THE CHOOSEN ONE
King Jonah
Prince Logan is very decisive and knows what he wants. That's a good thing for sure. Thats the qualities of how a prince should be but am not ready for him to destroy my Kingdom. Kingdom Bodiam was inherited to my grandfather from my great grandfather.
My grandfather passed it on to my dad and to me now.
They worked so hard. Especially my great grandfather.
He was able to rule and build up this kingdom during 1910.
The lands were empty and full of bushes back then.
This is more than 100 years ago.
Looking at my son talk to me this way is a burden to my Kingdom.
"You need to find a woman to marry".
"I need my grandson!!". I said firmly and loud.
"This is my life and you cant force me". Prince Logan fired back
"But do you know you are a prince? You are the next king after me".
"That doesnt mean I should be forced Prince Logan said defendingly
Dont you consider my feelings
My wife just died 3 months ago and you expect me to find a woman?
"She is gone and that's what you need to understand ".
"This is my decision dad and not yours"
"I dont care,you are going to get married".
I KING JONAH will find you a woman and you dont have a choice.
Says you King Jonah, Prince logan fired back
Remember this is about PRINCE LOGAN
Hahahaahahaha! your just a baby in my eyes. I laughed carelessly.
How can you be so careless and heartless. you dont even care about my late wife.
"Your wife wasnt even made for royal".
She couldn't even have a miscarriage than to talk about giving birth after 3 good years of marriage." I said cruely.
Prince Logan angrily stormed off.
How dare he walk out on me like that
He is playing with fire.
I killed his wife. It is just a disgrace to my kingdom and its a forbidden to have a second wife and that was just the only way he can find another woman.
She couldn't have a baby and I had to get rid of her.
Nobody knows this. Not even my wife.
I want my kingdom and generation to grow and considering that Logan is my only son. I need a grandson. Not a granddaughter now. A man is powerful. A man is the breadwinner. A man can rule the kingdom in the future.

Prince Logan
My wife's death was a sudden death. She wasnt sick or complained about sickness. She just died out of the blue.
She went out with some of our maidens and all of them never returned.
Meaning they are all dead.
I don't ever think I will get married
maybe in the future butbut certainly not now.
So have your dad spoke to you today? Queen Dorcas asked sitting next to me
"Yes and I dont want to talk about it". I said in a calmer tone of voice.
"I dont Know what he told you but he told me last night he is planning to bring in two ladies for you to pick. Queen Dorcas said straight forward ".
So the fact that my dad said she will find me a woman is lame? I thought to myself
"so is this the plan?" I said looking at Queen Dorcas.
That's the plan
How can I pick a stranger a wife?
"Dont tell your dad if he hasn't told you.
He said he will speak to you in his own time." She said
So what do you think this idea? I asked trying to know her mind
I dont suggest it now especially while your still grieving about your late wife
But it sounds like your dad puts his kingdom first.
He did tell me about finding me a woman but it was more in an argument way.
Dont worry too much about your wife
My mum gave me a hug.


Isabella
I am Isabella. I am blonde with Blue eyes. I am 5.6 feet tall. I have a slim physic. My mission is to always win win.
The prince is mine and no one elses.
King Jonah is a mutual friend of my dad.
I was shocked when he said I qualify as a royal lady.
He told me about his Son Prince Logan.
I have seen prince Logan over the media and in papers but I have never seen him in person.
This was a competition and I love competitions.
I will make sure the other girl I will be competing with the king vanish.
She isnt even on my level.
Whoever she is
I am ready to go live in the palace and win my place.

Quenisha
I am Quenisha. Yeah that's my name .
The prounciation of my name sounds like a Queen so I am a Queen. I imagine being called Queen Quenisha. My name is powerful and that should put my competitor down when she hears it but when she sees me physically at the palace, She will bow down to me.
I am Brunette with brown hazel eyes. I am 5.9 with slim features.
King Jonah was a friend of my cousin from way back before he was even a king. He told me I will be competing with another girl to win the prince.
Whoever the prince choose will be the princess of Bodiam Kingdom.
We will be living in the palace for 6 months to get to know the prince.
I dont rush and talk too much.
Action is my passion

Queen Dorcas
So are you trying to tell me they are going to be living in this palace? I asked
"You heard me right when I told you".
King Jonah snapped back at me
This is abomination. How can they live here?
This is a palace designated for you and I and our family. They are not a royal yet. I Said raising my voice.
My husband has turned into a monster.
This isnt the Jonah I know. Isit because he became a king so he feels so big.
This is for our best interest. More importantly they are coming this weekend.
My Securities will go pick them up.
Do you think what you are doing will help? I asked
Why do you make it sound like am crazy and dont know what am doing? King Jonah replied my question with a question.
Just look at your son
"He looks miserable and you are here thinking bringing in two girls to compete is going to make him happy". I said in a worried voice
Dorcas, I am the king and I know what will work best for my kingdom.
My words are FINAL

King Jonah
Welcome my daughters.
Isabella and Queinsha
Thank you your majesty, Quenisha bowed
At your service your highness,Isabella responded
Queen Dorcas and Prince Logan came downstairs
As they were walking,
I couldnt wait for my son to see them two.
They were so beautiful. Just perfect for him. Isabella was the type he had normally go for since his late wife was blonde.
Quenisha wasnt his type but I internatonally made that option just incase he picked her so he forget about her late blonde.
This selection was on point .
As they sat down, Queen Dorcas started screening them at the corner of my eyes.
Isabella and Quenisha walked up to them to bow down

Queen Dorcas
As me and Prince Logan Sat, I took a glance at the two new girls.
They were dressed well and looked good.
I need to ask them tricky questions just to know what sort of people they are.
I need a good woman for my son.
I also needed to set rules in this house
"So do you know the reason why you two are here?
Yes! your highness. They both said together
"Good. "Why are you here today?"
"I am here to get to know the prince and see where it will take us. Isabella answered.
Not to cut you off Quenisha but I want to ask Isabella one more question before you can answer.
At your will, your majesty. Quenisha answed.
"So Isabella you said you are here to see where it will take you and the prince so what does it take for you to get along well with the prince?
Your majesty, I am open and willing to share my interest just as much as my prince should.
Isabella's answers wasnt that bad but I wonder what she is about.
I hope she wasnt trying to sugar coat her character.
Ok So Quenisha, Can you answer those two questions I just asked Isabella?
Quenisha responded" I am here to get to know everyone here and to build up healthy relationships.
I was wowed by Quenisha's answer.
The fact that she isnt only here for the prince shows that she do not only want to be part of the prince but us also.
Its a sign of respect.
I thought to myself.
Quenisha Continued "What it will take for us to get along will take communicating,understanding and supporting effectively with one another".
"All your answers will be assessed and based in this Palace".
"There are rules in places here". I started telling them the rules.
First thing is first,
Respect one another.
I mean everyone in this palace including you two.
I know you are here for my son
I dont want to hear or see any signs of disrespecting from each other .
Also we sleep at 21:30pm and wake up at 7:00am
Thats part of the policy
I dont want to see you two breaching the rules.
Last thing I have to say is that I know you came here for my son but I dont want to hear or godforbid I see you two having affair with him.
I know you all know what I mean when I say affair.
We are all adults and should apply to the rules.
Thats a big deal to our kingdom.
We get married first before that.
Does that make sense?
Yes your majesty. They both replied

Prince Logan
I just realised how crazy my family is
I mean what the hell is wrong with them? I thought as I sat down listening to my mum speaking to the girls.
My mum never supported my dads idea but she was moving mental.
I do have a sick family.
When I heard my mum asking the girls "What does it take for you to get along with the prince was just too far.
Asking strangers those questions was just like forcing words from their mouth.
I mean action speaks louder than words
I wonder what those pretty faces were behind those words they said.
I just sat there quietly and never uttered a word.
I was certainly not bothered about this.
I didnt even find them attractive or endearing.
Although they look good.
So Lagon,any questions to ask the girls? Queen Dorcas asked looking at me
Why would I ask them a question? I thought to myself
My mums brains needed to be checked at a mental hospital. I thought for a second.
Not really I said with confident.
Are you sure? Queen Dorcas asked
Yes, my Queen,I replied respectfully.
I need to show my mum respect to these two.
Thats what they needed otherwise they wouldn't stoop so low just to be with me.
Why come to find love when you barely know the person?
They just lost self respect
I was very quiet in my seat and was thinking in my head.

Quenisha
Damn
I didn't even know i was going to be interviewed
I would have been prepared but my answers surely wasnt bad i think
With all this rules, i hope i can survive living here
Waking up 7:00 and going to bed at 21:30 was a disaster.
I like staying up at least 22:30 and that is a problem and not being able to even have an affair is crazy for the queen to say that I thought in my head in my room.
His husband is cool. He is easy going but Queen Dorcas made it so hard for us.
The fact that the Queen said our answers will be assessed doesnt even make me wanna go into details with what i think of isabella because I am desperate to be chosen. I need to win. I mean Isabella is good looking. I am taller than her. Cant lie but no way I am going to let this go.

Isabella
It was already getting to 9:00 and we were told to go to our room a bit early since we were new.
This room hasn't even got tv I can sneak up and watch.
Ridiculous I thought while looking around the room.
It's a plain room with a woodrabe and a king size bed
The wall looked good and that was just about it.
Everything just looks plain
Speaking to the Queen, I realised I had to work harder.
I am the choosen princess without a doubt.
The only problem is the Prince is hard to read. He was very quiet and didnt say a thing. I need to spend more time with just him and I.
I wanna get to know him but on the other note its going to be a challenge.
Quiensha was pretty and tall dark haired girl.
Her name was nice tho but Isabella is on her way.


PART 2 IS ON ITS WAY.
