"You can't actually be considering going to the palace as if you're a prize mare that the royals get to decide if they want to breed with !" spoke a very outraged Matthew as he burst through the door of the small apartment the three siblings shared. He knew his little sister would be in the rocking chair reading like she almost always was when she wasn't at work. Behind Matthew followed the eldest brother, Andrew without a word. The two burly men walked into the living area of their small abode and stood there. Matthew looked indignant, yet Andrew only looked curious.

The girl who was deep within a novel found it hard to tear her eyes away to deal with her brothers. Her annoyance was radiating off her in waves before she even looked up. When she did look up, her eyes held the assumed annoyance. "I entered my name and was chosen. Read the clues Matt, I'm obviously considering it," she said simply in a condescending tone. The raven-haired beauty pulled the blanket she had wrapped around her slightly tighter as she glanced at the two men curiously.

"Do you have dreams of being a princess?" Matthew spoke yet again. He raised his eyebrows at her. He was clearly mocking the ideal.

"Calm down Matt, it's not like she's selling herself into prostitution. Almost every girl entered it. It wasn't unlikely that Melia would as well," the eldest and debatably wisest sibling finally broke his stoic silence and defended his sibling.

"I'm not following the crowd. I'm simply interested in seeing the palace. The money they send home weekly wouldn't hurt our financial situation either, and honestly watching a group of uneducated girls prance around trying to catch the eye of the world's most privileged and sheltered men would quite frankly be hilarious. I don't want to be a princess or a prostitute, thank you very much," the youngest spoke in defense of herself to the two boys who were towering over her. They each stood at least a head taller than Amelia, and especially since she was sitting down she felt like a dwarf.

"All you want is money and amusement?" Matt asked and scoffed at the idea. The man still wasn't sold on the idea of his little sister joining such a ridiculous process. Seriously, were royals so unlovable that they couldn't meet anyone on their own?

"If that's what you got from what I said, then sure, Matt, yes." Amelia sighed out in response to her brother. The girl was hoping he'd shut up. She had enough to think about without him coming in and throwing a fit about her leaving.

"I still don't like it..." Matt said with discontentment clear in his voice. "Just ignore him and try to make the best of it, ok. Send us some food. Don't expect us to save all the money they send for you. Become a jewel thief. Take over the world. Hell, do whatever you want," Andrew butt in and chuckled. He didn't share his younger brother's poor spirits.

"You got it, bro," Amelia shook her head and chuckled at her brothers. They sure were characters. "I leave for the palace in two days. I had already decided on going before you two got here." she said with a hint of a smirk on her face.

"Long live Queen Amelia," Andrew smirked right back. Both brothers mockingly bowed before taking their exit to their own separate rooms.
