As My Heart Dies-Chp15

Wander: [once in the throne room, break away frm the suitors crowd n hid behind a pillar to peek at the ceremony]

Loathe: [sees the suitors n whispered to Hater] Wow, tht is a LOT of suitors :|

Hater: ^^;; Yup. (whispers) You've seen Grimm crush on a few people as a kid, right? Paid close attention?

Loathe: Hmm... Too many ppl to keep track. Let's just wait till they get to the introduction process n then I can suss them out

Wander: [meanwhile sees Hater up on stage with Loathe n his eyes sparkle in admiration at how fancy n posh Hater looks in his royal garments]

Hater: (shrugged) I was just thinking of picking the suitors that could possibly be Grimm's type.

Loathe: We'll see. Ooh here comes Dad n Grimmy now

[A hush rolled thru the crowd as Grimm enters the throne room n made his way to the throne, with Fury following behind him]

Grimm: [nodded n smiled quietly at his siblings before sitting dwn on the throne facing the suitors]

Fury: Welcome one n all to my son's suitors' ceremony. As u know, my son is of age n has been in power for a considerable amount of time for him to choose a bride. U will be introduced in groups n my son will pick the best 10 to mingle with for the nxt 3 mths, then u will be whittled dwn until one remains to be his bride. Let the introduction process begin

Hater: (had his fingers crossed behind his back for his brother)

[the introduction process begins, with the ushers helping to arrange the suitors in rows of groups, then each group came forward n the ushers announced their name, title n planet/country of origins]

Loathe: [looked at the first few groups, shaking her head] Uh-uh, too fat... Too uptight... Too old... Too young...

Grimm: (yawn) [was bored out of his mind] (tired)

Hater: (think) Too tall... too short... too happy ^^;;...

Loathe: Ugh, too sad, a suicide waiting to happen... Too pissed off... Geez, none of these seem good enough or close enough to the type I remember Grimm liked

Hater: (think) ... What about that last one? (notices the last suitor cloaked in white, hiding their face)

Loathe: [looked at where he's pointing] Hmmm... I dunno, can't see how they look like under there, might be a bit risky...

Wander: [noticed they all discussing abt the person cloaked in white n tries to crane his neck to see n accidentally leaned too forward] Woah woah woah! :O [fell flat on his face into the middle of the crowd, causing everyone to turn n look at him]

Hater: (also noticed) (facepalm)

Loathe: :O [had an idea n grinned inwardly] (giggle)

Grimm: Huh? [surprised to see that tiny little midget in the midst of the crowd standing out]

Fury: R u alright, sir?

Wander: Uh yeah, I, uh... [before he could explain, an usher picked him up n helped him to join the crowd] Wait, I'm not-- Actually-- I--

Fury: [turned to the crowd, ignoring Wander's protest, thinking he was one of the suitors] Thank u for the introduction. My son will now make the choice for the Top 10

Hater: :O Wait, what??

Sylvia: (looked up) Huh?

Grimm: Ugh, already? [turns to his siblings n whispered] Guys, wat do u think?

Hater: (to Loathe) :| What. Do you think. You're doing??

Loathe: Do wat? [looked at him innocently]

Grimm: [was confused too]

Hater: You just pulled Wander up here. :^)

???: (peeked through their white cloak at Grimm) :$

PM] Iino Kumiko (飯野 久美子): Loathe: I hv no idea wat ur talking abt [got that angel halo look on her head] So hv u shortlisted anyone?

Grimm: I dunno, I... [sees the person in white cloak] Tht one might be interesting, tho I haven't seen their face. Can't even tell if it's a dude or a chick

Fury: [waits patiently as the siblings discussed amongst themselves quietly]

???: (swallowed and removed their hood, revealing a green lizard creature with yellow eyes)

Grimm: [sees him remove his hood n his heart skipped a beat, swallowed as he could feel his cheeks going warm]

Loathe: [sees the person too] Ooh interesting [sees Grimm's face] Aaaaand I think he's picked candidate #1

???: I...Am Terrance, from planet Lizardran...

Loathe: [whispered] Remember, u hv to pick 10, not just pick one. Ooh, n also [whispered into Grimm's ear tht no one else can hear]

Grimm: [listens, then blinked in surprise] Oh, OK... Ah, I see...

Hater: :|

Sylvia: (made her way through the crowd)

Fury: Hv u made ur choice, son?

Grimm: Umm, yeah! Yeah, I hv [made his way to the throne n stood before the crowd] I hv made my decision [randomly picks the first 8] ...and my 9th choice Terrance from Planet Lizardran n finally my 10th choice Wander the Adventurer

[A quiet murmur rang thru the throne room as they heard Grimm's choice]

Sylvia: Wait, wait, hold up there! (has pushed her way through the crowd)

[the murmur was a bit too loud to hear Sylvia's protests]

Fury: Thank u all for coming. The 10 candidates, stay here to join us for dinner at the royal dining hall. The rest, feel free to party n make merry at the festivities

[Everyone bt 10 candidates left the throne room]

Wander: Woah woah woah, wait! There's been a mistake! I'm not a suitor! I-I-I'm just here for the food!

Hater: (isn't sure about this)

Sylvia: (waved to Wander) Buddy! Wander!

[the crowd somehow pushed Sylvia out of the throne room]

Fury: So ur the infamous Wander [exchanged looks with Grimm n Loathe n got the picture, smiling knowingly] Congratulations for being chosen as one of the candidates. Best of luck

Wander: But-- But--

Grimm: I hope we can get along [held out his arm to Terrance] Shall we proceed to the royal dining hall?

Hater: (facepalm) Yeah, let's just do this...
