This is where the royalty and the selected girls eat their meals. It is a large, grand hall, with large tables and thrones as chairs. Delicious food is served here for every meal, you won't ever be disappointed.

Azure walked in looking around just wandering through the castle not a care in the world.
Collette walked into the Great hall, not really looking to eat but to maybe get a glimpse of what early mornings, afternoons and nights would be like in here.((this is what shes wearing))
Liam was sitting on the window ledge on the back wall, his feet up in front of him with his arms crossed over them. This was his favorite place to think when it was empty, other than that, even with just one person, it was chaotic in his mind. He watched the gardens outside the window serenely, not noticing that someone had walked in.
Collette saw the prince sitting near a window. She decided not to bother him since he seemed lost in his thoughts. Collette examined the large dining table and its expensive and comfy looking chairs that were more like small thrones.
Liam sighed. "Why does my life have to be so complicated." His comment echoed through the room, and he decided he had wasted enough time here. Liam turned and was about to stand up when he noticed one of the selected he had met with earlier. For a split second, there was real emotion across his face. He had let his guard down, and now she saw. Almost as immediately, his face went back to it's normal grin and he stood up, walking over to…Colette?
Collette heard the ring through the hall. She turned to the prince who was now approaching her. Collette picked up her posture and said "Hello" After noting that his grin was only for shpw she said "You can relax you know, no need to act oh so happy about this whole selection fiasco"
((XD That's okay))Liam nodded, acknowledging her. He ignored the part about relaxing. Liam, the crown prince of Illéa, relaxing? Ha! As if he had any time for that, though he wish he did. "It's Colette, if I remember correctly?"
"Yes, it is. Sorting through your thoughts i suppose?" Collette asked her head tilted only the slightest bit. Her chocolate brown eyes were calm yet had an intelligent gleam.
Liam nodded and walked over to a set of chairs. He gestured to the chair he was sitting next to. "Wish to sit? And yes, I am. Too many up here." He tapped his head and laughed a bit, though it wasn't funny at all.
"Thank you" Collette said as she sat in the chair. She barely acknowledged his joke not seeing how that could be funny. The process of understanding feelings and thoughts was very taxing for her.
"Its beautiful, much like i imagined it would be. Though i hadn't expected the different types of room styles. I think its quite impressive actually how they have 35 different room styles for the selected girls. Oh and the service here is wonderful" Collette said stating what she liked about the palace. She left out what she didn't like.
"Well, the emptiness. I don't know, it just feels empty like something is missing. And maybe if there were more things to do, more places to go..." Collette admitted, trying to be polite and not be too rude about it. She still stated her mind though. Her words were flowy and well put.
Liam nodded again. "I know what you mean. About the emptiness, that is. I've lived here nineteen years and it hasn't gotten any better." Slowly, as he talked, Liam's guard lowered more and more. At the moment, you could see emotion on his face. Not that they made sense, nothing about him ever makes sense. Just the fact that they were…there, though.
Collette nodded understanding. She looked around thr room slowly. Even in the midst of a hundred people Collette could imagine being able to feel a gap or an open void in this palace.
Liam sighed again. "So, I suppose I should get to know you. One of you will become my wife, so I suppose I shall start. What's your…favorite color?"
"Oh. That's a good question. How did you do that? Anyway, um, to find real true love and become a better king than my father."
She nodded in respect toward his priorities. "Mine are to work in a feild that i enjoy and be successful in that feild. I also hope to hold meetings about important issues that are going on that never get acknowledged." Collette said."And about how i came up with the question, I just think that its important to know what another person aims for. When you know, you can help." Collette added, not sure if her explanation made much sense.
Liam nodded. "That makes sense…sort of. And what do you mean, that are never acknowledged? What kind of things? That is a perk of me being the next king, I can address issues such as those."
"Well, issues that people don't see as a problem... ones that are right in front of our faces but aren't viewed as evem being a bit off" Collette said hesitantly. She wasn't sure he would agree with her ideas.
"Colette, if they're that important, I need to know about them. And it is your duty to tell me," he said seriously.
((Haha, that's okay. She can just tell him about the lower castes' treatment (they are the poor people, never have much food, are servants or outside workers)))
((Alright))"Well, see the its the lower castes. They're treated like animals and they never get enough food. They're starving, and dieing. I know that this usually wouldn't seem much of a big deal, but i think it is. I can't stand to see them in so much pain..." Collette trailed off a bit at the end as if she had just admitted to something she shouldn't have.
Liam watched her carefully, his eyebrows slowly moving together as he thought. "That's…that is very important information. Thank you, Colette."
"Well, I shall get to that right away. I don't have much of anything else planned, so I might as well start this. Thank you, again. Goodbye, Colette. I shall see you at dinner." With that, Liam stood up and left the room.
Collette sat back in her chair with a sigh once Liam left. She hoped that went well since it seemed to. Plus the lower caste was going to be confronted.
