The note had come in a pretty brown envelope, with the royal Crest holding the envelope shut with gold wax. Captain Virgil Salem, strategist of the Crai Royal Gaurd and extensive Military, was slightly surprised to find two of the envelopes in the box for barrack room 301 that morning. True, the ball had been the talk of the castle for 4 days time now, and both Virgil and his roommate and co-Captain, Captain Roman Sinclair, were both of age.
However, as Captains of the Royal Guard, they were ineligible to be considered for any of the Princes hand in Marriage, especially the Crowned Princes.
Not that that stopped wondering eyes and lustful gazes. Virgil knew, and was just as guilty, of the sins against the Crown that his best friend was committing.
Still, Virgil left the letter addressed to "Captain Roman Sinclair of the Royal Guard" on the dining room table of their small barracks room, and circled the date on the calendar, before going to find an acceptable outfit. Blatantly ignoring the fact that the handwriting of the two invitations weren't the same, and Roman's seemed personalized in a way that was borderline- and just barely borderline- suspicious.
