Summary
This was the one thing that all agreed on, from the province council of which Father was a member on down to the most ignorant servant. The proclamation asked for the suitor whom each province felt best represented them. Whether or not Ghyslaine truly represented the province was immaterial, despite her rough hands from carving wood, the persistent smell from minding various livestock. For 'suitor', the proclamation meant a man.

Summary
"Your turn," Sara said. "Let's see who we're eating with."
After a long, considering pause, the villain lifted her sleeves to the sides of her cowl. A twitch was enough to flick it back from her head, revealing a visage of pure night, a shockingly dark, impossibly gaping void cut from the cheery yellow backdrop of their kitchen.
On second look, it wasn't the solid black hole, the sucking emptiness, that it appeared, but a mass of writhing tendrils instead—tangled and seething, squirming in a vague imitation of humanity, like a nest of vipers dumped over a person's head, barely clinging to it for form; or a plume of black smoke trapped in a bulb, wisps and tendrils tickling against the inner glass, ever a moment of inattention from breaking free.
Sara took a quick, nervous gulp of water.
"Okay," she gurgled. "That's cool, you can put it back on now. Thanks."
