Royal Introductions
Xeria sighs and fidgets her fingers nervously as she sits in her room, waiting for one of the servants to come and get her. The guests are arriving at the castle now and are in the grand ballroom with her fathers. She will be joining them soon. Her uncle, Luxord would be the one presenting her to the gathered royals. It's the ball celebrating her nineteenth birthday. Eligible bachelors from the surrounding kingdoms have been invited and she's expected to dance, or at least speak with all of them before the night is through. Now that she is nineteen, she's expected to start looking for a husband. Her father's have promised her that they would not force her to marry anyone who she did not agree to and are going to leave the choice primarily up to her.
She's very nervous because she doesn't want to mess up and she's scared that she won't be able to find anyone she likes enough to want to marry them. She takes a deep breath and calms herself some. She stands when there's a knock at the door. She follows the servant down to the doors of the Grand Ballroom which will open above a large set of stairs which she will be walking down with her uncle. He smiles when he sees her and gives her a hug. "You look absolutely lovely, Xeria. Ready to meet your possible suitors?"
Xeria sighs and nods, taking his offered arm and composes herself, "I'm as ready as I'll ever be," She replies before the doors open and she is announced by the caller. "Presenting the Princess Xeria Free, being present by the Loud Luxord." They stop at the top of the stairs, Luxord bow and Xeria curtsies to the gathered royals before descending down the stairs.
