"If I may be so bold, my lord? I think I love her. "Joseph said, standing up. He then went to where the princes were supposedly gathering. Joseph may not hold any titles, but he was born nobility, and from the Defense at the Fief, a Natural Battle-master.

The other prince's where gather in the throne room including the new prince from his kingdom. When Bell entered they all bowed to her. At her side was her mother, a maid and London. "I did not expect there to be so many." she whispered to her mother. "We narrowed it down to thr..." when she caught sight of Joe she corrected herself. "Four."

Joseph leaned against a piller, glaring at the prince from his home. Memories came back to him of the princes father, who stole all that he knew, but would not disrespect Bell by fighting him. Instead, he wore his pendent , with the old royal zephyrus noble family symbol

The prince meet his glare with an even cool look. "well the best thing to do is spend time with each of you to get to know you better." Bell sighed. "Let's begin." she picked the prince from his kingdom and lead him away so they could speak.

Joseph snuck by the two, making sure to keep out of sight, but within ear-shot.

London was with them of course keeping with in stabbing distance. Bell seemed to be enjoying herself laughing and letting his place a flower in her hair.

((message me.))

Joseph kept listening in, being careful not to make any screw-ups.

When he leaned down to kiss her she gasped and pulled away. "Alright I won't push." he smiled and took his leave. She went back to the throne room and went threw the other two prince's before getting him.

Joseph followed behind Bell. "Tell me about yourself, Bell. "he said. He didn't want to make her mad, or disrespect her, so he didn't bad-mouth the other princes.

"What do you want to know?" Bell thought a moment. "I like flowers, the color blue and horse rides."

"Your beauty reminds me of a flower in Spring. "Joseph said, smiling. "You remind me of the blue ocean.....calm, peaceful, and collected, but when upset, violent, and stormy. You're a magnificent person."he said.

Bell turned a dark pink color and looked away. "I'm not that great." she mumbled and looked up at him with a shy smile.

"You're not great. You're amazing. "He said, kissing her hand. He then went to wait for her decision, with the other princes.

Bell mulled it over. "I narrowed it down to two." she gestured to him and the other prince from his kingdom. "I will spend the next two weeks with you mixing the days. You will be but to the test to the best of my abilities." she dismissed the other two. "Go rest both of you then you may take me on a date each later."

"It would be my honor, Lady Bell. "he said, and went to the room where the other prince was sent. He then sat down, and dropped his Civility. "You know who I am, don't you?

"Of course I do." The prince snorted. "I am Erik...I have no hard feeling against you I was just a boy when father did what he did. However he is know king and I will fight with honor for the princess's hand in marriage receiving my place on my father's throne by my own means."

"I hold no animosity towards you either, but understand, I lost 'everything' to your father. I will take back what I lost, because that's all I have left. I care about Bell alot, and I wish to see her happy, and having the family she deserves. "he said.

"Then let the best man win the ladies heart." Erik smile at him and held out his hand for him to shake. "Good luck.''

Joseph shook it, giving the man a smile. "May the best man win.....I must make you father pay, but you and your mother, whoever she may be, will not suffer for his crimes. "He said.

"You are a better man then my father." Erik sighed then stretched. "It was a hard ride from the kingdom you can go for your date first while I rest." He grinned.

"Thank you. May fortune and glory guide our ascension."he said

"Mhm." Erik wondered off to take a nap. Bell was in the throne room looking threw the book she was reading.

Joseph put on the best attire he had, which was little more than traditional tribe robes, and walked up to Bell. "Are you ready, Lady bell?"he asked.

"Ready!" Bell smiled and took his arm. "Where shall we go?" she asked leaning against him.

"Hm.....something simple, but romantic. "he said. "I know the perfect place. How about a picnic at Ever-Moon meadow?" he askd.
