ADRIENNE DID WHAT?
REPORTED BY: Hannah Price.
ILLÉA TELEGRAPH

And I thought this Selection was getting boring! Adrienne just eliminated most of her candidates, leaving only Rowan from Allens, Kael from Angeles, Jayton from Bonita, Richard from Fennley, Oakley from Hansport,  Elijah from Kent, Eikko from Likely , Jaxon from Midston , and Eren from Yukon!

As soon as the princess announced this, quite literal uproar sounded all over the country! That was until Miss. Ember Valdez herself managed to steal an interview with the girl. Here's what I got from that.

Ember: Adrienne! This..this is absurd! You've already narrowed it down to nine?

Adrienne: Not quite.

Ember: Could you elaborate?

Adrienne: If I must..*sighs*. I'm bringing in a second wave of Selected. Only from the provinces of which I just eliminated though. I'd like to call in those from

Carolina,
Clermont,
Columbia,
Dakota,
Labrador,
Lakedon,
Paloma,
Panama
and Whites.

Ember: This surprise elimination is still absolutely absurd, Princess! Why did you eliminate these Selected to begin with?

Adrienne: I never even saw them, Ember. If you're going to put your name in for my Selection, I'd at least like to see you around the palace.

Along with the interview I eavesdropped on between Ember and Princess Adrienne,  I managed to catch up with Queen Edith and King Clayton to discuss this Second Wave malarkey.

Hannah: The rest of the family must have had a say in this! What's your perspective on  this Second Wave?

Clayton: *he..slowly laughs* Women are indecisive..I just wish she had came to me for advice..this was kind of rash.

Edith: I..I agree. I do think that her decision was a bit rash, and I hope that she understands the impact of her actions..

Hannah: Who's idea was this whole thing?

Clayton: Adrienne's. Nobody knew about this.

Edith: Her keeping a secret is quite unusual, too..

Hannah: Don't you think this is slightly confusing for the public?

Clayton: I have no doubt, but I trust her in whatever she's doing.

Edith: Like I said, I just hope that she understands the impact that her decisions have..

Hannah: You can't have possibly expected anything like this to come from your daughter's Selection, right? Or did you?

Clayton: Well, this whole scene itself was unexpected. I can't say that I saw anything coming.

Edith: How could anybody have seen this coming?!

Hannah: It was nice speaking with you!

Clayton: And you, Miss. Price.

Edith: Mhm.

Wellllllll. At least we know what the mother and father think, eh? We got a crap ton done today though! I managed to catch up with Jaxon Chambers, and Kael Steele too, along with some others. I decided to interview them and see their perspective on everything!

Hannah: Oh my goodness, hi! Hi hi! *pants*. Sorry to chase you down! I just wanted to know if it was cool for you to answer a few questions for the Telegraph?

Kael: Ah, sorry I didn't see you. *laughs*. Sure, I can do that for you.

Jaxon: Oh! Umm, sure! I wouldn't mind answering!

Hannah: What do you two think about Adrienne's freak elimination?

Kael: I wasn't expecting it. Normally Adrienne has a bit of a hard time deciding these things and can be rather..timid? In these scenarios. To see her get up and dismiss all these people, somethings definitely been happening behind the scenes.

Jaxon: Well, I am a little surprised to be perfectly honest. I didn't realise that would've happened so soon.

Hannah: Your views on the Second Wave malarkey?

Kael: Glad not to be eliminated, but I'm still wondering..how bad did those first dates go? *chuckles*. I almost feel bad for Adrienne, having to go through all this at one time..

Jaxon: I'm actually interested to see what happens with this next wave. I'd like to get to know them more as well too.

Hannah: How do you think that your standing is with this drastic change?

Kael: Honestly, I hate to say it but the elimination saved my ass. Ah, I mean, it gave me a little more confidence. Though if it's getting tighter, I have to step up my game, of course.

Jaxon: As of right now I'm just surprised I'd even made it this far. Personally I'm humbled that I was even considered to stay. Considering all the pressure for Princess Adrienne though, I'm honestly impressed. But if it were to happen that I don't make it out alive...*chuckles*. I'd hope to still be very good friends with her if at all possible.

Hannah: Did you know that Adrienne planned all this without anybody else knowing?

Kael: She didn't tell anybody? That isn't like her...

Jaxon: Also, I wasn't aware that she'd planned this. It comes as a bit of a shock really.

Hannah: It was so lovely getting to speak with you! I hope to see you around!

Kael: Ah, the pleasure was mine. Hope to see myself on the front page *joking*.

Jaxon: And likewise! It was a pleasure!

I can't believe the amount of people I got to interview today! But I mean, what the princess is doing is insane, right? Can you blame the public for going absolutely crazy? Before we get onto the last interview I managed to snatch for the day, I thought I'd see what some of the public thought.

Heidi Walker, 47: My god, I think the princess is bloody crazy! I don't know what in the hell she thinks she's doing or achieving with this.

James Hopkins, 14: I..I don't know. I think she should be able to do whatever..I-It is her getting married at the end of the day! She should find the right person!

Olivia Sheffield, 29: I couldn't care less! Now please, I must be on my way, my 9th child Jessica is - NORMAN! I told you to get off of the swing set!

Mark Oliver, 32: She's fucking crazy, but I get why she's doing it.

Hehe!  As expected, there are a LOT of mixed views on Adrienne's decision. Can you  blame them?! Regardless, my final interview was with Adrienne's  younger brother, Rory.

Hannah: Hi, Rory! It's a pleasure to meet you. Would you mind answering a few questions for me?

Rory: *he nods, not saying anything as he looks down at his shuffling feet*

Hannah: What do you think about this Second Wave?

Rory: T-The Second Wave? Um..w-wasn't it too early to eliminate t-that many people?

Hannah: Do you think that your sister is right in her decision to do this?

Rory: Mother told me that this was a-adult stuff so I-I should stay out of it.. *he then mouths* Mom's been mad recently. *he then snaps back to things* Uh...no and yes? S-She should've gotten to know them more, but...uh..i-its her oversight.

Hannah: I can't imagine how overwhelmed you must feel. How's this been for you?

Rory: I-It isn't too bad...nobody's really bothering or approaching me. So in that way I'm not so anxious, but I do want a friend..

Hannah: It was so nice talking with you! I hope to see you around!

Rory: Oh! Uh..s-sure! *he then turns and quickly scurries off, before returning* Q-Quentin things you're cute! E-Er, you probably didn't need to...uh..bye! *and he ran off*.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHJJJJJJHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHJJJJJJHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHJJJJJJHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHJJJJJJHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Okay, I'm chill.  Quentin thinks I'm cute, Quentin thinks I'm cute, Quentin thinks I'm — and I need to wrap this up.

I'm curious about what you guys though, my READERS, think. Do you think that the princess has finally lost her shit? Or are you on board with her drastic measures?

Signing off,
