The main ballroom of the Royal Palace. The design of this very vast room is very intricate and elaborate. There is a large flight of stairs at the front of the room, for a dramatic entrance. A large, beautiful chandelier hangs from the curved ceiling, with detailed paintings filling it. There are wall long windows on two of the longer wall, with sparkling clean glass cleaned by the maids and custodians. A midsize platform or stage is set to the side of the room, where an orchestra plays during the balls.

When there's a ball, tables are usually set up in one part of the room for tired guests, the chandelier is lit and such..but otherwise, the ballroom is usually just a humongous, empty, echo-ing room.

Ethan strode into the ballroom and looked around. It was his turn to guard near the door, but who ever said he couldn't explore a little at the same time?

Ethan heard his name and looked around, only seeing two selected girls, who obviously couldn't know his name. "Who said that?"

Ethan slowly walked up to the girl, and just barely noticed her under the makeup and fancy hair. "You! But…how...what?" He was incredibly confused, for a reason even he didn't know entirely.

Ethan stared at her, then finally caught on and nodded slightly. "Excuse me, miss. What is your name?"

Ethan smirked a a little. "Pleased to meet you, Lady Laurel. I'm Ethan Marriott." He nodded slightly.

Ethan started laughing a bit, but then regained himself so no one else would think he was acting foolish. "So, do you enjoy the castle so far?" He enjoyed this game they were playing. It was really actually funny, though, because she was, after all a former servant herself.

"Incredibly." Ethan was still grinning, the smile on his face growing bigger at her glare.

Ethan noticed the room was now empty besides the two of them, and he dropped the act. "So, what's it like being in the castle now? But as a Selected, all these dresses and makeup?" He was holding his gun, because he was supposed to be guarding, but he didn't really mind. He was close to the door, and if anything happened, he only needed to protect Laurel at the moment.

Ethan burst into laughter. "Yeah, right! I'm actually starting to like my guard outfit." He turned around once. "Ta da!"

"What's so bad about the prince?" He asked, seeing her wince.

((gtg, bye!))

"Positive." Ethan laughed. "Alright, well I should be getting back to my post. I'll see you around, Laurel." He joked as he left the room.
