The Selection -- Literate Roleplay discussion

Rule One: The contestant cannot leave the palace on her own accord. She can only be dismissed by the prince himself.

Rule Two: There is no timeline for the Selection — it can last from days to years.

Rule Three: The contestant cannot arrange her times with the prince. If in a large social setting, this rule does not apply.

Rule Four: The contestant cannot fight or sabotage other participants. If the contestant is found laying her hands on another contestant, causing her stress, stealing from her, or doing anything that might diminish her personal relationship with the prince, the prince will decide whether to dismiss her or not.

Rule Five: The contestant can only have a romantic relationship with the prince. If the contestant is caught in a relationship with someone else, it is considered treason and punishable by death.

Rule Six: If the contestant is found breaking any of Illéa's written laws, her punishment will be tied to that offense.

Rule Seven: The contestant cannot eat food or wear any clothes not provided to her by the palace.

Rule Eight: The contestant must be courteous to photographers, and allow them to see her lifestyle with the prince.

Rule Nine: For each week the contestant stays at the palace, her family will be compensated.

Rule Ten: If the contestant is no longer in the Selection, she will have an aide to help her adjust to her new life after the Selection. Her aide will help the contestant find new housing and employment.

Rule Eleven: If the contestant makes it to the top ten, she is considered an Elite, and will be required to learn about particular inner workings of the life and obligations she would have as a princess. Until then, the contestant is not permitted to seek out such information.

Rule Twelve: The contestant's caste number is automatically raised to a Three, unless she was already a Three prior to being Selected. Her family's caste remains the same. If the contestant was already a Two prior to the Selection, her and her family's status will remain the same.

Rule Thirteen: If the contestant wins the Selection, she and her family will become Ones and members of the royal family. The contestant will also marry the prince and become the crowned princess of Illéa, taking on all the rights and responsibilities of the title.

Rule Fourteen: The contestant must be a virgin.

Rule Fifteen: If the prince invites the contestant to do something with him, it is advised she does not refuse—regardless if it's dinner, outings, kissing, or even more than kissing.
