The princes are arriving home from France today. All of the selected have been gathered in the entryway of the palace. A small party/gathering has been planned. The usual food table and a few decorations are out. The queen, who organized this, is standing of to the side is talking with Alexandria in quiet voices.

And finally, the princes arrive. All three of them- wait... there's four? How can there be four princes when only three left?

All the princes seem to be in pleasant moods for once. Ben has a bright smile of his face, Logan is holding back laughter at something that must have been said earlier, and even James has a tiny grin on his face. And the last prince... well, just wait.

"Boys... what's going on?" Queen Phoebe addresses the group with an angry edge in her voice, though she does her best to hide it.

"Well we brought back the ladies a souvenir that we were sure they would love," Logan replied with his signature smirk.

"Long time, no see, your majesty," Prince Noah of France finally spoke to the queen directly, throwing her a charming smile.

"I'll deal with this later," the queen said abruptly. She sent a look to the princes, which they all knew what that meant, before she stalked off. Her heels clacked as she walked away.

"For some reason I don't think she's happy to see me," Prince Noah commented to the princes.

"Really? How could you tell?" James replied with the same level of sarcasm as Noah.

"Oh stop bickering, love birds," Logan teased Noah and James, earning a glare from James and a laugh from Noah.

"So ladies, I guess I have an announcement," Logan said as he finally addressed the group of girls all gathered and watching the exchange.

"It has become apparent to us that there are quite a few of you, and only three of us. So, as of now I guess, our friend Noah, whom you might recognize is just as much part of the selection as any of us. Now, this is quite last minute, and not thought out at all. If you have questions, I guess you'll have to deal with it because we don't have the answers. Accept, no, he's not definitely marrying one of you. Who knows how long he's staying," Logan said with a shrug. "We'll see I guess. No use wasting a good party, let's have some fun!"

There's a new prince in the selection! Exciting, no? Why was the queen so mad? Why does Noah want to join the selection? Are French girls not good enough for him? We'll see...

Start a chain and tag me with the royal you want to talk to.
