The Change over
I followed Effie down the hall and into a separate carriage which featured a huge mahogany dining table adorned with a velvet table cloth and bowls of fruit. The room was stunning; it was more regal and lavish than any of the rooms found in the Estate back home-back in Twelvania. Effie gestured into the room smiling "Now, your highness" she said in her high trill "please have a seat and I shall brief you on the coming events"
"Events? What events? Is there going to be a parade or something?" I knew that the union (no matter how much I held it in distain) would be celebrated in Capitol City as a huge event, but by the sounds of what Effie was saying there is a whole lot more.
"Well, your Highness" she smiled "First there will be what is called the 'Change over' this is when you change from a dukes son to princess consort" My eyes went as wide as plates after hearing that, she just giggled "Oh, no not like that" she smiled "You will just change from wearing anything of a foreign nature example your clothing, belongings etc. and be dressed in Capitol style clothing"
"But, you said I would be called Princess Consort?" I questioned
"Well, yes that will be your title after the changeover today. You can't be a prince consort that title will be given to Prince Cato"
ARE YOU KIDDING! Not only am I to endure a marriage to a man I know nothing of with everyone in Panem watching and judging my movements, but I am to be emasculated as well. I maybe gay but that don't mean I want to be called 'Princess' and 'Her Majesty'.
Before I could say anything Effie went back to rambling "After this we will continue our journeys to Capitol City were upon arrival you will be greeted by The King and his son, you're betrothed. After this a great Banquet will be held in your honour and you will be shown to your future accommodations after the Marriage which will take place the following Morning"
"Wait? I am to be married in a days' time" I shout "That is impossible, I barely know the prince and I am to be his spouse and to share chambers with him when I know not a thing about him"
"Calm yourself" Effie rings like a small bell "You will get to know the Prince during your marriage, which gives you a whole lifetime to get to know him" she smiles. A whole lifetime to get to know him and if I don't like him an eternity of suffering how much worse could this get. Then I remember, I am doing this for Twelvania.
The train then slows down and I see we have pulled up next to a station decorated with lavish fabrics and the flag of Capitol City hanging from the top. "Is… this it?" I say awed by not only the decorations but the people as well. They looked more doll like and fake than Effie.
"Yes, your Majesty it is time for the changeover!" she squeaked
I stepped out of my train and began what was called the changeover. I was confused about what the point of this was. I was stripped totally naked and I could feel my face flush when I saw everyone looking at me. Then I was dressed in marble white trousers which were connected to a purple satin drape at the back which made it look like I was wearing a dress. When they put on the tight fitting purple button up shirt I was already fuming. The idea was to make it look like I was a bride, but I managed to compose myself and take it. The final 'touch ups' were the white hat which tilted slightly to the side and had a red rose in it, painting my nails purple and the white platforms which tilted to look like a heel.
"Well, you're Majesty. You are done and may I say you look splendid" chimed Effie
"Not the word I would have used my lady" I replied through gritted teeth
"Now hop aboard the next train and off to Capitol City" she practically sung
I had gotten onto the train and it speed off. Not long after I saw the glittering spires of Capitol City. It was… words couldn't describe the city, it practically shone with its tall buildings and the Palace was huge. The Garden surrounding it looked like a Spring Forest. In the middle of Winter.
"Say Hello" I said under my breath "To your Princess"
