THE WELCOMING BALL
REPORTED BY: Hannah Price.
ILLÉA TELEGRAPH

Hi everyone! I'm not dead, I was just preparing for possibly my BIGGEST EVER story. Princess Adrienne Schreave's Selection! Gah, this is so exciting. As I'm sure you all know, the princess held her welcoming ball two nights ago so she could get to know her suitors better. I wasn't actually..invited..but I was allowed to watch from outside, and boy did I take that opportunity! I was also able to steal an interview with the princess, and her older brother, Quentin. Gosh, isn't he so dreamy..? THIS REPORT IS NOT ABOUT HIM, HAN. Anyway, hehe. Here's the interview I was honoured to have with the two.

Hannah: I just wanted to tell you how much of an honour it is to be able to interview you both.

Adrienne: Please, Hannah. The pleasure is all ours.

Quentin: I mean...

Hannah: Oh my goodness, you're both so sweet! Anywho, do you have any favourites yet?

Quentin: I really did like Oliver, but I heard, with great disappointment,  that he had to head home to care for his ill mother.  The rest..ell, they haven't really approached  me, except  for a few.

Adrienne: I honestly don't really know. Jaxon is really nice, so are Kael, Richard, Rowan..they're all so lovely. Oh, yeah. I completely agree with Quentin. Ashton too..it's really sad..

Hannah: Are you excited?

Adrienne: Oh, it's unreal!  It's so interesting to have all of these people from different backgrounds come to the palace..nevermind the Selection aspect!

Quentin asked for his answer not to be included in this interview.

Hannah: What's it like suddenly having 30 odd guys in the palace?

Adrienne: I thought that my brothers and all of these guards were a handful, if that says anything..

Quentin:  I mean, I wish it was thirty girls! *chuckles*. "It's exciting, sure, especially  to get to meet so many people, but I did wish they left alone my guitar..I have no clue where it is!

Hannah: One elimination already? My goodness! If it's not too secret, do you mind telling us what happened? Ellery Finch from Waverley, correct?

Adrienne stayed quiet the entire time, looking out of the window.

Quentin: "Ellery Finch from Waverley was a disrespectful——— was a disrespectful man with the decency to  come into my castle, openly state he's only here for power, and finish up by insulting my sister and not paying heed to my words. I'm just glad Adrienne was there to boot him for  me.

Hannah: Who do you think are the most attractive, hm? *giggles*

Quentin chuckled, raising an eyebrow at his sister.

Adrienne: I'm not answering that!

Hannah: Princess Adrienne, who dances the best? We want the real tea here at Illéa Telegraph!

Adrienne: Hm..I don't know. I think I'd have to say Rowan! It was his first time dancing I think, and he was really good!

Hannah: What's it like to have 35 guys all after your hand in marriage at once?

Adrienne: Overwhelming, to say the least...I've had to hide away from it all more times than I care to tell.

Hannah: Can I hug you? Or would that be too inappropriate? Ah, I'm hugging you!

Adrienne: Pardon? O-Oh, sure!

Quentin:  I mean-oh! Okay.

Hannah: Adri, do you think that you'll find someone?

Adrienne: I'd certainly like to think so.

That was actually all that we had time for, which is super sad! But Quentin plays guitar? My god, could he get any more perfect?

Signing off,
