So this is when the girls meet Matt. You won't know about each one, but you will know the outcome. Please do the usual.

Chapter 5

I told the girls to be in the Women's room ready at 7:30 a.m. When I got there at that exact time, they were all there. Good, they pasted the first test. Once again I walked up to the little stage and talked to them once again.

'Okay ladies, as I told you yesterday, you will meet my brother today. You will each talk to him for about 5 minutes. While you wait, you will eat breakfast. The first lady will talk to him at 8:00 a.m. Until then we will do a quick etiquette lesson on eating. Now there are a cards at each place on the table. You have all been assigned a spot. Now if you could please take your seats.' I waited a moment before saying,'I would like to warn you ladies that there is most likely will be an elimination after you all meet the Prince.'

They all scurried to their places. I started my lesson with the girls. Most of them got it easily. But some had trouble, so it took a little bit. The time eventually got away from me. I heard a knock at the door. A maid went to get it, she came over to me and whispered in my ear.

'It is Prince Tyler. Would you like me to let him in?'

'That would be appreciated.'

Ty walked into the room with a big grin on his face. He knew that the girls would be falling over him. Even though they aren't here for him. He headed straight for me.

'Good morning Princess Charlotte Amberly Schreave. How are you doing this fine morning?' I decided to play along.

'Oh darling, Prince Tyler Antonio Emanuele, I am having a wonderful morning. Getting up early is my favorite thing to do.' My act was over. I hit him in the arm. I heard a collective gasp because of that.

'Now Ty, say hello to the 35 ladies competing for Matt's heart.'

'Hello ladies. I am sure that I will see a lot of you for a while. And if you win, I will haunt you for the rest of your life. Considering I am so close with the Schreave family.' That got him a giggle.

'Now ladies I would like you to meet my best friend, Prince Tyler.'

I heard all of them say a 'good morning your highness', with a little sigh at the end. That made me chuckle.

'Charlie, um, you have gone over the time, this ladies need to start meeting Matt.'

'Shoot, thank you for telling me.'

'And thank you for letting me meet these wonderful and beautiful ladies.' He flashed another grin. And cue the sigh. And my giggle.

'Now as Prince Tyler goes back to breakfast. I will be escorting you to the dining hall, where you will meet my brother. The order of the ladies will start with Lady Valerie and will end will Lady Carly. The order is alphabetical by providence.'

Once we got to the dining room and settled, I told a maid to let Matt in. I watched the doors open, cue another sigh. He smiled shyly and sweetly. I could tell he was still nervous. I walked over to Matt and whispered to him,

'You will be starting with Valerie and ending with Carly.'

'Thanks sis, wish me luck' He started towards the couch were the interviews will partake.

'Luck'

I walked over to the table and sat next to Ty. Eli and Bella walked in and sat down. Bella looked over at us.

'Hey guys what are we going to do today?'

'I don't know, what would you like to do? We have some free time in the early afternoon but before dinner I have a lesson for the girls that will be remaining.'

'Okay, Eli what do you want to do til then?' That made them fly into conversation.

'So did Matt say the number of girls that he is hoping to eliminate.' Matt had discussed numbers with me a little bit.

'I think he wants to eliminate 10 girls'

'That's a good start'

After the interviews, Matt came over to talk to me and Ty.

'I think I would like to eliminate Logan Williams, Zoe Mason, Aubrey Walker, Elizabeth Robins, Sarah Hall, Mia Smith, Jayden Taylor, Abby Young, Leah Duffy, and Isabella Jones. I said 10. And I found 10 that I don't really have a connection with.'

I was wondering who he is liking so far.

'Hey who stood out to you?'

'Well I really liked Valerie Miller, Laura Moore and Carly Jackson. There were others, but they made an impact.'

Obviously I knew Valerie, Laura is a famous singer and Carly is the daughter of the governor of Zuni. I knew Valerie would get along with the family, and Laura would too, the only offspring of m that got her musical ability is Elliot.

'So are you going to make the announcement.'

'Yeah, are the rest going to go with you to the Women's room?'

'Yeah, I'm going to tell them their schedule. Good luck.'

'Can I see Ladies Logan, Zoe, Aubrey, Elizabeth, Sarah, Mia, Jayden, Abby, Leah, and Isabella. The rest can you please follow my sister and Prince Tyler.'

The girls all knew what that meant. But they followed directions. Once I got all of the girls settled in the Women's Room, I told Ty that I could handle it from there.

'Okay ladies as you could probably guess, you made it through the first of the eliminations. Congratulations!' I paused to give them a small round of applause.'Now I would like to go over your daily schedules. Breakfast is at 7:45. Lunch is at 12:15. Dinner is at 6:45. You are allowed to take meals in your room, but it is prefered that you eat them here. There will be days where it will be required for you to be here for announcements at meals. Unless you are sick, then I'm sure that Prince Matthew will tell you separately. You have lessons with me at 2:00 every other will never be lessons on Sundays. Then you have the rest of the day free to work on any work you may have to do, go on a date, or to just relax. Now I know this is your first day, but you will have plenty of time to work on this project. In 2 weeks we will be having our Halloween Ball, and the 25 of you will be planning it.'

Most of them looked a little stressed.

I told them to separate themselves into groups of 5. Group 1 will work on the guest list. Group 2 is the food. Group 3 is the decorations. Group 4 is the theme. Group 5 will be in charge of making sure each girl has a costume.

'Now you are allowed to ask for help from myself, Prince Matthew, Prince Tyler, or the King or Queen. Please just ask at an appropriate time. My mother will be the most help before me, and she will be in here most of the time. Don't be afraid to ask for help, this is a big responsibility. But I believe in you. Also I advise you not to ask Prince Elliot or Princess Arabella, they don't know much. If you ask them together, then you may walk into a trap.' I ended with a smile, and got the giggle I was hoping for.

The girls have their project to work on for the next two weeks. Matt has been trying to take out 3 girls a day. Over the past 4 days he has gotten through half of the girls and sent home 3 of them. So after Day 5, he has 22 girls left. He took Valerie on the first date. They had fun, or at least Matt did, which is great. I would be glad to have Valerie as a sister. I try to talk to Valerie in the Women's room, but some many of the girls have had question, and I'm the easiest to ask. I don't blame them for having questions. They want to get this perfect.

Matt, Ty, Bella, Eli and I decided to get together before the Report on Friday. We wanted to discuss halloween costumes. Matt is being left out a bit, because the rest of us are pairing up to do our halloween costumes.

Mom and Dad are going to go as a princess and prince from the late 20th century. Mom is going to go as the Disney Princess, Ariel, because she has the hair for it. Dad is going to go as her prince, Prince Eric.

Ty and I are going to go as Mario and Luigi. They are apart of a videogame that came out in the 20th century but was popular throughout the 21st century. I am going to be Mario, the red one, and Ty is going to be Luigi, the green one. By the way, I am proud of Ty because he came up with a good costume idea for us.

Eli and Bella are going as Thing 1 and Thing 2. They were apart of a book that the author, Dr Seuss. He wrote books in the 20th century.

Matt is going to go as a pirate. Dad went as one during his Selection, so Matt decided to too. Also Matt doesn't have a best friend or wife to do a partner costume with.

The week before the Halloween ball is so exciting. All the guests arrive the day before or that day. Lucky for me somebody arrived earlier.

ooh. A cliffhanger. Sorry. Until next week. Tell me who you think the person(s) is/are.
