pants and a tank top. I walked over to Mzia's room and invited her to come sleep in mine for the night. I asked Katie and Aria too. We all curled up on the extra mattresses the maids brought in and watched a movie in front of the fire. At about midnight the maids told us we should all go to bed.

The maids woke us up by opening the curtains on my balcony. We all decided to get ready in Mzia's room. All the maids seemed to know each other so there were lots of talking going on. They left my hair down in waves and gave me some light makeup. I had on a blue dress with a green flower and sash at the waist. Instead of going straight to the dining hall we were told to go to the great room. When we entered, we saw there were individual tables set up along one side of the room and in the far corner there were two chairs. The camera crew were also there ready to film are reaction when we met the prince. I chose a table near the center of the room with Mzia and Aria on either side of me.

When all the girls arrived, Silvia walked in and started teaching us proper table manners. I knew some already that my parents had taught me but a few didn't seem to know many. After about half an hour I was starting to get hungry.

Then the doors opened…

Prince Cameron walked in and I immediately got to my feet and curtseyed, the other girls followed. I sat back down and but my hands on my lap politely.

"Welcome ladies, I will talk with you all individual so please be patient" He said then walked away.

Slowly every girl got up and walked over to the couch in the corner of the room. When it was my turn I walked over slowly and made sure not to trip or anything. I curtseyed quickly before sitting down.

" Good morning your Highness." I said

"Please just call me Cameron" He said with a laugh.

"Ok Cameron I'm Milena."

"Hello Milena how are you enjoying the palace so far?"

"It's beautiful here. I really want to go see the gardens" I answered.

" Well how about tomorrow at 3 will go for a horseback ride through the gardens," he said tentatively.

" That would be amazing your high-I mean Cameron" I quickly corrected myself.

" So, Milena what do you like to do"

"Well I like to write stories and read" I said.

" That's amazing." He looked around the room, "looks like some of those girls are getting restless so I look forward to tomorrow" He said standing up and bowing.

"Me too Cameron" I said then curtseyed then walked away.

I have a date tomorrow!

I tried to sit still through the rest of the meetings. After the last girl sat down, Cameron stood up and walked to the center of the room.

"Ladies if I have asked you to stay can you please stay sited as for the others you are free to go now."

I stood up with a handful of other girls and left the room with Silvia. She escorted us to the dining room. I curtsied then took my seat and helped myself to some food. It was delicious as usual. Cameron walked in 5 minutes later. I guess that was the first elimination. From my count, there were only 15 girls left including me. He was definitely trying to do this fast.

The rest of the day was uneventful we had lessons with Silvia and talked in the Women's room.

The day of my date I woke up bright and early because I was so excited. My maids had got me a nice pair of riding pants and a nice shirt and cardigan. I loved horseback riding. I went a couple times with my dad when he was working at the local barn. I was amazed how much I loved it.

Cameron came to my room at 10 and showed me to the barn. He let me chose my horse while he took his. It was a black Hanoverian called Midnight. I ended up choosing a white Connemara called Jazz. We saddled up and went around the gardens. We raced for a bit just around the gardens. Then he showed me the jumping ring. It was amazing g and he even started teaching me how to jump. I hadn't done any real jumps yet put I was working up to it. He said that he would teach me twice a week. I think I was in heaven.
