Prince Damien waited by the pool.

Tamryn went to the pool, grinning. “hello?” she called out, her heels sunk into the dirt and she scowled.

“Hey there,” the prince said, offering a hand to Tamryn.

tamryn took his hand gratefully, “you surprised me for a moment there,” tamryn said laughing lightly. “how are you doing?”

“Fine I guess,” he shrugged, “I’ve been better, but excited about the selection,” he said

Tamryn grinned, “Do they still do.. caning?” she asked, raising her eyebrows, “I know some girls who might venture far past you into other people and it would hurt deeplY if they were caned. Do they still do it?”

“I’m not sure...the last few selections haven’t had any scandals. Most likely though...” Prince Damien trailed off, “Who?” he proceeded to ask

“I’m sorry, I just not say whom.” Taryn said, “They might pursue them or might not, I’m not sure yet. Consider me your intel in the selection,” Taryn said, figuring her way into staying in the competition

Prince Damien nodded. Great. He didn’t need to deal with this too
