Aria's P.O.V

I never really wanted this. I mean sure, don't all girls want to be princess? But I never thought about it. I live in Sumner so my wonderful city is the farthest from the capital; Angeles. I guess it just never occurred to me that i was the same age as the prince. That i could be selected. Since i was young all i wanted to do was draw. I'm a five so my family specializes in the arts. My dad writes, my mom sings, my sister draws and I draw as well. I know what your thinking your dad writes?!?! But that's not for fives!! Yes, he does, and he is pretty popular too.

Anyway, my life was pretty normal. My family had enough money to send us to school. It was a public school but it might as well have been private. Besides me and my sister there are ten other students. Those students aren't all even from Sumner. There are kids from Clermont and Waverly, too. Those are the closest provinces to us. Since we need to make the trip easy for everyone almost all the students have at least a half hour walk. I guess you could say its my exercise of the day... Yay.

So my life was normal. I had passed the basic and intermediate studies there so i went on to focus on my art. I thought all was well until the letter came.

"ARIA BELLE FORSTER COME HERE!" My mom yelled. I raced downstairs. When my mom uses my full name either I'm in huge trouble, or something bad is happening. To my surprise she was jumping up and down in excitement.

"Mom, what's wrong!" I say

She looks at me oddly. "Why would you think somethings wrong dear?" She asks

"Well you did use my full name..." I trail off. Then I notice the envelope in her hand. My eyes widen. I grab it from her and open it. Inside is a letter i never imagined i would get.

To the household of the Forster family.

According to our most recent census, we have confirmed that there is one woman between the ages of 16 and 20. As you may know, our princes, heirs of Illéa, his highness Prince Ethan Schreave and his brother Prince Jacob Schreave are coming of age this month. According to our tradition this means that they must marry a true daughter of Illéa. Enclosed is a form to be filled out for the selection. We will be collecting at all province offices from today to Wednesday of next week. The selected girls will be announced that Friday on the report. Please note that if you are selected there will be measures to be taken before you are allowed to come.

Thank You,
King Maxon Schreave and Queen America Singer

I look up. My mothers eyes are glistening. She looks like she is already imagining me as princess.

"I can't make them pick me" i say.

She nods still unable to speak.

"Let me think about it okay?" She nods

I take the envelope to the studio and start to paint. My brush swirls across the page. I don't know what i'm making but my hand seems to. So i let it move the paintbrush left right. I am still staring at the page as a picture of me in a gown appears when my sister appears behind me.

My sister is 14 years old. She is pretty much my best friend.

"I heard about the selection" maya says.

I jump "you scared me!" I say. I use my paintbrush and flick peach paint onto her nose. She retaliates with my blue paint swirled on my cheek. We start flinging paint at each other and by the time we're done we are both a rainbow of colors. We burst out laughing. The she stops and says again.

"I heard about the selection."

I look at her surprised them hug her and some tears escape from my eyes. "I just don't know what to do!" I say " i don't want to leave you guys. But you seem so happy for me." She smiles

"We are! I really think you could make it" she says

I look her in the eye the let go. I pick up the envelope and read through the letter again.

"I'm going to do it" i say. She claps her hands and jumps up and down. Wow she looks like my dad. Her blond curly hair and turquoise eyes, she would make a good princess.

"I probably won't even bet picked." I remind her

She smirks as if she knows something i don't. She leaves me to go to her easel and i go up to my room.

I fold the form and walk back down to my mom. She is playing the piano. When she sees me holding the form she jumps up and asks "ready to go?"

I sigh "yes" i put on my coat and we walk out the door.
