~*~Background Story~*~
Now for a bit of background... Nicholas lead a rather sheltered existence in the suburbs unaware of his true destiny after his mother sought refuge from the life and pressure of being royal after the sudden and unexpected death of her Husband Christian Collazo. You can read about his younger years and catch up on the life of the royals prior to the Selection ChallengeHERE.
For now I am very excited to share this challenge with you! It will come in drips and draps over the next few months - I just had a baby (he made an early appearance - so it'll be extra slow as he catches up on his growth and I adjust to our new family dynamic - but I can't wait to get this underway
So, without further ado here are the five years leading up to the Selection.
~*~The Prequel Part One~*~
The Before Years
I decided to do something a little bit different and introduce one of the mediums my updates for the challenge are going to come in. Plus...everyone has a history and I figured it was time for you to see what happened a few years before the Selection Challenge

"Hi I'm Maria Pancakes and I am coming to you with an insider scoop on a big announcement. I'm here in Brindleton Bay for what many suspect to be the announcement King Julius retirement from the throne. Many have speculated that King Julius will be passing the Throne on to his eldest surviving son Prince Henry, but only time will tell. The Royal Family have been rather silent on their plans..."

"And here they come now with Prince Henry in the lead..."

"Hello my fellow Sims," King Julius started, "For along time now you have questioned me on the line of succession to the throne and for along time we have remained silent.

"I can happily say that now," The King continued "ahead of my 70th Birthday in a few short days... that I will be retiring from the throne."

"WAIT" Maria Pancakes interrupted the feed for her viewers, "Paul zoom in on the woman in green... I don't believe my eyes..." Maria said dumbfounded, "I don't believe it. Viewers if you are just tuning in...the royal family have turned out in support of King Julius retirement from the throne and one of the women bares a striking resemblance to our long since and presumed deceased wife of heir to the throne Prince Christian and future Queen of Windenburg."

"It looks like our Future Queen may not have died in child birth as we first thought...It's true ladies and gentlemen. I can confirm our Princess is still alive...and it looks like the child may have survived birth... He is taking the stand now and I can't believe I didn't see it before. He's the spiting image of our prince..."

"Hi," Nicholas started heavily, swallow a lump that felt like it was the size of mount Everest, "The rumours are true...my name is Nicholas Browning. Though... I guess its Collazo now. I am Prince Christian's son..."
https://i.imgur.com/kT0IZJr.png
"And ... ah, the Heir to the Throne a responsibility I accept in full.
