egypt x india
he's the seeming "tough guy". she's the sweetest creature you'll ever meet. at first, he seems too tough for her, but they get to know each other and end up falling in love. he's super protective of her and wants to make sure she's safe and sound all the time. the two are also best friends with the prince of scotland, who supports them 200%. india always takes care of egypt and makes sure to control his temper flares whenever he has them. egypt takes care of india's anxiety when she gets it, and the two fit together like perfectly arranged puzzle pieces.

russia x france
he's a player who's used to getting whatever he wants, especially when it comes to girls. she's a lady who doesn't bend over backwards for him, and it bothers him. normally he would move on and get over it, but something about her draws him back. he gets the prince of greece to help him get her to fall for him and eventually it works. france has a bit of a passive demeanor and sometimes gets a bit of criticism for others. russia doesn't let it slide. he's protective and will let anyone now that she's his and if they have an issue with her, they have an issue with him. they both come from those stereotypical "rich kid" lifestyles and know what it's like to be in dysfunctional families.

canada x nigeria
she flirts with literally everyone. he's friends with literally everyone. when he starts crushing on her, he realizes he's done for. she would never fall for a guy like him... right? wrong. nigeria has had her eyes on canada since day one but she was too stubborn to admit it. she's afraid to fall in love because she doesn't want to get hurt. he doesn't want to be rejected, so they try to be friends for a while before he admits his feelings and she admits hers. they realize that they are perfect together and get along really well as a couple. they're definitely a power couple.

korea x ireland
they're both pretty quiet. he sees her at the first ball and she catches his eye. the two become friends slowly but surely and eventually they both get to understand each other and see that they like each other despite some of their differences. while ireland is very shy and reserved, korea is quiet, but social. he helps bring her out of her shell and they fall in love during the journey.

italy x spain
these two barely take anything seriously. he's the bad boy, life of the party, and she's super witty and makes everything into a joke. their connection is obvious to literally anyone except the two of them. their eyes light up whenever they see the other come into the room. they gush about the other to the princess of costa rica, who's tired of hearing them talk about each other. eventually, the princess of costa rica makes them kiss and they end up telling each other everything.

mexico x england
she seems super tough and he's a big ol' softie. he keeps her temper down and she inspires him to stand up for himself more often. while the two don't get along at first, something slowly develops between them and they never really confess their attraction, it just happens and flows as they go.

japan x united states
god bless these two. they start off absolutely hating each other. they're complete opposites so it isn't hard to see why. united states is super social, friendly, and kind, while japan is pessimistic and introverted. eventually they get dared to kiss and neither of them want to admit that they have feelings for the other but they have to at one point. they are both very passionate but also argue a lot.

scotland x costa rica
these two are super cute together. he always tries his best to make her smile and sweep her off of her feet, and she enjoys talking to him and having his company. whenever they're together it's so sweet it would give anyone a cavity. they're very affectionate and they only have eyes for each other.

greece x austria
he doesn't want to be there, at all. she's only there because her parents made her do it. the two of them have explosive tempers- good thing they have so much in common. they're both actually quite passionate and during their quest to stay as far from everyone else as possible, they bond and realize that beneath their friendship, they're more than just friends.

➵ the princess of france was incredibly anxious, although she refused to show it. coming to a ball to meet her new husband was... terrifying. what if no one there liked her? god forbid her only option was some impolite, classless lowlife. she had packed her bags and left her home to go to the retreat, located on a lovely island. she wasn't quite sure where exactly it was- no one knew, it was classified information. i mean, having heirs to many countries all in one area could be used to an advantage if someone wanted to hurt them. not even their parents knew their location, only the organizer of the event and the security. and there was a lot of security. she was the first to arrive and was escorted to a large, lavish mansion. since she was the first there, she got to choose her room. she picked a room on the top floor. it was quite spacious and had a large, four poster bed that at least three people could comfortably sleep in. colette's tiny frame would barely take up any space. she was very small, standing at 5'3 and weighing barely 110 pounds. there was a balcony with a breathtaking view of the ocean. it reminded her of her family's beach house in cannes back in france. the waves crashing beneath on the rocks were serene and mesmerizing.

colette snapped out of her trance and unpacked her bags into the large wardrobe that was against one of the walls. she took her toiletries into the bathroom, setting out her toothbrush, toothpaste, hairbrush, etc. she gazed up in the mirror, seeing her tired reflection staring back at her. with a quick sigh, colette knew she should probably take a quick nap, but she didn't know if she should because of the other princes and princesses arriving. she didn't want to miss anything, but she was so anxious. maybe i should just rest for a bit... she thought to herself, slipping out of her [removed]outfit and into a silk nightgown, folding back the fluffy comforter and silk sheets and crawling into the bed. closing her deep blue eyes, she let herself drift into a nice sleep.

➵ juliet was fairly excited to say the least. no, she was definitely excited. energy practically radiated from the princess of spain as she nearly bounced off of the jet and had security escort her across the island to the huge mansion, butlers carrying her bags in. she chose her room, one on the first floor. it was modest compared to the top floor rooms, a queen-sized four-poster bed and a nice bathroom with one large, glass window looking into the island forest. juliet preferred it that way. she didn't like larger rooms, always feeling empty and lonely. having a smaller environment was more comfortable and cozy to her. she unpacked her bags and sat on her bed for a bit, thinking to herself. it was definitely going to be an interesting week. the first weekend was introductory and the rest of the week was basically for fun, figuring out who you wanted to be with and bonding with the other heirs to create lasting alliances. somehow, such a complicated and serious task was made much easier and more fun.

juliet eventually changed out of the elegant outfit she had worn and put on a pair of simple black jean shorts and a cropped, pale pink t-shirt, walking around inside the mansion. there was a ballroom, a dining hall, even a movie theatre/entertainment room. the ballroom was full of workers, maids, and butlers setting up for the first ball, scheduled for that night. since it was somewhat early in the morning, they had plenty of time. juliet didn't know who was there yet, and when she asked she figured out it was just her and the princess of france, who she figured she'd talk to eventually.

the spanish princess walked outside finally, seeing a nice pool and pool house with a lovely deck that had tables, pool chairs, and umbrellas for shade on it. of course, they had a private beach on the other side of the island, but some people preferred the luxury of a pool. juliet didn't mind either of them. in spain, she spent a lot of time at the beach. her skin was tan and she had a dappling of freckles from sun exposure. she sat down on a sofa outside of the pool house, thinking about the ball that night. she had planned out what she was going to wear, a lovely red gown with a pair of nice heels. she knew how she would have her hair and makeup done already and was quite excited. maybe she'd meet a nice boy. juliet hoped she'd make friends, or it would be pretty lonely to spend the rest of the week by herself. with her outgoing nature, it wouldn't be that hard, though.

now the prince wasn't saying he wasn't looking forward to the retreat, just the fact he was leaving so abruptly. and to an unknown place too? his mother nor his father said anything about the retreats' location before he was jetted away, and something about that made it easier to grasp why he was here - alliances and marriage. the thought of marriage didn't scare the young prince, more so the idea of his future fiance meeting his father. now that was scary. what if he brought home a princess who wasn't from a country that had his fathers best interests? he after all was king and could start conflict if he ever so desired to.

the island was spectacular, but minuscule from his jets windows, clean beaches skirted most of the island, high cliffs and rocks flowing into lavish grounds with clean cut grass and a large mansion plopped down neatly. as the plane lowered great, green gardens came into view and the pilot advised abraxas that they would be landing soon, and to sit back in his seat to avoid turbulence.

as soon as the plane had landed security were swarming the place, a large black car had rolled onto the runway with the boot open. his luggage was already being whisked off into that same car. as abraxas felt the sweet sunshine hit his face as he exited the jet, he soon came to realize the beauty of this unnamed island, something he didn't have a chance to see back home in cairo.

the lavish mansion sat on a small hill, and looked to house a thousand people if it tried. the young prince had the car door opened for him and he slipped inside. the tinted windows were much too boring for the heir of egypt, casting dark shadows as the under went under large trees with thick branches.

when the car stopped he again was met with beauty, this time up close. abraxas could recognize that this mansion looked of french descent, a chateau that came directly from the countryside. butlers worked silently to bring his luggage up to the front of the mansion. he was daintily told that he'd have the choosing of any bedroom he liked and when the ball was supposed to begin.

crap! the ball! abraxas had forgotten all about in the wake of being surrounded by lush greenery. fixing his dress shirt and walking off in search of a room to take, abraxas let his mind wander to what he was to wear. brax had been given multiple of the same black suits, one dark blue one and too many ties to count, most embellished something about egypt. abraxas claimed it was to make sure he was known to all who he met on this retreat that he was here for business and business only. brax found a room located on the third story, the views magnificent. he proffered to be above all he could be, finding it more helpful when planning.

in the bathroom, which abraxas had found himself in, he looked too sweaty for his liking. stripping off of his dark slacks, abraxas replaced them with equally dark shorts, and also replaced his dress shoes with muted pink loafers and plucked a pair of sunglasses out of one of the smaller bags he had brought along. as the crown prince left his room, he felt a feeling of excitement wash over him, in the confines of this hallway he finally let himself be excited about the prospects of the weekend.

as his feet touched the grass however, he needed to play tough, so he could get what was best for his future. amari skirted around the property, finding extravagant tile under his loafers soon enough. the pool area was beautiful, and as he sat down to take in his surroundings, his mind began to wander about who he would meet on this retreat and the people he would reunite with.

Gently resting her head against the plane window, Maalai closed her deep brown eyes. She had been out of the country multiple times, but always with someone in her family- and she wasn't for sure what she thought of this. Her fingers played with the lacing on her peacock colored sari. Her mother had insisted that each of her wardrobe pieces matched India's national symbols. Today for arrival- the peacock. She thought about how her mother was going to make her wear mango earrings, a shiver ran through her body in disgust at the thought of mangos on her ears. Maalai laughed a bit to herself, opening her eyes and looking down below at the terrain, seeing a small island come into view. She was looking forward to this, that may seem odd to some- but all of her older siblings were already married- either to very wealthy families of India or businessmen of the Indian government. The girl sat back in her seat as they descended onto the island.

Maalai stepped off the plane and looked around curiously, it was beautiful here, and the mansion that stood before her was extravagant. The servants took her bags up to the house, the one explaining to her about the time of the ball and that she could choose any room that she would like- each floor was a different theme. She just knew she would have to see what the top floor looked life. As she walked into the house, she was a bit nervous, trying to not show it. Her anxiety rising as she didn't know where to go, who was all here, and even if anyone would life her- she would disappoint her family if she didn't bring anyone home. Maalai tried to get her anxiety to brush itself away, and it did a little bit as she asked a servant to lead her to where she could find the way to the third floor. She took a deep breath, and headed up the three flights. Glancing in a room, seeing it already had some luggage in it, she bit her lip and headed down the hall a bit more, choosing a room with some amazing views. Thanking the staff, who set her things down and left, Maalai leaned against the window- looking out it with a soft smile. Heading towards the door to her room, she slipped off her sandals, just needing the feeling of her bare feet hitting the ground. Maalai then headed out of her room, and down to the lower level again, and heading outside towards the pool area to see what this huge place had to offer.

the pool water rippled as a leaf fell into the deeper end of the pool. the sun bore down on abraxas as he got up onto his feet again, brushing his lower half off. his sunglasses sat loosely on the bridge of his nose and his hair sat without any complaints. all was well and calm. he was currently facing the deep end of the pool, looking out over it as it became shallower. brax was taking in the little details of his surroundings. he'd either cherish them with his future wife or regret the weekend entirely and come to hate the intricate designs in everything about the mansion.

he was sure that these feelings were mutual among those who were to arrive soon. the egyptian prince let his mind wander to what his father expected of him - make alliances where he see's fit, he just hoped his stubbornness wouldn't get in the way of such dealings. when the prince heard a door shut softly behind him he turned, expecting to see a staff member, he was instead seeing a young indian woman, her sari dancing in the sunlight.

slightly taken aback at seeing his first royal on the retreat (and first very pretty young woman) abraxas was a little bit short for words. she looked absolutely regal. "uh, uhm." he stammered for words. the ideas his father brought upon him came to him in these times, coming truly in handy for when he was in strife with politics at home - act like a gentleman. "good morning, forgive me, for i do not know your name, but i am prince abraxas of egypt. delighted to make your acquaintance." abraxas took off his sunglasses and slipped them onto his dress shirt, so they hung right on top of his chest, he did this before he bowed slightly.
