Zac annoys the bandits so much that everyone's let go and we have no plot XD
Yeah I'm thinking I'm leaning more towards Amelia because Alexander seems more like the rescue party type than her XD

That's what I'm thinking. XD "Look, look, look... If you wanted an autograph, you should've just asked!" Plus, I want Zac as a rescuer because he's going to make some comments about "rescuing the damsels in distress" and basically being a "knight in shining armor." ;-; I'm putting too much thought into these characters, but oh well.
Gang name, yes! And what would their reason be for kidnapping some of the heirs?

So, when are we going to do this kidnapping thing?

the ballroom
Nikolai turned at a tap to his shoulder. Behind him stood a girl with shining golden hair. With his shimmering blue eyes, he quickly scanned her up and down. Based on her colors and the obscene amount of jewelry she was wearing, he would have to guess she was Princess Eunice of Addewid. Glancing to the stairs to where she had indicated, he saw a young woman in green. Squinting, the crown prince tried to narrow in on her face, but nothing about her seemed familiar. "I'm afraid that I don't have a clue who she is." He turned to her as she held out her hand.
Does she want me to shake it? He was half tempted to grasp her hand and firmly shake it, but she dropped down into the proper curtsy before he got the chance. So I was right, he thought. It really is the Derrisun girl. With a small grin, Nikolai bowed politely at the waist. "Nikolai Blacktyde, crown prince of Luria." As he stood, he added, "And yes, I did know who you were."
He had to admit, she was.....charming. There was something about her that seemed appealing. "So tell me, Eunice, just how excited are you to have your entire life planned out tonight?" The question might have been a bit cynical, but that was his way. And besides, Nikolai had a feeling that she could take it.
A person at the top of the stairs caught his attention. "The Bindings," announced the man. Nikolai felt his stomach do somersaults. That had been quick. He had expected maybe to last until the end of the evening, but here he was, moments away from knowing the person he was going to spend the rest of his life with.
Yvonne was first, and she was going to be Queen. Good, he thought. She'll be good. A few other names came, but soon he was announced. "Nikolai Blacktyde is Bound to Eunice Derrisun." He glanced to her in surprise, but only for a brief moment. Within seconds, the perfect heir had returned, stoic and serious as ever. "So, I suppose we're going to be stuck together for a while now, eh?" His midnight colored hair was slicked back, perfect as could be. But there was no perfect impartialness to his eyes as they twinkled ever so slightly. With what? Not sure. I'm not even sure he knew.

the ballroom
Luckily for Lavinia, there were a couple corners for her to hide in. She stood in the shadows, watching the rest of the party going on around her. Across the room, her older sister Amelia looked stunning as always. And though Sidero was receiving many scornful stares, there were many the couldn't help but admire her beauty. A sigh escaped her lips and she turned to stare out the window.
The gardens looked lovely and inviting. Various arrays of roses and lilacs covered the grounds, and dozens of fountains shimmered in the pale moonlight. Dialla was known for the gardens and flowers they grew there, and the family crest itself was arose. Yet the brunette princess had never seen a garden that looked more beautiful. Let's go outside, she decided, turning to make her way to the great outdoors.
As she turned, the entire ballroom dropped to pure silence. Lavinia squinted, looking around for the source of the crowd's sudden lack of talking. She took another step forward, still planning on going outside until she saw him. "The Bindings."
Two words. That's all it took to stop her dead in her tracks. Her heart was pounding, rattling her rib cage with every beat. She was certain that someone else would hear her heart racing, but everyone was too focused on the man at the top of the stairs. Twiddling her thumbs, she tried to remember how breathing worked while the Bindings were announced. First came a few unfamiliar names, and then came Amelia.
Jericho Woodgard? Everyone knew he was not even of royal blood, that he was some peasant boy that Tyrios had picked up on the streets. And now he will rule Dialla. The thought made her scowl, a thunderstorm gathering in her pale green eyes. But nothing was as surprising as Sidero being Bound to the crown prince of Addewid. Lavinia glanced to her father, noticing the dark expression that came across his face whenever somebody brought up his youngest daughter. She couldn't help but smirk; finally, her little sister had beat him. And there was nothing he could do about it.
While thinking on the small victory Ro had achieved, she heard it. "Lavinia Rosenrow is Bound to Alexander Blacktyde." She blanked immediately. There was nothing that she could remember about Alexander, and she couldn't even think of a single thing she might know of him. Middle child, right? she thought, trying to keep the panic from showing. Right.
The panic was even harder to hide when he showed up next to her a minute or so later. Lavinia straightened her back as she scanned him quickly. He was not bad to look at, she could not deny that. She held his gaze for a few moments, looking for any kind of emotion. She found none.
Dropping into a curtsy she said, "Lavinia Rosenrow. It's a pleasure to meet you." Standing back up, she clasped her hands tightly in front of her. She held the flat expression on her face, praying that he would not be able to see the sea of emotions flooding her eyes.

( dangit, i keep coming in when the conversation is already over. x"D also. eunice is so immature lmaoooo. she thinks queenhood will be easy ;w; )
Eunice looked curiously up at Nikolai Blacktyde as his gaze flickered toward the girl in question and waited patiently for him to answer, taking the opportunity to look him over more closely. Hmm…he really was the picture perfect image of prince-hood, wasn’t he? It was that famous trope called…ah! Tall, dark, and handsome, right? Despite herself, Eunice couldn’t help comparing him to her brother Zacchaeus, whose features were just as light and golden as her own. Nikolai would look like a shadow next to her brother’s sun. And of course, while Zac was charming in his own right…it was more like the familiar, comfortable charm that came with knowing and looking up to someone for so long. Nikolai was probably charming too – he had to be, being the perfect prince and all, but it would be in a different way. Perhaps? What did people say about the Blacktyde family again..? She couldn’t really remember.
Her musing was over just as quickly as it had started; Nikolai turned back to her. However, it didn’t look like he knew who the girl in green was either. Boo. She was so curious, to the point it had overcome her worry for her, but there was little sense in approaching the girl now that she was fit to be locked in conversation with Nikolai. Hopefully the green girl’s illness would pass…whether that was actual sickness or just nerves. Neither would surely last forever.
Unperturbed by her faux pas, Eunice only smiled as the man dipped into a bow and properly introduced himself. Oh, good, he recognized her! She wasn’t vain or anything (though she knew her family could easily be perceived that way with their love of jewelry and beauty) but it was nice to know she wasn’t just a plain face in the crowd. As he continued to speak, she grew eager to answer, chatterbox that she was. She failed to note any cynicism in his tone as she cheerfully replied.
“Oh, very much excited!” She began, giggling a bit and taking on a dreamy-like expression. “I’ve wanted to be wed for so long… It just sounds so…comfy to me, I suppose? Mama and Papa-“ Oops, there she went blundering again. She corrected herself without hesitation. One could even wonder whether she’d noticed it at all this time. “That is, the King and Queen of Addewid have always seemed so happy and in love. And they run our kingdom so well. I’d like a life like that. Taking care of the people with someone who loves me by my side, watching our children grow…it sounds so romantic, doesn’t it?”
Maybe not to him. The excitement in the room seemed to be subpar in Levios Palace at the moment, and she had no idea how he was feeling about everything. Just before she could stop talking about herself and ask, a man appeared to announce the Bindings. Ah, the moment of truth! She looked eagerly forward, fingers playing anxiously (in the good way!) with the fabric of her dress.
Eunice Derrisun is Bound to Nikolai Blacktyde.
“Oh!” Her eyes caught Nikolai’s and reflected the surprise she found there. When the announcement came to an end and the rest of the bindings were decided, Nikolai asked her a question and Eunice wasn’t able to hold back laughter.
“S-sorry, sorry! I’m not, pfft, laughing at you, I swear! I just,” she caught herself with an exhale, reigning her amusement in. Or trying to anyway. Her smile didn’t hide her true feelings though. “What are the odds? You were the first person I approached tonight and now we’re Bound! Isn’t that crazy? Fate has a funny way of showing itself.” He looked just as serious as he had before though.
“I hope I didn’t embarrass you with anything I said before! It must look awfully ridiculous to you now, since you’ll be my husband and all...” Eunice couldn’t get herself to feel embarrassed about it herself though. She’d meant what she’d said. And if Nikolai was to be her husband then so be it. It didn’t seem like a bad choice to her at all.
As she looked into his eyes, it occurred to Eunice that she couldn’t easily read Nikolai Blacktyde.

( i know i'm a little late but ghost, i'm so sorry to hear that that's really really heartbreaking. don't worry about getting a reply up; you come first above everything else. please take all the time you need </3 eunice no
i love her who's getting kidnapped, by the way?? if we don't have enough chars who are being kidnapped i'd be open to the idea of yvonne getting involved. i really don't mind whichever group she's placed in c: )
Yvonne Blacktyde Even now, it seemed that the announcer was still speaking, declaring their entire future in a few, swift words. His impassive voice lingered in her mind, echoing, resonating, and soon she felt as if something had suffocatingly enveloped around her. Was it only her troubling imagination that made the entire world seem as if it’d become static?
A life dedicated to preserving harmony was always what she had desired, and as a result, she’d always been prepared to heft the responsibilities that came along with her idealistic views. Even so, now, in the moment of everything, the youngest Blacktyde could not help but feel a nervous fizz gyrate within her stomach that was calmly veiled behind a collected expression. There was no displeasure that coursed through her; just the feeling of being overwhelmed by the sudden, cold wash of what was happening.
“Looks like we’re going to be sister-in-laws.” Ana’s voice woke her, bringing her back to reality. She blinked, allowing her orbs to rest on those of Ana’s. With the immediate circumstance they were participating in, there was something seraphic about the kind, blonde’s smile, and in return, Yvonne relaxed her shoulders. Aubriana already felt like family, even with their brief encounter. In a way, she realized that there was a small part of her that had been relying on her warm company. Through the Binding, it seemed that fate truly wanted them to have their connecting ties, and it was one that she was glad to have.“Shall we go introduce ourselves to our new finances?”
“Yes, I suppose we should. That would be the best,” she answered the blonde’s inquiry with the smallest hint of a smile as Falke Montridge came in close proximity. The atmosphere that surrounded him along with his presence did not surprise her; he was a brilliant warrior, and she had heard of his unrivaled strength a myriad of times. Giving one last supportive squeeze to her hand, Yvonne watched as the representative of Amalthea left to greet the young man. She wished the pair nothing but good fortune and prosperity. Hopefully, given the privilege and chance, she would see Aubriana very soon.
As for herself, she was to find none other than Thaleus Montridge. He was a man, she understood, who possessed impeccable intelligence. She'd been informed a long time ago that he was a frequent visitor of libraries (that alone had made her want to meet him before, far earlier on before the Bindings had begun) and stood as an incomparably brilliant figure within Ithos. Though, through the eyes of Yvonne Blacktyde, every royal child gathered here at this very moment remained matchless. Her two brothers, Zacchaeus Derrisun and his younger sister, Eunice Derrisun, the beautiful Rosenrow sisters, Jericho Woodgard.... everyone.
What if I'm not good enough for him? Already, she could feel the previous lump in her throat slowly return. There was no one to protect; no one to stay strong for; no playful brother she was affectionately keeping in check. She was alone with the knowledge of her own flaws, a talented future husband, and the weight of her own ideals pressing down on her narrow shoulders.
Stop being selfish, she chastised herself with a small intake of breath. Own up to your own responsibilities. It was something she could imagine Alexander saying, and the thought of his lustrous eyes and adventurous smile enabled her to stand a little taller and raise her chin just a little higher. Yes, of course - there was no time to give a moment's notice to any silent complaints her mind managed to discreetly conjure. It wouldn't be too far to say that there were thousands of lives on the line, after all, that depended on their strong connection.
She was to be a Queen, and the Queen in her mind did not gripe.
Gingerly maneuvering her way through the crowd, Yvonne surveyed the vast area in hopes of catching sight of the scholarly young man she'd been arranged to. Upon spotting a lanky individual she realized in a moment's notice, she approached him (it took her a moment to realize that she hadn't been breathing).
When she finally managed to reach his side, she allowed her gentle blue orbs to meet those of his for the briefest moment before they trailed down to the polished floor from her following gesture. "Lord Montridge," she spoke as she swept into a refined bow. "It is an honor to meet you."
