Aura
One Thousand Club
Giselle's blue eyes raked over the scenery of the city sprawling out around the castle and its grounds. Verria was quite large and always growing in size and in wealth. She knew that Verria was powerful and as the only heir that put her in a difficult position.
She was going to have to marry soon and because of her position she would not have the luxury of marrying for love. Taking her hand in marriage translated into forming an alliance with Verria and therefore her suitor couldn't be anyone unworthy.
That brought her today... the invitations had been sent and potential suitors had begun to file into the town and the population of people in the large castle had swelled as guest facilities began to fill. Today people would gather and she could meet the people competing to marry her and tomorrow would mark the actual beginning of the games. To anyone else, this would be a stressful day, but Giselle had already worked through her nerves and she was surprisingly calm. This whole event was necessary and she knew that if the decision was left in her own hands she would probably somehow make a mess and possibly ruin Verria's strong name. The competition was preferred.
Giselle turned away from her window and sucked in a deep breath of air as she meandered away and out of her room. Once she exited her bedroom a maid approvingly checked her over deeming her acceptable to meet those who would be arriving. Not only did they have to leave a good impression on her, but Giselle would have to impress them as well.
It took her next to no time to exit her tower and she picked up the skirt of her elaborate dress as she walked across the grounds. It was time to meet the suitors. The games would be beginning soon.
