you step out of the carriage, thanking the footmen as he takes your hand and leads you out, and you look around at the beautiful stone palace in front of you. you were almost left speechless. you tuck a piece of hair behind your ear. as a princess of age, you and many other women had been called to the kingdom of prince bucky. he was to choose a wife to become queen.

a few guards tell you and the other women to line up across the entrance of the palace as a a tall man immediately turns the corner. you immediately tense up as he approaches. something about the way he walked made all heads turn. the prince walks down the line of women, but you’re the only one he makes eye contact with before he continues walking.
