The Festival

In the Early hours of the morning, Families bade goodbye to their Beloved Maidens as they were all dropped in Front of the Castle and they were all escorted by guards to the Lady's quarters.

Most of the Guards of the Castle wore a Purple Uniform, the Higher rank the Guard was the more different the colour of his Uniform would be, but every general Guards wore a Purple Uniform and there was a little white Lily embroidered on their Uniform.

Every Maiden was looking in awe at the beautiful interior of the Castle's walls, they were finally escorted to the common area by five common guards, where all of them were left to wander around.

Some Maidens had already made friends and there was some Chitter Chatter going on in every corner of the room.

There were indeed some beautiful damsels in the room, some were blonde, some were brunette some were red haired and had exotic eyes, anyone would be intimidated by the amount of beauties that were in the same room.

"Ladies Ladies" your Attention please, clapped a woman who seemed to be in her fifties she had, brunette hair and brown eyes, she looked Graceful and Dignified.

She wore a dark green laced dress that was in a ball gown style, it's long sleeves were also laced, she wore her hair up and there were some tints of white in her hair.

Once all the Maidens heard her voice they put an end to their Chatting and stood in line.

"Good Now that I have your attention, You all know why you are here, during the Period of your stay here I will be your guide" she said

"You can call me Lady Marli" she continued

"Good Morrow Lady Marli" replied all the Ladies as the curtsied

"During your stay here, I want nothing but your best behavior, should I hear any reports of tyrannizing from any one of you, your stay here has expired... Am I clear?" she asked as she showed authority

"Yes Lady Marli" they all replied

"Good Now follow me" she said as she walked away from the common room into the corridor.

Some Maidens could not contain their excitement, while some pretended to be clam but deep within them they were bubbling with eagerness.

"Each one of you will get your own personal area" said Lady Marli as she continued to walk.

"Today begins the first day of the Three day purification, so later today I will send my girls to start the Purification process" she said

"Oooh I can't wait to be pampered" said One Maiden as she jumped for joy.

"I can't wait to meet the Prince I hear he's handsome" replied another Maiden

Some Maidens looked from rich homes while other's looked from the Middle class, there was no real difference between them, except for the fact that the Upper Class Maidens appeared more delicate while the Middle class appeared more rugged.

But this was the time for all of them to receive the same treatment with no bias whatsoever.

"Now Ladies as you can see there are rooms ahead of you, please walk in a dignified Manner and choose the room most suitable to you, now if you would excuse me, I have some other matters to attend to" she said

"Dawn" she called

"Yes My Lady" replied a brown-haired girl called Dawn

"Please settle our guests in" said Lady Marli

"Yes My Lady" she said as he bowed her head

Once Lady Marli was out of sight Dawn took over.

"Okay Ladies please choose your rooms and rest, Lunch will be served in the Common Dining Area"

"Thank you" replied a kind Maiden in the Crowd

From there is was all Ladies scurrying around to get a nice room, keeping in mind that irrespective of who they thought they were, they were under subjection to a higher power in the castle.
