Maxon and Daniel stood in front of all the girls. Daniel gazed at Celeste as Maxon began with the introduction.
"So ladies, here is my brother and a mighty prince Daniel and he is going to help me with the selection. Let's begin with Lady Celeste, then Lady Elise, Kriss, Natalie, Marlee and finally Lady America." Daniel saw everyone as he spoke the names and shook hands with every single girl.
"These all are really awesome. It was really nice meeting all of you. You really got good luck, Maxon." Daniel spoke with his lips pursed into a smile.
Maxon chuckled and gave Daniel a winked smile. I could see that both of them were kind of generous brothers. Although they were still talking to us but I felt sleepy. Daniel stared at all the girls but his eyes didn't reach out for me and in that moment of time I yawned and unluckily he saw it. He gave a crooked smile flashing his white teeth.
"I am sorry… lady… " Daniel spoke while squinting.
"America, your majesty." I spoke
"Yeah, lady America, I think you should probably rest because it's been a lot of time in here. And you all must be feeling drowsy. We'll meet again afterwards. Am I right Maxon." He turned to face me and then Maxon
"Yeah, it'd be good for all of us." Maxon agreed
I felt so stupid and idiotic and kept thinking about what he must be thinking. Celeste grinned at me. I wanted to yell at her. But more than anyone, I wanted Maxon to know about it. Although Daniel also showed care towards me as Maxon does, but he seemed far more different than Maxon. Maxon would never do anything to embarrass me and it seemed kind of one that Daniel did.
"So, you all should start heading towards your room." Maxon spoke
The entire queue of girls started leaving except.
"Wait, it's not the time to rest. I mean, your majesty, don't you think that we all should get a chance to meet Prince Daniel." Celeste blurted out
We all started staring at Celeste and she seemed to stand like a valiant person amongst us. But, why did she do that.
"Well, perhaps some of you need rest. Isn't it Lady America?" Daniel looked at me.
I could see Celeste's expression getting rough towards me.
I got startled at once and spoke "Whatever you may think is appropriate, your majesty."
"I think you should meet the girls one by one." Maxon asserted
"You are right. Lady Celeste could be the first one." Daniel said
"I appreciate your decision, your majesty."Celeste spoke with honor
With this Celeste, Maxon and Daniel strolled along the hallway and moved out of our sight. I felt relaxed at the very moment and rushed towards my room without waiting for anybody to speak to me or stop me. I knocked and Lucy opened the door and I got myself buried inside the thick and soft white sheets of bed. Time passed away slowly.
I don't know after what time I woke up but it was evening while I curled down the sheets and motioned myself out of the bed into the shower to take a bath. I wondered what could be the consequence of what happened with me earlier because neither have I heard anything from Maxon or any other girl from the selection recently, not even Marlee. I couldn't find my dress so I called out for my maids but no one showed up and as I closed the door of washroom behind me I found a pretty dress hanging on the hook behind the door. I wore the dress and felt glowing with confidence. I felt like a fairy and put on my pink heels. I rushed towards my dressing table and added a tint of reddish pink lipstick to my naturally light pinkish lips. I wanted to thank my maids for such a pretty gown so I went out of my room and rushed towards the stairway. As I turned I got collided into some cloth of fur and I closed my eyes. I backed away and looked up to see.
